sorry whats the reason.. You saying the fall is to do with a special dividend, thus devaluing the company

[phsycho] 30/1/2012 10:16

Dived in at 158.. hopefully will settle at 170 gtzz for those with the Divi.

Nice bowl and the bottom in imo - trading update due in 10 days or so. Seemed to be a lot of people showing off CPW type presents they had got for xmas when I was out and about over the holidays, imo.

Carphone Warehouse to return cash
By Malar Velaigam , 07 November 2011

Company calendar
Carphone Warehouse announced a major shake-up alongside its latest half-year results, including plans to shelve its 11 'big box' stores in the UK and the disposal of its stake in its North American Best Buy Mobile venture to US partner Best Buy for £838m.

The decision to shut the 11 UK megastores came after their losses swelled to £46.7m in the past six months (from £28.8m a year earlier), and further cash costs of up to £75m and non-cash asset writedowns of up to £45m are expected as the business is wound down over the course of the year. The introduction of 24-month mobile contracts also saw earnings halve at its CPW Europe business, and meant that earnings in Best Buy Europe – its 50:50 joint venture with Best Buy – slumped 69 per cent to £18.3m.

However, analysts welcomed news of the UK closures as well as the £813m that will be returned to shareholders after the US disposal, worth an estimated 170p a share, with holders able to choose between receiving income or capital via a 'B' share scheme. Good news also came in the form of a new venture with Best Buy, Global Connect, which aims to replicate the successful Best Buy Mobile model in emerging markets such as Mexico and China through partnerships with major local retailers.

I guess mupptes just take it the bum, that 11% rise was sold off with less that £500K trade in 20 mins, wiping 160M. MMs have orders to fill

£1,5bn mcap and £830M coming our way.

[joe moon] 07/11/2011 12:41

spiked up as dj would say

[spob] 07/11/2011 10:55

Are they gonna close the best buy website or just the shops ?

[wattene] 20/10/2011 16:18

All depends on Best Buy's decision as to what to do. My feeling is that it is now time to sell - I put a note to myself to sell at 407. and took not notice, so if I put it here, then perhaps I will do something!!

[joe moon] 05/10/2011 14:48

any buyers for xmas

[joe moon] 30/9/2011 12:51

[prokartace] 18/4/2011 12:12
