Should push up towards 20.00 now

[leedslad001] 20/1/2021 09:48

Excellent all looking good for future earnings

[gswredland] 20/1/2021 07:26

Yes reassuring.

[this_is_me] 20/1/2021 07:18

A better than expected trading update. Confirmation that the company has managed the problems caused by governments' responses to the virus really well. Looking good for the future when things are allowed to return to near normal.

a nice little earner,
since the onset of C19 sales of consumer "self help books"
has now exceeded £31ml, which is 50% increase on all
UK book retailers, SMWH just need plug this
section a lot better, their out of town retail sites have
window areas, totally wasted, nai

Nice leg up

[leedslad001] 08/1/2021 13:04

3 vaccines now end in sight. All good news for smiths.

Due to enormous margins this lot either make huge profits or gargantuan profits in normal times.

Normal times and service to be resumed shortly..

[this_is_me] 03/12/2020 16:59

Another booster rocket kicks in.

[leedslad001] 03/12/2020 08:35

Won't take long here to get back to pre Covid levels everyone wanting to go shopping and on holiday so positive on all areas

[weemonkey] 03/12/2020 08:30

Agree not much resistance till £20

The recovery story is easy to work out here.

The kicker: SMWH was, is and will continue to be a fantastic business.

COVID allowed investors to get in on the cheap

[leedslad001] 01/12/2020 17:11

Clear sky to 20.00

[undervaluedassets] 17/11/2020 15:59

little pullback today. Nothing in markets moves in a straight line.

[this_is_me] 16/11/2020 16:46

Up 50% this month and looking like it will go much higher.

[undervaluedassets] 16/11/2020 09:51

Nice write up in Questor in the telegraph.

Mirrors my thoughts exactly..

We have a way to go on this.

While the headline loss was £68m the reported loss was a whopping £239m, including impairments of £135m and restructuring costs of £25m.

Although according to Investor's Champion WH Smith could be another one with big recovery potential, but tough to get the timing right.

[undervaluedassets] 12/11/2020 08:42

I call those results a result.

No moving parts to this business. Unlike airlines no expensive infrastructure to maintain. Plus apart from a few sandwiches, the stock does not go off.

Post vaccine the company just needs to blow a bit of dust off the shelves, restaff, and get back to the business of selling slightly overpriced stuff in niche locations where customers have no other options.

Set to be massive vaccine beneficiary

[this_is_me] 12/11/2020 07:49

The High Street operation was almost back to normal in October. That was much better than I expected. The travel numbers are, unsurprisingly, not good and it might take until next summer before they recover to near normal.

[undervaluedassets] 09/11/2020 20:39

Got insanely cheap due to COVID and shorters.

Filled my boots today and now ready for the long recovery.

Don't care if it takes 6 months or 6 years.

Once in lifetime opp today. I hope everyone on this board took full advantage

[mike24] 18/10/2020 12:28

a nice little earner, if smiths can maintain full shelfs
of 25quid diy legal packs, legal fees for probate which can cost
A LOT per letter depending how complex estate is, which
is made a lot simpler downloading correct forms listed in smwh pack
even if you use a solicitor, ie guidance on, prop bank a/c, shares
vehicles bonds life insurance pensions art jewellery iht etc etc
valuing liabilities, there is a will/there is no will,

9/11 cracking rise today,
maybe a few more shorts squeezed tomorrow
11/11 time to move on lots of undervalued shares out their, but...

in the US, some hospitals using covid (without symptons ) positive staff
back to work shows how bad their economy might get hit, plus the prolonged
handover to Democrats going to do damage

Great news today about PMO merger for all Falkland companies.

Well worth tucking a few away imho


ATB and GL whatever you decide

[joshuam] 03/9/2020 21:02

Way this is ticking up think it might have further to go especially after today

[goliard] 03/9/2020 19:14

Out at 1246p. Waiting to see what Triple Witching brings this month.

[goliard] 26/8/2020 08:37

And a strong rise this morning. Looking good for a re rating.

[goliard] 12/8/2020 18:52

New significant shareholder with Causeway at 5%. Can't help hoping this is low enough to be a bid target.
