Well done knowing I think a lot bought at or below a pound today and did well.

Looking at the results taking out mobiles they do seem to be doing ok.

I think its time to cut right back on costs in relation to mobile.

Integrate it fully into the shops and have staff that sell both Curys/Pc world products and mobiles.

Most times I go in stores the mobile staff are stood round talking.

Build on mobiles.co.uk which does seem to do well and has much less overheads.

Selling sim only can also be easily and cheaply done online infact its probably easier to buy online with all the facts clear and more easy to compare than in a shop.

Maybe have ipads instore for people to find out about sim only in particular again reducing the amount of staff needed.

I doubt the "glory days" of mobile where it was a licence to print money will ever return.

Time for radical action and focus on what they do make profit on.

On a footnote that recovery today could be the start of a nice chart recovery pattern, much will depend on whether it continues tomorrow.

The group sees results improving over the next two years. Quantification of the extent of continuing challenges has actually been well-received by investors. By the middle of the UK session, the stock traded about 8% lower, 20 percentage points higher than its initial collapse. Some of this has an eye to the gruelling decline of around 73% the shares have already suffered over three years.

Agree James was responsible for the merger and sold massive amounts of shares well before he left.

He was a star for a while but that was more down to work that was done before he took over and the demise of Comet.

When visiting Currys store often see staff hurdled around having a chit chat...

[salpara111] 20/6/2019 08:38

Glad I waited!

Carphone worst decision in companies history imo.

Way to many stores and they still don't compete with online despite being loss making I can beat virtually every one of their deals online.

[aim11] 20/6/2019 08:27

Yes they do, they still believe it can be turned around to breakeven within a few years . This decision is ridiculous imho, the stores are mostly on short leases just axe them and sell mobiles within pc world and online with the rest of electricals. Their insistence on turning around mobile will be the death of the core business in the end.

[rajni120] 20/6/2019 08:17

They love carphoneHas killed dixonsThick and stuoid deicionsNo doubt will still keep until dixons ends up like comet

[aim11] 20/6/2019 08:09

Game over for this business imho Mobile has killed off the ability to invest in the core as leverage is now too high so they are having to accelerate cost cutting. That’s no way to grow and survive in this tough competitive environment. They should have axed mobile completely 12 months ago but for some reason the CEO ignored it

Yes good luck all for tomorrow a rise up before is usually a good sign.

Lol you not missing anything!!

[hades1] 16/6/2019 20:03

Understand Been on this planet for over 50 yrs but never read the Express or Star so that explains it!

[tim 3] 16/6/2019 19:37

Read one in the express but it's not on their online site also if you look on google news searching Dixon's carphone there are a coup on there.

[hades1] 16/6/2019 14:03
