The main issue now facing DarkTrace is that they are starting to lose early adopter advantage with AI Security.
Looking at the tech industry they should be working to become either more ubiquitous or become a takeover target.

Hello PI_Winner, i'm a long time lurker, looking forward to the chats and learning from you guys.

The pub sector is gearing up for an increase in foot traffic over Easter and Summer, as consumers spending habits have normalised to the cost of living.
Alongside this and increase in visits from patrons that have stayed away over 2020/2022.

As a demographic the 18-25 have just gone through 3 years of limited socialising in pubs/bars, as such for them its a novelty they will be willing to spent money on as this will be the first year without covid being an issue.
There are circa 6 million people in this age bracket in the UK, so a large market.
As such, cash injection from this area combined with Marston's usual clients makes for an overall increase in revenue.

does not appear to be enough natural momentum, once the buy backs by Darktrace stop this stop drop a bit again.
wait for the dip and buy out from there around 220ish

yeah looks like there is a bit of a sell off with profits being taken.
Could see this shaken back to 750 with a couple of chunky sells.

Like-for-like sales for the 16-week period to January 21 were up 12.9% compared with last year.
Total retail sales in the Group's managed and franchised pubs were up 14% on 2021 and up 7.3% on 2020.
Marstons have just sold 3 pubs to Red Taverns, so some extra money into Marstons pockets.
And now we are starting the Easter and Summer sales period starting, and looks like there will be a massive volume of 18-25 year olds flocking to pubs after years of lock downs, so expect a lot of cash to pour into Marstons this year.
