CPW must be too boring a name for many. I am well pleased to have climbed aboard a few weeks ago, the signs were all flagged up. Hopefully, this will crack on and consolidate above its multi year highs where we are now (ignore the 172p "drop" in 2012, this was the special dividend adjustment).

[rolo7] 14/10/2013 19:18

also weak usa markets at us opening lowered cpw price.

Inevitable resistance at 260p, the old high before the special divi in 2012. Hope to see this break through imminently...

[rolo7] 13/10/2013 22:09

cpw advert also on during the x factor!

Decent article from Telegraph last week, discussion with CEO Graham Stapleton:

[bones] 11/10/2013 15:17

I sincerely hope so, rolo7! Any crack on above 260p will be new highs (allowing for the 2012 adjustment for special div).

[rolo7] 11/10/2013 15:08

will this breakout hold end of day and through next week? fste 250 listing for sure to come.

[bones] 05/10/2013 14:43

There is 6 months worth of resistance at 250p which is making it hard for the share price to crack on past there, but the pressure is building. Once through 250p on a closing basis for two days, I will expect this to challenge blue sky. Bearing in mind the 172p special dividend in early 2012, the equivalent all time high (from the last five years at any rate) is only 20p above the current price.

Carphone Warehouse starts recruitment for 60 seasonal roles

Added at 240p. One of the many reasons to buy was announced today - the premium listing.

Thanks for your input, prokartace!

This recent interview with Head of Marketing, Julian Diment, ahead of a new campaign that started 20th September may be of interest.

This is a general drop back of profitable growth shares in this I include Pace, Moneysupermarket and Anite amongst others. CPW in fact has fallen the least in percentage terms. The question is only when to buy not if to buy.

[bones] 24/9/2013 22:33

Somewhat mysterious dribbling down in price to 222p. I am almost tempted to top up here but that goes against my general rule of not averaging down from my opening buy price so I will just continue to observe with my main holding.

I see only good news:

- CPW recently acquired the 50% of CPW Europe it did not already own, in what looked like a distress sale by BestBuy of the US who were in a mess.

- CPW made a windfall £23M in the summer by placing a decent lump of shares (as part of BestBuy deal) at 244p which was way above the 190p they owed to BestBuy from the placing. It was also a vote of confidence to see institutions happily splash 244p per share.

- UK retail data has been strong this year and should feed through to performance at the shops. I also had a decent customer experience at the Reading branch with CPW having an exclusive deal to give away a Samsung Tablet with an upgrade to a Samsung phone. Happy with that as I use the tablet a lot now. Can imagine CPW did decent business with that promo.

- CPW should have taken the bulk of the pain on Virgin France with their last results.

If this thread is any guide, it appears very few active private investors are in CPW. Feel free to comment if you are in, or out!

[bones] 09/9/2013 14:29

Not a lot seems to happen here! Anyway, I have bought a chunk for the reason that following the buyout from BestBuy, CPW can gear up the business with the retail scene looking brighter, as well as ahead of the proposal to get a premium listing on FTSE and hence get into the FTSE250 index.

I also upgraded my phone at a CPW shop and was impressed by the service as well as getting a free Samsung tablet with the upgrade, apparently a deal exclusive to CPW.

As the price has done naf-all since the BB buyout, I think it's time it started moving up!
