lefrene chill.

I have it on good authority everything is looking grand, as long as the demented government don't close the economy again. Super well positioned.

We do have a seller for some reason, but nothing against the company fundamentals

Volvo, lets hope they get it right, running a bunch of van drivers is very different from running a bunch of artic drivers. (on the face of it you wouldn't think so, but it is)

WIN have just been tipped in today's Evening Standard as a stock to benefit from the online shopping boom.....



"Wincanton

After you’ve clicked for your online order, someone has to deliver it to you. Wincanton runs the lorries and vans that will get them from the warehouse to your door.

Its share price crashed badly during Covid because it has big businesses trucking petrol and building materials around the country. At a time when construction sites were closed and nobody was allowed to drive anywhere, that wasn’t good for business.

But its online delivery work for shops was trading strongly, particularly once social distancing restrictions were lifted to allow its two-men-and-a-van operations to resume delivering furniture and other goods for customers like Ikea and M&S.

Wincanton also runs warehouses for big companies’ online logistics, recently winning a contract to run one of these “dark stores” for Waitrose

It’s also working smarter to help smaller online businesses distribute out of spare space in its warehouses – a potentially big market ahead.

The shares might take a while to recover, particularly as it had to axe the dividend this year, disappointing shareholders who have seen numerous struggles at the business over the years.

However, with previous problems mainly fixed, Wincanton looks like a decent long-term bet."

The writer concludes:

"For the best value growth, my money would be on Wincanton and Tritax Big Box."

Hello realisation that logistics could about to be the hot topic as more people rely on deliveries....and WIN is currently dirt cheap on any measurement.

First lockdown Wincanton panicked, much like the rest of the country.

What followed is the fact that logistcs would take the lead as everything moves online and needs warehousing and delivering etc.

Wincanton are hard at recruitment right now.

For once I agree with Owenski ;)
And I would have thought the case for WIN will only become stronger as second lockdown approaches. It also get a Ben Grahame 'Deep Value' rating on STOCKO, but the chart is what really catches my eye. Short term target, 2.60.

Looking like it wants to do 2 quid, reckon selling will recede at some point and 2 quid will break.

mikedon1946, I agree that how things currently are it would be difficult to make it worthwhile. I envisage systems that 'talk' to each other, so that the parcel operation knows the addresses that the food operation is going to later in the day. The parcel operation could separate out any parcels for those addresses and drop them round at the food distribution site, for the drivers to triage them into their food round. Parcel trunking is done over night, but the food vans seem to be out and about from 9am to 9pm. It might not currently be worth the candle, but merging parcels and mail with food rounds, might become viable in the future.

Thanks for the link netcurtains, a pity it did not work out as hoped, the public is a lazy and picky creature.

"milk and more"

It was designed to save the daily Pint delivery

But it did not suceded, but failed not many milkmen left now.

The problem with the idea of delivering Parcels with food deliveries is that parcel are infrequent, grocery deliveries are timed to suit the customers, only a few would coincide.

I could see a point in time where a local parcel depot interconnected electronically with a food distributor could assemble a batch of parcels that match a food delivery round. ie, the system knows what premises the food van will be visiting, and separates those parcels into a batch for the food van to collect before it begins it's round.

Just about impossible to do now, but in a few years it might become roboticaly viable?

A bit like the milkman also delivering bread, which I recall as a child.

"it might be possible to merge some parcel deliveries in with the groceries in a few years as technology improves?"

Don't think so, Win work for clients and do a good job knowing where they stand, who would want to join the very competitive Parcel deliver sector, you may as well say compete with Deliveroo

You mean get Goldman Sachs boys on your team :¬) But if WIN prove adept at the grocery home delivery game and don't lose money, then it's another arrow in their quiver. Who knows, it might be possible to merge some parcel deliveries in with the groceries in a few years as technology improves?

After Ocado, Waitrose are playing at it, and its costly.

Get the big boys WIN to invest in people and warehouse's and deliveries and bingo.

Wincanton source..... company are ideally position and well funded.

VOLVO - Re: WINs deliveries:

John Lewis says this:
Waitrose has seen a strong pick-up in demand since the end of our relationship with Ocado on 1 September. Waitrose.com orders were up 9% in the first week. Waitrose.com is now a £1bn annualised business and we will further expand capacity by around 50% to 250,000 orders a week.


Looks like WINs are playing a blinder at John Lewis!!!!

eg 50% EXPANSION.....

From investopia:
What Is an ETF?
An exchange traded fund (ETF) is a type of security that involves a collection of securities—such as stocks—that often tracks an underlying index, although they can invest in any number of INDUSTRY SECTORS or use various strategies. ETFs are in many ways similar to mutual funds; however, they are listed on exchanges and ETF shares trade throughout the day just like ordinary stock.

If WINs are lumped in with airlines, airports and ports (our SUB sector) then its no wonder we're struggling to get past 200... WINs perhaps should consider updating its SUB sector to match either Clipper or Royal Mail or DX.

Sectors can be very broad, eg, the construction sector could be terraced houses or office blocks, but the end customer will be different, and profitability is down to the demand for the product, and the amount of competition producing the same/similar product.

On the face of it a businesses operating warehouses and heavy vehicles might appear much the same, but as in RMG versus WIN, one has a universally known brand and operates a person to person service, the other takes on contracts to operate from other people's buildings, and often operate other peoples vehicles, and is very much a business to business operation. WIN is at least in a sector where demand will be steady, and Brexit might lead to DHL becoming non-grata? Thus more openings for WIN. (I have had a falling out with DHL in the past)

lefrene: There is such a thing as "sector" trading. It is a thing. So one has to look at the sector you're in (even if you dont like the companies that share sector).
In fact some have noticed that firms share price can change DRAMATICALLY if they change sector...

Clipper is in SUB sector "Industrial Suppliers" - sector "Industrial Support services"

Wincanton is in SUB sector "Transportation Services" - sector "Industrial Transportation"

Royal Mail is in SUB sector "Delivery Services" - sector "Industrial Transportation"

the other firm in "Delivery Services" is DX plc - its gone up 300% since march.

If you want a list of firms that are in WINs "Transportation Services" its not good reading (eg loads of aviation and ports)...If anyone buys or sells by SUB SECTOR then .......

netcurtains, there's no comparison in anyway between Wincanton and RMG, you're comparing apples to pears. I do know though that Wincanton is far more efficiently run than RMG, but expecting WIN to trace the same price movements as RMG is not going to happen.

Royal Mail is doing well today....... Its like investors go through the alphabet and get bored by the time they reach the Ws.
