Posted at 20/6/2025 11:06 by yump I’m splitting hairs a bit of course, but if the public know that the gold price is high, they’ll want more, but if the % margin is the same, the actual £ profit for RFX will be higher. I guess that is a direct benefit of a higher gold price as long as the % margin doesn’t drop.I’ll be watching for the turn in the gold price, assuming RFX would then suffer from a kind of reverse gearing, although an insecure world doen’t look likely to improve. |
Posted at 20/6/2025 08:55 by lord loads of lolly yump - I get your point, but RFX repeatedly said at their latest results presentation that the company HAD directly benefited from the high gold price.The special dividend was issued in recognition of this. In the case of H&T, it benefited by only marginally increasing the price it paid for customers’ gold, despite the more significant global gold price rise. Thereby improving margin, as you suggested. More difficult to carry out the same trick in a panicky market with falling prices. Also, hard to envisage what would lead to a situation in the UK where “people suddenly became poorer”. Gradually, maybe, if further tax rises are imposed or inflation/energy prices rise more than is currently forecast. But suddenly? Unlikely I’d suggest. |
Posted at 11/6/2025 23:42 by lord loads of lolly p1nkfish - to me that’s a slightly bizarre reaction. I’m just trying to help with some additional research.I think even you’d agree that gold and its historical price movement is of some relevance & interest to Ramsdens holders. I’m not saying the gold price won’t remain strong - indeed it may well strengthen further. As may RFX’s share price Nobody can predict that. But I think it is at least important to know that historically gold has been pretty volatile & has also endured long periods of stagnation. Personally I think it unwise to look only for positives, without at least being aware of the potential downside. But ultimately everyone must make their own decisions & decide what’s relevant to them. Good luck either way with your investments. |
Posted at 06/6/2025 14:50 by elrico Gold prices may shimmer, but Ramsdens glows brighter. With a share price now more than double our initiation point at 157p, Ramsdens has quietly become one of AIM’s most enduring success stories. In its latest half-year, profit surged 54%, dividends climbed 25%, and digital growth took a leap—proving that pawnbroking, jewellery, and FX can still deliver in the digital age. We unpack the numbers, the risks, and why this quietly compounding cash machine remains firmly on our coverage radar. |
Posted at 06/6/2025 09:45 by lord loads of lolly sigmund - many thanks for your kind comments (I'm a "he" by the way!).I always try to post honest opinions on the shares I hold or am interested in. So I'm glad this came across to you. Whilst it's always good to have a range of opinions on any board, I'm not afraid to call others out if I think they're deliberately just trying to mislead. Or are simply posting nonsense all the time. Fortunately that seems less common in the sectors where RFX & H&T operate. Where to invest my H&T proceeds (assuming the deal proceeds) is quite a conundrum at the moment. RFX ticks many of the boxes, being in a sector I understand with seemingly steady, growing revenues & a progressive dividend policy. But I've already cited my reasons for holding back here at the moment. So if it's not RFX, I'd probably look to insurers / investment managers who've had a decent long term performance with strong, growing dividends. I've enough exposure already in racier "growth" shares & funds. Time, at my age, to counterbalance with some steadier, more predictable choices! How about you? |
Posted at 05/6/2025 17:45 by lord loads of lolly Did anyone else tune into today's presentation?As a non-RFX investor, but with a significant holding in H&T, I found it interesting how - proportionately - Ramsdens' pawnbroking division forms a much smaller part of the whole. Interestingly, they referred to the current gold price multiple times, saying their budgetary assumptions were that this would eventually drop. Though Peter did also admit he'd got gold price assumptions wrong multiple times before! It backed up my view that a premium-priced takeover-induced exit from H&T when gold is at/near historical highs might prove to have been quite timely for shareholders. There again, gold could just carry on rising..... The presentation also suggested Ramsdens share price had been boosted by H&T's takeover bid, in which case I suspect this may prove to be temporary. But again, who knows? I found Peter's style confident (almost to the point of slight arrogance/complacenc Overall, it reinforced my view that there will likely be better entry points for RFX some time in the future. The share price just feels a bit frothy to me right now, buoyed both by the high gold price & (to me, unlikely) takeover speculation. Not to detract from the business in any way, as it does come across as tightly run with a higher ROCE than H&T ever managed. |
Posted at 15/5/2025 10:17 by lord loads of lolly p1nkfish - As an H&T holder, I'm not convinced its customers were generally that well informed (or fussed) about who owned the company.I suspect they were more influenced by the convenience of its store locations, the level of customer service they received & the price they were offered / the cost of any loan. Assuming H&T's takeover proceeds, I may well reinvest some of it here. Gold prices are a slight concern for me going forward though, as they're already around their all time high. Some think this trend will continue. But history suggests eventually there’ll be a significant retreat from whatever peak price is reached. And that would likely have a negative impact on the sector. RFX is certainly benefitting from a positive update & potential takeover speculation right now, though I don’t think an acquisition’s that likely. And certainly not from FirstCash, as I imagine this would be overruled by the CMA. H&T was different from RFX in terms of scale & in the proportion of its business devoted to pawnbroking. Also, FirstCash may decide to grow H&T more aggressively, as it appears well capitalised and US companies tend not to hang around. That could mean they pose more of a threat to RFX. All in all, lots to weigh up. But plenty of time, as H&T's deal will take a few months, assuming it actually goes through. I'm not familiar with RFX's share price history yet, but H&T's was quite volatile. I found it best to trade H&T occasionally, rather than tucking it away & forgetting about it. Judging the moments when H&T's share price might have got slightly ahead of itself was relatively straightforward. As was seeing when it looked ridiculously cheap. Of course, I didn't always time it right, but overall it paid to trade the shares occasionally. Assuming the same applies to RFX, I may well wait a while before committing, given that Ramsdens has already enjoyed a strong run and is currently trading around its all time high. Good luck to all existing holders. I may well join you eventually! |
