Despite the headline the article is generally positive about the future the following are some snippets but the whole article can be accessed from the link above.

"Wincanton profits tumble 30% after one-off costs and some of the logistics firm's clients insourcing to cut costs"

"Despite the statutory loss, Wincanton rewarded investors with a 10 per cent hike to dividend, or a full-year payout of 13.2p per share."

Analysts at Peel Hunt said the results were slightly ahead of their forecasts and represented an 'excellent' year for the group.

'This was a challenging year, with lower customer volumes impacting 2H and inflationary pressures,' they said.

'However, these were successfully managed with major customer wins across the group’s four sectors as well as strategic investments in robotics and automation.'"

Investors in Wincanton headed for the exit yesterday after the logistics group warned of materially lower profits in 2024 as it lost a big British government contract. The company said HM Revenue & Customs had decided to move to Sodexo, the French multinational, by June 2023 for the provision of logistics services to support UK customs at inland border facilities.

https://www.fool.co.uk/2022/02/17/a-cheap-dividend-growth-stock-id-invest-500-in-today/A cheap dividend growth stock I'd invest £500 in today!Royston Wild | Thursday, 17th February, 2022 | More on: WINShopping cart with boxes labelled REITs, ETFs, Bonds, Stocks Image source: Getty Images.I'm searching for the best cheap stocks to buy for my shares portfolio in 2022. There are many top low-cost British stocks for me to choose from but this one has really caught my eye. I think it could deliver striking profits and dividend growth over the medium-to-long term.Earnings are tipped to soarCommercial transport business Wincanton faces some significant headwinds in the near term as fuel costs rise. Petrol and diesel prices in the UK have just hit record highs and they could keep soaring too as oil supply shortages could persist for some time.As a long-term investor I'm still thinking of buying Wincanton today however. City analysts believe the business should grow earnings 18% in this fiscal year (to March) and by mid-to-high single digits in the following two years too. These predictions reflect expectations of rising demand for logistics services as the economy bounces back and the continued support led by e-commerce growth.A cheap stock for the e-commerce boomIn fact, it's my opinion that the threat posed by increasing fuel costs are baked into Wincanton's low share price. At 385p per share, the transport titan trades on a forward P/E ratio of just 9.4 times.I'm actually encouraged by the small-cap's ability to thrive despite the sharp rise in fuel prices that dates back to last summer. Indeed, Wincanton actually raised its full-year profit forecasts last month, thanks to strong trading across all of its divisions.I'm particularly impressed by Wincanton's ability to exploit the online shopping boom. And I think this could be the catalyst for strong long-term sales growth. Revenues at its Digital and eFulfilment division leapt 51% in the three months to December, latest financials showed.Wincanton bought supply chain business Cygnia last autumn for £23.9m to boost its exposure to the e-commerce revolution. But even without the contribution of the new unit, group sales still soared in the third quarter (rising 22% year-on-year).Rapid dividend growthWincanton's not just a great buy from a growth perspective, however. I'm also thinking of buying the logistics business because of the bright outlook for its dividends. City forecasters think last year's total payout will rise 16% to 12.03p per share in the current period. This creates a handy 3% dividend yield.Dividends are tipped to continue rising strongly in the medium term as well. Full-year dividends of 13.57p and 14.3p per share are predicted for financial 2023 and 2024 respectively. Consequently, the yield rises to 3.4% and 3.6% for these years.Finally, I also like Wincanton as an income share because current dividend projections seem pretty secure, based on expected profits. Those dividends the City anticipates are covered around 3 times by anticipated earnings. This figure is well above the widely-regarded security benchmark of 2 times.I believe Wincanton offers brilliant growth and income potential right now. And at current prices I think it could be too cheap for me to miss.

Not just PE, also a possible foreign interloper. This company is in a key industry with reasonable barriers to entry (in my view most importantly) well run and with great prospects. And the price is hardly an issue, especially if you are a foreign investor looking at a weak pound and a relatively weak UK stock market...

I assume so too.....some of the negativity and gloom mongers seem to have given up, whilst I continue to buy.....do investors honestly think this situation will not be addressed and remedied.....with a lot of the costs of the same already factored into the steep retrace.Each to their own, but for me I am going all Warren Buffett here......

(Bloomberg) -- Wincanton sinks as much as 10%, the most since May 2020, after the U.K. logistics company acknowledged sector-wide pressures on driver availability.

Liberum’s Gerald Khoo (buy) says the fall is mainly a reversal of yesterday’s rise; investors who hoped for another increase in earnings estimates were disappointed when these didn’t come through in today’s trading update
Says however “an increase today was always pretty unlikely with less than seven weeks elapsed since the last increase in forecasts after the FY results on 20 May”
Says in a note that Wincanton better positioned than most of the industry to mitigate driver availability challenges
Shore Capital analyst Peter Ashworth notes Wincanton taking steps to address driver shortage, with increased recruitment of permanent colleagues and acceleration of training programs
Sees update as positive, and continuation of recovery by group in 2H and outperformance likely over medium term
Stocks is down 8.43% to 431p at 10:41 a.m. in London; up 68% YTD
NOTE: Stock has 5 buys, no holds and no sells; avg. PT 516.2p: Bloomberg data
NOTE: Yesterday, Wincanton Jumps to Highest in Six Weeks as FTSE 100 Declines

This is an exciting time for Wincanton. Evolving our brand identity for now and the future, is another step in our growth ambitions to attract customers, investors and new colleagues, but also ensure we continue to be a key partner for some of Britain's biggest brands and public bodies.

rivaldo, the Wincanton website is offering a range of new vacancies, not just drivers and warehouse, but totally new management positions, and plenty of them.

The company is rocking and is going to state this on the 20th.

Imo, this year Wincanton's share price will go on and on 600p, 700p, 800p as the markets and investors wake up to their new position in modern day post pandemic uk logistics

lefrene: So you're saying WINs going up because hard brexit is now MORE likely? I think you're wrong. I think most investors are like me - NAIVE - and think if a trade deal then its good for Lorries...
A great investor once told me "never over think your investments because the market is very very basic in its opinion - it cant do clever"
