M&S food has reported 24 straight quarters of growth.

In non food, gross margin is important. Not sales growth per se.

Marks & Spencer to open first Beijing store on Friday


Thank you.

The dividend doesn`t cover anywhere near the capital loss. Buybacks are an admission of defeat when you can`t increase your EPS through trading as the company you`re supposed to be.

The clothing is outdated , outmoded call it what you want. The womens clothing just seems to be aimed at the over 50`s . The company is stuck in a time warp. It needs to reinvent itself clothing wise starting with a new CEO.

The buy back is a tiny % of the share count.

[rubberbullets] 22/12/2015 15:27

only a loss when its taken and meanwhile enjoy the FAT dividend

have you noticed theyve stopped totalling the shares buyback - prob cos its going to add 5% to the EPS forecast....

[philanderer] 22/12/2015 15:24

But you`re losing your investment capital daily ! 20% down in 6 weeks.

They`re supposed to be selling food and clothes and they`re not selling any clothes

[rubberbullets] 22/12/2015 15:16

nice 190,000 buy back last night

Great thing is that it probably made £4m cash overnight so can carry doing more buybacks

HSBC reiterated their buy rating on shares of Marks and Spencer Group Plc (LON:MKS) in a research report released on Wednesday, Marketbeat reports. The brokerage currently has a GBX 700 price target on the retailer’s stock

Just back from M&S uxbridge , food hall as usual very busy , mens and womens` clothing departments virtually empty.

I`d go along with your 400p target... and in short order.

looking very oversold at this level. It's closed the gap at 444.10p from 5th November last year. Question is whether the trend will continue to close the gap lower down at 404.7p from the 4th November. RSI at 21, hasnt been lower than 26 since July 2008! I would imagine a bounce in the short term with potential to continue trend down to 400p level afterwards.

RBC cuts from top pick to outperform... target from 700p to 600p.


..........The bank remains positive on Marks & Spencer shares but said it was mindful of soft clothing like-for-like sales and subdued international demand in the near term.

It said M&S' online execution has been stronger this year and strong buying gains should extend into next year, while the company's food offer should continue to outperform.

In addition, the valuation is undemanding, with strong cash generation providing scope for multi-year cash returns, RBC said.

miikke, not at this level but at 350p for sure.

At this price does anyone think a takeover is a possibility?

[philanderer] 18/12/2015 12:27

All ok according to these fellas ;-)

Marks and Spencer Group Plc (LON:MKS)‘s stock had its “buy” rating reiterated by research analysts at Haitong Securities in a research report issued to clients and investors on Friday, AnalystRatings.Net reports. They presently have a GBX 550p target price

[aussiedonnie] 18/12/2015 12:26

My view is MKS will be sub £4 in the coming weeks.

[philanderer] 18/12/2015 09:05

Mild weather set to continue , winter clothing sales non existant , shareprice heads for another year low. On and on ad nauseum.
