SUM - Summerset Group

Hi all. My latest column published on my Substack, Just the Business, takes a look at the NZX-listed retirement operators and how they rank, including that Summerset is likely to overtake Ryman as the largest in the sector in a few years. The headline is: Mirror, Mirror on the wall, which is the biggest retirement village operator?

found looking at Summerset made me realise RYM are superior.
thought RYM shareholders would be more stable in the next year or two.I suspose

Very interesting. I have seen everyone is reporting on other retirement stocks. In Napier I have heard that Summerset are offering redundancies to staff. Any ideas why??
