Next set of results will be an even brighter future with earnings per share now profitable at 3.1 pence per share as opposed to last years (14.6) pence loss per share.
Happy to invest further now there is growth.
Coming out of lockdown helping here for 2022 over 2021 H1.. Next set of results will be :-
Revenue £370m £55m
Pub operating profit/(loss) £46m £(59)m
Loss from associates £(2)m £(21)m
Profit/(loss) before tax £26m £(106)m
Earnings/(loss) per share 3.1 pence (14.6) pence
This refers to the latest results when the company helpfully mention that the NAV have improved 7p but then fails to state clearly what they were originally.
The theory is rising inflation will result in less people going out to pubs, less people buying bottles of beer in the supermarket. The reality is rising inflation will do little or nothing to stop people drinking at home and going out to pubs. The supermarkets continue to see huge quantities of alcohol sold each year, despite the pandemic, despite inflation. And go to any town or city centre on a Weds, Thurs, Fri or Saturday evening and it's chock full of people out partying, pubbing and clubbing and having a good time. Pub stocks are down, but the low share price doesn't reflect the popularity of the pubs or their products - I don't think the market is valuing the pub chains very accurately right now. From an investors perspective, that spells opportunity.
Anybody hazard a guess on what the revised NAV is?
And it will be cheaper tomorrow.
Total
Why not just post Marstons are cheap today, cheaper than yesterday ?
Superdischarger
What a pleasure to see your return to this board as the great contra indicator with a poor memory of your previous posts, the only thing missing from you are your previous nocturnal ramblings which were presumably the alcohol fuelled thoughts from a Tesla in the wee hours.
Turnover looks great, hopefully we can start seeing some dividends 2023.
Didn't think that was too bad an RNS
Should see the the volume pick up around 3pm.
Supercharger - you make valid points. fingers crossed for tomorrow.
Total - I am actually expecting some very good results and will be surprised if they are not based on us coming out of lockdown and when comparing to other entertainment stocks such as Whitbread and Compass, and well lets face it even Greggs are seeing a pick up. The funny thing is when people are down they go for a beer to make themselves feel better. I remember Wetherspoons saying that when the banking redundancies took place beer sales went up! I also seem to remember that one pub would have all those being paid off and another with all those being kept on! Should be interesting tomorrow however for the results and if we actually get another other interesting news!
I think tomorrows outcome will be good, given that everyone who wanted to sell would of by today. Therefore, tomorrow should be a buying day. Anyone who sees the opportunity should be taking the advantage of it being this price before its to late.
If results are better which lets face it judging by its peers they should be improving, then this share price looks very good value and we should see a step up very soon..
I have been away from this board from some time and yet when I come back I see the same comments from the negative few. Well lets hope for those with a more positive mind set we can all have a pleasant surprise tomorrow.
No UnFairtrader my Tesla is not being driven by anyone else your mind appears to be so confused as usual and you are mixing me up with someone else.
In fact I am still using my old Rusty Shogun that never lets me down, ha,ha, even in a power cut! Talking of which I see Marstons are moving towards aero emissions -shame my Shogun doesn't have the cheaper road tax -never mind! Good luck to those with a more positive mindset for tomorrow - fingers crossed!
Seems to be really quiet given the results are tomorrow. What's peoples thought on tomorrow's out come?
Sorry my fault,the diary on lse says the 17th,just looked at the halifax and they say 18th,,,,,i wondered why nothing was released,,,
Marstons and M&B due to report tomorrow.
We could do with some good news today and the Interim results are due,are they holding the results back because they are bad or are they hoping we will forget and keep quiet ??
Fairdealer. oh no you have court me out lol. Your statement means nothing in regards to my investment nor how long I have held it. Why are you so concerned about my place here? do you not have anything else to do.
Thanks for the info though, and helping the SP to drop.
Totaltrades lets examine the facts. You have been a member less than a month and decide to post here now, only a day or so away from Accounts being released. Posting out of date and unbalanced Broker reports.
So, yes, for accuracy I will point the finger as did Jed. If you are invested in Mars as you seem to suggest, why as it taken so long to give the BB the benefit of your knowledge. Do you know how many Pubs/Motels Marstons manage in Wales?
Information regarding this share has been well aired as your research will have discovered. Suggest you take the time and do some reading, it will grow your knowledge considerably.
Hope you are loading up with the stock and prepared to wait for the predicted £1+
By the way is Mars now listed on Wall Street as some appear to think?
Do you still have the Tesla?
Have a good day
Fairdealer20 - Now your telling me what Trader I am Lol. Just because you haven't seen me post a comment prior, how do you know how long my investment has been.
Do you have nothing better to do other that point the finger.
For the sake of this platform just stick to the information of the Share and its opportunity.
Totaltrades, your emergence here a day or 2 before Accounts are declared speaks volumes. A common ploy used by traders, here today gone tomorrow merchants, who have no real interest in the long term growth of a company.
As stated earlier, please read my posts here. I want to see sound growth and not an artificial jack-up of the SP to suit short term strategies.
It has been a long time since Mars were at 120p and then when a good dividend was being paid and we totally owned a reputable Brewery. We still own a share of a brewery (40%) but do not get account figures for CMBC, maybe that will be addressed this week? Can only hope.
Figures declared this week, will confirm which Broker is correct.
Deutsche bank rating was to sell but the consensus is to hold with a target of £1.01
One equities research analyst has rated the stock with a sell rating, three have given a hold rating and five have given a buy rating to the company’s stock. Based on data from MarketBeat.com, Marston’s presently has a consensus rating of “Hold” and an average target price of GBX 101.43 ($1.25).

Fairdealer - Are you trying to get the share price down? what is your motive here.
Totlatrades, I suggest you take the trouble and check my posts on the board.
You should follow your own advice and properly research the subject you are trying to promote. The harm information is trying to give an old information without the balance of the latest ( last week) Deutche Bank review, which for the sake of balance recommends Sell.
Putting right a poster who clearly has done NO research classes me as a Warrior in you mind, so be it.
My research and knowledge of Mars is pretty good. You think otherwise. Please tell us how many Pubs/Hostelries Marstons manage in Wales?
Fairdealer20, Did not know there was harm in putting up some information.
I feel sorry for the fact you felt the need to jump to keyboard warrior mode and dish out insults. Maybe you should spend sometime researching and then you wouldn't have to take your fail out on platforms like this.
This is an information platform!
