Revenue up, profits down that's how to run a business

[pinkalltheway] 18/6/2014 14:28

First of many IMHO, Charles Stanley lose there Milton Keynes office, off to another broker I understand

Still think all the regulatory burden on these "wealth managers" is excessive and very expensive.. Hence I can't see these firms returns to shareholders being the same.. Awaiting the next warning.. Not only from CEY.L

[pinkalltheway] 18/5/2014 21:53

Just waiting for the next profit warning, or however they to disguise it, it's coming just a matter of time.DYOR.

Oxman
Transition to what !! Fees fees

Agree not as positive an update as hoped but also not wholly unexpected given the talk about costs in earlier update. So market possibly prepared a big for this. But talk of revenue well ahead of expectations suggests plenty of growth is there to counter the ex growth notion, but presently being offset by costs of transition to handle it. Will get away with this if it is largely owing to a year of transition which investors have to tolerate to enjoy growth thereafter. So do you trust the management or not?

very disappointing to see that they haven't had costs under control - and £2m to open an office in Leicester?

This is a veiled profits warning, not good enough in this environment

[its the oxman] 11/4/2014 21:39

Struggle to believe any broker is going ex growth in the current environment. More a case of whether delivery and pick up in business is materially above expectations or not. Also not sure if we will get a pre close trading statement like last year or whether that was a one off.

getting upgraded growth imho - 2014 will be a pivotal year. A wait and see holder

[pinkalltheway] 10/4/2014 21:43

There will be reduced com from trading clients, there is the annual "management" charge

[pinkalltheway] 10/4/2014 20:15

This stock is going ex growth BEWARE.

[its the oxman] 01/4/2014 10:11

Trading statement due shortly. Could give us a meaningful boost.

I use CS Direct as well - it's a great service. However, it's never going to be a particularly material aspect of CS's overall business which is driven by the advisory side.

[a_fundamentalist] 21/2/2014 16:25

I'm a holder for CS Direct. Hoping to see this avenue explode upwards..

[its the oxman] 18/2/2014 20:34

Fair enough. But why ex growth?

[pinkalltheway] 17/2/2014 12:38

Wouldn't touch them going ex- growth in my view ..

[its the oxman] 12/2/2014 11:26

Very quiet board. Just me talking to myself. Not sure if that's a good sign?

[its the oxman] 11/2/2014 12:22

Added today. Shares got nobbled on last update by wider market falls so I am hoping they have a bit of catching up to do with the next update in early April - and my 550p or more will become a reality. For what it's worth video link of last years results on Charles Stanley website comes over very well and suggests the future is looking rosy to my mind. Fundamentally another play on market levels and activity so fingers crossed the markets will have another reasonable year at least.

[its the oxman] 24/1/2014 10:00

.....and going higher on this positive trading statement. 550p very soon.

[its the oxman] 06/12/2013 08:59

Now 515p to buy.

[its the oxman] 14/11/2013 08:11

Solid results today and shares up. Roll on 500p

[bogotatrader] 29/10/2013 22:01

interims last year were on 8th November.....
