As a long-term investor, I love buying beaten-down quality shares, though. So I’m giving the sportwear retailer a close look after last week’s more positive trading update.

Hargreaves Lansdown commented after the release that

JD Sports hasn’t kicked off the year in style, but there were early signs of improving trends in its largest region, North America.

Could early-bird investors be rewarded by snapping JD Sports shares up cheaply today? It’s possible…

JD Sports shares rise!

Like many retailers, JD Sports has suffered as consumers have become more picky over what they buy. A backdrop of soaring inflation, higher interest rates, and weak growth has left people with less money in their pockets.

JD Sports has been more exposed than many in its sector, too. Why? Focusing on premium brands like Nike and Adidas has paid off handsomely during the good times. But it’s left the company more vulnerable as people have sought cheaper alternatives.

Trading results on Thursday (7 May) were more positive, though. They showed “sales trends sequentially improved through the year” in North America during the 12 months to January. This is critical — the company makes roughly 40% of revenues from the region.

Investment in its digital platform and supply chains helped the business make the best of an extremely tough period. Pre-tax profit dropped 7.7% to £852m, though sales rose 11.7% to £12.7bn (or 2.1% on an organic basis).

The share price rose on the news, which was also boosted by the announcement of bumper shareholder returns. The retailer hiked full-year dividends 20% and announced a £200m share buyback programme, supported by a jump in cash flows.

So what next?

The question is: is JD Sports now over the worst? By its own admission the answer is ‘no.’

It’s expecting “muted market growth in the near term,” with consumer spending impacted further by the Iran war. Pre-tax profit for this financial to year is tipped to drop from fiscal 2026, to between £750m and £850m.

Yet it’s possible in today’s climate that we see more share price-smacking profit forecast downgrades, the most recent of which came in November. So what should investors do today?

A top FTSE 100 share

As a long-term investor, there’s a lot I like about this FTSE 100 share. It retains significant growth potential as changing consumer habits fuel the ‘athleisure’ market. And it is well placed to capitalise on this when consumer spending improves, through:

• Its leading position in the higher-growth premium segment.
• Exclusive supply agreements with sportswear heavyweights.
• The firm’s popular and expanding digital platform.
• Significant cash flows to fund long-term store expansion.

The share price collapse means it now trades on a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 5.9 times. That’s hugely attractive for a company of this quality, in my view. While it’s not without risk, I think it’s a great share for investors seeking cheap FTSE 100 stocks to consider.

The post Down 61% and a P/E of 5.9! Is this FTSE 100 share FINALLY rebounding? appeared first on The Twelfth Magpie.

I added all three to my SIPP in 2023. They’ve been a disaster for my portfolio, each falling a third on my watch. And that’s despite me averaging down on bad news. There’s been plenty of it.

When will Taylor Wimpey shares recover?

The first flop is FTSE 250-listed house builder Taylor Wimpey (LSE: TW) – although it was in the FTSE 100 when I bought it. The shares are down 33% over the last year, and 55% over five. It now trades on a low forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just over 11. The forward yield is a mind-boggling 11.9%, but don’t be fooled. The dividend is being cut so investors can expect around 7.5%. Which still isn’t bad.

Taylor Wimpey has been hit by affordability issues, the cladding scandal, rising cost of labour and materials, the end of the Help to Buy scheme. Today, there’s the threat of rising inflation and interest rates. So can it turn that round?

Alas, I’m not very optimistic for this year. The UK economy looks set to struggle, as the Iran conflict drags on. I still believe it’s time will come. And I will keep reinvesting my dividends until it does.

Why is Diageo struggling?

Spirits giant Diageo (LSE: DGE) is still in the FTSE 100, although it’s not for want of trying. Its shares have done just as badly as Taylor Wimpey’s, down 34% over one year and 55% over five.

The Johnnie Walker, Baileys, Guinness and Smirnoff owner has also been struck by the cost-of-living crisis, which has forced drinkers to trade down from its premium brands, as well as US tariffs, and localised issues in Latin America and China.

It’s now headed by turnaround specialist Dave Lewis, who salvaged Tesco, and I’m optimistic he’ll work his magic again here. Sadly, he started by halving the dividend. Diageo’s forward P/E is also low at 12.4, way below its 10-year average of 22. But with the oil price spike squeezing drinkers all over again, patience is once more required.

