I can't understand why KGF isn't more popular, at least as a long term investment:

P/B: 0.74
P/E: 10%
Yield: 4.75% and well covered.
Debt/Gearing: Just about right (around 35%)
Good profits, set to grow steadily.
Operating in 8 countries so some protection from Brexit etc
A good, but not radical, strategy to improve and accelerate their digital/data/ecommerce operations and roll out compact stores.
They seem to have a strong management team and motivated staff
There is a need for their services whether the economy worsens OR improves (within reason!)

Is it just that KGF is just not very glamorous??? Is it that it's not a '10 bagger' and unlikely to make an investor rich overnight? What am I missing?!?

Just found this in the Q1 trading update. Seems to focus primarily on e-commerce/technology side of its bricks & clicks operations:-

‘Teach-in̵7; event on 5 July 2022. Kingfisher is hosting an in-person ‘teach-in̵7; event for analysts and institutional investors, on the afternoon of Tuesday, 5 July 2022. The event will take place in London, and will provide deeper insights into the e-commerce/technology and Responsible Business pillars of the ‘Powered by Kingfisher’ strategy.

Sitting duck for a activist investor here, or corporate action?.

at an enterprise value of £8bn, this must be one of the cheapest companies for earnings around, and share buybacks at a price below intrinsic value are great news for investors. dreno - i think there's plenty more the board could do to jack up that share price. even if they don't spin off screwfix, they could provide full disclosure of the separate financials of screwfix and b&q, which would show how how high screwfix's returns and growth are and allow investors to easily calculate a more appropriate valuation. i've done this myself based on estimated rents and floorspace and the value of screwfix is IMO around £4-5bn alone.

Very bullish article in the Investors Chronicle with buy recommendation we’ll worth a read. Potential buyers could be those stocks that are more aimed at the builders or overseas DIY suppliers who could move into the UK market at a cheap price

!YOUTUBEVIDEO:ksfAAsmHV8E:
Will Kingfisher announce a new CEO alongside its Q1 results next Wednesday?

Though it saw a 13% plunge in underlying pre-tax profit to £693 million, March’s full year report was really notable for the changes to the firm’s long-running ONE Kingfisher transformation plan. Forced to abandon the target of a sustainable £500 million annual profit uplift by FY 2020/21, stating that it ‘no longer reflects’ how the business is managed, CEO Veronique Laury was given the boot, though her leaving date wasn’t announced.

Any word on her successor may be the most sought-after piece of news on Wednesday. Beyond that, investors will specifically be looking for signs of improvement in Castorama given Kingfisher said it was ‘implementing a clear plan’ to turnaround the ailing brand. The progress of the extended rollout of Screwfix outlets in the UK and abroad will also be under the spotlight.

16 August I stated Kingfisher continues to say all is good and she is on plan.

Is the plan to waste the cash at hand buying shares back. How much has the company actually lost in pursuing this lost cause. That cash should be held in the account for rainy days.

If all is well then why is the share price going down (7 year lows)
Why is France going down
Why is B&Q not transformed

I think investors willl be questioning this 5 year plan as should the management

Thank you essentialinvestor.
I read the news on retail investor April 30. Not sure that would cause that drop today
