I cant see why we wouldn't at least see some form of increase
Absolutely no chance of seeing the 80's next week or anytime soon.
I'm hoping we will see 80s next week with the lockdown coming to a end on the 2nd. The BBC are reporting that the 10pm curfew will also be relaxed in most areas which is good news for this sector.
Looks like lockdown will end on Dec 2 and pubs will be open until 11, also a potential total relaxation of rules over the xmas week itself..
Promising stuff for hospitality!

Vaccine will take months to get out - then its with the older not the pub spenders.
SD will continue through 2021 making pub numbers limited through winter /spring
Xmas will likely only be a respite - more January/ Feb lockdown likely after the increase spread over Xmas
Investment graphs go out the window IMHO at times like these - esp. in an industry reliant upon social mixing
Just my opinion, but Ive just got out of £20k at a profit whilst leaving my £3k for the long term
Unsure why it would be 55p with the vaccine being introduced and the busy xmas period on its way
The only way to have played this stock of late is to day trade the swings - huge swings.
The period before Carlsberg JV were a little scary but swings were so large you could keep taking profit.
I do think it will be £1 plus in LT but I believe it could be 55p sooner (at which point I will add LT). I've got a small (£3k) investment in my ISA which I will leave for LT and trade the swings.
Sage had a 13% fall today, so anything is possible. Although as a larger company, theres a better chance it will bounce 5% next week

Hopefully the PM announcing a return to a tiered lockdown in his announcement next week will push the markets up instead of down
Looks like my rating on Mars of 73p is now more reliable on CPI - never mind chaps you are always one step behind.
I totally agree re the BBC, I have given up with both their TV & radio news services. I certainly get the feeling that people are not generally bothered too much with this lockdown but are much keener to just get on with their lives, despite (or because of) our governments seemingly constant changing of tack, but whether or not this bodes well for pubs to open from Dec 2, I haven't a clue, tbh. The Oxford trials seem still to be going ahead well & I see no reason why a few weeks delay will put them at a disadvantage that Pfizer now seem to be in due to the difficulty of mass distribution at low temperatures. I think we need to ignore this background noise & just hope that licensed premises can reopen soon as far as Mars is concerned. But that, sadly, is in the hands of the politicians which rarely augurs very well.
Thank you guys, I intend to be here for the long term as I can see 100+ being achieved in the post pandemic world, but yes I also think the oxford vaccine results will be released before Dec 2nd and that will be the ultimate game changing one for the UK. Not to mention the Pfizer one being approved and distributed very soon.
5 weeks behind? I closely monitor the Lancet as I believe the BBC (Bullsh*t Broadcast News) gives a negative view on everything. It could be sunny outside and the BBC will still focus on saying its not going to last long. ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 is the effort from Oxford and the trials are being documented very well, it was only earlier today during an interview Dr Maheshi Ramasamy stated the results are very promising in P3 of the development trials. The interview was via Oxford official news press release and ends with promising news that in coming weeks they will release data showing efficacy rates. This will bring the uptick for sure. AstraZeneca will ensure that their efforts are published on the best platform and I would guess BoJo will comment on such news via a broadcast as this is his project. Giving Oxford Ac. & AstraZeneca the best light will be part of a Brexit strategy too, leaders in global pharmaceuticals.
There was no hoped-for jump in prices after Oxford vaccine news to-day, the Oxford vaccine being the one we can get the most of, because all the news told us is that they are about five weeks behind everybody else, so that takes us to after Christmas.
So keep getting the Marston's bottles in, lads, there are plenty in every supermarket. Are there any distillers or wine merchants that Marston's have an interest in?
The Spanish variant of Covid we have already, it was spread to all the richer countries in Europe by idiot returning holidaymakers.
The Danish Mink variety is hopefully thought to be extinct already, thankfully, because those same idiot holidaymakers had probably put Denmark on their wish-list for a winter break.
I agree with FD that your purchase was at the uptick momentum whilst most are prepping for pull triggers. The rest are in the Long Term (LT) strategy and have been in for quite sometime. What I would say is don't let todays poor trading reflect on the long term look depending on what strategy made your decision from your research shown that this is for sure a Long Term. We only joined in early March but my brother wants ST and I wanted LT (ongoing debate) so we are all at varying levels. If its any warmth, the release of Oxford joint effort are very close to releasing data sets (I think it will be before the 2nd Dec lockdown date) via public platform very similar to Pfizer then moderna this will for sure create an added boost that will hopefully add value to the price.
Joe you have probably bought at the top of the current uptrend. Be prepared for re-trenchment especially when the annual accounts are announced in 3 weeks.
Still can't conceal my disappointment buying a load of these last night at 70 only to see such a depressing decline today, hopefully some good news on the way
Good point about taxes, indeed, the treasury will need the money after this year!
IMO and I will probably get shot down in flames, Society is not disciplined and what ever form of lockdown is used, there will always be those who will ignore. Regrettably it is not just the young who ignore but now older generations who have got tired of Lockdown and just want to live whether it means death or not. Many I know are saying, this is no life just get on with it and to hell with the consequences....no one can live forever!! The colateral damage is becoming far worse than Covid. Now we are hearing of a CV19 variant, coming out of Spain, which is far more virulent.
People now should be wise enough to take their own precautions and act accordingly and allow life to get back to some form of normality.
Poleaxe me now for my views!!!
I personally cannot see a large extension of lockdown, maybe at most a push to the right in days purely down to timings so they can implement a better structural tier system. If we take the approach of the Jocks that will allow more areas to open in a phased approach. Still alot of areas in England are not complying and still roaming around with endless reports of pubs open serving cans with curtains shut to the passing public (Blackburn) also a news report saying a wedding took place with over 30+ guests (again Blackburn) so with a tiered system punish those in the areas that break and those in areas with very low % rates allow to continue with levels of freedom. The revenue through taxes in Dec is a large pot that cannot just hemorrhage away so I personally feel a very large extension will not be permitted. With Furlough in place till March this helps out massively but only short term. All IMO that is.
Have you or anyone wondered why the Furlough period has been extended to end of March???
Hi all, just wanted to get some opinions on whether people think lockdown will be extended in December as I know it could be a make or break thing for stocks. MARS and the like will benefit greatly over the xmas period yet they may struggle to even survive an extended lockdown.
What do people think?
Hopefully the xmas period will be a god send for many pubs, particularly as I think more people than ever will be out celebrating xmas this year after yet another lockdown
The Beer and Innkeerers association along with The British Institute of Brewing and Hospitality have just issued a report following a poll of their Members. The report states 72% of Members are working at a loss and do not expect to suvive.
This is a very worrying report and hope to hell it does not come about, however even more stimulation for Marstons to re-invent the Business model as I have been suggesting for many months. Marstons cannot afford to lose that many Pubs otherwise the JV will be breached.
I am holding strong, good news and end of lockdown to come, I have faith lol
Yes I agree. Looking tired now. Just sold.
