Yeah Peel are losing a heap, when this gets to 100p they will say sell

[lauders] 28/6/2016 12:20

Not everyone is bearish: Peel Hunt today reaffirms its buy investment rating on Carpetright PLC (LON:CPR) and cut its price target to 400p (from 575p).

Same thing happened when Carpetright started, most staff brought over from Carpetland.

Most Tapi staff are ex Carpetright, and fitters also.

Tapi is run by son of harris and has high and mighty retail backers

Not heard of Tapi before today albeit I see the Guildford store is quite close to us. Why are they so much better at selling carpets than CPR please?

No position in CPR so just curious.

Cheers, Martin

samsung, This picture sums it up your sentiments

[samsung7] 28/6/2016 11:22

Napoleon, with respect.

Carpetright put allied out of business, Tapi will put carpetright out of business.
Remember you need the trained staff to actually make the sale before you measure how well the staff met the customer expectations.
Did you know that carpetright do not pay the minimum wage their commission makes it up and carpetright just guarantee the minimum but at least Tapi will pick up well trained staff when they join Tapi.

I repeat an own goal.

CPRhas been on a downward route for years a temp rebound aprox 2yrs back then the downward trend continued now accelerated by recent events.K

Fall in £ will create serious margin headwinds

Market reaction to the results is all about Brexit & nothing about CPR IMO.
I hold.

[napoleon 14th] 28/6/2016 10:52

Samsung - it's a positive step. It means they have to oversee/monitor completion of contracts to the customer's satisfaction, which is far better to achieve customer retention rather than just sell them a pile of pile & tatty'bye!

Doesn't mean they don't get commission. It ensures the quality of sales, & if I worked at CPR I'd be in favour, 'cos loosing custom means reduced sales etc....

190p next stop, then 150p

[kumala] 28/6/2016 09:36

The good days have long since gone £8/9/10/11/12 a share...these prices are a distant memory when the company was in progress mode kn all fronts. Times have changed in more ways than one. Were heading back towards launch price...what a shame....K

[rubberbullets] 28/6/2016 09:32

but its over imho

[rubberbullets] 28/6/2016 08:32

comiserations to longs

[samsung7] 28/6/2016 08:06

This company has effectively just lost its best staff to its new competitor Tapi by stopping the payment of commission announced in these results. I would not be a holder here - what an own goal.

"Additionally, we will be adjusting our reward and compensation packages away from commission payment on order taking and re-targeting them to successful completion of the job and 'Do We Measure Up?' ratings."

Hidden profits warning Trading conditions in the early weeks of the new financial year have been more challenging, against strong comparatives in the prior year and in a market which is increasingly competitive, particularly in the UK. The outlook has been further complicated by the outcome of last week's referendum and we are cautious about the impact the associated uncertainty will have on consumer c
