New 5% holder today -- WA CAPITAL -- is the investment vehicle of Will Adderley, the deputy chairman of Dunelm and holder of c£560m of Dunelm stock.

Hopefully he can help/agitate the board to oversee a sustainable turnaround.

And also bullish to see this going up on a day of red. 50p coming up.

Very bullish to see that there is a buyer of significant size at 36p. There is already a perception that retail has been extremely poor in general over the Christmas period so a poor trading update may have a very limited effect. Considering a top up here if the market takes the update reasonably well.

And some larger trades coming in.

Impressive turnaround today. The Next read across has been discarded for some reason..

The price has just turned blue with high volume. Nice to see a queue at the till in the store at Canterbury.

Looks like read across from NXT this morning. Didn't sound great.

indeed indeed

They're turning things around on the retail side. The internet is taking over. A large estate of stores is now a thing of the past in clothing.

Notice the Bluewater FCCN store has closed down. I don't think that's a bad thing, only ever saw too customers in there, and as such I reckon the company was losing hand over fish running the shop. As mentioned previously its the licensing that is this business not the retail side of things. The more they can shrink the retail side the better!

Dlku -profound research.
Based on what, precisely??

[she-ra] 22/12/2015 15:36

TMFMayn - The article makes the assumption that just because it is having a sale it has too much stock. There are loads of retailers having sales such as AllSaints etc

[rubberbullets] 22/12/2015 14:51

im fccn thinking of buying it

[bamboo2] 22/12/2015 09:01

I like the quality of the products from FC and always try to take advantage of the sale, but they had sold out of all the items on my list. It suggests that some things are selling well, and/or they are getting to grips with stock control.

[she-ra] 21/12/2015 16:55

thorne3 - Anything else?

[loafofbread] 18/12/2015 11:06

I just hope FCCN didn't go overboard on winter coats this year as noone is buying.

Ted Baker have just bought a section of The Ugly Brown Building where their HQ is and have an option to by another section of it.

I wonder what they will do with their excess capacity?

French Connection HQ is a 5 minute walk away from Ted Baker,

[irishlass2] 17/12/2015 16:31

Went into FCCN in Canterbury yesterday. Quite a few shoppers. Spoke to one of the staff and she said business is booming at the moment. Let's hope this continues.

Strong close

[smicker] 08/12/2015 20:51

I hadnt noticed it before but now, when i check the "trades" tab, it shows whether the order was executed on the ISDX or LSE. I notice that the ISDX seems to have better prices for a few shares i've checked. Anyone any idea how you route an order to go through ISDX or get its quote
