The main indexes ie ftse 100 may be near all time highs, but there are many companies in ftse 350 that are at 5 year plus lows.
I think you're only valid argument is the NI hit, and even if let's say a negative outcome on that will be say 30 mill which is comparable to many others, higher than some retailers who will be more negatively affected by min wage also, I really don't see a scenario where even fcf neutral is our worst outcome for H1 next year, there were so many one offs last year, non recurring, and many cost savings this year, certainly which will be a tailwind for 25.
