Watches Of Switzerland Share Discussion Threads

[johndoe23] 24/6/2024 11:57

A few folk short on here, judging by some of the comments

Yeah. Paid $130m for Roberto Coin, $120m being upfront, and $10m depending on performance.
With that deal got nearly $88m of gross assets.
They made $30m profit before tax last year, so in my duffer book, once WOSG have netted a couple of years of profit from them, that the cost paid for, allowing for the assets bought which have an intrinsic value, WOSG paid approx $42m over the gross asset value to buy the company.
I know it's a simplistic view, but it works for me :)

US acquisition is a game changer. Reminder of US bounce:

Demand for pricey models remains strong thanks to US buyers

Share price up, nice.
Soon be back at 7 to 8 quid.

You don't get rich and wealthy buying things on impulse and a whim. WOSG need a thriving upper-mid range middle class to be in a good place and I don't think they are.

Wealthy people, and folk who aspire to own a high-end watch always there, gotta remember Rolex watches rarely decline in value such as the supply is controlled. This market recognised for the investment case.

There are plenty of rich peeps in the UK with just buy expensive stuff they like in the UK.
The5 like to turn up at a motor/watch/clothes/etc dealership and buy on impulse.
Plus this lot has plenty of places abroad.

UK Kicking out (or rather making it to expensive tax wise) for the Non-Doms. No VAT rebate for tourists. Increase in UK taxes. So for UK market anyway who are the people who will purchase.

As long as the statement suggests maintained guidance then we will see a steady rise, any contradiction of end of year statement may see an alternative response.

[hamhamham1] 22/6/2024 15:26

The share price is nearly half where it was a year ago based upon worry, if results are reassuring, which I think they will be as indicated in recent RNSs, the share price will ride back up to 7 or 8 quid, no problem.

[trying2trade] 22/6/2024 14:04

I don't see a jump up on results. Could well be wrong and I'll miss the chance to get in but that's the game we play.

[jsg123] 21/6/2024 22:35

We know pretty much already what the results are, they only updated a month ago.
Pay your money and take your chance

[trying2trade] 21/6/2024 21:19

The price of used watches has taken a big hit, the 'investor' buyers aren't going to be piling into these like they were. I don't expect this next set of results to be good, hoping to enter.

[hamhamham1] 21/6/2024 19:46

Consumer confidence at top end never left.
Rolex won't bite the hand that feeds them, if they restrict numbers too much, retailers will just fill the void with other top brands, brands who are all fighting to get profile in high class retailers.

[bookbroker] 21/6/2024 11:56

Consolidation maybe, still believe relationships with suppliers strong, just need consumer confidence in the top end to return. The absence of Russian money likely does not help, if VAT shopping returned then a big boost, but company’s like Rolex can easily restrict supply to maintain profile.

Are people selling as expect bad news , or shorters unloading expecting bounce back .. they won't leave this alone , sentiment seems unsure.

[ayl30] 20/6/2024 06:47

Interesting but I think comment about blowing open is a tad exaggerated. Think they are just another small craft player - like Bremont

[mountpleasant] 19/6/2024 17:57

New brand is looking to blow open the luxury watch business.

They've shorted this down on low volume all day long.
Leeches

Keep up, the Tories have already done that by removing Tax Free for (watch) tourists so now all the shops, restaurants & hotels in London are poorer, whereas other foreign capitals benefit. Surprisingly short sighted and inept call

[takeiteasy] 14/6/2024 11:41

best to talk about politics when chart here appears broken to pieces ...but linking Starmer to a discussion about selling world class watches....hmmm...best for me not to comment ...

Farage makes the other speakers look like amateurs.
