I see Moonpig is up another 7.5p (3.4%].
Galling, in view of the fact it has more or less an equal number of shares in issue,
it makes less profit per share, (10p v 14p), it pays a tiny dividend, (1p v 4.5p), it is valued at nearly 2.5 times CF.
Fundamentally, Moonpig is a worse business performer than CARD, yet more highly valued by the market for some obscure reason. |
Positive US news could result in a golden cross, the chart is at least heading that way! |
I'll take it. DEAL ! :) |
I confidently predict you will make 0.02p on that purchase**All estimates +-0.02 |
Lol. I'm buying one share now in lieu of your purchase:) |
Heading to my local CARD, will potentially be spending about 4 quid AND saying yes to a carrier bag.Just wanted to let you all know as the market catches on later and you see the inevitable spike ;) |
Back to CF. Is there anything to look forward to in way of announcements for CF before May. This is struggling to stay in the 90s the way I see it. Bloody nightmare of a share! |
Gl, yes, I'm aware of this. Perhaps you've misunderstood my comments? They will have retail stores that aren't in the high-street, if that's where the confusion has come from |
Exactly, I can't see anyone taking over the stores and carrying on as if they were WHS as that format has been unsuccessful, so I agree most likely a positive for Card who will pick up more customers. |
If they can sell all the high street shops to someone who wants to change their use that is great for CARD. The high street won't be further hollowed out, and there is also less competition for CARD in cards, gifts, party items. A real win situation for CARD. |
It's not buying all of SMWH Juliet just the high street stores.
85% of business with SMWH is travel shops in airports |
HMV?! Bensons for Beds?! Hobbycraft?! |
Looks poised for a breakout above the 200 day MA (~100p) to me. That would be a very bullish move if it happens. I may be tempted to take a few more...hmmm. |
Waking up.. |
Peel hunt suggesting 100 to 130m for the high street biz. Hilco and alteri front runners |
Perhaps there's some crossed wires and the bidder is Victoria 'Secrets'! 😉
I'll get my coat. |
These 'secret' talks seem to be broadcast to the world. I'm starting to get the impression that they are somewhat desperate for anyone to take it. Maybe I'll give them a call and offer them a tenner paid in monthly installments over two years or I'll ask if I can buy it on Klarna. |
Am I missing something here? Apparently, Modell Capital are looking at, not bidding, for Smiths retail shops and on their website, they have Paperchase down as a 'successful' transaction. They went into admin.. 🤔
Why on earth anyone would be looking at buying Smiths and not Card is beyond me. |
Am I missing something here? |
Closure of stores would be good for Card and also Card could buy some stores where they currently don't have a presence. |
WHS:
"The company could confirm the plan in a statement to the London Stock Exchange as early as next week, according to Sky News." |
There maybe an announcement tomorrow. Let's see. |
WH Smith selling their high street stores... another competitor potentially leaving the scene? |
I get what you're saying but I just can't see it being a threat. The chances are that at least 10% of their stores will close before someone puts a bid in, maybe more.
I don't think people will be too keen. It doesn't seem like an easy win. Maybe you'd buy the ones outside the traditional high-streets and leave the rest, which would probably do better as primarks or something given their size! ;) |
