8m sell just gone through. Look forward to that RNS...

[jaws6] 27/11/2012 08:51

just seen buy note with 8 p target

Results good, progress is clearly there. Healthcare clearly the star within the group so disposing this is going to be a bitter pill to swallow, but it'll encourage them to bump the price up. Slightly concerned by Kitbag and Kleeneze, both seem to be treading water and their spin on the loss of Kleeneze customers in particular is refreshingly honest. Express Gifts needs to have a good Q4 - everything is late this year so the fact it hasn't gone bananas yet hasn't concerned me at all.

I anticipated a bucketload of 'sell on the news' this morning (when something goes from 3p to 9p in 4 months, what do you expect?) - will be interesting to see how we finish today.

If they dispose of healthcare at a good price - especially in the festive season - we should get some good uplift. Otherwise I see this staying 7-9p until we get more news on Q4 performance - if strong and this operating profit is maintained, we'll get back to where we should be!

Just added as well at 7.30 if healthcare sold will push back to 8.5p area with some luck

[2breakout] 27/11/2012 08:24

why do pi's have to put up with sets?

[cockneyrebel] 27/11/2012 08:23

I've just got more in that auction. As Christmas approaches the traders will all be buying again and any news on the healthcare division being disposed of will send these flying imo.

[billybankrupt] 27/11/2012 08:19

Lets hope the profit taking is over and done with shortly

We can then look forward to the next jump driven by disposals

We also have a bumper Xmas (hoping) to look forward to

[knigel] 27/11/2012 08:14

As i said, perhaps the share price ran ahead of itself? This is a long term hold but some will be profit taking

[cockneyrebel] 27/11/2012 08:12

About 20 sales at the open, the largest 100k lol.

All traders leaping, now watch for funds and investors to pick these up on the dip as the broker notes start getting out imo

[cockneyrebel] 27/11/2012 08:05

Yes, Wyle - I suspect some were expecting more but probably traders that always want whistles and bells. I'm waiting to add as the traders jump out here - turnaround is on the way imo and these were priced to go bust and still are imo.

[wylecoyote] 27/11/2012 07:56

CR, I guess I was expecting better. like you said the Xmas period hasn't happened yet. however the cash flow is disappointing and what is the point in increasing the sales only to achieve a similar level of profit as last year.... s it is an interesting proposition.

[nurdin] 27/11/2012 07:55

The market is looking for signs of continued recovery..and the results today give those in bucketful imo!

[qs9] 27/11/2012 07:54

CR, mixed I reckon. Still underlying losses, Ev is nearly £400 m given £250 m of debt....even looking forward these need IMO to show clean profits and cash consistently to be a buy.....no doubt they will fly now haha!

[cockneyrebel] 27/11/2012 07:50

Looks rather decent to me, what were you expecting Wyle?

It's going forward where the interest is not today's raw numbers tho. Express gifts sales up 9% - Christmas is where retail facing co's make theit money and the sales growth looks pretty strong imo. The bulk of the sales at FDL are Express gifts and that's where the growth is in sales and profits.

Debt is down, get shot of the healthcare division and these could be well on the way to working the debt down much faster imo.

With 1.2p eps forecast and brokers upping that in recent months these could easily be on a PE of 4-5 for the year here or lower imo.

These trade on a quarter sales - the smallest margin rise boosts the bottom line massively.

All imo, dyor etc

You can't knock a 4.6 million loss and yet more exceptional items? Maybe the share price has run ahead of the actual company performance? Its ok but not great imo

[empirestate] 27/11/2012 07:36

you can't knock those stats in this environment

[wylecoyote] 27/11/2012 07:07

doesn't look interesting to me.

[billybankrupt] 26/11/2012 21:39

Good luck everyone

I am not expecting the world, just an offering towards years of committment!

[cornishman33] 26/11/2012 15:52

Took a small punt on these ahead of results tomorrow and after re-reading the write up in SCSW. Also a few decent buys appearing now.

[cockneyrebel] 26/11/2012 14:47

MM's at it today imo - several rescent strong risers off on pathetic volume.

Balancing the books by shaking a few out ahead of the results imo.

CR

[knigel] 24/11/2012 09:17

I think there were less shares in issue when the share price was previouly 30p so imo it will still take some time to get back to this price

[ginty the brave] 24/11/2012 09:11

the last bod comments were very positive. as long as the interim are as good or hopefully even better, then the Sp should shoot up.

how long did it take to fall from 30p? well, turn it on its head.

sit tight chaps. big money to be made here

[cockneyrebel] 23/11/2012 13:28

Chart starting another leg up through that high here?

[bc4] 23/11/2012 11:36

Why are all 9p buys being reported late
