Took a little loss here as per a few trades of late with the bigger panic out there. When the market gets volatile and erratic, I take the losses or de-risk quickly and wait. The market has clearly moved even further downward on the back of that Ooompa-Loompa in the US.

TheIsland,

I suspect these moves are partly a combination of the continuing existing factors in play like the well known terrible sentiment with persistent monthly fund outflows so alot of forced selling. Then there are the well known cost increases and on top of that the Orange "America is the best....everyone else is a pile of dung" appears to be hell bent on causing ruptions in markets and sapping sentiment even more.

The latter likely explains the most recent move down here and elsewhere. I think the market is also looking at the high street with the likes of Poundland wanting out and having a wonder about how bad it is out there.

WRKS, CARD, SUP (had a little go there, went through my stop and carried on down - can't find a bottom), BOWL, GYM (that was a good update with strong free cash flow expected - didn't rally, seller in size at 135p).....GRG slowing growth caused that price to fall as well so it is around the market at these more affordable price point areas where there are serious concerns.

You'd think they would be more resilient in this sort of environment, but it looks like the market is saying there is a greater chance of forecasts not being met as confidence falters.

CCR warn today blaming the budget and cost increases - it is difficult out there.

I'm not saying they're all going to warn, but this is how I'm reading what the market is saying with the price moves of late. Hope they all muddle through. Happy to wait for the updates and have a go at a long trade in some with a tight stop. They are so beaten up - sharp relief bounces could easily happen.

Well, have to make sure the Orange One doesn't cause any further panic first!

Watching these moves in the S&P500 as it feeds through here and usually affects trades. Just need to make sure they don't really crash and it is just a growth scare re-rating downward. rather than anything worse. A recession and they lose an easy 20% from here - don't think they allow that.

The S&P500 attempted a mechanical form of oversold bounce to 5630 and it kept failing. Now it is down at the bottom end of the range near 5550 - needs to hold that or it is more downside. Apparently hedge funds are only half way through deleveraging, according to Goldman Sachs.

I don't trade indices - no idea where they're gonna move from one headline to the next. Just watch those key price points to make sure the risk is managed over here.

Interestingly, the Ooompa-Loompa holds leverage over his targets on the tariff front, but with the markets continuing to sell off (as he escalates the trade war), that leverage is being whittled away.

Wonder where the line is.

A little scurry of buying coming in here with volume popping toward half a million. The market is now happy to exchange at 22.5p.

But it is hard work as usual with WRKS.

So we have Mike Burn picking up 1.21% and Hudson continuing their rampant buying spree, adding 1.8% (to now go to 17%) so that is 3% picked up in double quick time. Kelso were buyers, Downing had been cleared and there is more buying coming in now. WRKS is a very illiquid share too, and with all of this, it still won't budge for at least a pop higher.

But noteworthy buying.

Just don't know who is holding it back. Is it someone under the disclosure threshold. I can see movements down by Chelverton and Dowgate. No idea if this is entirely accurate though.

Just looking for a demand imbalance for a pop higher.

Someone is sat stubbornly on the offer at 22.5p with a big sell order in icebergs of 10k right now.

Go on, pick up another 3%, let's see if that is magic number that allows a little pop higher. A few percent in this day and age does nothing. Sellers just exhaust it and drive the price back down.

Show your teeth Bulls - buy bigger to give WRKS a chance of a spike!

I can see in Stocko that a broker today has revised their EPS to about 5p for 2025 and 2026 (4.8p for 2025 and 5.17p for 2026 to be more precise). This puts WRKS on a fwd PE of about 4.5 for both periods.

A week flies by.

You sit there last week wondering what that update meant. The market wasn't sure initially with no activity on the day, but then they sold it down abit.

Now it has been bid back up to near the same mark.

When I read the update, when it hit the wire, just sat there thinking....there is something for both sides there. Is there enough to cause an initial movement? There just wasn't enough to tempt a buy so I have sat it out.

