The better the leader, the less clear

The idea of ​​how to convert customers and make more money is challenging. The pre-tax value in 2022/23 is estimated at £ 130- £ 150m. The lead for the current earnings limit was lowered, from 4.0% to 3.0%.

The company posted a final quarter of 2.15p, taking the full 5% annual salary higher at 3.15p.

Our opinion

Markets have had good year -round results, despite the advice that margin growth will be lower in the medium term than expected. Showing the nature of the tentative markets per minute, the growth of each type will be improved.

The rise in the risk of online shopping is slowly opening up, even though it is recovering better than pre-pandemic levels. The supply in Currys ’strong store meant that customers didn’t lose out from the site and store sales saw a huge increase as a result.

The return on store sales for Currys is important, which is better than online. The store has declined significantly in recent years, as the company closed its independent Carphone Warehouse stores. That is, they reduce rental costs and increase profitability.

One of the main features of the company is its modeling. You can walk into a store and have access to the entire online store or talk to a specialist in the store in the comfort of your own home. These services help Currys attract and retain a customer when they are in trouble and help the company gain access to the market.

Low rental costs have another advantage. With the decline of the pencil case, the stock market is much better than it was in previous years. It gives the company confidence to start the division again this year, and there is a resale. Return of the claimant is not guaranteed.

The increase is well managed now. The combination of inflation and higher inflation is the result of an increase over the past year, a trend that is expected to continue. That’s not to say there’s no problem. The buyer with the least amount of money is the one who spends the idea under pressure. The company’s large Nordic index is an advantage here, as domestic customers are showing fewer signs of weakness than their UK counterparts.

We’re really impressed with how the Currys have managed over the past two years and the coaches have been strong enough to improve in the middle. But performance limits are much lower, at a rate above 2%, so there’s not much room to wiggle if conditions are better where inflation falls. Below the long -term average a company’s review reporting short -term problems can signal a good entry point for investors willing to accept immediate problems.
