15/10/2014 12:18 | Daniel Coatsworth at Shares Magazine appears to have it in for CNCT... Daniel Coatsworth @SharesMagDan 4h4 hours ago The former Smiths News biz seems obsessed with kids games. Now called Connect (Four?!), it has a deal with Amazon called Pass (the) Parcel Daniel Coatsworth @SharesMagDan 4h4 hours ago Connect's deal with Amazon isn't unique in market. There's another operator trialing a similar proposition. Daniel Coatsworth @SharesMagDan 4h4 hours ago Connect launches Jack's Beans: coffee vending machines for small shops. Brave man to challenge Whitbread. Should stick to what it knows best | speedsgh | |

This service of two time sensitive deliveries per day, (once on a Sunday), offers customers a convenient and secure way to pick up their parcels, with a level of service and flexibility unlike any other offer in the market today. Customers selecting Pass My Parcel delivery to their local independent retailer will be electronically sent a specially generated pin code in order to securely collect their parcel. This new service will allow customers more control over when and where they choose to pick up their items.

14/10/2014 19:48 | Noticed today the share price is back down below 150. So reminded myself where this is at only to find that they are due to report tomorrow so good timing, I will look out for the announcement in the morning. Seems so far I was vindicated in selling and looking at the chart is that a head and shoulders? If this continues to drift and the yield rises again I may be tempted, but really to buy in I would like to see some more positives. | fenners66 | |

Since the previous update on 8 July 2014, the Group and each of its divisions have performed in line with management expectations and, as a result, Group underlying profit before tax is expected to be in line with recent guidance.

With respect to each division: · Connect News & Media: Newspaper and magazine performance has continued at recent robust run rates. Media has performed in line with expectations. · Connect Books: management actions are taking effect, and recent performance has stabilised in line with management expectations. · Connect Education & Care: performance has been in line with management expectations through the peak trading period. There has been no change in the underlying financial condition of the Group since the half year ended 28 February 2014 and the Group continues to operate well within its new bank facilities.

19/7/2014 08:34 | The track record is pretty strong with rising profits, eps, and dps over the last four years. Slightly concealed by static revenue. This is because the paper distribution is high volume low margin. The upside is that these are on long term contracts so that yield of >6% is backed up by high visibility going forward and great dividend cover. One of my favourite income stocks and I've topped up now that we seem to have reached the ~150p support level. | grahamg8 | |
15/7/2014 16:28 | Well i sold out at over £2 having held since 75p. A bit early as they rose and last time on here said I would look again if they got back to 150. However the language in the recent trading statement is more of the same from when I sold - that is that they are not trumpeting growth in the new divisions. We know they have a solid if declining core business that will support the dividend, however I bought originally on a much higher prospective yield. I am therefore still in the same position and looking for that yield to improve (share price decline, more likely than uplift in coupon), before coming back in. This did stabilise last time at 150 and may well again. But I would prefer to back yield elsewhere at the moment. Will keep it on my watch list. | fenners66 | |
15/7/2014 13:39 | Dunno what caused that - the link text has disappeared, and doesn't seem to be addable anymore. Another ADVFN anti-linking change I suppose... :-( Edit - in the header it doesnt seem to like links without a .htm on the end. Don't know how to solve that (yet). Sorry guys. | edmundshaw | |
