The pandemic was a golden era for sporting goods retailers – people locked out of the gym and stuck at home drove record sales of running shoes, athleisure wear, and exercise equipment. But now that life's back to normal, those stocks don't seem so sporty. There's a silver lining to that though: digging into industries that have fallen out of fashion can turn up some serious investment opportunities. Take JD Sports Fashion, for example: its share price has taken a tumble and now looks like a steal, based on key valuation metrics. In today's podcast, Guy sits down with Finimize analyst Russell Burns to unpack why this $5.4 billion sporting goods giant could deliver a 42% upside for investors.Try Finimize ProSubscribe to the Finimize Newsletter: https://finimize.com/

The UK economy faced mixed signals this week as inflation slowed unexpectedly in December, dropping to 2.5%, the lowest since early 2021, driven by lower energy and food costs. This has heightened expectations for Bank of England (“BoE”) rate cuts, with the market pricing in three reductions this year. However, core inflation remained stable, and economic growth is stagnating, raising concerns about stagflation. Business confidence plunged to a two-year low amid higher taxes and weak demand, while large firms plan hiring cuts and scaled-back investments following the Chancellor's £25 billion social security charge hike. UK trade growth prospects remain subdued, with Boston Consulting Group projecting just 0.7% annual growth until 2033, hindered by Brexit and global supply chain shifts. Retailers, facing rising taxes and wages, are hiking prices, adding to consumer pressures...Stocks featured:Genus, JD Sports and Trustpilot GroupTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

The AJ Bell Money & Markets podcast team start this week's episode with some good news as UK inflation took a surprise dip in December to 2.5%. Does this mean the chances of a February rate cut have jumped? Rachel Reeves has fought back in a Commons speech to defend her growth plans and although UK housebuilders have had a boost, other big companies continue to issue their own warnings. [01:02] Danni Hewson and Charlene Young discuss how the UK isn't the only country facing increased borrowing costs after recent bond yield hikes, and they also chat about what higher gilt yields mean for personal finances. [08:37] Updates from BP, JD Sports and PageGroup painted a gloomy outlook but good news from Permission gave UK housebuilders a boost, even before a second bounce arrived following the inflation news. Charlene stays with housing, with a new IFS report on how more young people are residing in the Hotel of Mum and Dad. [23:10] Donald Trump will be back in the White House next week, so Danni spoke to Yoojeong Oh, manager of the Abrdn Asian Income Fund, to find out how tariffs might impact Asian markets and where opportunities for income generation lie [27:56]. A TikTok ban in the US is also due next week, but is there any hope for a reprieve? [41:53] Charlene finishes up with a timely reminder of the looming self-assessment deadline. [46:52]

Deze aflevering hoor je wat het voor je tech-aandelen betekent, dat die onderzoeken mogelijk van tafel gaan. Ook hebben we het over de Amerikaanse economie. Trump erft een goed draaiende economie, zeggen economen. Ze roepen hem op om vooral niet zijn hervormingen door te voeren. Want dan kan het breken.

BP advierte que la menor producción de petróleo y gas en el cuarto trimestre tendrá un impacto desfavorable en su beneficio de entre 100 y 300 millones de dólares, al tiempo que anticipa debilidad en el mercado del crudo. Pero BP no es la única.. Shell también informó de unas menores ventas y beneficios comerciales de sus principales divisiones energéticas el último trimestre. Intesa Sanpaolo realiza su primera compra de bitcoin al contado, comprando aproximadamente un millón de euros de la criptomoneda. La Comisión Europea estaría evaluando sus casos contra Apple, Google y Meta pero insiste en que la inminente llegada de Donald Trump a la Casa Blanca no afecta a su compromiso de hacer cumplir las leyes. Y las acciones de la británica JD Sports pierden más de un 7% en bolsa después de advertir que, pese a la buena campaña de Navidad, los beneficios estarán por debajo de las previsiones de la compañía. Y estaremos pendientes del discurso de política general del primer ministro francés François Bayrou en la Asamblea Nacional. Hablaremos con Helena de Arcos, de MVGM, sobre cómo se preparan los centros comerciales en los periodos de rebajas. En Expansión y Ciclo, el Tesoro capta 2.540 millones en letras a tres y nueve meses con resultado mixto y el gobierno confirma el nombramiento de Alvaro Fernández Heredia como nuevo presidente de Renfe. Asuntos que debatiremos en la Tertulia de Cierre de Mercados con Juan Pablo Calzada, economista y analista financiero, y Antonio Alvarez-Ossorio, del despacho Alvarez-Ossorio Miller.

