Most recently on ‘leading UK food-on-the-go retailer’ Greggs (GRG), in March with the shares above 1570p I concluded that with its noted trading challenges the valuation looked - perhaps more than - fair enough and so still avoid.

‘Leading UK food-on-the-go retailer’ Greggs plc (GRG) has issued a “Q4 Trading Update” commencing “fourth quarter total sales up 7.4%” and also including “anticipate full year outcome in line with the board’s previous expectations… Investments we have been making in our supply chain capacity, which start to become operational this year… Significantly reduced capex levels expected in 2026 following peak of investment programme”. So what about a current share price response towards 1650p, approaching 7% lower?
Early this month on ‘the UK’s leading food-to-go brand’ Greggs (GRG), with the shares falling to around 1700p on a half-year trading update warning, I concluded at least ahead of the 29th July-scheduled half year results detail still avoid.

The shares most recently closed at 1975p, but what of them currently falling to around 1700p on a “Trading Update”?
Writing on ‘food-on-the-go retailer’ Greggs (GRG) in January, with its shares falling below 2400p, I concluded that it was still sensible to prefer products from its broadening menu than the shares. The shares most recently closed at 2082p and what of them currently well below 2000p on the back of results for the company’s year ended 28th December 2024 despite the results headlined “Strong progress, with milestone £2 billion sales and record profits”?
Emphasising its “value-for-money… freshly-prepared food and drink position”, Greggs (GRG) has issued a “Q4 Trading Update” headlined “GOOD PROGRESS AND RECORD £2 BILLION SALES”. However why has that use of ‘Caps Lock’ not prevented the shares currently being over 9% lower to below 2400p?
