Tesco Share Discussion Threads

At long last and not before time, Tesco is once more a favoured share. Now I'm not just pleased to have moved back into profit, but I'm looking for a dividend again before too much longer. The pension scheme will have a drag effect on the price and any dividends, but in my view, it is manageable; especially as inflation and interest rates may not stay so low that much longer, with the pound having taken such a beating of late.

And also, there must be some movement towards letting defined benefit pension funds off the hook that's digging in now: it is in no one's interest to put more pressure on these schemes, as that will cause failures and put ginormous pressure on the Pensions Protection Fund, which one way or another, we will all have to pay for through payments from solvent schemes, which may themselves suffer, causing a knock-on effect that will help no-one.

So ... buy Tesco, if you haven't already, and enjoy the northwards journey. :)

when the penny eventually drops (that Tesco is back ) there will be a surge in demand for the shares .

this could move rapidly upwards

if Tesco can achieve about £2bn pre tax profit then we shall see £2.50-£3.0.
It looks as though this will now be possible over the next couple of years.

Achieved !
I can't see anything stopping this getting to 250p !

Chinese Investor(TSCO) 18 Oct '16 - 10:14
210p Imminent !

Tesco backs on track now. According to investors predicting the Tesco share price will be up to £2.50 before Christmas. Everyone better jump in the ship now before it too late.

[chinese investor] 18/10/2016 10:14

210p Imminent !

[cocker] 18/10/2016 09:24

Looks as if seller has been cleared with profit takers as well. Perhaps 210+ on the cards within next few sessions.

[careful] 18/10/2016 09:22

I suspect some will have tried the discounters, but Tesco are hard to beat.
Many will return, a huge range of products.

"LONDON--Tesco PLC's (TSCO.LN) year-over-year market share has risen for the first time in five years, with sales 1.3% higher as its food unit was boosted by "farm brands" and its standard own-label lines, according to a market survey Tuesday.

For the 12 weeks ended Oct. 9, Tesco's market share rose to 28.2% from 28.1% for the comparable 12 weeks, while sales rose 1.3% to 6.98 billion pounds ($8.55 billion)."

Target 225p before Christmas. Realistic?

@Alphorn,


@Careful
Yes - I beleive in a nation state's right to "self determination"
That's why I was pro Scotland having a Ref first time around. They're entitled. Given they were resoundingly Pro Remain I'm happy for them ot have a second(and final) referendum as circumstances have materially changed for them. But I want to knock this "neverendum" on the head otherwise we'll go nowhere as everything will constantly get challenged.

I look on the Scottish situation as Ms Sturgeon acting like a headmistress. "that's not the answer you were supposed to give, You'll go back and do it again and again until you get it right."

It seems she wants independence from London (where a large proportion of the MPs are Scottish) but is happy to be ruled by an unelected bunch of bureaucrats from Brussels.

[ladeside] 14/10/2016 16:28

Exactly and as a shareholder it's been a complete success as per the price movements.

[mr.elbee] 14/10/2016 15:42

Exactly Mealiff...and the fact that the current Tesoc CEO until recently was on the Board of Unilever has nothing to do with any of this?Either cooked up together or handbags at dawn in the carpark.Either way it aint real.

Do us all a favour[ other than Mealiff].. This is a media scam trading on the essential and indisputable stupidity of the British.

[careful] 14/10/2016 15:39

I hope this Tesco/Unilever thing was not a planned stunt.
Dave Lewis is a former Unilever executive.

[ladeside] 14/10/2016 15:04

Tesco have won the battle and put those unilever upstarts firmly in their place as predicted..........

[mealiff] 14/10/2016 15:03

Works out in Tesco's favour

Free Publicity & PR for the company and giving the illusion of putting UK goods and THEIR CUSTOMERS first .

no matter what people's perceptions

you can't buy good publicity

@Alphorn,

Rhodesia is a special case.In fact it's a perfect example for BCG of the reasons most of Africa has fallen so far behind the rest of the world once securing their independence. I've seen it first hand, in several African nations up front and person over the years as well.

In fact I'd go so far as to say all the home nations should get a vote this time.

.Sometimes a bit of manic depression and fear is a good thing.
Patriotic optimism achieves nothing and has a long history of disaster.

A mixture of both surely the best.

As to Patriotic Optimism achieves nothing, suspect those who fought in WW2 particularly would disagree. It's essentially what kept us going when we hit our bleakest hour. Just because the Germans, Italians, Spanish,Japanese have shown patriotic optimism achieves nothing but bloodshed there's no need to tar Britain.

Tesco heaving here to - as was our local Iceland. The rush for the "Free Marmite itht he Daily Mail" being he main reason!!!! The shelves were bare. Our local hardly ever sells any but yesterday 18 went. I bought 6 500g glass jars myself.

I don't get the attraction to Aldi/Lidl - too haphazard a layout, you cant do a full shop there, the produce available is on rotation,often not there when you want it,and the "brands,never heard of many of them.

[careful] 14/10/2016 13:39

..and talking of optimism.
Tesco was heaving today, i have a feeling things have really turned around.

The nearby Aldi was quieter today.
I suspect that people will try it, but most will return.

[careful] 14/10/2016 13:35

I presume that you agree with our friend Nicola North of the border.
'freedom, liberty, self government are priceless' she says,just like you.

65% of her exports are to mainland UK.
she will need a trade agreement with us.

[alphorn] 14/10/2016 13:06

"freedom & liberty is priceless".

Had exactly the same conversation many many years ago when I lived far south. Rhodesia became independant of the nasty arch rulers (UK)...........the rest is history.

Lesson No1 - there is always someone above you in life or business.

[fangorn2] 14/10/2016 12:51

@Careful,

Short term pain for long term gain - freedom & liberty is priceless. Sterling move is too be expected - it's why nations have a floating currency.

Pensions are under severe strain with current interest rates as low as they are,and expected to be for longer. What makes you think you'll even "get a pension" by the time you retire. State one certainly wont exist in 20-30years.

So defeatist, so pessimistic. There'll be tough times, but there'll be positives as well. We have an incredible opportunity to grasp.

A negative outcome will be self fulfilling if everyone falls for the manic depression you are trying to push...Can you imagine similar on the Normandy beaches, or those that bravely fought in the Skies in Battle of Britain.

"We did not vote for that" they will say..

Oh no we won't, stop misrepresenting.

[careful] 14/10/2016 12:43

tesco will not be alone in paying higher prices.
How will these Brexit types feel when fuel and food go up, pensions get smaller, taxes go up, unemployment rises..

'we did not vote for that' they will say.

[pal44] 14/10/2016 12:34

thing is Tesco is smaller than Unilever so they have only pushed it out till the new year just watch .
