Re: Any explanation for the stumble I think the immediate trigger is the consumer spending weakness as inflation outstrips earnings. That's going to carry on and if interest rates rise as the last BoE meeting appears to be foreshadowing the squeeze on incomes could worsen.Post referendum I forecast the economy would go into recession - I was wrong. However I think it's still reasonable to expect a decade of very low growth. I don't think most people realise just how dependent upon immigration our economy has been. If the population stops rising, consumer spending stops growing.

Re: Any explanation for the stumble General uncertainty, consumer spending down.... but I've topped up at around 12 month lows and good dividend yield. Some sunny, hot weather coming up - should be good for beer sales and eating out in Marstons pubs ?

Any explanation for the stumble Any explanation for the stumble in the share price?Fears of interest rates creeping back up?Dawning realisation that the good ship Britannia is rudderless? - although surely that should increase beer sales!Tempted to top up (average down) but that involves cashing in a safe investment.Cheers to allKintra

Re: Revenue and earnings growth despite ... You can only buy this share at the current price unless you want to make me an offer I am in this share for another reason the 20% discount you get on 500 shares as one of my wife's favourite places to eat is a Marstons. Bought at or below my target price to make the purchase make sense on that basis. The Divi and any growth is a good thing and if I get to 15-20% may sell don't need to own them again until October 2018.I only hold 500 so not a big investment but bought at near an all time low for this share when bought so in profit even at this price.I was surprised at how little the drop was yesterday given there was anther 10% of shares about to hit the market and surprised by the £1.37 price which I think underlines the potential for this share as far as gaining some value from the bottom is concerned.#brexidiots are a worry as when the full effects hit the UK this sector could be a great risk as prices rise and incomes squeeze and the costs of running the business will rise if the Tories get in and severely restrict low grade work immigration thus increasing the availability of workers in the sector.
