As we languish above £3, Investec reiterate their £4 target....We shall see.

Results are Okay and Halfords saw steady growth in LFL sales and revenue. But below the surface underlying PBT is down 10% to £36.8m from £40.8m. When we make a comparison from five years ago, then H1 2012 is £54.7m, a decrease of 30%.
Management has already mentioned the weak pound is the main culprit for the drop of earnings. Another look back to the past (before the pound was weak) see operating margin has averaged 8% from 2013 to 2017. Before that margins were hovering around 12%. It should tell you that Halfords is facing stiffer competition.

Historically, Halfords has seen their share price collapsed to £1.60 during 2012 before making new highs. The question is will we likely see new highs or the next leg lower towards the £2 mark.

If xmas trading is poor it will not look good.Lot of retailers out their not hitting the numbers.Hope the new CEO has a strategic plan of attack...when he decides to start, after xmas.

Apart from a quick tree shaking exercise followed by a rise back up.....

[argylerich] 09/11/2017 08:45

Looks like a fairly sound set of results here. FX issues have been absorbed and no major drop off in any sector, can't see a justification for the fall.

[sparty1] 31/10/2017 16:19

hmm ,big drop today? b/rock increased again?

If you want to trade regularly and reliably 5/10% in 2 days try airline shares ..reliably sporadic!

Looking at re entering here ,just wondering why the drop.Someone smelt some bad monthly figures?

[argylerich] 29/10/2017 16:45

No change in their position for last 2 weeks

[kendonagasaki] 29/10/2017 15:33

If Blackrock are increasing thier short posistion id advise extreme caution also.

[gswredland] 19/10/2017 11:35

Thanks Arglyle

[argylerich] 17/10/2017 17:46

Blackrock have been increasing their short

[ashbox] 17/10/2017 14:13

Share can't seem to hang on to any gains even though the news flow has been positive.

[argylerich] 29/9/2017 09:49

will we see the 200dma passed and held today?

[argylerich] 21/9/2017 10:02

Broken the 20 and 50 day averages comfortably now. Onward and upward.

[mattcookson] 21/9/2017 09:40

This will easily smash the 370-380 mark over the coming days. Strong business with solid performance, will continue to do well over the coming weeks!

[gswredland] 20/9/2017 16:45

Let's hope so

[kendonagasaki] 20/9/2017 15:10

Moving up to £3.50 here easily!

[argylerich] 15/9/2017 07:33

More traffic = bigger pie to earn a % of?

[mattcookson] 14/9/2017 14:26

WTF is wrong with the market?? JP Morgan reiterates the same rating of 360 as before and share price goes down by 3.5%???

[linton5] 14/9/2017 13:56

I got lucky bought at 311 2days sold at 325 phew

[m4rtinu] 14/9/2017 12:37

Watching this with interest. Was a holder for a brief period a little while ago. The price movements seem a bit volatile at present, not least today's rollercoaster (and only midday!)

Can't make up my mind where this is going, as trying to time entry point. From annual report it seems plan is to increase debt (for acquisitions?). Auto side doesn't seem very profitable. On line doing OK and getting people into to stores for C&C. Shorting just under 5%. No pension deficit to worry about.

Also, I like cycling. Not sure a very cold winter would help that side.

Any comments welcome. MU

[mattcookson] 13/9/2017 15:36

Deja vu moment here :):

Nice rise this afternoon, you can't keep a good company down for too long. This is a solid business, with a great track record and performance and let's not forget the divi. Strong buy IMO

[kendonagasaki] 13/9/2017 11:34

Well Liberum maintain £3.40.N+1 Singer £4.00 buy.Looking for new upgrades very soon.We're going to in for a very very harsh and bitter winter so the weather will be on HFD's side in the run up to xmas.HFD seem to have been left in great shape and 'fit for the future' good luck Jill.
