Games Workshop Group PLC (LSE:GAW) has had a strong showing on the London Stock Exchange in 2023 for what is ostensibly one of the more discretionary retail chains in the UK
Year to date, shares in the tabletop miniatures gaming manufacturer and Warhammer intellectual property owner are up over 27%, netting the group a £3.7bn valuation.
Can this upside continue after the Nottinghan-based company publishes its full-year results on Monday, July 24?
If its trading preview posted in June is anything to go go, then maybe.
Back then, Games Workshop said its full-year core revenues should come in a £440mln, marking a 14% year-on-year increase.
With that in mind, licensing income is expected to fall slightly, so investors are expected to want to hear a game plan in this regard.
Profit before tax is expected to come in 8% higher at £170mln.
At the time of writing, Games Workshop was changing hands at 11,330p per share, with city analysts maintaining a buy rating on the stock in the run-up to the results.
