"FT Article on Warhammer" Topic

Today's FT Weekend has a small article in its magazine on Warhammer. Mostly an article none of us would find surprising or "wow'. However its opening paragraphs do a very very brief history and state that as well as now being established in the FYTSE 100, GW now has a larger capitalisation than easyJet and JJB Sports. The comparison with another retailer is obvious enough, but to compare with EasyJet and those rather expensive flying machines is very interesting indeed.

What is an "FT Weekend"?

Thanks, Bill. An interesting article. Currently trading at $27.98 USD per share according to the internet.

Just musing really, but is anyone aware of any overall analysis of the wargaming industry? How much of an outlier is GW?

My sense is that a lot of wargame companies are still one-person or 'mom & pop' set-ups – the old 'labour of love' trope – but there are also some well established big players as well.

Surprised its not behind their firewall !
The FT Weekend, is the w/e edition of the FT.
Its one of the only remaining broadsheets now a couple of them have gone down the pan.

I buy hard copy for many reasons, not least as a broadsheet its good for covering surfaces to paint figs on, and of course, to go under the cat's litter tray, feeding station…

Stock price is doing rather better than $28 USD per share:

It appears that I was looking at GW American Depository, whatever that is.

Hmm – should have bought some stock; would help pay for those Horus Heresy minis

Holy cheese, it's almost as high as Apple!

I just don't see it… but wish I had bought some thirty years ago. Heck, twenty.

I guess this means that they aren't as dumb as some seem to believe.
