STU

Studio Retail Group – sale from administration to Frasers Group & other shareholders wipeout. A disgrace but quelle surprise...

Previously writing on Studio Retail Group (STU) earlier this month I noted hopefully my warning of “funding crisis ahoy” last month was heeded as now it’s ‘Intention to Appoint Administrators’!. In that I noted ‘the major shareholders include Frasers Group (FRAS) of Mike Ashley (in)famy (28.89%), Schroders (18.94%) and Lombard Odier (11.26%) – and what odds of Ashley now buying this out of administration with nothing for smaller shareholders?’. Today a “Sale of Studio Retail Limited”-titled announcement...

Studio Retail Group – hopefully my warning of “funding crisis ahoy” last month was heeded as now it’s ‘Intention to Appoint Administrators’!

At the end of last month despite Studio Retail Group (STU) stating “expectations for Adjusted PBT for the full year are now likely to be in a range of £28m to £30m” and CEO Paul Kendrick that “we will continue to drive the long-term profitability and success of the group”, I noted profit is a matter of opinion and it’s funding crisis ahoy. Should the management even all be in place to even have the chance to “drive the long-term profitability and success of the group”? I’ll review again on further developments but, at this juncture, natch avoid / sell HERE. Now there are further developments... shares suspension and “Notice of Intention to Appoint Administrators”!

I don't, as yet, own any AMRQ - but have studied their price action for some time. They appear to be an excellent buy on gold down days, so if you believe the gold $5,000 and above story which I strongly do I may be adding some to my portfolio in the not too distant.

A very recent interview with Eldur Olafsson, it’s on Substack which you can get for free. The interviewer is Charles Archer (yes I know he’s from Sunday Brunch stock promoters) but there’s some good references to the future of Amaroq.https://thatstocksguy.substack.com/p/amaroq-c6c?r=6eq01c&utm_medium=ios

I wonder, with all the current and future turmoil in France, whether that might make Andy Pandy think harder about his rejoin plans, especially if Marine Le Pen wins?