JD Sports is a beaten stock

I’m afraid the same must be said of my final portfolio straggler – self-styled ‘King of Trainers’ JD Sports Fashion (LSE: JD). This was also hit by the consumer squeeze. The timing was unlucky, because it had lined up a big move into the US through the $1.1bn purchase of local retail chain Hibbett.

I thought JD looked like an unmissable bargain with a forward P/E of around six. Unfortunately, it’s still around that today. The JD Sports share price is down 17% over the last year and 64% over five.

I think all three have massive recovery potential and are worth considering today. Investors may have to be patient though. They all need a wider economic recovery, and that could take a year or two. I’m backing Diageo to recover first. It’s updating the market tomorrow (6 May), and I can’t wait to see what it says.

The post I’m backing these 3 disastrously cheap shares to rocket back to favour appeared first on The Twelfth Magpie.

But the key to value investing is to identify those struggling due to a short-term issue, something that’s unlikely to last for very long. Otherwise, there’s nothing to stop a company’s share price falling further. With this in mind, could this familiar name on the FTSE 100 begin a comeback soon?

Who are we talking about?

JD Sports Fashion‘s (LSE:JD.) a staple of Britain’s high streets and retail parks. However, the self-styled ‘King of Trainers’ is struggling.

Although it’s grown in recent years by buying more overseas stores, its like-for-like sales are falling. The retailer’s most recent trading update revealed a 2.1% drop for the 48 weeks to 3 January, compared to the same period a year earlier.

When its full-year results are released, analysts are expecting a similar fall. And they’re predicting a drop of 0.7% for the 52 weeks ending 30 January 2027 (FY27).

Clearly, this lack of growth explains the group’s disappointing share price performance. Indeed, the company’s now in danger of being relegated from the FTSE 100.

More bad news

On 22 April, the City had another reason to put the boot in with the surprise announcement that the group’s chair, Andrew Higginson, would leave in the summer. Even though the reasons are unclear, I believe investors over-reacted.

The group’s shares fell 3.9% wiping over £140m off its market-cap. With remuneration of £480,000, investors value Higginson at over 290 times his earnings!

That’s massively more than the group itself. In fact, the stock’s historic price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is close to its five-year low and comfortably below its average (14.3) over this period.

As we move into the next phase of our journey, our focus on business discipline and cashflow leaves JD well-placed to deliver the value it unquestionably represents

Andrew Higginson, chair, JD Sports

On the other hand…

Yet despite its lack of growth, the group remains cash generative and, excluding leases, is in a net cash position.

Analysts are expecting FY27-FY28 free cash of over £900m. With no plans to expand, this should leave plenty of money to spend on redeveloping and refreshing its existing stores. This could be the catalyst to get the group’s share price moving in the right direction again.

Analysts are forecasting earnings per share as follows:

• 11.37p (FY26).
• 11.38p (FY27).
• 12.50p (FY28).

Trading at just 5.5 times forecast (FY28) earnings, the stock appears incredibly cheap. In theory, investors are likely to be attracted to stock with a low P/E ratio. However, with a lethargic top line it’s hard for investors to get excited, despite the group being profitable and cash generative. Momentum’s so important in the world of investing.

As a shareholder, I find this lack of progress frustrating. But I’m not giving up on the company. With its strong brand, increased exposure to North America, and the enduring appeal of the athleisure market, I think it will get back on its feet soon.

That’s why I think it could be considered by long-term investors looking to buy a cheap share at a rock-bottom price.

The post With a forward P/E of 5.5, is the ‘King of Trainers’ a bargain-basement value share to consider buying now? appeared first on The Twelfth Magpie.

Looking around, I can see a few of potential opportunities to consider in the UK market.

Turnaround candidate?

Broadcaster ITV (LSE: ITV) is arguably one example. Based on analyst projections, its shares currently change hands at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just under 10.

The trouble is that the performance of the share price over the long term leaves a lot to be desired. Anyone picking up the stock five years ago will have endured a 33% fall. Sure, dividends received over this period would have soothed the paper loss to some extent. But this is akin to treading water. It’s not a recipe for getting rich.

