Ugly you/ your pay masters are either getting very desperate or worried, or you are one sad twit who has nothing better to do that cut and paste on a forum….
Btw Thg has had PE approaches and these will continue. If you are short (supposing you actually have money) you are screwed….
Plus by your own account, you are ugly

[london07] 24/4/2022 17:06

Ugly - please keep it up. Absolutely love it.

Local council extends huge loan to billionaire Matt Moulding, founder and boss of beleaguered online retailer The Hut Group

Could he have run out of cash and going to use this loan to buy back more HUT shares?



A labour council - Already appear to have serious debt problems



Read carefully - High risk policy -

[london07] 24/4/2022 16:58

People getting more and more desperate means only one thing. More the merrier, cumon, throw everything you can lol

It’s official - PIGUGLY and the old trout DEBSDOWNER are the most repulsive couple in the UK
WELL DONE YOU TWO WINNERS

For those who cannot understand accounts and business

"The U.K.-listed online retailer--known as the Hut Group--posted a pretax loss of £186 million pounds ($243 million) for 2021 compared with a loss of GBP535 million a year earlier, while revenue rose to GBP2.3

However you dress it up HUT is unprofitable. WPP is very profitable and Softbank "Does not work"!!!!

Sunday Times:

“THG’s smoke and make-up mirrors
Wobbly online beauty retailer THG said it had rejected “unacceptable” bid approaches on Thursday. The buzz covered up bad news on margins, but some onlookers are convinced founder Matt Moulding is also trying to flush out a genuine takeover. Watch this space.”

The buz covered up bad news on margins!

This is a growth story B&M making twice MARKS profits and only half the turnover:



The group only had 22 stores in 2004 now they have 1,100 with sales circa 4.8 billion and over £400 million pre tax.

EBITDA is a load of nonsense in a financial crisis when Joe Public haven't the money to buy essenstials and keep their homes warm.

Be PIG sick when all PI get a £4 offer in a few weeks. Sad little man

[sankshiela] 24/4/2022 16:08

PIGUGLY - you are on thicko. Maybe next time use your to date information. You do know that thg issued their FY2021 results…. It was last week sweetie. Maybe better to post using these Deary.
You total thicko

WPP's operating margin increased to a rate of 14.4%, up from 12.9% in 2020. Its EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) rose 18.2%, giving the company an operating profit of £1.8bn ($2.4bn).Feb 24, 2022

Despite those headwinds, SoftBank eked out $251 million in profit in the three months that ended Dec. 31, a drop of more than 97 percent from a year earlier. The company recorded a loss of $3.5 billion in the previous quarter.Feb 9, 2022

The Hut Group, owners brands including Coggles, Lookfantastic and AllSole, has reported £1.6 billion of revenues for the financial year 2020, with an operating loss of £481.8m

One thing is absolutely abundantly clear without any doubt. Whichever 'dark force' is after THG, The Times is clearly their mouth piece!!!

They look like they are infatuated with THG, and will print whatever negative is fed to them!

Thousands of companies out there, seems like their motives are very clear! Short & Distort is illegal. They should be punished.

[griffo221] 24/4/2022 12:54

I see something happening reasonably quickly. Im happy to hold and will leave some value in thg long term I think. I just dont think now we've got to this point it can be left to just sit at this level as a norm

[zb27] 24/4/2022 12:46

Agree with the views shared.

It's going one of 3 ways, and something will happen very soon:

1. Takeover by PE. Indicated, current offers does not represent fair value, basically told em up your offers, and we could consider. News is out of the bag now, other PE firms will join the party.

2. MM will take it private. He very clearly alluded to this during the investor call. Use PE to take it private!

3. Actions to propel the share price higher in quick order, to shut up this hedge fund/medias negative narrative. Premium listing, sell nutrition, separate Ingenuity, Softbank option, etc.

Whichever way, THG share price is going up. They can play all the games they want, but not for long! And we all know, MM is not selling this for cheap, he and his chums wield the power when it comes to voting, the free float is just not there!

[1apache] 24/4/2022 12:14

The media agendas regarding THG are pretty obvious now I think. Once you look into their ownership and ownership of the news agencies it makes a bit more sense. They are all dancing to the same fiddles.

I would be disappointed if an offer was taken. I think that THG are a relatively leading edge innovator with all of the hard development and infrastructural work done already. It won’t be an easy model to follow quickly. Continued innovation and just experiencing and overcoming unique problems should keep them at the leading edge. My investment here is long term. A quick multiple profit would be nice but I think far bigger gains are to be had over a longer term

[hernando2] 24/4/2022 11:52

To me. the company was put up for sale in the results and todays article about WWP means that the company has a value in Ingenuity that has been hugely discounted.

The times could equally have said,

WWP launches a new service to rival that of THG, they will hope to persuade existing clients to take advantage o their new copy cat service.

WWP of course have the advantage of those existing clients, but we all know that clients are resistant to putting too many eggs into one basket particularly with a new offering from a company that has no expertise in end to end retail delivery.

WWP have along way to go to match the existing THG offering and perhaps should call on their expertise.

OR perhaps buy them and save the bother of developing the logistics and delivery mechanisms that THG do so well.

Oliver Shah also in today’s Sunday Time in his comments column - not a fan of THG but interesting and possibly related to Friday’s Betaville P13 article?

“THG’s smoke and make-up mirrors
Wobbly online beauty retailer THG said it had rejected “unacceptable” bid approaches on Thursday. The buzz covered up bad news on margins, but some onlookers are convinced founder Matt Moulding is also trying to flush out a genuine takeover. Watch this space.”

I wonder what price MM would need to get for THG in order to end this war with Oliver Shah and rest of Fleet Street? So much bad blood.

[a5wab] 24/4/2022 11:29

Takeover interest from several private equity firms, including Advent International and Leonard Green.

[boix] 24/4/2022 11:13

Still no clue on Friday’s Betaville scoop!
We should have crowd funded the £3500 monthly subscription to Betaville.
I assume the hedge funds (short and long) have several subscriptions.
Now two nonsense articles appear in the Sunday papers to tilt Monday’s narrative?
A strange world.
You couldn’t make this up as it’s too nonsensical!
Roll on Monday
Let’s see which narrative sticks for longer.

[london07] 24/4/2022 10:01

Mrs- OMG, has you account been hacked ;)

[mrsimmons] 24/4/2022 09:59

I’m not a fan of THG but even I have to say the SUnday times agenda against the group is slightly baffling. It’s very obvious.

[imjustdandy] 24/4/2022 07:09

We won't be public for too much longer IMO. MM needs to get his own PE onboard now to insure he can counter any bid. I suspect he will be buying big in the market just to protect himself further and to reduce on the overall cost of taking this private.
