What a hoot!

Bill Gates selling to the Wellcome Trust - presumably they will receive a large donation from the foundation in return!

Doing the opposite to IC usually works.

All this is a load of empty shops leases not making profit

This looks set to go bust in 2017

[lauders] 17/12/2016 00:03

Not a holder here anymore. Took the hit and moved on. Wish you luck and hope it turns for those still in, or if you are taking the time to take an initial stake, that it works out for you too! Main reason for posting now is to say that I believe IC just said CPR were a buy. Read into that what you will!

Great shame......K

Seems the big boys are finally losing faith and abandoning ship. Has the old 'taking it private' idea shown up here recently?

Added a few this morning. A few green shoots in management strategy, and the bringing forward of further investment look encouraging.

[tr65] 13/12/2016 08:36

Too many 'challengings'. Where's the timber?

[gleach23] 13/12/2016 08:10

Also cautioned with ...

"We have had a challenging first half - the full impact of the UK decision to leave the EU remains unclear; consumer demand remains uneven; the market is extremely competitive and the impact of currency movements have combined to give us substantial trading headwinds. To address these challenges and revitalise the business, we have a programme of activities underway, but these will take time to deliver their full effect."

The message seems consistent with the recent TU - bad news priced in but jury's out on a recovery until this programme of activities bears fruit.

housing market slows

new low

[blondeamon] 13/12/2016 07:53

We have had a promising start to the second half, with
like-for-like sales in the UK up 2.6% in the six weeks
to 10 December 2016. Rest of Europe has also made an encouraging
start with like-for-like sales up 5.9%, on a local currency
basis over the same period. This provides confidence that
our strategy remains on track and will deliver.


Accelerating their new stores this year by 50%, lfl great after refurbishment.

Very good progress.

"Challenging first half

Revenue decreased 3.8% to £222.3m (H1 FY16: £231.2m). (note 1)


TIMBERRR!!!!!



140p today?

[only who?] 12/12/2016 21:10

150p or 250p tomorrow? Possibly both at some part of the day. Prefer to be a CPR watcher these days, having lost far too much as an 'investor'.

[blondeamon] 12/12/2016 16:15

GLA tomorrow

[blondeamon] 11/12/2016 19:29

Results Tuesday, we know UK markedly down (86% of sales) and EU ahead of expectations (14%).

If profits are not hit that much (around 5.5-5.7m£ IMO expected) and progress on re-branding is positive this could mark the bottom. The key is how the rebranding goes and if these stores see a good rate of sales growth. Applied to all its estate when finished, the impact should be maximised.

Trustpilot and twitter customer sentiment is already marking up significantly in the past 12 months. CPR used to be the most horrible experience but step by step customers are trusting it again as the experience becomes better. £/Eur still a big concern here.

It's going to be a long journey, one for the long term.

Not Sure!!!!!!!!
