Depends whether its specific to the company/sector or more of an indicator of consumer confidence,seems to me in this instance it is more to do with that sector as its season/weather related so it should not really effect these however the city is highly sensitive to consumer sentiment at present.

I think its likely these will test the recent lows in the near future.

They do it every release, create perceived demand with a short production run. Sales numbers will be interesting, IQE holders betting their houses on good volumes, just don't see it myself

lol Yes I have heard "for a bloody phone" or similar a few times already.

A friend of mine was considering one and he always buys the latest stuff but when I pointed out the 7 was nearly half the price now he got one of those instead as he was not that bothered about the new features ,again paying outright and going sim only rather than the expensive 2 year contract.

Reading the guardian link two things jump outFirstly they say pre orders sold out but don't give any figures - for example did they make the same amino as previous phones available? Was the pre order availability a low starting point or high etc.Secondly it says how the consumer has opted big time to go with older iPhones that are a lot cheaper (or inferior as the guardian ridiculously puts it) and shun the iPhone 8...surely this is a massive statement to apple that your phones are now too expensive for what they doMy wife was waiting for the x and after receiving an email last week and seeing the cheapest tariff at £35 a month has a £700 up front phone cost her language became quite fruitful...she has decided not to bother nowThe words "for a bloody phone" were said quite a lot

You are right people do need to replace their phones at some point but the time period is getting longer and people are increasingly buying outright or shopping round for better deals as they become aware of how expensive the traditional 2 year contracts work out at.

The instore deals are often expensive have a look at the internet sites like mobile.co.uk which incidentally they own to see how much cheaper deals are on line this highlights a growing problem that they face with online deals being particularly suited to the mobile market and new players like Sky taking market share.

Dixons/carfone made huge amounts from the traditional 2 year contracts infact it was the core of carfones business.They also get kickbacks from providers on customers bills in the future on new contracts signed but this market is decreasing and being replaced by less lucrative alternatives (like the £10 sim only deals) and this is unlikely to change and will be a drag on their shares for some time imo.


Dixons is trialling a tie up with Tesco although its nothing like the scale of Sainsbury/Argos (which imo was a very clever move by Coupe not least because Argos logistics are much better than Currys with same day delivery in most areas)

Anyway another fall this morning looks like we could re test the lows the bounce looks very much like the dead cat variety,of course much will depend on peak season.

Looking at the last report from DC and general mobile phone market from the past people did not switch as often. However, remember mobile phones have limited life at some point consumers need to replace their handsets. For DC should it matter if iphone X is short in supply ? Excessive delays would create some sales space for iphone 8. Is DC only relying on apple not they sell different brands. I think DC should introduce cheaper phones such as oppo to tap the lower end of the market. Diversification should be looked into especially when you have immense retail presence. look at sainsbury and argos.

Amazon market cap increased on friday by an amount in excess of the 25 times the entire market cap of DC.

In one day...

Mr Bezos is funding a space program on the back of his wealth. I wonder if Mr James can fund a trip to Lidl.

The point is Tim they are not selling at all.

Iphones can end up as extremely expensive unsold inventory.

But DC. have to stock them ..

who wants a £1000 phone ? I don't

In my opinion even if it is a big success then I doubt it will be in sufficient supply in DC's shops to have much effect on Christmas trading.

There are supply issues and they will surly prioritise their own shops over third party retailers.I would also imagine there will be low margins because if Apple cant keep pace with demand they are hardly like to discount it much to the trade.

I also think it will sell well to a percentage of Apples customers who always buy their products but after that really not sure how many will be prepared to pay 70 quid a month or fork out a grand,I know I wont!

No wonder Iphone x sold in in the first 10 mins of order taking.
DC. is way oversold. 200p will come very soon. I may sound optimistic but its coming.

I find it really odd that Apple are pushing face recognition as the main selling point of the x.

Do they think people will will upgrade because of a security feature.

probably about 10 million too many. there are nothing but photo gimmicks on it.

I sincerely believe that that Comet demise had a more psychological effect on the share price than anything else.

but to get back to the iphone. overpriced and not enough diferentiation.

More liability than opportunity for DC.

"The comet demise benefit was marginal ."

Sorry can not agree with that.

Anyway thats history.

The holy grail for many Apple fans, the iPhone X, has been plagued by production issues that already look to substantially limit supplies of the coveted device. Now, a new report from the Nikkei Asian Review clarifies just how much they’ll be limited: Apple will apparently ship only 20 million units this year, half of how much it had planned. The report suggests the reduction in units comes from technical issues surrounding components that are used in the new face authentication feature.

The comet demise benefit was marginal ..

Seb did his best..

But this is the same Dixons as before

Amazon and their ilk mean that the economics here are doomed ultimately.

it is a shopping bag essentially with other peoples goods in it (dixons own nothing - they own none of the brands they sell) and add nothing of value to a transaction. Simply put the value proposition for the customer is online now for the purchase of electricals.

At best shoppers use currys as a free show room before buying the same goods online cheaper.

I know I do that every time... check out the goods in Currys ... then buy the same goods cheaper online... sometimes while still standing in the store.

Nice one UA.

I remember many stores business went up 20% overnight following Comets demise and Seb gaining almost celebrity status the following year doing interviews about how he had improved the company!

I know plenty of people who hold from much higher up and understandably they are less than impressed!

Sadly despite the Currys business doing ok the mobile phone issues do not appear to be going away anytime soon and look likely to be a cloud over the shares, last time I heard stores were not hitting contract phone targets despite them being reduced several times.

What people forget is that Seb got a huge boost from something he had nothing to do with but happened shortly after he took over,the closure of Comet.They were their number 1 competitor sold identical products and shared the same retail park as most Currys stores.When they went bust the impact on Currys business was instant and considerable and although nothing to do with his actions he was happy to claim the increase in business was partly down to strategies he implemented and the city seemed to believe it at the time.

The main change that Seb has instigated and what he should be judged on is the CPW merger which is now starting to look highly questionable not only the mobile market but the way they are integrated into the large stores is not great imo.

Him selling all those shares earlier this year along with other directors just before the falls speaks volumes about their confidence in their own actions.

Yup if there had been no tie up with CPW I venture that the shares would be double the price they are now.

Was vanity project from the get-go.
