Barkby missed it's August's trading statement the increased revenue from the pub chain should have the share price a lot higher than there is was yesterday
Today's rise is promising but in no way values Barkby at the correct level. Where is the value attached to the property side ? Anybody interested in this company I would recommend going back over company announcements. I still expect a rerate when the roadside strategy gets announced and if the company opt for REIT status then that means dividends which will attract more income investors.
The Barkby Group PLC (AIM:BARK), the investment firm, soared 134% higher on Monday after indicating it is considering selling its stake in technology group Cambridge Sleep Sciences (CSS).
Producing the ground breaking SleepEngine, a digital hub to help improve sleep quality, CSS has experienced significant licensing success this year including penning deals with Sleep Sense International Limited and Massimo Consumer Audio.

Confirmation about CSS this morning. Based on this perceived valuation of circa 50 million and in excess of 100 million of property assets how on earth is this business valued at below 5 ?
I'm not a medium and neither did I expect Sky News to run an article. 50 million for CSs. Reckon Barkby is going to be worth jn excess of 100 million soon. Trouble is there is less than 20 million free float by my reckoning. Fill your boots.
Sleep technology provider tries to awaken interest from buyers
AIM-listed Barkby Group is working with advisers on a potential sale of Cambridge Sleep Sciences that could value it at around £50m, Sky News understands.
Sunday 10 September 2023 16:14, UK
A British-based sleep technology business is being put up for sale by its London-listed owner in a deal that could fetch tens of millions of pounds.
Sky News has learnt that Cambridge Sleep Sciences (CSS), which develops and licenses sound technology to help users get better sleep, is to gauge interest from prospective buyers.
City sources said its owner, Barkby Group, is working with financial advisers on a strategic review, with CSS said to be valued in the region of £50m.
CSS, which is known for its SleepHub and SleepEngine products, has licensing deals with companies including Masimo Consumer Audio, which owns audio brands such as Bowers & Wilkins, Denon and Marantz.
It has also signed an agreement with Sleep Sense International for its technology to feature in a new Smart Pillow.
Insiders said it was in negotiations to make its technology available to prominent names in the hotel and healthcare sectors which they claimed could double its value.
Barkby is understood to have decided to sell the business to focus on building a portfolio of roadside real estate assets, including drive thru restaurants, convenience retail and EV charging infrastructure.
It also owns a portfolio of pubs and a motor dealership called Centurian Automotive.
CSS is expected to attract interest from both strategic and financial buyers.
A Barkby spokesman declined to comment on Sunday.
Wetherspoons YTD up 52%
Barkby YTD down 66%
Cheap spoons is flying Boss Tim Martin just buying another £7million shares come on Mr Charles Dickson updated the shareholders
Cambridge will be sold. I'm expecting an announcement that Maldon has been completed and is an asset on the balance sheet. Also that the Plough sale has gone through as it is no longer on the website.
At March they had in excess of 100 million in relation to their Roadside strategy. What are they holding now ?
An announcement could come any day that they are now a REIT. The bad news is all priced in but as yet no good. Workshop sale as an example.
I expect a rerate to AIM admission prices when they announce the restructure is complete. It may even be higher with institutional backing.
Looking forward to the update.
The focus is not pubs, I think they are now down to 6 sites. It is property and CSS. I follow Julian Stone on LinkedIn, he is the CEO of CSS. This growing very quickly in a massive market, I follow Julian Stone on LinkedIn and from the posts I can see they are wining deals with household names. I would not be surprised if Barkby exit the remaining pubs, such a tough sector. This is a buy, the shares are undervalued.
Morgan Stanley are tipping up pub group Whitbread saying

Mitchells & Butlers (M&B) share price soared over five per cent this morning, as the pub and restaurant chain revealed a 9.7 per cent rise in revenues in the third quarter.
The All Bar One owner was bolstered by a record breaking Fathers Day in June, with like-for-like sales in food and drink during the quarter up 11.6 per cent and 7.4 per cent respectively.
Mitchells & Butlers PLC (LSE:MAB) shares frothed up 7% to a year's high of 230p after the pub group reported improving sales growth and said cost inflation is "starting to abate".
Like-for-like sales were up 8.9% for the year to date, having improved to 9.7% in the third quarter from 8.5% in the first half
July 26 (Reuters) - Pub group Marston's (MARS.L) on Wednesday reported higher like-for-like sales thanks to demand for premium lagers and signature burgers during hot weather in Britain, driving its shares up 5%.
The Wolverhampton-based pub chain, which has several beer gardens, posted a 10.9% rise in sales for 16 weeks ended July 22 from a year ago.
When JD Wetherspoon PLC (LSE:JDW) provides a pre-close trading update on Wednesday 12 July investors will be keen to find out whether any of the soaring costs stunting the industry are abating.
Food and drink prices have remained stubbornly high since the cost-of-living crisis struck more than a year ago.
Prices for hospitality operators lifted by 21.6% year-on-year in May, according to the CGA’s food service price index.
High energy bills and an increase in the national minimum living wage could also play a role in dampening operations.
Despite these headwinds, the pub operator appears confident in reaching record sales for the year.
When reporting third-quarter results the company said a swarm of returning punters post-covid helped boost revenues and it expected profits to be towards the top of the end of market expectations.
Additionally, eccentric boss Tim Martin is likely to make comments on the industry, with his outspoken views previously criticising decisions by the government relating to taxation on alcohol.
In an interview with LBC, he said the fact some brewers had started weakening beer to achieve a tax break was a “crazy move”.
Wetherspoon shares are trading more than 40% higher in 2023 at around 650p.
Young & Co’s Brewery provided a cheery update to investors this morning as the pub operator revealed a 8.3 per cent lift in revenues in the first thirteen weeks of the year
