WTW - Weight Watchers

Nice jump A/H - Weight Watchers stock rockets toward 5-year high after profit and sales beat, raised outlook - http://www.marketwatch.com/story/we...d-outlook-2017-08-03?siteid=yhoof2&yptr=yahoo

 

Compared to NTRI this has 100% more profits/sales, yet only 30% higher market cap. Don't know if that means WTW rises to meet NTRI or NTRI falls.

 

New 52 week high.

No longer being called "Weight" Watchers. Seems they will now go by the letters WW.
Just like KFC is just KFC and no longer "Kentucky Fried Chicken".
Of course, the funny thing is saying "weight" is a lot easier than saying "double-u". No one's going to call them WW.

Note that the former "Weight Watchers" now trades as WW, and WTW was taken by Willis Towers (which used to be traded under WLTW).
So the first post in this thread that shows the chart for WTW is no longer for "Weight Watchers".

Here's the "Weight Watchers" chart:


There are a couple of wonder drugs available now for weight loss (Mounjaro, Ozempic, likely others too). The days of "Weight Watchers" may be numbered.