The legendary Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 is getting a legit retail release. Tom Sachs and Nike are back working together. Which will be the biggest sneakers this year? And will some of these highly anticipated pairs—like the “Banned” Air Jordan 1—not live up to expectations? Co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty discuss those topics on their first episode back in the new year. Also, Brendan live cops sneakers, Joe swings by JD Sports to do some buying of his own, and more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Chaque année, en Angleterre, il y a une tradition à Noël: regarder et commenter les pubs à la télévision ! Elles sont devenues un véritable phénomène culturel, mêlant émotion, créativité et surtout… des budgets colossaux. Décryptage de ces machines à sous. De notre correspondante au Royaume-Uni,Cette année, le très attendu spot publicitaire des grands magasins John Lewis met en scène une femme qui, en cherchant un cadeau pour sa sœur, revit les moments clés de leur relation.Le budget ? Il n'est jamais clairement dévoilé, mais il tourne autour de 7 millions de livres, soit près de 9 millions d'euros.C'est qu'il faut tenir la compétition de la meilleure publicité, car chaque année, dans les bureaux de Sainsbury's, Tesco au Royaume-Uni, mais aussi chez Coca-Cola ou encore Amazon, un chargé de campagne a une grande responsabilité : gagner la course de Noël.Pourquoi cette pression ?Pour créer un lien émotionnel avec le consommateur qui associe la marque à des souvenirs positifs. Mais aussi, parce qu'une bonne publicité rapporte jusqu'à 20 fois l'argent investi.Pour Jason Gale, le fondateur des London Lifestyle Awards, c'est le moment de l'année où il faut tout miser sur l'émotion.« Les gens achètent avec le cœur, et Noël est une période très sentimentale. Les publicités intelligentes comme celle de John Lewis parlent d'émotions. Elles sont si fortes qu'elles sont comme des mini-films dont on se souvient pendant toute l'année. À mon avis, ça vaut chaque centime dépensé. »Une publicité pour faire vibrer une corde sensibleL'an dernier, les dépenses publicitaires autour de Noël ont généré près de 8 milliards de livres pour les marques britanniques. Pour Grace Jacobson, de l'agence Publicis, c'est toujours une question d'argent, mais aussi l'occasion de rêver un peu. « À Noël, les gens veulent s'évader. Ils veulent voir une publicité qui les transporte ailleurs, qui leur fait ressentir quelque chose, que ce soit de la nostalgie, de la joie ou toute autre émotion qui éveille quelque chose en eux. Des marques comme John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Lidl ou JD Sports, qui ont mis l'accent sur la famille et les différentes formes qu'elle peut prendre, réussissent particulièrement bien à capter cet esprit. Et puis il a quelque chose de vrai, en phase avec ce que les gens vivent, notamment au Royaume-Uni. C'est une période où les publicités ne semblent pas uniquement dire "achetez, achetez, achetez", mais cherchent plutôt à faire vibrer une corde sensible. Même si, au bout du compte, l'objectif reste de vendre un produit et de générer des bénéfices, et de décrocher le prix de la meilleure publicité. »Ces trésors de publicité sont aussi sur Internet, commentés, classés, certains ont même leur page Wikipédia. Et c'est peut-être ça, les nouveaux contes de Noël.À lire aussiLes «mince pies», dessert fétiche des Britanniques à Noël

Una de las grandes historias de éxito en el mundo digital de los últimos 20 años. Xavier nos cuenta su trayectoria hasta decidirse a lanzar su propia empresa, su crecimiento desde cero hasta llegar a facturar más de 150 millones de €, el proceso de venta a JD Sports y lo que sucede después de la venta.

In this Fast Five Short we discuss how JD Sports has recently launched a new pre-owned shoe shopping platform called Rejd, aiming to provide consumers with significant discounts on gently used footwear. This initiative positions JD Sports uniquely in the aftermarket space as one of the few retail-owned platforms, rather than being brand-led. While the concept has potential, concerns arise about profitability, as similar resale platforms have struggled to maintain sustainable business models. The discussion highlights the challenges of managing inventory and logistics in the resale market, questioning how JD Sports can ensure financial success in this competitive landscape. Ultimately, the hosts recognize JD Sports' innovative approaches and their growing presence in the U.S. retail market, suggesting that they are a brand to watch as they navigate this evolving space. The launch of Rejd by JD Sports signifies a transformative step toward sustainable retail, providing consumers with an opportunity to buy pre-owned shoes at attractive prices. This initiative distinguishes JD Sports from other retailers, as it is one of the few to embrace an aftermarket platform not directly tied to a specific sneaker brand. Through Rejd, JD Sports aims to offer a wide variety of footwear options, ranging from casual sandals to high-performance shoes, ensuring that they cater to diverse consumer needs. Each product undergoes a thorough inspection and cleaning process, along with a grading system that informs buyers about the shoe's condition, enhancing the shopping experience and building trust in the quality of pre-owned items. The discussion explores both the excitement and the apprehensions surrounding JD Sports' new venture. Speaker B shares insights on the potential advantages, particularly JD's access to data from original shoe purchases, which could streamline the resale process and reduce waste by reintroducing products into the market. However, the conversation also addresses the precarious nature of profitability in the resale sector, citing challenges faced by platforms like ThredUp and Depop. The speakers delve into the economics of inventory management, questioning whether JD Sports can maintain a profitable balance while holding stock and managing returns. This tension reflects broader issues within the resale industry, as companies grapple with the implications of sustainability versus financial viability. As the episode unfolds, it becomes evident that JD Sports is not just testing the waters; they are making bold moves in the retail space. The speakers acknowledge the need for JD to remain operationally vigilant as they innovate and expand their offerings. With a proactive leadership team and a commitment to exploring new retail strategies, JD Sports stands at the forefront of potential change in the footwear market. Their willingness to experiment with new concepts like Rejd could position them as leaders in a sector that demands creativity and adaptability, fostering a retail environment that embraces both sustainability and profitability. Takeaways: JD Sports launched Rejd, a platform for pre-owned shoes at discounted prices. Rejd stands out as a retailer-owned resale platform, unlike typical sneaker brand outlets. All shoes on Rejd undergo inspection and cleaning, ensuring quality for buyers. There's concern about profitability for JD Sports' Rejd amidst struggles in resale markets. The model involves managing returned products, raising questions about long-term financial viability. JD Sports is taking innovative approaches in retail, aiming to differentiate itself in the market.

