Am hoping that the sell off from the trading update is a little bit overdone. H1 turnover was 2% up despite the April fall off - and we know May recovered plus the war seemingly drawing to a close (if that was an issue).
Top end of the revised estimate is still the same profit as last year. This company has cash on the balance sheet and generates cash each year. I like they are aggressively buying shares at these prices too (buy backs should be used in instance like this imo)
Obvious problem child is photo, down 6% in half 1. But we knew this is shrinking and being replaced by Wash increases. I think there is a natural size for photo, less than where we are but it should level at some point.
I would like to see a me group app and multiple vending offerings that all can link into that. Offers and geo features - find nearest available machine (even product available).
Have said this before but this doesn't get taken out by AI, there already is the network spread over a large geographical area with first mover advantage.
