Generally there is just far too much merchandise in the stores, there is no chance of selling everything. Also people are wiser now and save some money to get items and clothing in the sales. Next and Primark who do really well, still have an immense amount on their rails and shelves. It will all go in their sales, which in turn means we will not need to buy so much next winter.

M&S have such a wide range of stock, some do much better than others. Ladies bootie slippers have sold out in store and the children's onesies they are down to a just a few left. I came home and ordered a few things I couldn't get in a large M&S store which are going to be delivered to my small local M&S Christmas eve.

I doubt it is only that store tbh

I know someone taken on as a xmas temp
she and some others due to finish 11th jan have been told they have to finish 28th dec now..
clearly m@s not making the money they expected to...
a lot of the recent share price fall due to city expectations of x mas trading results imo

Today they have reduced 50 per cent off some gifts and beauty lines and 30 per cent off some selected clothing lines. The gifts are things like crackers (which they do not want to be left with after Christmas, my local M&S has a few boxes left after selling most at the full price). Anyone can have a look at the M&S website to form their own opinion.

share drop due to M&S going on sale 30% off mens/womens/childrens sections and 50% off much of Christmas ;hundreds and hundreds of lines ;; one week before christmas - they are in trouble ; sales must be very poor...

I thought 18 months ago the shares were around the £350 level.

M&S are in a much better place than they were this time last year.

I read about a month back that the Dunelm Mill boss had been buying a few M&S shares.

I wouldnt be suprised if phillip green is watching the share fall and rubbing his hands. Will he finally get his hands on marks and spencer. At a much cheaper price

UBS downgrade.

Downgrade M&S and ASOS to Neutral and cut Debenhams forecasts and PT
We cut our forecasts for M&S (FY14E PBT cut by 3% and FY15E by 8%) and Debenhams (FY14E 11% and FY15E 10%) on lower gross margins.

that news was 3 days ago...

shocking revelations in sun/times,chinese angora rabbits have their fur
ripped from them alive, M&S said we will not place any further orders,
until we have concluded our visits to farms, which seems to imply they
will keep selling products in short term
NOT GOOD ENOUGH
