On marstons website it says trading update is on 24th july

For the past 4 years marstons has issued a trading update approx at the end of july,is it a voluntary statement or do we have to have one,can anyone shed light on this,,

As i have only been an investor for approx 6 years,with shares in ncc,cbg and marstons,can someone tell me,what has marstons got left that i have shares in,has marstons got any involvement or income from cmbc,it seems strange that the share price has stalled today (is this good or bad news),

Are there two marstons,because i fail to see any share price rise on friday concerning marstons brewery plc,

"Carlsberg are looking after their own interests and doubt Marstons are involved at all" sounds like the same situation as when platinum put the takeover bid in for marstons and the board were looking after their own interests and not getting us (the shareholders) involved,at least the Britvic shareholders are aware of the bid,,,

Yes its brilliant news for Britvic shareholders, their price is souring on the possible takeover announcment,,,,what i dont see is the marstons price moving ,even if we are linked in some way ,,,,

Lejjb,,,,wether its wrote by a "bot" or a share holder,a lot of speculation put on these message boards is worth "zilch",,,untill the event happens,

Just seen this on another website,worth a look,,,,,hxxps://simplywall.st/stocks/gb/consumer-services/lse-mars/marstons-shares/news/marstons-plc-lonmars-institutional-owners-may-be-pleased-wit

FD,,,,dont forget Mansfield brewery,i worked there 30 years and when marstons (W&D) took over and closed it,they tried brewing mansfield bitter at burton,and yes there was a difference

Was green king bought in 2019 by a rich Hong kong family "CKA group",i wonder if,and what plans they had for the brewery before they purchased,

Good weather used to be the brewery/publicans friend,but even in july 2022 when we had record 40 degree heatwave,marstons still failed to attract and sell beer to thirsty customers,

The departing chairman (william rucker) has departed 6 months ago,the new chairman (justin platt)was installed on 10 january 2024 so he will have only been at the helm and making decisions for 5 months before any updates in may,

Looks like the stonegate company is in trouble with more debt(2billion) than marstons,stonegate is one of the big customers martons supply their beer to,its got to affect them eventually,

When i worked at mansfield brewery a mate of mine used to back horses,and i remember a saying he had,"it doesnt matter how much money you throw on a lame horse,it wont make it run any better"

Wolfwatch,iv got to agree its struggling to survive,we used to have nice weather to rely on to boost the sp,but look back at last year with a good summer (highs of 38-40 degrees) this share achieved 30/33,with a billion in debt and everyones bills increasing pluss £5-8 per pint,its not looking good,im looking for 45p just to break even,

I wouldnt put much credence to the company ceo having "faith in the company and buying shares",not long ago a top ceo "RF" had that much faith in the company he turned down three offers of over £1 a share,stating "we are worth more than that",we are lucky if we get above 30p,

So theres my answer, duty freeze and minimum wage up,not much help for the business,

Have these directors heard a "whisper on the grape vine" that there may be some good news in the budget this afternoon to revive the ailing beer trade,,,

As usual,Marstons release some good news and a good set of trading figures,then the share price goes down,can someone explain it to a layman like myself why this always happens to Marstons,For example,Mitchells and butlers released similar results and their share price rose dramatically and kept going up all day to nearly yearly record peaks,,,confusing !

I have just read the good results from mab christmas trading statement,here in my world marstons have dropped down to 32 so with any potential good news next week we might get up to 36.
