Good to see Shroders increasing their holding.

I'm in. Love a 52 week breakout especially when the fundamentals are strong. Good growing business with profits, revenue and dividend all nicely up. On a low multiple too, especially compared to other retailers. Initial target £6.

heading for all time high

breakout and the sky is the limit here

Wow!!!! A billion pounds turnover a year ahead of schedule!This business seems to be most successfully firing on all cylinders and the I hear rumours that they may be susceptible to a buyout by two private investment houses.Could well be Jill is just on board as a figurehead whilst the chairman continues to tie up loose ends.£6 pounds a share seems like fair value at current present momentum.

From todays Standard

Good summary of the results.

"Millard also revealed that some rival retailers have been in touch to see whether Halfords could be used for click and collect destinations"

Halfords exceeded £1bn in revenue a year ahead of schedule thanks to sales growth in dash cams, air fresheners and an Olympic pool's size worth of screen wash.The UK car repairs and cycle parts retailer reported like-for-like sales growth at its retail stores of 7 per cent, thanks to fourth-quarter acceleration to 7.5 per cent (an 11th straight quarter of growth). Autocentres showed 5.3 per cent growth.Overall, preliminary results for the year ended April said revenues rose from 6.9 per cent to £1.004bn. Net income was £66.2m, ahead of forecasts at £61.5m.Online retail sales rose by 14.3 per cent in the year, accounting for a tenth of revenue.The results were strong enough for the group to propose a full-year dividend of 16.5p, up 15.4 per cent.The company called the figures a "strong broad-based sales performance; driven by new products and brands, compelling offers and improving customer service."Halfords claims 1-in-10 UK cars carry the smell of a Halfords air freshener, after selling 3m last year. Sales of dash cams rose 740 per cent year-on-year in the fourth quarter alone. And admittedly we didn't fact check this one, but apparently the screen wash sold could fill a swimming pool.

Consequently Halfords is anticipated to lift a full-year dividend of 15.5p per share for fiscal 2015 to 16.9p in the current year, and again to 18.2p in 2017. These projections produce juicy yields of 3.6% for 2016 and 3.9% for the following 12-month period.Old but shows the new yield
