Did purchase some ahead of these results....yes on reading the announcement felt this was a clear profit warning. The outlook and growth is being called into question by Mr Market who is all wise!
Unsure ..seem solid but is this a profit warning!?7 Mar 2025 07:29
Seems like a profit warning but really unsure ...growth at the expense of profit?? Still profitable and growing dividend?.perhaps what matters is the direction of travel?? Outlook??

Having said that still think this an over reaction but what would turn sentiment now? Hope?? (Someone read me a line from The Shawshank Redemption...) :-)
Misguided guidance!!! Started with current CEO21 Nov 2024 12:11
I think JD have not guided the market properly and subtly re forward guidance. They said early part of year that one off sports events would boost sales. Then they disappoint. Think this SP will be range bound for foreseeable future. Imho
Today is a knee jerk reaction for sure from Mr Market. But the real question is about growth and profit sustainability...NEXT seems to grow and up guidances...JD is static...is it structural?? Will they get caught out by over leveraging acquisitions for low margin growth? Permenant discounting by competition...?? Feel suckered out like the rest this morning as it was 1.65p just weeks ago...thinking it over ...

NO. Inflation below 2% bodes well for all low price point stocks cos they were hit the most by the inflation surge. Would not rule out back to 35p imminently for no other reason than this ..!
