Think price may have topped out for now looking at price action. Deutsche bank have target of 490p which was hit earlier.

I can't see any news about a takeover but believe WOSG are a sitting duck down here.Breaking the trading range is significant as this is free to move now.

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.

If you look at their revenue forecast for 2025, you will see that wosg are forecasting very little growth in this year.


The revenue in 2024 was £1.538B, and they are forecasting £1.67B for this coming year. The new acquisition added £130m to revenue which was completed at the beginning of the financial year. So very modest forecast imo.


With the investment and healthy balance sheet here, I think it is highly likely wosg will beat these figures. This will be trading over 500p in 6 to 12 months imho, PE ratio will probably stay low at around 10 but earnings increase will drag the share price up.

Unless of course, a bidder emerges for wosg's cheap assets. Then all the rules change. Either way a good investment for those looking for growth rather than income.

Watches of Switzerland shares rally on reassuring update and Duffy’s cautious optimism

16 May 2024, 11:40

Sales improve in final quarter

Chief executive expresses optimism

Watches of Switzerland’s (WOSG) shares surged 11% to 374.5p on a reassuring fourth-quarter update in which chief executive Brian Duffy said the high-end watch and jewellery retailer entered the new financial year with ‘cautious optimism’.

This followed a strong finish to the year to 28 April 2024, with fourth-quarter sales proving more resilient than feared in both the UK and US amid robust demand for key brands and an improving jewellery performance.

Previous news flow from Watches of Switzerland around a slowdown in luxury retail spending had hammered the share price.

This left many fund managers with red faces since the stock had been a favourite among professional investors running mid-cap portfolios, so the fact life isn’t getting worse was enough to trigger a substantial relief rally.

AHEAD OF CONSENSUS

Fourth-quarter sales ticked up 4% year-on-year to £380 million, ahead of the £375 million analysts were calling for, with the Rolex, Breitling and Audemars Piguet purveyor delivering continued market share gains on both sides of the pond.

‘We finished the year strongly, with Q4 sales in line with guidance and ahead of consensus,’ explained the no-nonsense Duffy. ‘Particularly pleasing was the performance in the US, with sales up 14% in the period.’

Luxury watch revenue rose 5% in the final quarter with demand for key brands remaining ‘strong’.

The FTSE 250 firm also flagged a significant improvement in its jewellery performance. Jewellery sales were flat at constant currency, but this represented a sequential improvement on the 16% dip seen in the third quarter.

Watches of Switzerland, which recently announced the acquisition of Italian luxury jewellery brand Roberto Coin, also confirmed its ambition to more than double sales and adjusted EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) by the end of full year 2028.

CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM

‘We enter full-year 2025 with cautious optimism,’ stressed Duffy, with his charge guiding to full-year 2025 revenue of £1.67 billion to £1.73 billion, implying constant currency growth of 9% to 12%.

‘We have a terrific programme of showroom developments on both sides of the Atlantic with the Rolex flagship boutique on Old Bond Street, London; a 3,000 square foot Rolex boutique replacing the Mayors multi-brand in Atlanta, Georgia; and our first Rolex showroom in Texas in Plano. We are also looking forward to the Audemars Piguet Town House and the Mappin & Webb luxury jewellery showroom both in Manchester, and the expanded Patek Philippe space in Greenwich, Connecticut.’

Duffy added: ‘The inherent strength of the categories we operate in, coupled with our superior business model and retail expertise continues to set us apart.’

FY25 guidance upgraded to £1.67 - £1.73 billion = growth of 9% - 12% at constant currency. FY24 being 1.53 billion

Amazing how the Market Cap is only £897 million for a share price of £3.75, under £4 and a PE ratio = 7.3 when the average in the sector is more than 10 !!!
IMO any future offer not exceeding £2.5 billion or £10.5+ a share is a rip off.
WOSG is very cheap indeed.

At this stage the share price could easily turn down or up. There are no confirmed technical reasons for either direction. I suspect the share price will tread water until the trading update next week. That will dictate the direction. However, the fundamentals of wosg, mean that it would have to be really bad news to turn down. I am hopeful that this is the bottom, but could go either way still.

I disagree. This is great value at these prices. Sure revenue will be flat this year, however, it grew 25% last year.


Share price is down this low for that reason, but everything else looks fine. The company since floating at 270p (2019), have;

1) increased revenue from £773m to over £1500m in that time. They have virtually the same number of shares in issue (don't offer lots of free employee options or shares to fund acquisitions).


2) have no debt and a £16m net cash position, from a £95m net debt position in 2019


3) have increased net assets from £200m to £500m+ over that time.


4) have a pe expected ratio of around 9 (worst case scenario), compared with 13 in 2019. (Pe just over 6 on last years profits).

5) plenty of capex has been invested each year to fuel growth, incl £70m+ this year (with no Increase in debt)

The lack of dividends is dragging down the shares imo. But this is still a great company and good value. They are well positioned to resume resume growth when the markets pick up. I am picking up shares at these prices for a recovery. Imho the bottom is in with these shares, but let's wait and see.

Too cheap for a company with an open objective to double turnover and ebitda over the next 4 years. Even if they fail with this plan the share price should recover substantially. Share price looks like a double bottom is forming. Not confirmed yet but it could be the ideal time to buy.
