A timely announcement and now might be worth taking the lolly IMO

[john09] 22/5/2020 21:15

Would have been £2.50 I bet

[paddyfool] 22/5/2020 21:12

“It has the potential to take the Marston’s brand global and brings Carlsberg back into the distribution and porterage business only after a few short years of leaving it”

MarstonsToday 19:22Omg I bought 3000 shares weeks ago and set a sell instruction @50p , decided last night to remove it . Wow ....

Think that's given it a shake up !
Need a new thread title now.

Essentially, MARS lose £580m of 'brewing assets' but gain - UP TO - £273m cash and 40% of a £780m new company.

Make an estimated £24m in annual savings (no doubt at CAMRA's disgust) and of course we all know that creating this new company and adapting working practices at Mars & Carlsberg around it will cost money.

Exciting times.
The quality of the beer had better not suffer.
Great news for the MARS share price today, not much movement on the Carlsberg front.

Expect volatility.

[cokehookerscars] 22/5/2020 19:21

There'll be plenty of volatility here until late this year when the deal will be finalised.

Having had a brief look at the plan it does look extremely good news for Marstons :-)

Carlsberg's share price has barely moved.

I did say 100% rise was coming on the back of that rns.

Investors cheered news today that beer and pubs group Marston's (MARS) will merge its brewing business with Carlsberg UK to form Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company, lifting the shares a dizzying 101% to 65.5p.The deal values the UK's largest brewing business, with six breweries and eleven distribution centres, at up to £580m, almost three times its current market cap and around 13 times adjusted 2019 earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA).

“This announcement about a proposed new Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company is a red flag to beer drinkers and pub goers across the UK and gives us cause for concern about the future of British beers, brands and breweries.

“If this joint venture goes ahead, we would see further consolidation of the brewing industry into just a few large, international players – to the detriment of our national brewing heritage, consumer choice, the diversity of beer in pubs across the country and the access to market for the small, independent brewing industry.

“CAMRA wants to see Carlsberg and Marston’s protect jobs and protect pubs, as well as to resist any brewery closures or moves which would see existing beers losing their identity, or regional character, as part of a merger.”

I’m pretty sure these will be in the 80s at least on Tuesday

Well done today everyone who knew in the 20s and 30s that there was huge value here

Delighted

[marktyler1] 22/5/2020 16:59

I hope there is plenty more to come. I’m still sitting on them at £1.20

[chinese investor] 22/5/2020 16:43
