Franchise Brands – “expect to deliver a highly resilient performance”, so trading performance challenging then?…

Describing itself as a “multi-brand franchisor focused on B2B van-based service with seven franchise brands and a presence in 10 countries across the UK, North America and Europe”, Franchise Brands (FRAN) has issued a “Q3 Trading Update” headlined “Expect to deliver a highly resilient performance, with Adjusted EBITDA for the full year in line with market expectations”. So what about currently a share price slightly further down in response at 126p, despite already being down from above 150p in the summer?

Franchise Brands – interims emphasise “significant earnings progression”, but such progression not for long?…

Describing itself as a “multi-brand franchisor focused on B2B van-based service with seven franchise brands and a presence in 10 countries across the UK, North America and Europe”, Franchise Brands (FRAN) states that it “is pleased to announce its unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2025” and headlines them including “Significant earnings progression as strong cash generation supports deleveraging. Clear progress with strategic initiatives strengthening the business for future growth”. So what about a share price response currently to 125p, more than 8% lower?

FRAN

Franchise Brands – “Group CEO Appointment and Listing Consideration”, what about current trading consideration?…

Describing itself as a “multi-brand franchisor focused on B2B van-based service with 7 franchise brands and a presence in 10 countries across the UK, North America and Europe”, Franchise Brands (FRAN) has issued a “Group CEO Appointment and Listing Consideration” announcement – and what of the shares currently more than 4% higher at 165p in response?

Barry says "if this trade unwinds it does completely crash the economy" as if there is a way to avoid it. By some measures the biggest bubble the world economy has ever seen cannot be kept inflated indefinitely, nor can it be made to deflate slowly and gently float down. Or at least that has never been seen with the biggest bubbles the world has ever seen previously. Interesting times ahead.

Please produce some data to back up your claim that the government by which you mean the Bank of England as the government has no control over the money supply, is printing money. What is increasing, is it M1, M2 or M3 and by how much? I strongly suspect that the inflation we are seeing today is input cost inflation, largely caused by the increase in energy costs as a result of the war started by the orange faced idiot and his puppet master Netanyahu. Energy costs are pervasive, influencing every aspect of the economy and your suggestion of reducing the taxes on energy is populist nonsense. Would you have the government borrowing even more money than it is now, or dare I say it, printing money?
