Not surprised over priced nothing special chocolates. Good riddance to another foreign-owned business ripping off our consumers

Chocolate shop chain Thorntons is to shut all its 61 stores in Britain and Northern Ireland, putting 603 jobs at risk.

[diku] 15/3/2021 19:07

So online chocolates?...

[manics] 15/3/2021 18:49

All Thornton's high street stores to close.

diku: tell me you're still holding HSS.

[prbshares] 15/3/2021 15:50

Thanks for the information.

Interesting to see when they start buying them up...

Bumping along to the ftse and dow at the moment .

[manics] 15/3/2021 15:29

nick100: yup. They are also allowed the next business day.No "it's started" RNS required as the principle and all particulars are already in the public domain.First we'll know will be the first/opening transaction RNS.

[nick100] 15/3/2021 15:21

They have to RNS every day when they buy back and the price they have bought at,as I remember when Lloyds had done its buyback

[keifer derrin] 15/3/2021 14:58

Quilter have been doing a buy back and it's done very similar to how Lloyds did it.

They purchased 15% of the daily share sales and they sent out a daily RNS on the amount they purchase, with the highest and lowest share price they paid.

I am assuming something similar...

[prbshares] 15/3/2021 14:50

Manics : Do you think they will they have to RNS every day they buy back or simply announce when 'its starting' ?

[prbshares] 15/3/2021 14:46

As i said before, I would be happy with the ave broker price target for barc : 221p

I think everyone realises that the economies across the globe are going to have a 6month + boom once the vaccines properly kick in and life starts to open up ... hopefully the UK will lead Europe !

FWIW, I feel that the ftse could be back up to 7500 by the summer if not before...we just need the rollout to motor along and the sun to come out !! imo of course .. with my rose tinted glasses back on ! 😎

[manics] 15/3/2021 14:43

No way will they do one big buy. It'll cost average over a period of time, as is normal for a buy back program.

[diku] 15/3/2021 14:29

Think they have a certain limit as to how many shares they can buy back daily...they can't do one big swoop..

[diku] 15/3/2021 14:25

Goodmans loves the money...now where is that stimulus money...

[zaxarobal] 15/3/2021 14:16

Goldman Sachs raised their GDP growth expectations for the U.S. economy to 8% for 2021 in a note to clients on Sunday night.U.S GDP hasn't grown 8% in a year since 1951.

10,000 retail chain stores close during pandemic

Just under 10,000 chain stores disappeared from Great Britain’s retail locations in 2020, amid a warning that the full impact of the pandemic is still to be felt as further ‘temporarily closed’ stores may not re-open.

[prbshares] 15/3/2021 13:46

baggiebird1 : thats a good vaccine count so far, UK needs to keep this momentum going.

Be very interesting to see how this buyback news pans out and the squeeze created on the share price as a result of the purchase. As manics said, If its the full £700m then this is a lumpy amount of shares.

'War on motorists must stop':
Drivers blast Boris Johnson's £3bn 'green revolution' plan to put thousands more buses on Britain's roads claiming huge bus lane expansion will cause gridlock


"The Clown in Chief is the biggest squandered of other people's money ever. His tenure as Mayor of London should have set alarm bells ringing".

PRBSHARES: watching again for now after the 6p banked last week.

[manics] 15/3/2021 12:20

baggiebird1:

"Barclays has also announce its intention to initiate a share buyback up to £700m, expected to commence in Q1 2021."

Two ambiguous elements: "intention" and "up to". I don't think anyone's expecting them to buy all £700m in one hit though! They'll go for a cost average.
