The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Well Jim, you have been served… 92£ is on the board today...

Now down to £87.66. About the same price as it was five years ago.
Revenue was about £2bn in 2020, now almost £9bn.
Operating income in the same period from £549m to £1.45bn.
Diluted EPS £1.57 in 2020, £2.88 in 2024, though of course it's not a straight line.

I'm not sure why SG&A has soared.

The lowest one-year price forecast among 15 astrologers (sorry, analysts) is £11.75, up 13.5%

Ironically these figures are from my paid subscription to FT.com, who get their data from...LSEG. So I guess I'm a client of theirs.

Jim