Posted at 07/3/2025 17:06 by lammylover Agreed riverman. RFX is an excellent, well run business, hence why I've held shares here since March 2018. I've traded in and out, held for long periods for dividends and made some good profits over the 7 years.Currently I'm slightly underwater at average £2.25, despite picking up some shares this week at £2.12. I had expected the share price to kick on to £2.60 with results, but like many other UK shares there are just too many headwinds at the moment, not least the increased labour costs caused by the budget. The other problem at the moment is the markets are so febrile. Any possible negative news, is sold into such as the RFX AGM statement not being particularly comprehensive or detailed; so people assume the worst and dump their shares. That's why I posted here that I expected a ceasefire to knock the gold price and hence those companies where the profit margins are closely associated with the gold price. Bookmaker didn't agree - so I added the detail from the Forbes magazine article for information. Maybe its right, maybe its wrong; its just one view point. Regardless, I'm happy to hold here and expect the share price to continue to rise steadily over time as the Board get on with running a solid, growing business with tight cost controls. Equally I'd be happy if the share price takes a tumble, below £2.00 and I can add a significantly bigger quantity to my portfolio. |
Posted at 06/3/2025 18:42 by lammylover Forbes Article dated 17 Feb 25Peak Gold In Sight As Ukraine Peace Talks Start. Peak gold is approaching in the current cycle of rising prices for the metal and might even have arrived as Ukraine peace talks start. A glimpse of the change from a rampant one-way trade can be seen in the modest correction over the past week which has rubbed $40 an ounce off the price since hitting an all-time high of $2939/oz on the London bullion market. That record could be beaten as momentum trading and late arrivals at the gold party edge it to within sight of the once unimaginable $3000/oz. But, for the first time since gold took off after the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine the tide is turning as the fundamentals of demand destruction and rising supply eat into the price. Morgan Stanley, an investment bank, expects gold to slip back to $2700/oz by the end of the year and possibly as low as $2400/oz, where it was 12-months ago. Central bank buying will remain the major driver in the gold market, running at double the rate before the start of the war in Ukraine, but no longer showing a rising trend. “Tariff uncertainty could take prices a bit higher, in our view,” the bank said. “But further demand destruction and supply response from recycling and potential profit taking suggests prices could end 2025 lower than they are today, we forecast $2700/oz by the fourth quarter.” $2400/oz Possible In Peace Deal The low-ball price of $2400/oz in Morgan Stanley’s calculations is based on a possible decline in central bank buying “that may arise in the event of a potential Russia/Ukraine peace deal.” The bank said gold’s rising price since the start of the year was initially fuelled by restocking inventory on the U.S. Comex market and resulting drawdown in other markets. “This effect may be fading now with the Comex and London price spread narrowing again and U.S. stocks close to levels there they previously plateaued,” Morgan Stanley said in a research report headed “Gold: Unstoppable?” Perhaps the answer to the question in the headline as to whether gold is unstoppable lies in the next move by central banks which have more buying power than any other players in the gold market. For gold enthusiasts, Morgan Stanley had a sobering warning in its analysis of a “basket of drivers” including analysis of the 10-year TIPS (inflation protected Treasury bonds), the DXY (U.S. dollar index), central bank reserves, ETF holdings, U.S. consumer price inflation, global risk index and commodity futures net positioning. After analyzing those factors and their effect on the price of gold Morgan Stanely could only get to a price of $2000/oz because the regression is trained on data over the last five years. The “newest” driver of gold since 2022, central bank buying, still appears robust, though not necessarily showing a growing trajectory, Morgan Stanley said. “The latest data published by the World Gold Council last week showed a stronger than expected fourth quarter for global central bank purchases at 333 tons (up 54% year on year) and for 2024 to be the third consecutive year of purchases above 1000 tons, which is about double the average rate seen before the start of the Russia/Ukraine conflict,” the bank said. Central Banks Might Buy Less Gold “Our base case assumes a slightly more modest pace of central bank buying in 2025 of 850 tons. “But we continue to watch for downside risks to this from high prices, or a potential Russia/Ukraine peace deal.” Just as a war in Europe triggered a gold boom led by central bank buying, so could an outbreak of peace in Europe trigger a gold slide. |
Posted at 12/1/2024 11:57 by lammylover RFX share price at 212p is a screaming buy. However private investors and funds seem in short supply at the moment. I'm expecting an excellent update on Monday and hopefully some media coverage to bring the buyers back! |
