JDWPF - J D Wetherspoon: Don't Expect Fizzy Returns Any Time Soon
J.D. Weatherspoon Plc
2025-04-03 09:00:00 ET
Summary
J D Wetherspoon's share price has plummeted from its 2021 peak, with a P/E ratio of 10.5 suggesting a buying opportunity, but we remain cautious of a potential value trap.
Despite a 3.9% rise in revenue and 4.8% LFL sales growth in H1, Spoons's core segments like food and drinks saw modest gains, while EBIT margins fell 115bps.
Higher costs and taxes with volatile commodity prices will continue to squeeze margins, with EBIT margins not expected to recover to pre-pandemic levels until FY29.
