My 720 limit buy was triggered toady. Great price. Tried to get some more (below 720) later but never managed it. Nice and busy in my local JDW on Tuesday (weather was great though). I agree with posters that note prices are being raised (slowly). Still miles cheaper than the other places that the supreme commander wants to go to. You know JDW is the only place that I don't look at the prices when ordering food cause its miles cheaper than the competition. (and blummin tasty too)...

I would like to vouch for EssentialInvestor.
EI & I have discussed the pub sector on several threads for a couple of years.
However, I am not convinced Ryanair and Whitbread indicate consumer spending is under pressure".
Ryanair and Whitbread are both seen as low cost, good value businesses and operate dynamic pricing policies. Strong demand post covid allowed both to increase prices and margins.
As demand returns to normal levels, prices have softened. Both companies have also been increasing their capacity.

JDW are in a sector where competition has been closing. JDW have kept prices very competitive during the cost of living crisis at the expense of profits. JDW has the capacity to increase margins and still offer very good value as sentiment improves.

I also currently hold no position in JDW

I check short interest, I'm not short either WTB or JDW.

WTB shares are down by that % YTD,
it's a factual statement. MW also increased their short (until recently) as the share price drifted lower.

Best to leave emotion out of investments.

As I have said before, JDW prioritizes JDW staff over shareholders.

Last RNS:
"Since 2007, £504 million has been paid to employees in free shares and bonuses (approximately 55% of company profits)."

Birmingham airport has a £5 fee to drop you off outside the terminal or a free drop-off point which is a 5-minute walk from the terminal.
JDW charged me £20+ for a pint, fish and chips at Birmingham Airport when in my local it costs £10.
It is better to eat locally, take a taxi from the local JDW, and walk 5 minutes to the terminal.

I still hold to my view that the share price will breach £9 in the coming months. I have assumed in my workings that the next statement (10/7) will not have any gotcha's but consider this a remote possibility. Just look at the weather now, this will translate into good business for the pub trade and JDW just seems busier and busier. Now if Stonegate was to report no news on refinancing the slug of loans that need to be 'sorted' for 2025 in their annuals circa end Sept then imo JDW will breach £10. I do have a remote hope for a retrace in the share price prior to 10th July as I would not mind holding a few more...

Admit to buying a shed load on Friday.... I just cannot see the share price not getting back into the £8+ range sometime in the coming months. I did a quick list of reasons to buy before diving in.... I cannot see any major gotcha's in the medium term.

- Interest rates on the way down soon .... ++ for leveraged JDW
- Energy price contract up for renewal Sept 24...... +++ should save lots ££
- TM quoted on Sky that with what he (we) knew he expected ++ share price raise
- Margin will probably increase due to price uplift early Feb. I reckon now circa 8%
- Total sales this year on track for £2 Billion
- Operating profit on track for £150M+ this year (all time record)
- TM holds lots of shares 25% +++
- Continued buybacks a possibility (assuming share price stays at this level)
- That 2% price increase = 40% increase as per above youtube
- Workforce has a stake in the company
- Most importantly their pubs are rammed at weekend and busy mid-week..

What is there not to like about this share.... sure a 5% increase in sales over past 7 weeks may have disappointed but this will increase ... and 5% of £2 Billion is quite a lot.....

After all that, bet they go south tomorrow.... :-)... If they do I am up for quite a few more at the end of the trading day. If not then on my hands I will sit.

EI, I've not had a chance to look at the JDW results with a clear mind after the shock of ACRL this morning.
I would say Tim and his friends run JDW to their own tune. JDW have kept a lid on the price rises and have room to increase prices, almost at will, as they are the cheapest by far in the industry

"A 2% price increase at the till has a 40% drop through to profits"
Time 16:40

I do not know how accurate that 2% number is but IMO JDW have room to push prices up as inflation drops, boosting margins to historical levels.
I don't hold JDW at the moment but may jump back in if JDW start the share buyback again. NLW increase is a negative headwind across the whole service sector so JDW may drift lower still in the short term.
Euro 24 in the summer should also boost interest.

Reckon we will know the business done over this coming weekend come next Friday. I say that as all my (old) mates know about the £2.99 Guiness offer and are not holders. I just wonder if a mention of a dividend will be made on the 22nd. Given the buybacks has been on hold of late and with the budget helping, and price increases of late then you never know. I still have in my mind the 2% price increase equating to 40% extra profits such are the numbers with this business. I did half expect for the share price to touch £7.30 and had funds awaiting the bots pushing it down to this level. Parked these monies in oilers for the moment and still ready to add if the share price goes down again. On balance I would anticipate w/e 29/3 should see the share price around the £8.30 level..... It's just too good a company and my target is much higher than the current level.... Great beer and food to add.... What's not to like about JDW.

Seems a national offer excluding airport's...... subject to availability though. I suspect the trick is to get the ordering of barrels of Guiness right as at that price they will be very very very busy. The staff will be run off their feet that weekend, though lots of new customers will be introduced to JDW so long term it will be a winner. Reckon the opposition will be be selling Guinness twice or more of what JDW price point is. Great move and JDW have the muscle / leverage to make this work.... great publicity for the brand.

I’d far rather they paid me a decent dividend than engage in yet another round of buy-backs. The last sustained programme of buy-backs was obviously not a great success, with millions of shares bought back at a double-digit share price and subsequent essential share placings at much lower prices. While the downward lurch in the share price from Covid cannot have been foreseen, JDW is now a mature company whose best days of growth - I.e. opening of new pubs - are behind it. So, I would much prefer they employed surplus cash - I hope they are not taking on further debt to finance the buy-backs! - and finally reward shareholders with a decent wedge. They are very generous to staff with good bonuses and to customers with ultra-low prices. It’s time to be generous to shareholders too.
