The Guardian has published a report on WH Smith which includes analysis from Barclays. Included is this about their international business:
For International, we estimate that the division will generate around £2m of earnings in 2014. However, with 118 stores now open we believe that earnings will grow to £9m by 2017 as store productivity builds and 30-40 new stores are added each year.
There continues to be plenty of chatter here in Australia that WH Smith will soon have more acquisitions under its belt.
