SP stuffed now. Big downtrend. Company struggling in climate (like all retailers). Wonder how low it will go
Asked myself whether MHJ have ever been good …ever lived up to the hype they churn out.
Performance wise over the last 10 years answer is NO
Share price wise only 2020 through 2021 ……when you made a killing ……well done, even if it was luck
You going to havecanother go? Hoping the market will get excited força year or so before the inevitable let down.
They did alright recently with their covid windfalls. Made lots of cash.. bought some shares back, paid some divs, bought a business even.
They didnt completely pi$$ it into the wind like say WHS did with the market and T7 blowing up.
MHJ will always be on the watch list for another lucky 2020-2021 period. No doubt it will come around again. MHJ been in business coming up 40 years. Just need to be patient and watch
Retail is a tough business. How often do you hear about these big brand names going into liquidation? Usually because they dont pivot to the new trends. online, click and collect, virtual shopping etc.
Like when Blockbuster had serious competition from netflix it diudnt pivot it instead tried to defend its current model by selling candy in their stores....
MHJ to their credit have shrunk their brick and mortar store footprint and expanded their online business.
Additionally they opened up new brands like Medley to get their share of the fake jewelry sector.
MHJ been around awhile like i say and i feel like they will survive and punters will get the chance to make heaps of money again on this cyclical