Can long-standing CEO Carolyn Mccall and her team turn things around? The sheer amount of competition ITV faces along with the structural decline in TV advertising suggests it will be tough. But more growth in its Studios division would certainly do no harm. I also wouldn’t rule out a takeover bid or two.

In the meantime, the stock offers a forecast yield of 6.3%.

Huge dividend yield

Price comparison websites provider MONY Group (LSE: MONY) is a second mid-cap value stock that catches the eye and may be worth further research. Like the broadcaster, its share price has been going down for some time now. We’re talking about a 14% fall in the last 12 months.

A lot of this seems to be fuelled by concerns over the £900m cap’s ability to grow. Yes, revenue is ticking up but this is not the sort of momentum that’s going to get investors busting a gut to buy. The large number of share sales by directors in March doesn’t bode well either.

All that said, MONY trades on a P/E of nine. That looks remarkably cheap considering the above-average margins it consistently posts. The launch of a new MoneySuperMarket Chat GPT app also shows how it’s leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance services for customers.

The passive income is worth mentioning too. At a chunky 7.6%, the forecast yield is over double that of the FTSE 250.

How cheap?

By contrast to the previous two stocks, JD Sports Fashion (LSE: JD) pays relatively little in dividends. So there won’t be much in the way of compensation for buyers if the shares keep falling in value. They’re already down nearly 20% in 2026 alone!

The outlook isn’t great either. With inflation on the rise due to the conflict between Iran and the US, it’s likely that shoppers will be looking to cut back (again) on discretionary purchases.

But I still think there’s a lot to like. JD’s ongoing growth strategy in the US is progressing well and now accounts for a significant amount of total revenue. The forthcoming footfball World Cup could also provide a boost to earnings (even during tough times) thanks to long-standing partnerships with key brands such as Nike and Adidas.

To cap things off, it’s also the cheapest of the three. The P/E here’s a little less than six! If/when sentiment improves, those brave enough to think about investing now could be rewarded.

The post P/E ratios of less than 10. Are these 3 FTSE value shares hot enough to consider buying now? appeared first on The Twelfth Magpie.

That approach can be a mistake, though – and a very costly one!

Time can compound investment returns strongly

To illustrate why, just think about how a longer timeframe can help someone build their wealth prior to retirement.

Imagine someone expects to retire at 67. Perhaps, through smart investing, they could retire much earlier if they wanted to. But say they decide to aim for 67 and invest £500 per month towards that aim, compounding it at 5% annually.

Depending on when they start, the results can be very dramatic, as this table shows.

Starting at 20, they could retire a millionaire!

More generally, the theme is clear: the earlier someone starts investing, the more they stand to benefit from taking a long-term approach.

A SIPP can add the cherry on the cake

The above example applies to an investment whether or not it is in a SIPP.

But a SIPP can add a lucrative twist.

SIPPs offer tax relief, based on the income tax band of the investor.

So, even for someone who pays at the basic rate of 20%, for each £500 they invest, they will actually have £625 available to invest. (Higher and additional rate taxpayers do even better).

Please note that tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in future. The content in this article is provided for information purposes only. It is not intended to be, neither does it constitute, any form of tax advice. Readers are responsible for carrying out their own due diligence and for obtaining professional advice before making any investment decisions.

That means that, in the example above, someone starting at 40 will hit 67 with a SIPP valued at approximately £392k instead of £314k. For someone starting at 30, at 67 the SIPP will be worth around £735k, not £588k.

Those are big differences.

But SIPPs also come with some possible downsides. Those include the inability to withdraw cash before 55 and the fact that only a limited portion of the SIPP can be drawn down even then, without being subject to income tax and capital gains tax rules.

One share to consider for the long term

Still, on balance, I think a SIPP can be an attractive proposition for many investors.

I used a 5% compound annual gain in my example above. I see that as a realistic goal in the current market.

One share I think investors should consider is FTSE 100 retailer JD Sports (LSE: JD).

At first glance, that may seem an odd choice. After all, JD’s share price has fallen by three-fifths over the past five years.

Its dividend goes some small way to taking the edge off that fall, but given the paltry yield of 1.2%, the past five years have still been a disaster for shareholders.

However, I think that means the share is now attractively priced given the company’s long-term prospects.

Sure, a weak economic outlook could hurt consumer confidence, eating into people’s willingness to splash cash on fancy footwear.

