Games Workshop group plc (GAW)

Games Workshop is the largest and the most successful tabletop fantasy and futuristic battle-games company in the world. Our major brands are Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000. In addition, we hold a global licence from New Line Cinema for a tabletop battle-game based on director Peter Jackson's BAFTA and Academy award winning film trilogy, The Lord of the Rings.

Our business is about helping mighty armies to meet headlong on the field of battle. At our HQ in Nottingham, in the UK, we design, manufacture and retail the vast range of Citadel Miniatures plastic and metal soldiers and rulebooks, which are the foundation of an almost infinite hobby. The UK manufacturing operation in Nottingham is complemented by a production facility at our despatch warehouse in Memphis, TN, USA.

At the heart of the Hobby are the millions of gamers aged 12 upwards, who spend many of their waking hours collecting, creating, painting and building up the armies which they will go on to command on a carefully prepared table top battlefield.
Tabletop wargaming

It's all about two people facing each other across a battlefield, each attempting to move their models into position to fire upon their opponent's force or attack them in hand-to-hand combat. The victor is decided by a combination of skill and luck with the players rolling dice to determine whether an arrow hits or a foe is struck down.

The Company

Games Workshop is a publicly quoted company with direct sales operations in the UK, the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan and Australia. With over 70% of sales coming from outside of the UK the Group is now truly international. GW remains a vertically integrated company, retaining control over every aspect of design, manufacture, distribution and retail of our models and rulebooks. Products are sold through our own chain of 340+ Hobby centres and by more than 3,700 independent toy and hobby shops around the world. These outlets are complemented by our growing mail order and online sales businesses.

Anyone subscribing to the MoneyAM Level 2 platform please take note that most days it is not reporting the correct Trade High nor Trade Low information and "some days" not reporting the correct Opening Price or Closing Price.

The reason is because MoneyAM's Level 2 system is not correctly sensing the Auto Trades or Ordinary Trades correctly so is wrongly reporting them

TRADING STATEMENT
 
 
 
Following on from the Group's update in September, sales to date have continued strongly.  Given the high operational gearing of the business, any movement in sales is directly reflected in profits.  Sales and profits to date therefore continue to be well above the same period in the prior year.

I've looked at this many times in the 5 or 6 pound area and thought no, but just looking now it's an incredible performance dream . just shows if you stick with some shares it pays off .

dreamcatcher - 02 Dec 2017 12:27 - 73 of 103

VICTIM, the start of 2014 they had a bit of a wobble. It is hard keeping your nerve as the sp rises and indeed falls. Hard to believe that so many people purchase through this company, like a hobby.
