MARS have said their profitability is largely independent of Brexit.

However, if Brexit is sorted currencies will rally 15% at least so it's 15% cheaper to buy it now than wait. Of course it could all go the other way.


I have been mulling over what to do this morning and have concluded a share price of 122p is not enough to incentivise me to sell part of my holding. It's about a 25% rise on my entry point and I'm getting the dividends as well but I believe the share price was bashed down below a reasonable level and should never have reached 100p.

To make me sell I'm going to need something better as I'm happy enough holding and MARS helps me diversify my portfolio.

We'll see what happens from here. I'm inclined to think it will consolidate in this area and may spend some time trying to break free of the chart point of 125p.

I am not selling - that is not a recommendation to buy.
It might retrace to 112p but it could zoom to 160p on a bid.
Then there's the dividend.

Good luck to all genuine holders !

If I was a Chinese Investor, which I'm not, I'd wait until the EU discussions were concluded before bidding for MARS.

Skinny, they do have pubs in the south east, but a lot more up north. It would be great if they are taken over, but I dont see it. We have had a rise on the back of GNK, back to where we were 3 months back. Ive sold half my holding to bank a bit, but I dont see it continuing as this is not the same as GNK. All uk shares will gradually slide downwards until some botched deal is agreed on 31/10, then we will be back where we are now.

Sold 25% of my holding at 120.04p to lock in some profit, as paid 94.4p. Will buy back if they drift back down below 110 in next few weeks.

Take overs provide an electric jolt of short-term satisfaction, and an attractive capital gain. But the predator offers a premium for a reason: most likely that there is long-term value in the company which is not reflected its market price. So with a company like this although I might inwardly grumble about the share price, I'd prefer it to remain a quoted company paying a decent dividend rather than succumb to a takeover by a private purchaser. That way one hopes the true value will eventually become reflected in the market price so that share holders benefit, not the predator.

I am little surprised this hasn't risen further given GNK and previously EI. and FST.

We haven't even managed to claw our way to 125 which was the share price before the results. The results to remind did show slow progress in profitabililty the directors committed to a re-phasing of the debt repayments to make progress quicker from the outset.

To be sure Marstons estate doesn't have the potential in inner London for re-use that GNK's does but I would have thought the takeover potential puts further support under the share price in addition to the yield and longer term plans to pay down the debt.

I guess I'm happy to be patient, collect the dividend and wait. But I'm much rather a takeout at a higher price. Fingers crossed.

Hi QuePassa

In January this year you were rolling in the aisles laughing at my suggestion a takeover bid for Marston's could be in the region of £1.70. In light of the GNK bid, what's your current view?

The two highest leveraged Pubcos (Punch and Enterprise Inns) have already been taken over.

Maybe, but unlikely. GNK has real estate in London and all over the rich south east. Marstons has real estate in places like Tipton, Wolverhampton and Mansfield. Add the billion pounds plus debt and it is not quite so attractive.
