Sadly still a fair bit off that 250p price. I suppose that it was demerged at a bit of a peak in the sector. Travis Perkins was about £15.50 at that time and is now worth just over half that. It's current price is about the same as 20 yrs ago, so not in a good place either.

At this rate they couold reach the IPO price.

Would be nice to get back on track to the 2yr ago forecast share price target for here and Travis Perkins...



"WIX stock is a ‘buy’ based on the views of five analysts whose consensus view is the price could rise by 78% to 354p over the next 12 months, according to MarketBeat.

The highest price target is 450p, while the most pessimistic suggest it could be as low as 280p. However, even this would be 40% higher than the current 199p level.

Travis Perkins is also rated a ‘buy’ on MarketBeat, based on the views of 13 analysts who believe the stock will rise 50% to £18.79 over the coming year.

The price targets suggested range from £15.45 at the lowest end to £21 at the top."

Bought in today, good price IMO, was either going to at 150p pre ex-divi, or wait until at least 7p below that.
So today, I am in.
I like the company.

Maybe one day, market cap will be up here again...

"BUILDERS' merchant Travis Perkins has snapped up DIY retail chain Wickes in a £950m deal that will safeguard the future of the company's 6,300-strong workforce. Travis Perkins will have 912 stores following the tie-up, adding the 172 Wickes outlets to its existing 740 depots."

Although that was 20 yrs ago.
Could be worth more now ?

Liberum admits buying Wickes was the wrong call


Liberum has downgraded Wickes (WIX) as it admits buying the stock since the demerger was wrong.

Analyst Adam Tomlinson downgraded his recommendation from ‘buy’ to ‘hold’ but kept the target price of 165p in place on the Citywire Elite Companies plus-rated trade and DIY supplies retailer, which fell 1.8% to 147.3p on Tuesday.

There were ‘no surprises’ according to Tomlinson in the full-year 2023 results which was ‘a solid outcome’ and the acquisition of a small energy solution business was a ‘step in the right direction but profit margins are thin in the solar panels space’.

‘This deal together with the resumption of the share buyback are sensible uses of cash,’ said Tomlinson. ‘

‘On trading, it is tough and we expect a tough start to the year and with our bottom-of-the-range numbers, we leave these unchanged for now.’

Tomlinson said he prefers Victorian Plumbing in this space thanks to the ‘numerous catalysts’ on offer.

‘We have been buyers of Wickes since demerger and acknowledge this has been the wrong call,’ he said.

‘So until positive catalysts become visible, we cautiously move Wickes to a “hold” and recommend a switch to Victorian Plumbing, the leading bathroom specialist in the UK, where growth rates and margins are far superior.’

Panmure downgrades Wickes profit guidance due to cost pressures


Wickes Group PLC (LSE:WIX) “continues to demonstrate an ability to take market share in its Local Trade and DIY verticals”, but persistent cost pressures have forced analysts at Panmure Gordon to downwardly revise the home improvement retailer’s profit guidance for the year ahead.

Panmure now expects Wickes to finish with £43.6 million in profit before tax, down from prior guidance of £47 million.

It follows Wickes’ annual results call on Tuesday when the group posted flat revenues and a marginal increase in PBT.

Panmure’s forecasts, however, do not capture the proposed acquisition of Solar Fast announced today.

“Wickes now trades more in line with the non-food retail sector and offers a 7.3% dividend yield. We believe its operational gearing presents an opportunity to play consumer demand recovery over the course of the year,” said Panmure analysts.

They did well with their share buy back programme average price of 135.5p with almost 10 million shares cancelled. They've still got another 12.5 million pounds left to buy back even more shares which is expected to commence soon after their results

Have been previously invested in Wickes was looking again but the fall of in sales and subsequent fall in share price of the house builders such as Taylor wimpey Barrat developments and persimminon has told me to hold back for the time being

The ongoing share buyback has disguised what could be a fall in the share price but as is not widely traded covers a multitude of sins

Will continue to wait and watch as expecting contraction of shares across the board as the fear factor creeps back in

Take care and stay solvent

Tricky times ahead

It looks like trading is doing all right.

Given the low share price, the share buybacks, using cash on the balance sheet, was an excellent idea. It also should make the dividend payout more affordable, although reducing the dividend in favour of more buybacks and investment in the business would also have been a good idea. They were probably afraid that reducing the dividend would cause another fall in the share price.

I'm pleased with my investment here, made at the end of last year.