Over time, though, I think JD Sports’ huge expansion spree of recent years will pay off.

With thousands of shops worldwide, it has a strong brand, economies of scale, industry clout, and a deep understanding of what shoppers want.

At just seven times earnings, I do not think the current share price properly values that massive potential.

In April 2026, expert analysts have quite a few names on their lists. But there’s one stock in particular that the team at Peel Hunt has described as “chronically undervalued”. So much so, it’s predicting the stock could skyrocket 169%!

So what’s this business? And should I rush to buy?

A contrarian value play

Peel Hunt’s high conviction value stock pick in 2026 is JD Sports Fashion (LSE:JD.). And the investment idea’s fairly straightforward.

JD Sports has been navigating turbulent market conditions of late, with weaker discretionary consumer spending that’s subsequently led to lacklustre earnings. And this negative impact was amplified by the group’s strong reliance on Nike-branded goods, which have fallen out of fashion of late, particularly its footwear.

However, despite these challenges, the business remained highly cash generative. As such, management’s guiding for £400m of free cash flow generation in its 2026 fiscal year, which ended in February.

Despite this, the share price has continued to trend downward to the point where Peel Hunt analysts believe the market’s pricing the business as if it’s in a structural decline rather than a cyclical one.

That’s why, with JD remaining the partner-of-choice for global mega-brands as well as showing early signs of organic growth recovery, a fantastic buying opportunity may have emerged. And it seems JD leadership agrees, following the launch of a new £200m share buyback programme.

So with a share price target of 200p versus the stock’s current 74p price, is this a no-brainer? Or has Peel Hunt missed something?

What to watch

Peel Hunt’s currently the most bullish institutional investor following this business. And while there are a few other analyst teams who are optimistic, the overall consensus is that JD Sport shares are a Hold, not a Buy. Why is that?

There are three core concerns:

1. Despite being cash generative, JD Sports carries just over £3bn of lease liabilities that behave similarly to debt.
2. Rising labour costs are compressing operating profit margins.
3. The fashion trend cycle may be shifting away from athleisure.

Combined, these factors obscure the company’s near-term earnings visibility. And it’s this uncertainty that’s keeping JD Sport shares down in value stock territory. So what’s the verdict?

The bottom line

In my opinion, Peel Hunt might be onto something. While I think 200p is a very ambitious share price target, there’s no denying that at its current valuation, the market’s pricing this business very pessimistically on what appears most likely to be temporary headwinds rather than permanent ones.

That opens the door to a potentially rapid and powerful upward re-rating if and when JD makes it through the storm. However, the timing of this cycle shift remains a mystery.

For my personal portfolio, I’m not looking for exposure to the sports/fashion sector. But for those seeking to diversify, JD Sport does appear to offer an interesting value proposition for investors willing to be patient. So it might be worth a closer look.

The post An unbelievable value stock to buy before it’s too late? appeared first on The Twelfth Magpie.

Fortunately, there’s a relatively quick way to try and identify cheap shares. And I’ve used it to find one example of what I believe is a bargain-basement value stock.

A quick overview

As its name suggests, the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio measures a company’s share price relative to its profit. In simple terms, it defines how much investors are prepared to pay for £1 of earnings. In theory, the lower the number, the cheaper the shares.

However, it’s important to apply a bit of judgement when using the P/E ratio. A low figure could imply that investors are concerned about the company’s prospects. For example, earnings might be going in the wrong direction. And ratios will vary across different industries. Capital-intensive sectors tend to have lower valuation multiples.

Out of fashion

But I think it makes sense to track a stock’s P/E ratio over time. And that’s what makes me think that shares of JD Sports Fashion (LSE:JD.) offer tremendous value at the moment (9 April).

Based on forecast earnings per share (EPS) of 11.37p for the year ended 31 January 2026 (FY26), the stock’s trading on an extremely attractive 6.5 times earnings. The five-year average (median) is 15.1.

And if analysts’ forecasts prove to be accurate, the sports retailer’s forward P/E ratios are 6.5 (FY27) and 5.9 (FY28).

A challenging market

But remember what I said earlier about a low number being a possible warning sign? Well, it could apply here.

The group’s been growing by buying new stores but its like-for-like (LFL) sales have been falling. During the 48 weeks to 3 January, they were down 2.1% compared to the same period a year earlier. The worst-performing region was the UK with a reported 4% drop.

