Going back to WHSmith. It seems a bit of a missed opportunity that they insisted on becoming leading "travel retailers" when they played such an important role in the early days of UK's electronics market. What do you guys think?

An image that takes me back to simpler times, and the early days of Football Manager! Do you remember the "Computer know-how" sections at WHSmith?

What shop always tells me I am back in the UK, and at the same time connects me to when Addictive Games and Football Manager became viable?

Was literally listening to this very episode as my train pulled into Brisbane Central station yesterday and I walked past this 😳

Mad that I can pop into a #WHSmith on the other side of the world but won’t be able to do the same in a UK High Street when I’m back over there.

Well, having popped into the bank, that W H Smith rebrand is stunningly underwhelming and, to me. associated with shoes

Let's replace an iconic name with an anonymous name and keep everything else the same. That'll drive footfall.

Doing well tonight - found a bug in #DisneyPlus iPad app showing 16+ content to a 12+ account and #WHSmith seems to be allowing its dev site to be indexed in DuckDuckGo. Both bug reports submitted to their ‘contact us’, sure there will be mild panic tomorrow …

The exterior of a stationers shop, with the sign TGJones above the window, it was formerly known as WHSmith.

You’ll always be WHSmith to me (just like Opal Fruits, Marathon, Jif, Twitter and Norwich Union).

This shows the mismatch between actual money missing at #WHSmith and so-called market value. Each share cost £1100 before the fall so an average sell-off can cause a massive loss of market #capitalization. Was anyone in the know short on the shares?
The good admiral would be turning in his grave.

Hedge funds picked WH Smith as a top short before share slump, Hazeltree data shows LONDON (Reuters) -Hedge funds and speculators picked WH Smith as their top target for short selling in July, before the British travel retailer announced an accounting error on Thursday that sent its shares tumbling more than 45%. WH Smith lowered its annual profit outlook on Thursday after a review revealed earnings had been overstated in its North America division. Speculators in July picked WH Smith as their top target among UK and European small-cap stocks for bets on a share price drop, a research report from Hazeltree also on Thursday showed. Hedge funds that had to disclose such bets in August to the UK regulator’s public filings because of their size included Citadel Advisors and Man Group (LON:EMG). Analysts have cut target prices for WH Smith’s stock and have pointed to how mounting debt has weighed on the company’s cash reserves, compounding pressures from global economic uncertainty affecting the travel sector. A financial review identified an overstatement of around 30 million pounds ($40 million) in expected headline trading profit, WH Smith said, mainly due to supplier income in North America being booked too early. WH Smith, which in June sold its UK high street business to become purely a travel retailer, has been rapidly expanding in North America, which contributed about 20% of group revenue in fiscal 2024. The retailer said it now expects group pre-tax profit for the year ending August 31 to be around 110 million pounds, compared to analysts’ estimates of 156.9 million pounds, according to LSEG data. Entertainment ticket sales companies, luxury drinks companies and semi-conductor manufacturers saw large portions of their stocks borrowed for the purpose of shorting, Hazeltree’s Shortside Crowdedness Report showed. Citadel and Man Group declined to comment. WH Smith did not immediately respond. The fastest way to find out is with our Fair Value calculator.

WH Smith cuts profit forecast after accounting error in North America unit (Reuters) -British travel retailer WH Smith lowered its full-year profit outlook on Thursday after a review revealed earnings had been overstated due to premature recognition of supplier income in its North American division. The financial review identified an overstatement of around 30 million pounds ($40.34 million) in expected headline trading profit, WH Smith said, mainly due to supplier income in North America being recognized too early. The error prompted a cut in profit outlook at the division to about 25 million pounds, down from previous forecast of about 55 million pounds. The retailer now expects group pre-tax profit for the year ending August 31 to be around 110 million pounds. In April, WH Smith had forecast annual profit to be in line with market expectations, which were around 182.6 million pounds, according to LSEG data. ($1 = 0.7437 pounds) Before you buy stock in SMWH, consider this: ProPicks AI are 6 easy-to-follow model portfolios created by Investing.com for building wealth by identifying winning stocks and letting them run.

Im not saying that I have less than zero sympathy for the financial predicament of #WHSmith #TGJones or whatever the hell they are called now, but today they tried to charge me £3.39 for a standard bottle of diet coke at Watford Junction station...

Dick Turpin had less shame

Finished this 500 piece #WHSmith #jigsawpuzzle Honestly it's not a great brand with loads of false fits & peeling design if I so much as looked at some pieces. I nearly gave up I found it so hard. Pleased I kept going.
