Hoffman "The vet side making increased profits (being investigated by government from excessive charging) The retail side is due to decrease this coming year as most of it, is ripoff price discretionary spending items,which the customer will cut down on...It's a double whammy and could be a profits downgrade further down the line" - You are implying that Pets at Home are overcharging with regards to their vet service Vets for Pets - I use them for my 2 cats and they are the cheapest around by some margin, hence they are taking market share from the rest - one of the reasons PETS was reviewed for a takeover by BC Partners in Feb - in any case the CMA review was watered down a few weeks back and the PETS sp rose - re the cautious guidance for next year 115m to 125m - that still puts PETS on a book ratio of 1 vs their piers which will imo always leave a potential bid in play - hardly any capex to come off future earnings as the tech spend is more or less complete, so more profits generated down the pipe - the p/e around 16 atm - sp should be well over 3 quid imo - gl dyor etc.
