good to see better volumes on the trades - hopefully these will get to 10p before the next newsflow.. :)

I think it is all there in the interims, the turnaround is progressing. The poorly performing divisions are improving, eg kitbag and the education supplies biz and are back into growth. The catalog business is performing well and management are making all the right moves there. Granted the turnaround is slower than was originally expected when current management took over, however if you compare recent results to previous progress is def. afoot. GLA

Could it be that people think that Christmas purchases will soon be arriving, and FDL will profit from it?

This rising price is very good news but I am unable to understand it.
Is it all on the back of the W H Ireland circular ? Could anyone tell me what it said please ?

Another new 2012 high today, wonderful to see some positive movement, it has been a while.

mesquida, do you have a copy of the circular you could post?

GLA

great move in recent days! would be great to see this at 8-9p before the next news release!!

[mesquida] 16/8/2012 18:25

W.H.IRELAND circular out today with 12p price target.

[penciles2] 16/8/2012 18:18

one to watch,nice 20% rise.

[fugwit] 16/8/2012 12:53

Surprise surprise the IG spread opens up wide like they are swimming for plankton.

[fugwit] 16/8/2012 12:23

I make that a new high for 2012 today. FDL have been coming on very nicely since the interims. At this rate it may be time to think about adding in the not too distant.......Good luck all.

Happy days!

[alanrex] 14/8/2012 00:28

indeed - good move today but i couldnt see why?

[billybankrupt] 13/8/2012 13:58

What we could benefit from is information as to why

[this_is_me] 13/8/2012 12:56

share price looking better.

[fugwit] 26/7/2012 08:40

Seems to be a reasonable update, sounds like Kitbag may finally have turned the corner, hopefully being cash generative going forward. The long slow turnaround continues, and management continue to execute to the stated plan. Nothing to complain about here imho.

[empirestate] 26/7/2012 07:49

not a bad update here. my original ones are in the sock draw, but i may pick up a few at the bell.

[this_is_me] 26/7/2012 07:33

Sales on the up. Things looking good all round, forward P/E less than 3. It looks now to be a fairly certain survivor and should have a share price above 10p.

[empirestate] 06/7/2012 08:31

interesting some more early buyers following on from yester

[empirestate] 06/7/2012 00:38

i wonder what sparked the run of buying ealier today.

[lord gnome] 12/6/2012 08:51

The Education business would make a nice bolt-on for NWS.

[masurenguy] 12/6/2012 07:33

Sales up 1%, net debt up 1% and operating profit down by 21%. Pretax profits up by 52% to £10.7m (£7.0m) due to a 48% drop in financing costs to £10.2m (£19.7m). This fall in finance costs was entirely
as a result of the rights issue and fundraising completed in March last year. At yesterdays closing price the shares were circa 42% below the rights issue price at that time.

Express Gifts (18%) and Healthcare (2%) increased their operating profits which declined in all other 4 divisions, resulting in an overall fall of 21% for the group as a whole. With net debt of £230m, they are going to have to make some further disposals in due course to reduce this net deficit position since this is not going to be significantly reduced by increased profitability in the forseeable future. Ultimately I can see the Group retreating to a core merchandising operation of Express Gifts & Kleeneze (53% of sales) with the disposal of their Education, Healthcare and Kitbag operations in due course.

Would be nice to make the break above 5p

Have waited long enough

[knigel] 10/6/2012 11:06

Yes, but what is the NAV? Results will be interesting... I'll be disappointed if the share price is not back over 4p by the end of this week
