Regent Inns

Article Abstract:

Regent Inns has had a difficult year and its stock price has dropped following a profit warning. The company is investing in its Walkabout brand of entertainment venues, and this should bring a good return on capital. The company's unbranded pubs have performed well considering the difficult conditions for the sector. The company is selling a 49% stake in Jongleurs bars, which should release funds that could be invested in the Walkabout chain.
