Much more to come??? The trading statement said their markets are stagnating. Due to high interest rates and reduced spending..All of next year trading will remain the same and not materially improve according to CEO.
How can MMs justify this huge drop…an utter disgrace! Be ashamed….,,
The only interim results are excellent with much more to come from this well run and profitable company….
Absolutely shocking…the results are excellent and record numbers in many key measures in a really tough climate. The MMS have got the pricing absolutely wrong. So many purchases to get it up to 70p and they rip the heart out of SP based on what? Fundamentals are excellent all considered. It will rebound…..
Anyone know the reason for the 13% drop today on interim results?

I’ve got boards where I’m usually the only poster, but it does make us wrong!
Lords is a solid, grounded, expanding company and I can see it doubling from here, as per the forecasts. It can take 6 months, maybe 12 months, but that’s plenty upside for me.

Records performance again with projected full year of £450mn revenue and £27mn profits. In really tight economic backdrop these results are fantastic an testament to a strong mane mr t team and dedicated staff…..
Fabulous company….
Interims due tomorrow and I expect these to be on track…. I also foresee another another RNS today… the company is very well positioned to outperform in difficult economic times and an interim dividend of 0.7p is hopefully on the cards…..
Price target is 120p

The company has been very selective in partnering and aligning new businesses that are easily integrate-able with their mature businesses. The synergies are key for achieving and maximising bottom line impact and with a strong management team and fully engaged staff, results will be stronger.
Excellence in service and product offerings have been suitably diversified to ensure consistency of cross sales diversification which will bear fruit.
Exciting times and major opportunities for increasing marketing share through organic growth alongside acquisitions and strategic partnering. Good costs management is at the heart of this business and it won’t be long before their revenues are growing 10-15% yr on yr so shareholders can expect growth in valuation and distributions. All so very positive.
It’s likely the M&A announcement last Friday is just one of half a dozen they’re working on. This company has so much potential is is going to be a major player idc……
Acquisitions have been key to boost distribution diversification and the recent one announced last Friday provides an additional 5 outlets for this. With £1m profits pa on this timber company alone, the purchase price of £2.3mn is excellent business. Management are diligent and the interim results may be mixed but the group’s resistance and green drive in its products will maintain the revenue and grow profits through tight costs control, better margins with improved employees incentives driving the business forward (motivational rewards). This week interims will be solid so bag these as the full year they will deliver stronger results in a very challenging negative macro economic environment. 77p /79p by the end of the coming week…and then onto 90p hopefully in the run up to the year end……
I have followed Lords even before their IPO and it has been no surprise how they have progressed. They maintain a solid business strategy blended by a talented leadership team. Look forward to positivity in the months/ years ahead
I suspected there would be news and I predicted this some days back. No doubt there is more to come and I think the interim results will boost the SP further so the next 8 trading days should see the SP continue to rally….
The SP has been suppressed for way too long….we will see shareholders rewarded for their faith and patience … 70p and then it will push through 80p imho…. analysts predicted 116p by the year end…
Looking good for 70p…
See RNS…great purchase….
Even in a near recession when inflation and interest rates have risen significantly, the company will have found demand for it’s products wavering but will have still achieved improved trading performance in a turbulent economic environment. This will highlight the depth of the core customer base and managements high quality service standards which makes the Lords franchise unique and trusted. Even though IPO targets may not be achieved fully, the direction of travel for the group will be positive overall. 75p is a realistic next stop leading to a decent full year outcome of growth and improved net profits. 90p is again realistic come the year end in December…….
It is fair to say that with the current economic challenges, the company will be doing everything to meet sale / revenue targets and improved margins with effective cost measures operating. Alongside this they are, as the CEO confirmed, are always looking for new partnership (acquisitions) where there are clear synergies and opportunities to enhance ebitda. Hopefully there will be news on these opportunities…. but overall I absolutely rate this company and the opportunities for growth considering the small market share they have currently. The current SP does not at all reflect the positive facts and strong leadership within the group.
A week to before the half year results will be official. Strong demand over the next week will see these make solid progress as I trust in the prudent management team to be responding actively in a difficult consumer market with performance on track and another record t/o year with improved margins and a 10% rise in net profits and a higher dividend. We shall see but for now, the sp remains cheap and attractive longer term…..
Should see these rally now. Results on track I’m sure and dividend increase no doubt.. never really understood the pricing of the sp … suppressed and way below valuation…should be at £1…..
My expectations are they’re on track albeit some variations in performance but positive overall. Looking forward to a rise of 10%…at least….
