260=100% gain. What I would normally do is withdraw my original stake and play with free money....but, I think there is a bid coming so I am in 2 minds but..there are a lot of grreat opportunities at the moment.

[marksp2011] 11/1/2022 10:06

This has been bumbling around the 230 mark for months. In days we are over 260.
I still think there is a bid brewing PE loves cash throwers like this one.

i smell a bid

Good recovery here. Pre-covid earnings were about 14p, so should at least recover to somewhere near that and there looks to be decent growth in the business, as a result of new openings etc. even allowing for the post-covid jump.

Fairly simple and scalable business. Throws off cash, nice dividends. I wouldn't be surprised to find this on a much higher p/e in a year's time. It was on about 20 in 2019.

By my calcs they did about £65mln in second half and thats with only 10 weeks of full opening. Of course there was pent up demand but that revenue implies a full unrestricted year would greatly exceed the £120mln+ achieved in 2019.

Very strong.
Venues closed for 50% of the year and pulled in more profit and still only down -10% from the year before (despite the closures).

Excellent start to FY2022, well positioned for the future
o Like-for-like revenue growth for October and November of 38.1% versus FY2019
o Strong balance sheet allowing continued investment in the new centre rollout, refurbishment programme and customer initiatives
o Financial and operational flexibility to move quickly to capitalise on organic and acquisition opportunities

went bowling at the weekend and was absolutely packed. each lane had barriers between the lanes to keep us covid safe. full of families and friends having fun. looks a promising sign and glad i bought recently.

[sutherlh] 03/10/2021 13:28

Thanks Skyship, I agree, will wait until it gets above 380p. H

[skyship] 03/10/2021 11:19

Agreed, BAB showing signs of a BOWL; however the share price is knocking at the top of a seriously wallet-hitting downtrend. Due to UK Government defence contracts I suspect it is also a bid-proof stock, at least from overseas predators:

TEG just reported 22% LFL since reopening, should be good read across here.

[nobbygnome] 06/7/2021 16:27

Patience is a virtue. Results were good and the company is clearly undervalued. As we all know the market doesn't necessarily reflect the true value at any one time. Look back in a couple of weeks and we will see....

[ptgint] 06/7/2021 16:04

I don't think there is anything wrong as a lot of Buy trades seem to be recorded as Sells.

What went wrong Nobby??
