all business are having to deal with min wage"

All businesses ?

Yeah when if I want a private operation - the surgeon and his staff are all on minimum wage too... not.

Try and understand the nature of a business that is in a service industry that pays a lot of staff low wages or minimum wage.
Their costs rise - out of their control.
Their customers are discretionary.
Their customers can stay at home and eat out less, can drink booze from the supermarket,and smoke with a drink
in their own homes whilst they cannot in the pub.

Consider 1,293 pubs closed last year (per camra)

The competition is fierce and you don't think that all the large investors have not considered the debt ?
Why do you think the shares are close to an all time low then ?

Dipped my toe in last week and a bit more this week. Average at 28.75p. £100,000 purchase by Justin Platt. That's a hell of a statement from the CEO following on from Allan Bentley's purchase last month. I believe this represents excellent value.

Good time for a beer, and buy a few shares in Marston's while I'm at it, with so much competition going by the way side, energy falling, tax drop, interest rates having peaked, and a slow stable retreat, with also food prices falling, people now acclimated to paying more to go out with slightly less choice, and less on the plate thee days (got to think of health) the picture is compelling enough, mark this point, game on...

[the imperialist] 15/3/2024 11:36

Didn't they already turn down 100p per share here?

[heatseek77] 15/3/2024 11:27

Nice to see new CEO bought 350,000 shares at 28.5p (£100k worth) must be happy with what he's seen since beginning of the year 👍🏻🚀

[the imperialist] 15/3/2024 10:14

Looking good :-)

The directors should be paid a very basic salary with a bonus based on shareholder returns.

[fenners66] 14/3/2024 23:23

But that would avoid the raison d'etre - providing a massive income for their directors !

[dexdringle] 14/3/2024 19:11

For years, Marstons paid a dividend of around 7p a share which stopped dead in 2020.

What is the point of the business if it isn't providing a return to the owners ? In the absence of any likelihood of a return to dividends, surely the most sensible thing to do would be to gradually liquidate assets, clear debt and return the surplus to shareholders ?

[jubberjim] 14/3/2024 10:24

I want to buy but refuse to deal on the spreads quoted


Leave a bid and some hanger on immediately goes inside

Resigned to waiting as have more than enough in the sock drawer

Might have to buy a new tallboy

good luck

[heatseek77] 13/3/2024 09:20

Yes Jim it could work out a treat...

[jubberjim] 13/3/2024 07:58

In light of the move across to British Land of our lame duck it is hoped that the regulatory authorities will be keeping an eagle eye on any decisions by said company .

In doing nothing for the Marstons share price there will have been a lot of knowledge gathered as to Marstons Pubs and land holdings which i would imagine might be substantial.

Be safe

What was the offer they turn down previously? 🤦🏻‍♀️
