PMR up 0.40% today but the market's sleeping on the margin squeeze here. Consumer goods inflation is cooling faster than their input costs, yet the stock trades like nothing's changed - reckon we'll see some profit warnings before the sentiment flips.
PMR down 1.57% today but the dividend yield is still sitting around 3.5% at current levels. Anyone else thinking this pullback could be worth averaging into, or are you waiting for more clarity on volume trends in their retail division?
pulled the latest sens on this one, margin pressure is real but distribution's holding up
Been digging through the latest numbers on PMR and the margin compression is real, but the distribution network they've built into retail is actually hard to replicate. Volume growth is there even if price per unit is getting squeezed by input costs and competition from Tiger Brands. Question is whether they can hold market share through load-shedding season without the capex killing them, but at R192.40 you're not paying much for a defensive play in essentials.
PMR holding up okay at R192.40 but the real question is whether they can grow volumes in this economy. Baking and milling is defensive stuff, people still need bread even when times are tough, so thats something. Just need to see the numbers improve on the next earnings call to know if this is actually going anywhere or just treading water.
Do you think the margin squeeze in baking is going to keep hitting them. Volume's there but where's the actual profit coming from with input costs still high and retail holding the line on prices.
PMR breaking above that R185 resistance with nearly 3% momentum suggests some relief buying after the recent retail weakness, though I'd want to see if this holds on volume before getting too excited.
bread and flour business in a load-shedding economy, what could go wrong. still cheap at R175.24 though, bakeries aren't going anywhere and the margin story improves when energy sorts itself. fair play to anyone holding through the noise.
