Looks like a good entry point for the brave one

Only one division that's had slow sales merchandise, not overall bad statement

[staylow1] 23/1/2017 17:52

Distant support looks to be around £1.65

[joseph moran] 23/1/2017 17:48

The IPO price was £2.45, so we are at a big loss from the initial price

'Pets at Home's shares will cost 245p each, in the middle of its initial price range. The initial public offering (IPO) for the pet supplies chain values the company at £1.23bn'

Time to sell and short it, that should reverse this terrible downtrend....What was the IPO price of PETS, was it 160p?

[staylow1] 23/1/2017 16:24

I agree, but risky as the chart has no recent support at this level. Hopefully the sell order will be dried up near here

[crystball] 23/1/2017 16:22

Can't quite understand why the share price has fallen so much. Is it wholly related to the import cost of products being greater because of the pound's weakness? PETS serve purely a domestic UK market, so not exporting anything. I continue to hold, believing in the strength of the brand and customer loyalty. Is this a buying opportunity at this price?

Yes, been hammered comprehensively over last few days. Now below lowest Broker forecast level - Liberum Capital - 200.

Other recent forecasts are 256 and 271.

Hoping for recovery to 225 level within next 10 days.

[gswredland] 23/1/2017 14:58

Well yes but I should have added by the end of the days trading.
Doesn't look good tho!

[jamesjamiebarlow] 23/1/2017 14:40

Goes? Its gone!198 at todays lowest point

[gswredland] 23/1/2017 14:34

Yep if it does go below 200 there could be a fair bit further to go ....

[saturn5] 23/1/2017 14:03

vets and grooming needed here aqsap

[jamesjamiebarlow] 23/1/2017 14:01

Wow this is getting hammered

[staylow1] 23/1/2017 11:16

Someone must be selling off.. look at the buy to sell ratio

[deadly] 19/1/2017 16:55

The growth in services has been their strong point for some time and I guess this will continue, but the drop is similar to that after the last decent update and I guess someone has a downer on it. So bought some back in.

[ptgint] 19/1/2017 15:53

Deadly - is todays drop due to concern over the impact supermarkets are having on Merchandise sales ? Other parts of Pets looks good eg VETs and grooming.

[staylow1] 19/1/2017 11:36

It was ranging up there for a while, probably more a safe profit take. I think it'll sneak its way back up to 235

[deadly] 19/1/2017 08:59

TS looks good to me, what am I missing? Down 7% so far

[2bluelynn] 28/12/2016 21:11

Great engulfing candle on the charts all .. looked good to me

[deadly] 28/12/2016 10:33

Sold some at 237p after the recent rise from 212p ish.

[staylow1] 07/12/2016 17:03

198k buy at the end of the day..

[morti1] 01/12/2016 12:11

Thank you.

[gleach23] 01/12/2016 11:34

Morti1 - to be on the register at the close of Dec 2nd you have to be holding shares as of the close last night. If you bought yesterday you get the divi, if you buy today you don't. Hence it opens today as ex-div. Hope that helps.

[morti1] 01/12/2016 10:08

"On 22 November 2016 the Directors declared an interim dividend of 2.5 pence per share, amounting to GBP12.5 million, which is payable on 6 January 2017 to ordinary shareholders on the register at the close of business on 2 December 2016". (Information from the company report).

I am reading elsewhere that the company went ex-div today 01/12/2016. Is the actual date the 2nd? Not sure and slightly confused. Could someone please clarify.
