Additionally, we now also have relatively decent upcoming dividends to look forward to (please see below):



And also good to note the RNS post market close here today stating that Artemis Investment Management LLP increased its stake in Victorian Plumbing (LON: VIC) from 3.111496% to 4.01608% (sometime between 7 April and 15 May 2025), most likely during past 2 days (14 & 15 May), all boding very well for next week.

And we wonder why growth companies list in the US, if they can. Vic announce that earnings will be depressed by massively expanding its market and the shares get walloped. Defo a buy at these levels.

Wow, missed this drop today, and just put in my order for tomorrow as it now looks too crazy cheap to ignore (do the maths). I strongly believe we will se a very nice bounce back up starting tomorrow towards much more realistic levels, seen it happen too often, especially amongst AIM listed companies, VIC is also a solid company (unlike few others currently trading in AIM).

Macro from BoE:

-Inflation worse than expected
-Growth worse than expected
-Gradual and careful approach to rate cuts
-Sounding less dovish on the path of rate cuts

All in all, unconvincing and we're a flat lining economy at best.

So does that mean the likes of VIC can keep performing this year?

I can't tell if VIC and others are going to warn this year or manage to muddle through in this environment. It sounds like we might be lucky to get a flat economy too, so what happens if it gets worse?

Outside of quick trade attempts in windows between updates, when a company gets close to their scheduled update, I am waiting on the updates to make sure I am not buying into a warning.

So a few nuggets on the macro there.

How about the micro?

Some notable comments from Stephen English at Stellar Asset Management who calls this the top pick this year:

- VIC one of few who managed volume growth last year
- Could be seen as less cyclical due to a natural hedge within the business. When people trade down to their own brand products, sales fall, but the gross margin of own brand is 55% versus third party brands at 35% so this compensates
- Unfair competitive advantage, due to gross margin being 10 percentage points higher than peers, which allows the ability to spend 30% of revenue (£90m) on advertising
- 36,000 products across 150 brands
- Targeting more valuable trade customers
- New distribution centre is a whopping 540,000 square feet which could have 10 football pitches in it! Driving continued efficiencies from this.
- Could do £600m sales on the back of the above, targeting adjacent categories of flooring, heating etc....oh....AND TILES....WITH CEO SAYING HE WANTS TO PUT TOPPS TILES OUT OF BUSINESS SO WATCH THIS SPACE HA
-EBITDA margins of 15% results in possible £90m target
- Buying Victoria Plum means full benefit of advertising expenditure flows through now
- European expansion in time

Technicals and order book wise:

There have been buyers in size on the bid at 105p, mopping up during the day and some chunky orders in the auction too. Unusual to see as you don't get too many companies with this form of resilience in the smaller caps market.

The above story clearly explains why it is holding so well with buyers in size trying to exhaust the relentless sellers. I don't know if it can hold in light of the macro so it is quite an interesting ding-dong to watch at 105p right now.

My trade has done nothing so I have come out of it, but still watching in to see who wins this battle. It could break sharply either way depending who wins the battle. That is the way VIC moves.

Ultimately, looks worth keeping an eye on to see how they cope with the challenging macro and whether they can execute on the story.....AND if they can put TPT out of business!

Bold stuff.

Let's see.

VIC has structural tailwinds, improved efficiencies from the new warehouse, and the moves into adjacent categories like tiles. It was good to see why they shut down Vic Plum today. Initially, I could not understand it but it does get a competitor out of the way and, more importantly, clears the way for better branding. I suspect that Plum was free-riding VIC's massive ad spend. I'd not be surprised to see them drop Plumbing from the name altogether in the coming years if the tiles and decor business develops and they become an all-around DIY and trade destination.

And btw, you get the chance to co-invest with a seriously hungry and ambitious CEO, who owns most of the shares and is a proper long-term manager and investor.

VIC can't deal with B2C in the way they think they would like to. Their policy of leaving a returns service to retail customers is telling. The reliance on trade customers is dangerous as their customers will move in droves to cheaper/friendlier platforms. Their price is over-stated given inevitable dropping margins in B2T.

lol

I sold some VCP and had to double check the VIC position was still there ha

They're both right next to each other on monitor list and on the share dealing positions.

It is nice to catch some fireworks though, even if that VCP type of firework comes with a scary fuse. I'm just banking along the way - too much risk to be comfortable. If it eventually goes wrong, the rampers disappear without a care in the world causing massive losses for some. It is good when people point out the risks. People can bank along the way for a potentially free carry now.

Fun fact:

Half of the $46 trillion S&P500 market cap was represented by 10 US shares today.


So back to VIC. What a bizarre day here. When I posted, just under 5k shares had been traded, and now the final count is in at a whopping 4m! They must have been keen to get back to the trading desks today.

It doesn't get better than that in terms of an efforts by the buyers to clear the sellers. Got big blocks picked up at 97p and then big buying at full ask of 98p. There was one persistent order on the offer at 98p which was proving stubborn. It was only a small order but big blocks of buys were only causing small AT trades, so it just showed that it was a monster sell order.

So definitely worth a go for a trade, but there could be a problem here now. With this much buying, the price should have cleared 98p and £1. This is anomalous buying for VIC. Sometimes the market can see that the sellers are too big and the price can reverse if the sellers aren't cleared.

Find out tomorrow if the stubborn seller can be cleared. Probably take a little loss if not.

Overall though, I guess days like today make this lacklustre market somewhat interesting.
