Raised dividend

dD , a good summary.

I'm happy to hold what I've got.

Well, we now we know the King had no clothes ... Now results segmented on business unit rather than product type we can see that the OoH business is barely profitable, and this is after the big write down last year. So, hopefully we can now move forward and focus on the packaged business (Both UK and International) driving forward with good gains not being diluted by OoH (see what I did there ).

Hard to see any stellar gains in the share price at the mo, with relatively flat earnings, dividend growth steady but nothing special forecast. They could always pay a special dividend from the cash pile if no "acquisitions" in the pipeline, although I worry about acquisitions given the past record and subsequent write downs in the OoH business.

Would be interested to know what the strategic position is re OoH; just don't lose money, clean it up and offload (if that's possible given the need to control and manage the Vimto brand), wind it down to minimum footprint offloading all non "Vimto" products, focus on expanding the royalty side of the OoH business as that would be asset light.

[philanderer] 28/6/2023 13:54

1000 sell @ 984p

[sleepy] 10/6/2023 11:50

Actually purchase of 3k shares at 983p

Seems the non Exec Chairman (Lady) purchase of around 30k shares has had a positive effect. Once they get the OoH business sorted and on a even keel (not losing money), then the main Vimto packaged business should. be able to drive things forward. Of course it would help if a new CFO gets appointed soon(ish), to help stabilise the core management team

[philanderer] 26/5/2023 22:02

Non exec purchase of shares.

[justiceforthemany] 25/5/2023 21:10