It’s estimated that Nike’s products account for around half of JD Sports’ sales. But the American sportswear giant’s been struggling lately. There are some early signs that it’s recovering but it’s still not out of the woods.

In addition, concerns have been raised that the British retailer’s core demographic of 18-to-24-year-olds are seeing their living standards affected by artificial intelligence solutions replacing entry-level jobs.

Not all bad

Despite these challenges, I still think the group’s shares are in bargain territory.

Over 60% of the group’s stores are now in North America, which are performing better than its European ones. Also, it’s not totally reliant on Nike. Other brands, Adidas being the most notable one, are doing very well at the moment. This year’s football World Cup could also lift sales.

And JD Sports remains cash generative. With free cash flow of over £400m in FY26, it should have the scope to refresh some of its stores in an attempt to get its LFL sales growing again. The consensus of those analysts that have modelled the group’s cash flow potential reckon the stock’s 26% undervalued.

Weighing everything up, I believe JD Sports is well worth considering by investors today.

The post A P/E ratio of less than 7. Is this a red-hot value share to consider now? appeared first on The Twelfth Magpie.

The recent fall

I note two triggers for the move lower this year. One has been some prominent analyst price downgrades, and the other was cautious guidance from management. Back in February, the research team at Deutsche Bank cut their target price for JD Sports from 95p to 85p. They flagged concerns that JD may be out of step with shifting fashion trends, particularly as consumers rotate away from some of its core styles.

At the same time, Q4 results released in January showed UK and Europe sales fell by 5.3% and 3.4%, respectively. Management warned of “muted market growth” ahead, with profits expected to dip year on year. It’s true that strained consumer finances are causing some to spend less. Furthermore, the business is also heavily exposed to big brands like Nike, and when those suppliers have their own problems (which Nike has) JD feels it too. Its share price is down 11% in the last year.

A positive outlook

Despite all the noise, the underlying business is still growing. North America Q4 revenue rose by 5.3% versus the same period last year. Asia Pacific grew by 9.6%! JD maintains a strong global footprint with thousands of stores worldwide. This means it’s diversified, helping right now even when some regions are underperforming.

It’s also well-positioned to capitalise on the growing athleisure retail trend. Add into the mix the increase in running as a hobby, with the latest results noting “positive momentum in running” sales.

Crucially, when it comes to calling the stock a bargain, I have to refer to the valuation. It has compressed dramatically, with the price-to-earnings ratio at just 5.69. I use 10 as a fair benchmark, so anything below that I’d classify as undervalued. The low ratio suggests investors are factoring in a lot of bad news already for the year ahead. If things don’t turn out as gloomy as some predict, the stock right now looks like a bargain given how much it could rally.

The bottom line

If JD can stabilise profit margins, adapt to changing trends (like the shift towards running brands), and continue to see strong growth in North America, there’s a strong case for the share price to move higher. There’s also an argument that short-term investors have been overly pessimistic, focusing on quarterly wobbles rather than long-term growth potential. Of course, risks relating to underperformance in the UK and Europe remain, but on balance, I believe the stock is the biggest bargain in the FTSE 100 right now and am thinking about buying it myself.

The post Is this the biggest bargain in the FTSE 100 right now? appeared first on The Twelfth Magpie.

So far, we’ve had a correction, defined as a fall of 10%. A crash is a drop of 20%, and we’re nowhere near that today. In fact, in the four trading days before Good Friday (3 April), the FTSE 100 climbed 4.56% on hopes the Iran conflict might ease. The Strait of Hormuz remains largely blocked pressure, the oil price is climbing, and there’s talk of energy shortages. Yet markets remain calm.

Investors simply don’t know

Trying to second-guess stock movements is a mug’s game. Markets absolutely refuse to do what analysts say they will. The Motley Fool strategy is simple. Stay invested, think long term and avoid panic. And if markets do plunge, take advantage of the dip to buy top stocks at lower prices, and with higher yields.

When markets fell during the 2020 pandemic, they rebounded at remarkable speed. The same happened after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Donald Trump’s ‘liberation day’ tariffs triggered panic. It didn’t last. Investors who sold out locked in losses and missed the recovery.

