Hi all

Just bought in yesterday

Looks a good prospect for 220p over the next 6 months?

Just a thought?

[blueeyes13] 23/11/2016 08:19

I've just bought in an initial position yesterday and good to be onboard. BB2, we meet again! Good to see you! :-)

Chart shows a potential Cup pattern with an ultimate tp around 200. The handle is a Head and Shoulders pattern with a tp above the 200sma of approx 168. 50sma has crossed 200sma.

Very positive article, thanks for posting it Marty.

Tipped in the Mail on Sunday today so expect a big spike up in the share price tomorrow, but more importantly RBG will now be on the radar of lots more PIs.

Just been through the presentation, got alot of good detail in there for sure. Plenty of encouraging operating metrics, but the free cash flow yield is another that sticks out.

Also of note is that the 5 new openings in 2016 are all performing ahead of expectations, so they must be doing something right! Wonder if they will be a beneficiary of the weakness in sterling with more spend domestically too?

Away from fundamentals in watching the trading action here, looks like we've had a few months of caution with some larger sellers holding the price down, but sentiment has changed on the results with alot of large volume going through the backdoor (delayed trades etc).

Both Polar Capital and Royal London (HSBC) have been selling, but clearly someone is on the other end buying it up. You could sell at a premium to the bid in size today with a big buyer mopping up 100k at 170, so it looks a great deal more interesting than I first thought.

One to stick on the main lists for me - holding on for more than £2 (float price) now!

All imo

Hi,

Yes, I'm Paul Scott - small caps blogger from Stocko pedia.

For anyone interested, I included sections on RBG on results day 4 Oct 2016:


Also another mention of RBG here on 10 Oct 2016:



The more I look at the numbers, the more I like it.

There's a very good results presentation available. It's got lots of useful info, and also nice pictures of the various sites, which look really good (so they should for £1m fit-out cost on average!):




EssentialInvestor - this company (RBG) used to be called Inventive Leisure I think, and was stock market listed, until being bought out by Alchemy Partners in 2006. It re-floated in 2015. Unfortunately, I can't remember anything much about it from back then.

The RNSs from Inventive Leisure are still on investegate, here:


I've been having a look through them, and the company then seemed to be more focussed on the student market, whereas it now seems to be moving/have moved more upmarket.

The figures look good, so it seems to have been a successful business for quite a while, and left the market on a high, rather than a low. It had some debt then, whereas now is completely debt-free, so is in a stronger financial position now then then, and also making about double the profits now that it did back then.


Regards, Paul.

Paul, you must remember this Company first time around?.

[yupawiese2010] 12/10/2016 19:24

No its John Rosier.

[sailastra] 12/10/2016 18:05

www.johnsinvestmentchronicle.com and Paul Scott are both on the case.....Is that you Paul

Directors bought stock on the 4th of October

Not without it's risks but I got in earlier today hoping that a turn in the recent downward trend is now underway

[sphere25] 12/10/2016 16:23

Yeah, I didn't expect to see such good fundamentals when I initially saw the chart. Often stocks which have fallen a long way like this have something wrong e.g. too much debt or they've warned on profits, so a nice surprise on seeing the balance sheet and cashflow.

I was mostly watching for a short-medium term trade on a breakout, but good to know about the much deeper fundamentals with the stress testing aspect also!

This board is dead so the herd haven't arrived yet - best pick up as much cheap stock as we can in the meantime ;-) ha

Onwards and upwards!

[paulypilot] 12/10/2016 15:41

@Sphere,

Yes I agree. This is a completely debt-free high end bars group.
It's generating a ton of cashflow, as you say, which is allowing it to self-fund a roll out of more sites (fit outs c. £1m per site) without the need for any bank debt whatsoever.

The fwd PER is only about 9! That looks very cheap to me.

I don't normally invest in bars groups, as they often go bust in recessions, when engulfed with bank debt. Luminar was a case of that, which collapsed under weight of excessive debt when sales plummeted about 17%.

So I have stress tested RBG to see what would happen if its sales also plunged 17%, and it remained cashflow positive (just). So it could sail through a deep recession without any problems.

One of my favourite shares at the moment (I've been buying in recent days).


Downsides are that the sites are leasehold, so rent reviews could blunt profits in future. Also, there is always the risk that its format becomes tired & goes out of fashion, as customers are fickle.

I think they under-priced the IPO, and we can buy about 20% cheaper now in the open market. Recent accounts looked good to me.

Not many private investors know about this share, as most shares are in Institutional hands.

Regards, Paul.

[sphere25] 12/10/2016 14:39

I'm sure this was highlighted by someone recently. Finally breaking out after months of sideways movement.

Market cap at 165p = £82.5m
Operating cash flow = £14.2m

Trading at 5.8x! Dirt cheap!

Dividend yield @165 = 3.3%

And then there's about £50m of net tangible assets on the balance sheet!

Headed back to the IPO price of £2 and it looks cheap there!

Sphere - long