And the Republicans go after Kamala's...laugh?!Kamala, Kahmaala, Kohmohla - Jemma and Marina open with a little lesson in how best to pronounce the name of the woman who is getting Republicans all hot under the collar over in the US.But first, domestic issues - with a focus on the Labour rebellion that saw seven Labour MPs lose the whip after voting against the Government in regards to the much loathed two-child benefit cap. Might this fallout not be as black and white as it first seemed? Owen Jones certainly didn't seem to think so...Then we cross state-side, where the VP-pick, JD Vance (or JD Sports as Jemma likes to call him as "he' a massive mug") has decided to insult swathes of the population by being insulting to "childless cat ladies". Then Jemma and Marina pour over our very own UK homegrown Trumpsters, like Russell Brand and Nigel Farage - thank goodness we have national treasures like Kathy Burke to tell it like it is!Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcastPatreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawlTwitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast

Is the “often imitated, never duplicated” influential epicenter of all ingestible CPG categories ready to disrupt its next market? And while the “best and brightest sports nutrition brands are now (or will soon start) competing against large CPG incumbents in every functional food and beverage subcategory over time…this isn't another content piece about the competitive landscape “changing of the guard” happening within mega functional CPG markets like energy, hydration, or protein. Instead, I want to provide further support for another one of my ongoing sports/active nutrition predictions…which is more brands will begin disrupting the global stock markets. The inspiration for this content came from reading last week's UK financial news piece that confirmed earlier speculations around UK-based sports nutrition brand Applied Nutrition moving forward with plans for a potential late-2024 IPO on the London Stock Exchange…seeking to value the company at more than $1.25 billion. For those that are unfamiliar with the sports nutrition brand, it began in 2014 when Thomas Ryder acquired one of the small struggling supplement lines he stocked in his specialty supplement store…believing its main product Critical Mass was being marketed incorrectly. Applied Nutrition would then go through an extensive strategic overhaul of every element from redeveloping products to rebranding and even shifting production away from Canada and into Belgium before deciding to build a manufacturing facility a year later. In 2021, JD Sports (the British sports-fashion retailer) made a significant minority investment that valued the company at about $100 million. The following calendar year, Applied Nutrition sustained the momentum by landing its first major grocery listings in the UK at ASDA, launching its Body Fuel line extension that started with an RTD hydration drink to take advantage of the “PRIME Effect,” and creating its first overseas subsidiary in the United States. But about 9ish months after entering the U.S. market, “All Black Everything” became (from what I know) the first sports nutrition brand headquartered outside of North America to land on all 4600 or so Walmart locations across the country. With successful large retail expansion also happening in the UK market, the beginning of 2024 saw the Applied Nutrition IPO rumor mill start up. And this was further supported when the company brought in Andy Bell to be Chairman, a seasoned entrepreneur that had taken his own company public six years ago…and hired an investment bank to advise on the process. I'll explain that despite respecting the asset-heavy build model, consistent top- and bottom-line growth, and overall ethics of the founder/company...I believe the reported valuation sought is more inflated than the Michelin Man! Also, the final section will breakdown arguably the most important market for Applied Nutrition, which is also the largest in terms of global supplement sales...as big changes have happened recently (or will begin happening soon) within the U.S. subsidiary of Applied Nutrition.

W/C 13th May 2024It turns out that I have used Complicated before as an episode title, normally when I realise that I try and find something different - but bearing in mind there are two tie-ins this week, I decided to bend my self-imposed rules slightly.If you are going to fully immerse yourself in my week, then you are going to need to start by navigating to the root cause of the problem which is a page on the JD Sports website after which you are going to have to have a look at a couple of pages on the Birkenstock website, this one and then this one.Once you have done this, as well as listening to the explanatory notes you should be able to empathise a little with my week.Stay safe.Complicated - Avril LavigneWho replaced Avril Lavigne podcastTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.
