With an annual 'end of year' trading update due out tomorrow, it is beginning to look (from today's share price movement) as if the market senses (or knows?) that 'this' will be positive news. From a great distance, I personally expect a solid update. ex

MARS revenue growth is now outperforming the sector, with growth expected to outperform over the next few years. Currently yielding a 5.25% div @ 139p, and a p/e 10.1 on f/c eps 13.74p for Y Sept 16, these have been oversold.

My mistake. Lots of 2 for 1's in the future then!

[libertine] 01/7/2016 14:30

Not drink I`m afraid.

[defcon3] 01/7/2016 14:26

Ive just spoken with them. A copy of my contract note emailed to them will suffice. Qualifying criteria is 500 shares. Entitles you to 20% off food, drink and accommodation Worth the effort IMO, especially with one of their pubs just down the road!

thanks ianwood, what's the minimum holding please? and how does the loyalty card work - %rate? limits? etc. thanks in advance, ex (p.s. long here and unworried for reasons stated above)

[ianood] 01/7/2016 10:36

I sent the company a copy of my SIPP contract note and received loyalty card by return

[defcon3] 01/7/2016 09:32

Apparently you can with a nominee account - as per the MARS website. AJ Bell don't allow you to though. Might try MARS direct

[skinny] 01/7/2016 09:24

I did with HL, although I haven't used it as yet!

[gbb483] 01/7/2016 09:20

How do you get one with a nominee account?

[defcon3] 30/6/2016 15:00

Anyone here make use of their shareholder privilege card?

National Living Wage is nothing to do with "workers rights", it's an attempt by the Government to lighten the load on the benefits system whereby employers paying low wages were effectively being subsidised by the state topping up employees' pay via working tax credit, housing benefit etc. They'll stick with it (NLW) for that reason.

As for pubs being hit by "consumers tightening the purse strings" (which I personally doubt will happen anyway) the evidence of the last recession was that whilst wet-led 'boozers' suffered, food-led pubs did very well from people trading down from restaurants to pubs.

[r ball] 28/6/2016 18:39

wait until row back on workers rights. National Living Wage (gone).

[speedsgh] 28/6/2016 11:02

True, but worth bearing in mind that much of the profit made these days comes from food sold in pubs, not the drink. Current share price weakness is partly a reflection of the uncertainty as to whether consumers will start tightening the purse strings + eating/drinking out less. I'm undecided as to the likelihood of such an eventuality but the Brexit vote has created this uncertainty. Aimho

bbonsall. With you there,in these times of uncertainty what better than a few pints of pedigree to calm one down.
