Drove past my local Woodies this afternoon, full carpark. The outlet is always busy. It was revamped earlier this year.
Hi, I don't own Grafton, I have in the past. Great review by Goodbody's this morning. Link follows via RTE Business.

If CRH's recent TU was excellent, surely GFTU's is likely to be similar?
Also, BRCK, Ibstock, MBH all recent TU's are excellent.
Similarly VP was good too.
RMI sector killing it at the mo. contrary to what masses believe.

Grafton Group
Model update – another earnings upgrade of substance
We are increasing our 2020 EPS forecast by 26% and next year’s estimate by 5%. The latter (56p) means the latest forecast is 24% higher than what was envisaged back in May. It is clear some of
Graton’s leading banners – such as Selco and Woodie’s – are emerging from the pandemic with an enhanced proposition and competitive position. This is an endorsement of Grafton’s longer-term prospects as is the burgeoning net cash build. The stock has done well recently – up over 20% in the past month – but we see no reason why it cannot kick on beyond the 900p level.
Passed the local Woodies this afternoon, with further lockdown probably on the way there was a large queue waiting to enter the shop.
I see that some people have been rewarded for their hard work, what a shame that those of us working on the coal face will not get a bonus this year.
I passed the local Woodies this afternoon, the car-park was full and there was a Q waiting the enter the shop, it has been like this since it re-opened.
Just now, form Monday Hardware shops can open, Homeware shops can't reopen, Woodies stock both Hardware & Homeware so I can't be certain how this will effect their re-opening. IKEA can't reopen.
UP-DATE: It now seems that Hardware Shops will not be allowed to open on Monday so if that is the case Woodies will not be opening.
Woodies re-opens on Monday. They will be busy.

Surprising lack of comments here considering the performance this year. Bilbo, I hope you're still in, cos you've seen a lot more than 8% since March!
thanks up 8%
