The bod complain about difficulty hiring staff due to Brexit which I think is a lame excuse. How anybody foreign or British can survive in London on a minimum wage is beyond me. They should pay the staff min £15 an hour

Next Wed 6th sept I will be interested to see how the weak £ is contributing from our strong euro zone franchises.

WH Smith again reporting strong airport sales so I'm topping up on SSP again

It's probably due to the planned rights issue to fund the Wells Fargo deal. I for one will be topping up.

... I mean £6 this year

One of the main drivers of this is weak £ so it's like a hedge against Brexit uncertainty. Airport footfall is holding up well . I can see £3 this year

Interim results on 27th July and rights issue sometime in September.

Why did you sell .. thinking short term ? This company is expanding through acquisitions, the directors are filling their boots and it's undervalued up to 2.70 plus just gave a nice 2.40 dividend and it's a defensive stock which will still need to collect the rubbish whatever happens in North Korea or Brexit .im holding until the company does something stupid which they all do eventually

Me too. 3.20p divvy tomorrow .. then off to 500. I will review in Sep when year end results are published to see if they are still on track . GLA

My view is that this is a defensive stock which is currently undervalued which goes back to the IPO when it was issues at 180 .. below the estimated 220-280 range. There was market turbulence at the time . With a current low p/e if 7-8 I expect it to run up to 270 before settling in to a boring utility. Beyond that price will depend on expansion and ability to increase dividends . All in MHO and as usual dyor.

This share is off to the races .. I'll hold until it doubles ,top slice then forget about it for a few years .

Looks like I'm the last person on here which is a pity as it's been a great steady rise since I bought in last year . I reckon there's more to come so I'm letting it ride

As forecast WH Smith just turned in a good set of results with sales +8% mainly due to increased sales at airports and train stations ,SSPs market place. Bodes well for the next set of results. The international outlets should continue to provide a currency boost .i will use any pullback due to Brexit uncertainty to add a bit

Should benefit from the 25 counties who have not being spending the required amount on their defense increasing their spend .

I watched this share for ages looking for an entry point on a pullback which never arrived. I finally bit the bullet when it was near an year high and am being rewarded as it continues to grind higher .. slowly but surely catchee monkee .

You may get the impression from my posts that I'm a fan of this company and you'd be right. For newbies to this share how about this : on 21/7/16 they doled out a special div of £1 per share .. that's right 100p .. difficult to beat that .

I read recently that some airlines are considering removing food on their flights as Jo Public prefers to bring their own . Good for SSP

I've upped my stake by 200% in anticipation of a major re rating over next 6 months .

Some very strange trades today .multiple trades for a handful of shares .

Edison investments reckon PPH has a 63% discount to NAV currently and with current extensions and new developments in london coming on stream this year and next I would expect that the sp to nav would narrow . I'll add 20% to my holding in anticipation
