Nichols Share Discussion Threads

Guess we'll find out a little more next Wednesday re half year results. Last update confirmed business is confident of meeting consensus for the year, even with some inflationary and supply chain headwinds.

Notwithstanding the above, also be interesting to see if they are making any progress on acquisitions and cash position.

Surely today's £1 rise isn't just about the weather?

[essentialinvestor] 06/7/2022 11:22:55

That's a yes.

[essentialinvestor] 04/7/2022 14:32:52

Bouncing from around the levels seen previously,
if so should be a nice upwards move?.

[essentialinvestor] 01/7/2022 18:26:04

Bought a few, around the level NICL often bounces from - BUT, this is a new bear market.

'Nichols revamps Vimto squash bottle'

[wad collector] 12/5/2022 19:36:26

If you look at the actual prices , the spread is usually reasonably tight , it's just a small company, but the indicative spread is usually wrong.
Good to see a strong performance , rather better than most of my portfolio.

[sponges] 01/5/2022 14:14:20

Is there a reason why there is such a big spread on buy sell here ?

Nichols is a defensive pick for Berenberg

Beverage group Nichols (NICL) is benefiting from market momentum and is a defensive pick in a challenging market, according to Berenberg.

Analyst Ashton Olds retained his ‘hold’ recommendation and target price of £13.25 on the maker of Vimto, which fell 3.2% to £13.05 on Thursday.

He said a first-quarter update ‘highlighted prevailing momentum in the UK market and provides a positive read-through to the broader soft drinks sector’.

‘A buoyant sales performance, underpinned by distribution growth and market share gains, has offset incremental cost inflation,’ said Olds.

‘Off the back of this performance, we have left our operating profit expectations broadly unchanged. We remain “hold”-rated on Nichols given its premium valuation to UK soft drink peers but view it as a defensive exposure in a challenging equity market.’

[philanderer] 26/4/2022 13:57:47

Maybe a trading update with the AGM tomorrow ?

Nichols plc launches Vimto innovations & Big Cash Giveaway promotion this spring

[topvest] 31/3/2022 21:52:26

Yes, absolutely. A really good company this one!

[disneydonald] 31/3/2022 19:31:58

Good to see the CEO and CFO buying some shares with their own money (i.e. not management incentive plan).

xd tomorrow morning for the 13.1p dividend


Another two litre bottle of vimto squash for me this morning, usually £3 reduced to £2 :-)

[topvest] 13/3/2022 12:00:28

It's a great little company this one. I'm happy to hold what I have left here. The big positive versus BAG (which I also hold) is that this has real overseas growth potential.

[wad collector] 12/3/2022 09:39:11

IC says hold , awaiting their Out of Home review , hit by the outlet covid closures. I see that the Vimto squash now outsells the carbobated.25X prospective P/E.

[justiceforthemany] 03/3/2022 12:57:36

Sold out this morning at a 20% profit.
P/E is around 30 which I can not justify.
Dividend is also poor yielding 2%
I thought the statement yesterday had a negative undertone also re: business today vs pre pandemic.
AG Barr looks better value.

[philanderer] 02/3/2022 10:59:08

Happy to hold.

Prelims next wednesday

[philanderer] 23/2/2022 16:07:37

Bought two 2L bottles of Vimto squash 'on offer' in Sainsbury's for £2.00 this morning.

Only one left there now :-)

[justiceforthemany] 16/2/2022 15:34:08

Spread of 100p
Ridiculous

[philanderer] 15/2/2022 16:15:14

Prominsing, just seen a 1500p AT buy.

[philanderer] 01/2/2022 11:07:55

Read across from a solid BAG update.

[justiceforthemany] 19/1/2022 16:08:07

The spread here is frankly ridiculous. Poor performer for a while now.
