Isn't the UT essentially the closing price?

[johndoe23] 27/6/2024 18:42

Ignore the UT, at least it's closed above 425p

[jsg123] 27/6/2024 15:58

Disappointing pullback really.

[johndoe23] 27/6/2024 13:16

Clear path to 650-700

[hamhamham1] 27/6/2024 12:16

Nice rise, but still should be 8 quid +

Maybe someone is running a slideruler on this company. US companies will be the buyers as they know the UK companies are cheap compared to US.

Well, not getting the entry I hoped for. Well done to holders

DecentUS nearing & moving past 50pc is encouraging. Huge oppo. Lack of competitors in this field is remarkable & expansion will attract interest both in watch buyers & speculation re us listing and/or takeover highlights the ludicrous current share price Added 415

@SCSWSharewatch
#wosg WOSG confirmed previous guidance for FY25 sales, inc Roberto Coin, in the range of £1.67bn to £1.73bn with ex fx growth of 9-12%. Mgmt remains 'cautiously optimistic' on FY25 'the UK starting to show signs of stabilisation'.

[bridggar] 27/6/2024 06:55

US listing coming?

[johndoe23] 27/6/2024 06:21

Guidance maintained for FY 25. Not bad

[johndoe23] 24/6/2024 10:57

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

[hamhamham1] 24/6/2024 09:54

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

[hamhamham1] 24/6/2024 08:16

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

[trying2trade] 23/6/2024 09:06

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.

[hamhamham1] 22/6/2024 17:58

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.

[pugugly] 22/6/2024 17:41

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.

[bookbroker] 22/6/2024 14:26

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.
