Portside - you did say to buy these, but certainly not at 82.5p - they were 87p at the time and they have never been 82.5. You also said buy at 123p so you might get it right at some point. Well done

Let's see what half year results bring, would not be surprised if customer figures stable due to competitive pricing on Centrica's behalf.

Corbyn is mark2 to Michael Foot...anybody remember him...he talks the talks but didn't win the votes...now if labour were to elect a new leader than yes they have a better chance...

Never say never, The Brexit fiasco coming by October could spark a General Election. The voting for a General Election would be different from the Euro elections. Most people i reckon would vote safe either Tory or Labour. The Brexit Party, UKIP etc all don't really have viable policies for the UK domestic political landscape. So there is a good chance Labour could win outright or form an alliance with the SNP Party for example. Lots of People would either Not vote, Shift to the Labour in protest at the Tories as people forget the damage the last Labour Government did or a do a rebel vote i.e. vote for useless party like the Greens or Liberal Democrats................. So I personally believe until Corbyn the Commie is officially out as Labour leader there is a still a very good chance of a Labour Government.

They need a strategy of the strategy...every boss has his/her own strategy...that is the problem...too many strategy ...




Centrica’s uncertain outlook could hold back its share price in the near term in my view. The company faces political and regulatory risks that are showing little sign of subsiding to my mind.

Therefore, while it has a dividend yield that is now in the double digits, I feel there may be better opportunities for me elsewhere. It wouldn’t surprise me if Centrica continues to underperform the FTSE 100 in the short run, although a successful turnaround cannot be ruled out over future years as it seeks to become more efficient under a revised strategy.

Spirit energy drills a dud:



Surprised this not hitting CNA, though I guess for now the market has decided this fall is over done

Are recoveries ahead for Vodafone Group plc, easyJet plc, Centrica PLC and Marks and Spencer Group Plc?
Do these shares have turnaround potential? Vodafone Group plc (LON:VOD) (VOD.L), easyJet plc (LON:EZJ) (EZJ.L), Centrica PLC (LON:CNA) (CNA.L) and Marks and Spencer Group Plc (LON:MKS) (MKS.L)
July 1, 2019 Robert Stephens, CFA FTSE 100

Centrica PLC

The performances of shares in Vodafone Group plc (LON:VOD) (VOD.L), easyJet plc (LON:EZJ) (EZJ.L), Centrica PLC (LON:CNA) (CNA.L) and Marks and Spencer Group Plc (LON:MKS) (MKS.L) have been disappointing over recent quarters in my view.

Investors seem to be concerned about the financial prospects of Vodafone. The company is investing heavily in 5G and in acquisitions. This may have contributed to its decision to rebase its dividend, which seems to have caused investor sentiment to come under pressure.

I think that the Vodafone share price offers long-term recovery potential. Its decision to enter into partnerships and become a simpler business could catalyse its financial performance, but it may be a gradual process.

easyJet’s financial prospects continue to be uncertain to my mind. Even though fuel costs may moderate due to a lower oil price, overcapacity and a high level of competition at a time when consumer confidence is weak could lead to a difficult period.

Still, with the stock having a P/E ratio of 7, I think it could offer a margin of safety. I also think easyJet’s balance sheet and strong position in the budget airline segment may allow it to gain market share over the medium term.

Marks and Spencer may take time to deliver improving financial performance in my opinion. It is investing heavily in its omnichannel prospects, but I feel that other retailers have got a head start in this respect.

Therefore, while I think the company has a strong brand and a loyal customer base, I feel that some of its rivals have business models that are better aligned with evolving customer tastes. As a result, I view Marks and Spencer as a long-term recovery stock.

Centrica’s uncertain outlook could hold back its share price in the near term in my view. The company faces political and regulatory risks that are showing little sign of subsiding to my mind.

Therefore, while it has a dividend yield that is now in the double digits, I feel there may be better opportunities for me elsewhere. It wouldn’t surprise me if Centrica continues to underperform the FTSE 100 in the short run, although a successful turnaround cannot be ruled out over future years as it seeks to become more efficient under a revised strategy.
