Badly undervalued by markets. I look at retail and travel stocks which are moving higher than WH Smiths.

I completely agree. with there high Street market almost dead but the net profit they make in airports. every UK has one, and I'm guilty for always going before a flight to stock up on the plane. also buying in to the USA it can only be good news. great path planned ahead for this old company.
