M&S SHARES IN FREE FALL! 11% DROP IN 2025! What’s Happening?
Over the last five years, Marks and Spencer has seen its stock TRIPLE in value. But hold onto your hats, because 2025 is shaping up to be a TOTAL DISASTER with an 11% nosedive! Should you buy in? My answer is a BIG, FAT NO! And here’s why you should STAY AWAY!
Are They Out of Touch? SHOCKING Customer Insights!
You won’t believe this — every time I step into a Marks and Spencer store, I’m left SCRATCHING MY HEAD! What are they thinking? DO THEY EVEN KNOW what their customers want? Impressively, their performance isn’t as dire as I expected, making me question if they actually get it more than I do!
But that’s a red flag for me! If I can’t read the minds of M&S buyers, how can I trust my dollars in their hands? Warren Buffett calls it a “circle of competence,” and this place is NOT in mine!
Leadership: Brilliant, But Inconsistent!
Buffett likes businesses that can be run by an idiot, because let’s face it — one day they just might be! M&S management isn’t idiotic; they’ve done some phenomenal things recently. Last year, revenue shot up 6% and profits before tax and adjustments skyrocketed 22%!
But here’s the kicker — profit after tax CRASHED 31%! So, while I’m impressed by their sales growth, they still have a LONG way to go in mastering the basics! And don’t even get me started on that horrid cyber attack they suffered. I mean, how long does it take to restock basic products? EMPTY SHELVES everywhere! Is this company EVEN resilient enough to survive?
Valuation? MORE like VALUATION TRAP!
Let’s talk about the numbers, shall we? M&S might still have a legion of loyal fans, but paying 25 times earnings? Are they kidding? And don’t even think about that measly 1% dividend yield! If you ask me, this stock is WAY overpriced!
Sure, M&S has had a brilliant five years, but right now? It screams OVERVALUED! Save your cash—investors beware, because I’m not touching this with a ten-foot pole!
