Boot (henry) Share Discussion Threads

Despite cost pressure common to all UK retailers, the broker expects gross
margins should flatten out and productivity improvements should allow
BTC to start restoring its EBIT margins from next year on.

This morning, Boots shares have been upgraded to overweight from neutral at JP Morgan.

The US broker said the restructuring of Boots the Chemist (BTC) has been painful, resulting in a 6% decline in EBIT margin.

However, it believes the worst is now fully discounted.

Agree with you, Big Boyo.

No value in Boots: trading at PE 15, and almost 4 times tangible book value. Can't see any upside. The downside risks are manifest. At some point, these will dip significantly. But they have got a share price history of defying underlying fundamentals.

If it can hold here, then next target £6.30. Going to give back money from sale.
Expect news of bidding next week.

Next stop £6.10 on a chartest view. Much undervalued but in present climate justified. Good one to tuck away or use Dec long on spreadbet. Added to my stock this week.

[onehanded] 06/5/2005 12:37

Agreed, my long term is that after the summer this price will look cheap, just depends at what level it turns.

[roodboy] 06/5/2005 11:49

long term these are probably a good bet but i am not buying yet

[roodboy] 06/5/2005 11:47

i wouldnt b so sure - anything can happen in the current soft market - i did warn that a break below 600p was a significant moment ...

[abhai] 06/5/2005 11:39

trading at 2&1/2 year low ... something's got to happen .. cannot see them collapsing ... so must bounce back!

[abhai] 06/5/2005 11:38

What speculation? ... consumer figs of late not so great ...hope this one does not go sub 5.50 ... i'm long from 5.96 through 5.86 .... begining to hurt now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[onehanded] 06/5/2005 10:20

Time to buy when all looks bad. Ready to bounce first to £6. Shorters to close soon and squeeze as weekend press speculation on the way.

[taffychaff] 06/5/2005 09:50

The chart shows all.The trend is down, follow the trend or stay out.Bottom fishing is 'rogue trader' stuff.

Short from here with a stop loss at 605p.

[onehanded] 06/5/2005 08:41

In for some at this level. buying back share every day and aiming for return to £6.40 level. Still makes a good profit and much under rated.

[roodboy] 05/5/2005 12:01

i think these will go lower yet ... only a take over bid will stop the decline

[careful] 04/5/2005 13:33

in at 588.
Boots is a quality legacy brand.
gambling on reasonable news this week so a bit nervous.

[abhai] 04/5/2005 10:16

In @ £5.929 ... may live to regret?? ... already down £300!!!

[widgee] 04/5/2005 10:12
