A stock watcher hypothesises that many UK listed companies including WOSG may be vulnerable to takeover bids, as they appear undervalued with a market cap of £1.9 billion against a target of £3 billion sales by 2028.

Goldman Sachs has upgraded Watches of Switzerland to a strong buy with a price target of £5.50.

A stock watcher observes potential sector consolidation, citing BHP’s offer for AAL and suggesting that it might be an opportune time for acquisitions while share prices are low.

A discussion is made about the affordability of WOSG, mentioning an ambitious plan to double turnover and EBITDA over four years, with a note that the share price is forming a potential double bottom.

Comments are made expressing skepticism about the value of long waiting lists for high-end watches compared to other investments, like stab-proof vests in London due to safety concerns.

Mention is made of the geographical distribution of shops being primarily in the UK, Europe, and the US, which could influence business stability or growth.

Market cap comparisons suggest WOSG is significantly undervalued, being half its revenue, and listed as a potential takeover in financial news.

A stock watcher argues that luxury watches are a better or equal investment compared to physical gold, noting minimal depreciation and ease of sale.

A contrasting viewpoint is presented, criticising the idea that luxury watches are a good investment, highlighting large margins for dealers and significant price depreciation after purchase.

The growing wealth of the rich and sustained demand for luxury watches likely will stabilise prices, suggesting a favourable future for luxury watch retailers.

Directors of a company are noted to hold a significant amount of shares, bought at higher prices, making a bid plausible, and the P/E ratio reaching 6.5 indicates a potentially excellent long-term hold.