I’m not trying to time a crash, but I’m preparing in case we get one. I’ve sold just two stocks in my SIPP. The first is packaging group Smurfit Westrock. I bought this shortly before it shifted its centre of gravity to the US, which I hadn’t bargained on. I also exited cosmetics specialist Warpaint London as I’d found it too unpredictable. That’s left me with cash in my SIPP. If markets fall further, I’ll go shopping for cut-price shares.

I’m targeting value

One stock I hold and that’s also on my watchlist is JD Sports Fashion (LSE: JD). It’s had a torrid run, down 60% in the last three years. The cost-of-living crisis is the main reason. Inflation has driven up costs, as have UK employer’s National Insurance hikes, but shoppers don’t feel as flush as they were.

Middle East volatility has knocked its shares down another 10% in the last month. It looks staggeringly cheap, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 5.7. There’s no guarantee of a quick recovery. If oil prices go higher shoppers will have even less money in their pockets, and less to spend on trainers and sportswear.

Still, there are positives. JD is returning £200m to shareholders through buybacks in its 2026/27 financial year. It remains a strong global brand with a wide store footprint. It’s still making lots of money, forecasting adjusted pre-tax profit of £849m. Sadly, that’s down from £923m last year.

I’m not expecting a sudden turnaround. Sentiment may stay weak for some time. But this is the kind of stock I’ll consider buying if markets crash.

Playing the long game

I’m holding a diversified mix of shares across sectors, combining growth and income. I’d be happy to hold all of them, for five or 10 years, and with luck longer. I’m also looking forward to my dividends being re-invested at today’s lower prices.

At the same time, I’ve got cash ready to invest if opportunities arise. No one knows whether a crash is coming. But I feel I’m as ready as I can be.

The post If we get a stock market crash next week, I’m ready! appeared first on The Twelfth Magpie.

With this mindset, I think the recent pullback in the index of the UK’s most valuable listed companies means there’s plenty of value to be had. And with their attractive valuations, here are a few stocks that have recently caught my eye.

Finding value

There are lots of ways of identifying cheap shares but probably the most common is the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. As its name suggests, this considers a company’s share price relative to its earnings per share (EPS). In effect, it reveals how much investors are willing to pay for every £1 of profit.

And by looking for stocks with a P/E ratio that’s currently lower than it has been in recent times, it’s possible to identify potentially undervalued stocks. However, a low ratio may indicate a fundamental problem.

But with the five I’ve recently identified I don’t think this is the case. In my opinion, even Diageo — which is experiencing falling revenue and earnings due to changing drinking habits — appears to me to have been over-sold by anxious investors.

Yes, all have suffered as a result of the war in the Middle East but, hopefully, this will be over soon.

Of course, I’d have to do more research before considering whether to invest in each of these five but one that I already own is JD Sports Fashion.

Even better

When I first took a stake, I thought the sports retailer’s shares were cheap. Since then, they’ve fallen significantly in the face of US tariffs and a slowing global economy. And the company’s share price could come under further pressure if artificial intelligence wipes out loads of entry-level roles, those that are typically held by JD Sports’ target demographic of 18-to-24-year-olds.

However, despite these threats, I think the group’s shares are now in bargain territory. The athleisure market’s proven to be very resilient in recent years. And Adidas is demonstrating that a 77-year-old brand can be fashionable with the right products and clever marketing. New entrants are also gaining traction.

Analysts are forecasting EPS of 11.37p for JD Sports’ January 2026 financial year (FY26). This implies a P/E ratio of 6.1 compared to a five-year average of 15.2. Based on forecasts for 2028, the multiple drops to just 5.5.

For FY27-FY28, analysts are expecting free cash flow of over £900m.

With the World Cup round the corner, Nike – a key partner of JD Sports — could get a bit of a boost which, in turn, would help lift the British retailer. But the self-styled ‘King of Trainers’ sells all brands of footwear and clothing so it’s not totally dependent on a change in fortunes for the American sportswear giant.

Personally, with its strong balance sheet and healthy cash generation, I think JD Sports is a value stock to consider holding for the long term. The group doesn’t have any immediate plans to buy more stores so I think it will be able to use its spare cash to refresh its existing footprint. On balance, I think the group – like many others on the FTSE 100 – is attractively priced at the moment.
