If you'd invested in: Fenner and Domino's Pizza
Engineering company Fenner has regained its composure after a share-price slide in 2014, while Domino’s Pizza is failing to deliver for shareholders.
If you'd invested in
Fenner (LSE: FENR) is a manufacturing and engineering company that produces industrial conveyor belting and silicone products. Its shares slumped 50% in 2014, but the company has quickly regained its composure and operating profits for the financial year ending 31 August 2017 look set to surpass the expectations of £37.4m. The company will also benefit from a reduced interest charge as the group during the period repaid $90m of 5.8% loan notes from cash deposits.
Be glad you didn't
Domino's Pizza Group (LSE: DOM) holds the exclusive master franchise to own, operate and franchise Domino's Pizza stores in the UK and Ireland. The firm, which generates 75% of its sales online, has seen its shares plunge as a result of increasing competition from online order-aggregation companies such as Deliveroo and Just Eat. After disappointing first-half results, the group has been tipped as a bid target.
