Good news via Exec Team.The Personal Exec Director i hear had decided not to leave Halfords and has decided to stay and aid the growth of the business and its people as well as aid the transition of the new CEO.Good news.

The weather being good is were they make a fortune.We're in for a six week heat wave, that should shift a hell of a lot of bikes this quarter.So two brokers so far have got it wrong.....?It looks as if they really have underestimated the strength and resilience of this company!

And Liberum Capital reiterates is Sell stance with target 340p. They are wrong so far today too!

Jill is hosting an investor conference at 10am.They usually update the city earlier so i think the share price will further act positively after the conference.Dutche Bank got thier sell target of £3.10 and downgrade wrong again!??Thats why they are on the brink of bankruptcy....

Well the business seems to be maturing and definitely heading in the right direction for future growth.Their e-capture rate is amazing from from being able to now match 46% of all customers needs from 3% in such a short time is commendable.Their on line business is moving from strength to strength!The new distribution centre is going well and i belive that it will more than revoup its original investment and speed up goods in transit. i The investment in the business this year and next year is most promising as most of our peers are not investing at all in thier business and actively cutting back future investment.This investment and the decline of the pound versus dollar has some impact on the bottom line.However Revenues are continuing to grow and comparable sales versus last year in reference to easter clearly show them ahead on an LFL basis point so far this year.The weather is going to be hot going tthe next six weeks, but not as hot as Halfords tills.A sound and solid future investment!

Consensus, as Jill said

[kendonagasaki] 24/5/2017 17:33

Lets see what the sunshine brings tomorrow?

[kendonagasaki] 17/5/2017 19:19

Nice bounce back today.Opened another long at 3.49.3.85 is the gap up come results day!

[ashbox] 17/5/2017 11:10

Yes, HSBC Downgrade but still 380p target (from 415p)

[argylerich] 17/5/2017 09:52

Downgrade was by HSBC

[toffeeman] 17/5/2017 09:31

Kendo - this is your NXT!

[kendonagasaki] 17/5/2017 09:02

The Chairman has already said trading is in line with expectations!

[kendonagasaki] 17/5/2017 08:54

Ideal opening point here id say.Brokers were wrong 6 months ago.

[argylerich] 17/5/2017 08:31

broker downdrade?

[kendonagasaki] 15/5/2017 09:59

This is following the same pattern as last time.It gets taken down just before results are due whenever they are positive.If they get to about 3.50 id say a screaming buy imo.Good chance of a 25-35 point gain from where we are today at 3.57.DYO research as always.

[kendonagasaki] 12/5/2017 14:07

Toffee, will do.Im expecting this do have done well last quarter and i hear trading has gone well since the start of the new financial year.Have a dabble!

[toffeeman] 12/5/2017 08:00

I'm good Kendo but not dabbling with HFD.

I was so going to short NXT the day before results but it was so close to a gap up I didn't - and I should have!

Keep taking the tablets :)

[kendonagasaki] 11/5/2017 20:26

Hi Toffee!Hows it going?Having a dabble before results day?

[toffeeman] 11/5/2017 19:32

Bloody hell Kendo - they should be using the bikes to deliver not trucks to deliver the bikes :)

[kendonagasaki] 11/5/2017 08:56

Clipper Logistics have signed an 8 year deal with Halfords.That new distribution service centre must be busy?Positive news!

[kendonagasaki] 10/5/2017 09:02

I hear halfords ate doing rather well!Roll. on results day!

[ashbox] 03/5/2017 11:20

M&S clothing and homeware a much higher profile job and with it the potential to make or break a reputation. I guess Jill is an extremely ambitious lady who could not turn the offer down. Not good for Halfords in the short term but at least the reasons for leaving are clear....

[kendonagasaki] 03/5/2017 08:37

He is telling us they will not be bad.In line with expectation.Or better?
