Why are they selling today? At least take the dividends and sell the shares on 25/08

if everyone starts changing phones every 4 years not 2, then surely apple is a sell too, don't they still have over half their revenue from iphones?

Yes I am paying over £50 a month for an S7 Edge.So when that ends early next year I will probably just get a sim. I no longer need an upgrade every 2 years. So it could be a problem.

On mobiles I do agree they have some challenges ahead as the highly profitable 2 year contracts start getting less popular as people move over to sim only deals which are forecast to be the plan of choice for the majority of customers by 2021.

Customers upgrade less often now as the benefits are not as major and they can simply move over to much cheaper sim only when their contract ends.

if he bought back some of the stock he sold @ 310+ it would be a good start..

Divi of 7.75 equals share price fall to low 240 and who know what happens after that.

"And the fact that nearly all brokers have for sometime had these as a strong buy with targets well over £4 tells you all you need to know about broker recs."

that's usually a good contrarian indicator - ie AVOID

Time for Seb to go !

[topdoc] 14/8/2017 09:28

Time for Seb to put his hand in his pocket

[muscletrade] 14/8/2017 07:35

Deutsche Bank reiterate their BUY this morning with 400p target.

[kiwi2007] 13/8/2017 23:24

Probably won't get into the FTSE100 now so I guess any funds buying on the presumption that they would (or will already have) dump(ed) them - that will have exacerbated the recent fall.

That, plus the feed through effect of the falling GBPound on consumers now starting to show. (Seems the Brexiteers forgot to tell the masses that the pound in their pocket would be worth significantly less when on their jollies in Europe etc.).

[topdoc] 13/8/2017 11:20

What new facts has this broker found.
It seems that his report is based purely on assumptions which the market already knew.
lemmings follow lemmings
lets see what happens next few weeks

[libertine] 13/8/2017 10:25

I would rather wait for some more figures from the company than take the word of one broker who has basically put two fingers up to all the other brokers covering.

[113mike] 13/8/2017 08:24

I'll be picking some up in the week or two for the div income in my sipp drawdown pension and share price recovery. Will try to pick my time as share price might drop a little more imho. GLA to all DC. holders!

article in times weekender brings gloom.
where is this going on open any ideas

[aim11] 12/8/2017 20:05

The "star" broker was telling everyone to buy for the last year, first a target of 430, then 355, now when it's 265 he decides it's a huge sell with a target of 235. If he continues to get it so wrong dixons will be back at 350 by xmas

[topdoc] 12/8/2017 19:42

Seems to be around long term support. next support is around 190 Time Seb and co bought in.
company makes a profit pays a divi has not highlighted any immediate issues along comes " star " broker and down we go.

[tim 3] 12/8/2017 11:35

Thanks aim,interesting.

[aim11] 12/8/2017 09:43

tim3 - yes that 50mn "one-off" from a change in revenue accounting was flagged by the company and UBS at results. On the conference call management also said there were some one-offs working in the other direction last year, such as property refit costs and some stores running at half-time due to refurb which this coming year will be open 100%. They also said there was significant cost cutting to still be done over the next few years. Both issues obviously weren't talked about yesterday.

[topdoc] 11/8/2017 23:47

Lets see what sort of rebound occurs.
Surprised none of the doomsday crowd have shown up like Sanks et all.
Apparently no notifiable short positions in play.

[tim 3] 11/8/2017 23:13

Yeah and they are also saying that the only reason the last results looked good was because of one offs and without them uk profits would have been down 10-15% again this issue has been well publicised before.
