Halfords Share Discussion Threads

[eastbourne1982] 21/1/2015 08:52

Halfords is a good share to trade imho, long and short, I was a buyer recently at around the £4.30 mark however I'd short it if it went near £5.

Akbar's a clown. I called it wrong but some late info changed my mind. Too late anyway I'm out Til next time

Well you quickly changed your tune akbar.

And you Nick.So your brother is an area manager? yer right.

What i suggest is, all you trolls, led by kendokamakazitrader go down to your nearest Halfords,buy some tandems and ride off into the sunset.Bye.

It's a repeat, look set for 9-12%

[nick9013] 21/1/2015 07:40

Net op costs down. They will like that. This should get back up to 475 -480 easily on that. Well done to whoever bought yesterday.

Looks impressive. Should be a good day

· Car Maintenance: strong performance in all categories; fitting of parts reached record levels
· Car Enhancement: continued decline in Sat Nav and Audio, offset by an excellent Car Cleaning performance
· Travel Solutions: good performance driven by Travel Equipment, Child Car Seats and a new seasonal gift offering
· Online Retail: growth of 16.5%, representing a record 12.9% of total Retail sales
· Autocentres: positive momentum maintained with improved LfL performance, aided by lower-margin tyres

Well I know the story because my brothers an area manager lol .... However no pun dyor but anyone who knows me on this board knows when it comes to hfds my calls are 90% accurate. But as I said this I'm sitting out this 1. Good luck all

Share price looking good in the run up to results. I heard a different story re pre Xmas deliveries that they were so busy logistics just couldn't keep up.

[nick9013] 20/1/2015 13:07

Very true this happened on more that 70 deliveries apparently. Not good and that's why Jason was pushed out the door

[kazoom] 20/1/2015 12:47

Very useful find Kendo, but I'm not sure how to square that with the "mini trading statement" on the 8th

Trading for the 13 weeks ended 26 December 2014 continued to be strong and was in line with management's expectations.

As you say we'll see tomorrow, I'm staying in for the moment though.

[nw99] 20/1/2015 12:43

Thanks followed your advice and sold

[kendonagasaki] 20/1/2015 12:01

If they have had logistic problems of getting stock into stores for Xmas it's bound to have an effect on profits and turnover.If they announce a weak set of figures this will go below £4.Let's see what tomorrow brings?

[akbar:] 20/1/2015 11:14

I'm out. Thanks for the heads up.

[kendonagasaki] 20/1/2015 10:48

Nick I've contacted the company it's true.Jason Keegan was Director of logistic and supply.He is no longer with the business.

[eastbourne1982] 20/1/2015 10:35

Cashed in my long this morning, only made a few points in the end, didn't bounce as I thought it would and I don't want to be holding into results etc just in case there is some negativity, still watching closely.

[nick9013] 20/1/2015 10:32

Correct. I heard the same I'm staying away this time. As I said Halfords is very easily read normally with good research,but this time I feel it's a coin toss. So I'm staying away. Good luck all in and don't forget dyor

[kendonagasaki] 20/1/2015 09:48

Dozy, I can't confirm this, but I have heard a rumour that the company had major issues with the supply chain that left many stores without stock this Xmas. As I say I can't confirm this as I've heard from someone else.However this someone else states it to be so, and tells me the new senior logistics director Jason Keenan or Keegan of Halfords, is no more at his post.I just need someone to confirm or deny that its true.If it is why has he gone so suddenly?Did he walk?Was he pushed?Who fired the gun?Did he just want a change of carreer.I might give halfords a call to confirm?Not looking good if its true?

[nick9013] 19/1/2015 09:39

I think many are waiting to bail out here with recent news and boss man leaving. Trading over xmas wasn't amazing either. I'm out at the moment but we shall see. Hfd is normally quite predictable.

IMS due on Wednesday.
