Where’s our resident buyer KY?


Ha ha ha

No, it seems the rates relief is at company level so 110000 is the max no matter how many pubs in the chain?

[fenners66] 30/10/2024 22:19

MRF - doubt very much that alcoholic will be saving anything on a pint.
More likely paying a lot more from next April.
Anyone being paid NLW will cost the company about 11.4% more from then
the gross increase + Ers NI
Rates is an interesting one does each pub get its own relief? , which we know is being slashed from
75% to 40% adding up to 38500 per pub rates bills

He bought I took a big phat profit

Thanks KY

Scratching my head at the reaction here. Marston get hammered with employers NI. Yes, the odd alcoholic may be 10 pence better off an evening. Did I miss something?

[wigwammer] 30/10/2024 18:38

Yes. KY boy is a total liability and Ihave him filtered... I just hope no one listened to the fool and sold at sub 30p.

[c3479z] 30/10/2024 18:33

think business rate relief is capped at 110000 per company and that's all MARS will save?

[knowing] 30/10/2024 18:26

So KY Boy, yet again, spends months trying to talk a share down. He started at 25p and eventually bought at 41p after realising that he had made an awful mistake.This is the same KY Boy that had previously traded the share in excess of 100p

[barnes4] 30/10/2024 13:38

Omg you could have bought at 25p you muppet KY

Reeves now announces she will be cutting duty on draft alcohol - to loud cheers from MPs.

"Which means a penny off the pints at the pubs," the chancellor says.

Alcohol duty rates on non-draught products will increase in line with RPI from February next year.

Dead on arrival, Autumn Statement tomorrow 🚨🚨🚨🚨

The budget is the next meaningful event for Marstons.

Lots of speculation about it , including from the DM today

"The Low Pay Commission, which advises the Government on the level of the 'living wage', has previously projected that the minimum could rise by 3.9 per cent next April – double the rate of inflation – which would take it from £11.44 an hour to £11.89.

But government sources indicated the final figure will be higher as the quango will now be using a new mandate handed to it by Ms Reeves in the summer, which will require it to take greater account of the cost of living.

The move comes on top of plans to raise employers' NI by between one and two per cent in a £20 billion raid on business."


Labour cost was 24.4% (£213.1m) of sales in the year to Sep 23....

Oh. Bears silent about one of their big worries disappearing... Quelle surprise

[wigwammer] 25/10/2024 06:49

After weeks of telling us what bad news this was, no doubt we're gonna be inundated with agnostic bears upgrading their expectations today.. :)

[careful] 23/10/2024 10:09

gen z have no cash.
Marston going up to the next generation.
Working couples with cash to spare,
Mum cant be bothered to cook anymore.
The future is bright after the shakeout of struggling pubs.
There were always too many.

I see a future where you will be lucky to book a table.

[ny boy] 23/10/2024 09:26

Agree, this is not an investment, when was the last time you went to a pub, I can’t stand the places, poor food, over priced and drinks prices a rip off, no wonder gen Z have set the cultural changes which are significant. The debt mountain is ridiculous
Markets are struggling for direction in the US, here and in Europe, no equities are value, wait to see first Labours Autumn statement 30 Oct, then outcome of US Elections, Cash, Gold & Bitcoin

[fenners66] 22/10/2024 08:32

NY Boy - we don't really need statistical research and extrapolations to come to those conclusions.
Just count the number of pubs that have been closing year over year.
A look around most towns would show boarded up pubs , that change started with the smoking ban
and has increased with more expensive drinks and higher staff costs.

[ny boy] 22/10/2024 02:45

Trend change for some time, Mars is not an investment, loaded with huge debts, a highly questionable portfolio NAV They had their chance rejecting a over over 100p, delusional management, the result is a collapsed share price with less drinking alcohol and Labour’s Autumn will see higher increases in Alcohol taxes. These are facts and why if you go against the trend, you will lose a lot of your shirt.

As part of Mintel’s research into the lifestyles of Gen Z in Britain, our findings indicate that 36% of young adults aged 18-25 most commonly socialise by going to bars and pubs with their friends. In 2023, going to restaurants is one of the most popular choices for socialising, while online gaming, visiting cafes, and going to the cinema have gained comparable popularity to going out for a drink.

We can also see how Gen Z is rejecting alcohol more significantly than other generations by comparing between generational British lifestyles. A distinct pattern emerges when examining age groups, revealing that British consumers aged 20-24 are almost half as likely to prioritise spending on alcoholic drinks for the home than consumers aged over 75. This suggests that a significant number of Gen Z are shifting their focus away from drinking alcohol, both inside and outside the home, and opting instead for sober socialising.

Everyone had a chance to get out of this dogshxt share when it popped to a quid on the takeover offer the management blew, I mean if you ever get a chance to dump out of U.K. stocks….you grab it, they are capital destructive dross. Can see this down to pennies in next recession.
