Greggs interim results
Does anyone know why the stock dropped today?!
The only news I saw was related to some service ban to customers with headphones in south London.
Deutsch bank have downgraded the share as they feel the hike in employer ni will have a bigger impact on the leisure sector.
Thank you! I feel like this is a overreaction. Their cash flow has not been growing as much as before, but revenues are growing nicely. They have invested quite a lot this last couple of years in infrastructure and should be getting their returns in the coming years.
Time will tell.
Are we going to talk about the 20% drop in SP in the last two days
My fair value is around £25, but at the moment I have other opportunities to invest.
If the price drops further, I will buy a few shares.
Like-for-like growth only about 2.5%, which is quite low IMO. However there’s still room to grow by opening new shops, as can be seen from the latest trading update.
