Looked it up.

-18.34 %?

That's quite a lot.

[Norbert Rassragr]

That's like Tesla stock, but over a slightly longer time.

It’s worse than that (or better depending on your perspective…):

Definitely no coin coming our way for the bills now then and the push to sell Brittain will ramp up.

By the way have Hyam, Travis and Tronstad been offered their contract extensions yet ?

Way more to this than the farcical court case and always has been i hope the bank calls in its VH debt !

Maybe we should all have a whip round and buy venkys.

We can asset strip the fuck out of it and spend all the money on Rovers.

Great news!!

Remember the portion of the publicly quoted company they still own is a tiny fraction of the family wealth.

Their stubbornness knows no bounds, the faultless business empire that Daddy left them which funds their life starting to crumble would be our best hope. Long may it continue.

That is not going to happen and despite Rovers and extravagant birthday parties, the "kids" plus Mr Desai have done much better at managing and growing their inheritance than Jack Walker's heirs have with their's.

How much is liquidity ?

Also they don't put it into Rovers so do they put it back into the core businesses or just borrow more ?

To be fair their company credit rating as off last year was still strong but carries the warnings about the volatility of their market, the rise in costs AND it mentioned them still having fund a massive loss making foreign entity !

Oh and the seizure of assets.

So owning and funding the football club is now potentially having an impact on their main business if not their overall personal wealth.  

They've stopped funding it but won't stop owning it.

The share price has always been volatile. Glad to see it dropping but it is still quite a lot higher than it was when they first bought the club. They benefitted massively from the beef ban in India a few years ago and their shares sky rocketed by about 400% so they are still in a fairly good position I would think. Sadly

[Tomphil2]

Their costs have rocketed post covid/Ukriane like most other businesses and it has impacted their profit margins significantly although i think they still corner the market over their across the whole chicken spectrum.

Investing in it though is probably a lot less attractive than it was 5 years ago.

Indian Chicken feed is a classic business with a moat. Difficult to exploit for profit maximisation but Venky's has a national logistics set up nobody else is remotely likely to want to compete against because of the low ticket/low margin and limited opportunity for diversification- there is only so much penicillin etc. a chicken is able to pop down.

All very true but these businesses are like super tankers once they start moving in a particular direction it takes a long time to turn them around. All the recent evidence suggests things are declining at present
