Strong trading update lifts Wetherspoon shares despite cost pressures
Stock Movers said Wetherspoon shares rose over 8% as investors focused on a strong start to the new year despite falling profits and higher costs.[1][2]

Stock Movers described Wetherspoons as having outperformed the broader market for 48 consecutive months, supporting the positive market reaction.
Paul Scott called it a lovely business but said he would not chase the price higher, while also identifying panic sell-offs as buying opportunities.
