Terrible share price performance, this has been on a downward spiral ever since I bought years ago
I think airports using the new scanning system at security will have an impact on there sales. Max 2 litres of fluid can be taken through security now . They make a fortune on meal deals and drinks at Airports
Crazy, another solid and profitable UK (and now global) business that should be flying. Perhaps they need to change their name to WHSTech or Smith AI & Blockchain, appoint a CEO just out of primary school, develop a product and business model that nobody understands and then consistently lose millions every quarter. Then the share price would fly, we'd have naive US investors crawling all over it and Sunak and Hunt telling the world what a great British company it was.
Got in at 8am. I fail to understand the markets. Future looks bright. Lots going for the company. Daft.
Promising update with better then expected growth and the share falls.UK markets are dumb
Maybe the USA investors will lift the sp when they climb out of bed later today?
Sp has gone nowhere for months now and that is a surprise given the improving picture here. Lets hope the analysts buy something at smiths!
Climb in sp continues at a slower pace than I expected and I hope it does not run out of steam!
Sp climbing nicely today in the face of a declining market - just need a broker uprate and ii buying and we should be back closer to £15.
I can't help wondering if it's a little 'off-radar' at the moment. We're getting a better reaction now and my guess is that institutions will start buying also. SP is nice and low in what seems to be a good environment for Smiths at the moment.
Was expecting a better market reaction from the results considering how much this share has fallen, just shows how depressed the UK markets are, no one wants to invest any more
Great results and outlook and with Rail in UK looking like strikes are reducing sp should rise here imv.
Looks like buying before results should pay off this time round. It's not usually something I do, but this mornings RNS looks positive.
The spread is pretty big at 9p, but I've entered and incredibly am 1p in profit. Let the good times roll!
2 days to go, the SP has closed it's downside gap and may well be preparing to move to the upside. If i get a buy signal I'll be tempted to buy a small position even prior to results (it's often not wise to hold over night when results are due. Nothing is certain in life, other than old age and death, but this is starting to look interesting to me.
I topped up with another £2.5k as this should rise on good results and get a lift from rya when analysts look forward imv.
Not much recent activity on this board which seems a shame. There's been a sustained fall in the SP as the business rebalances I guess, moving away from high street retail into travel related/airport retail? Maybe some of those who've looked more closely at the business can help me put some meat on that (or debunk it as rubbish).
I like to look at charts and the chart here looks quite permissive for a speculative trade with Stochs oversold, RSI not far out of the oversold region and some levelling off of the MACD. None of that means SP will rise, but it increases the chance that we're near a low. Results are next week. Ryan Air reports monday which might help set the scene, recently travel related stocks have been up beat and I guess WH smith should be too. I have a potential support around 1135 (but it's not a strong one). If that were to fail then we could retest the 925 area. I'll not buy before results but am getting intested.