You can have Bears come on here and make their case. Bulls have their case as well...but in the grand scheme of things...it still has this feel about it...

This is from the other board...post 47..from a while back...

"....WRKS is just one of those types of shares that could be more suited to trading too.

It just has a natural gravitation to lurch up and down with the market not being convinced enough that profits can be sustained to attract anything more than this single digit multiple"

I don't know what the future holds, but that is what it has done with a downward bias due the current macro climate and all the worries over performance and cost increases to come.

Primark (ABF) cut their guidance from mid single-digit growth to low single-digit growth, and that guidance was given only in November. CARD comes battling back against doubters with a credible output and the market doesn't re-rate it - you actually have a shorter increasing a position. So the lower end of the spectrum is hard work, even if you believe it should be more resilient in these difficult times.

There is so much to say....

But the market is exchanging in size at 21p, so that's the value right now.

That's the market talking.

Exchanges are 1.6m without delayed prints.

IF the market gets behind the new strategy and believes those big numbers, then yeah there could be an imbalance to the upside. Maybe that is the swing factor amongst all the apprehension here.

So watching in to see if exchanges do pickup for a possible trade.

But a resounding stalemate between Bulls and Bears right now.

Leave it with the forum to throw in both sides.

imho wrks has one of the better shareholder base, very able bod, good infrustructure - but not the right product mix

in the last report they kind of admit it in a halve sentence - so i am optimistic even at that.

it only takes time. to experiment etc

they need a huge drinking weekend lol to spark ideas

or mushroom session with "o" shareholder included into the mix

Sphere, good comment on the general market for retailers but I would suggest The Works is already priced to fail and unlikely to fall further. The outlook may be difficult but the target for the period up to Christmas is achievable. Given their financial strength I see the share price recovering.

I still like this.

People confuse a share price with a company's value.

Could anyone please explain, I see the shares in issue figure has decreased from 62,500000 to 60,210000. Is this a ‘share buyback’ or something else ?
I also note the share price has been dropping ?I would have thought with less shares in issue, the price would have increased.

s23. As you are aware stock levels increase pre Christmas and cash is at its highest level post January sales. It is therefore best to compare cash year on year.
The most recent cash figure is £10.2m vs £16.3 a year earlier. This drop of £6.1m was due to "higher than normal creditor balances" in FY22. It was well flagged and nothing to worry about.
The net cash forecast for the next 2 years is +£3m taking WRKS to about £13 net cash at the end of FY25 (30/04/2025)
Dividend cover is poor for FY23 so a 2.4p dividend is not cast in stone. If the outlook remains stable I think WRKS will maintain 2.4p, as cover improves for FY24.
The WRKS share price is very low but its profit margins are also very tight. A small boost to revenue adds a big boost to profits but the reverse is also true.

Pay rises often start April 1st along with pension and benefit rises. The energy cap is also forecast to fall by £500. This may lead to a better than expected summer for retailers.

WRKS will need to fund the higher living wage which went up nearly 10% last month. Also Amazon are opening a massive distribution centre near to WRKS head office and warehouse. Amazon will be recruiting hard for all positions in the new DC which will add wage pressures locally to an already tight labour market.

No doubt like most people reading this I monitor both Card and Wrks share price closely.

Until recently they were always very similar taking turns to edge in front of each other.

That was until Wrks issued a badly written RNS on 8th Aug.

1. They didn’t declare the previously mentioned £16 m “available cash”.
2. They increased and extended the bank facility to £30.0m and extends the expiration date to the end of November 2025.

This was interpreted as a profit warning and on that very same day the share price dropped 16p (34%) to 30p were it has languished since.

Truth is that it was just a badly written RNS and they either didn’t feel the need to mention the available cash or just plain forgot and also should have stated that the bank facility was undrawn and just good management being prudent.

This has all been clarified today.
