Hostmore – “trading update and board change”, how effective currently is its “elevating our positioning”?
By Steve Moore | Tuesday 10 January 2023
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
Previously writing on 'Fridays' (formerly TGI Fridays), '63rd+1st', and 'Fridays and Go' restaurants and bars company Hostmore (MORE), in November with the shares at 15.245p I questioned how effective its “elevating our positioning” is going to be against current headwinds. Today a “Trading Update and Board Change” announcement… and the shares currently slumping from a last close above 14p to below 11.5p, so what’s the detail?
