£2 area or just under or above is huge multi year support look at the long term chart in the header.

Be surprised if they don't test it shortly.

They annouce soon.Well last year i think they had a profit guidance of 71 million.My guesstimate is 61-63 year end going by the last 3 quarters.Just hope they have a real plan going forward or we will proably see a new CEO in 15 months.Europe in recession and its getting worse.

I would have thought that the attached autocentres had vehicle access - the two I know of do. Not much point to having them if they don't.

[hairballradical] 21/3/2019 17:05

Being a significantly car orientated business, I'd expect people don't mind driving to get there. More so than trying to park up near a mall to get access.

But tks for comment.

On the other hand the attached centres occupy less space.

[toffeeman] 21/3/2019 08:42

Autocentres have v low rents

Halfords stores on open malls with high rents

Probs not a goer

[poikka] 20/3/2019 22:21

Right here's my take, for what it's worth.

Halfords sell their traditional garages (sorry, Autocentres); clear their debt, and continue putting up mini Autocentres alongside their stores.

All in favour, say aye - or just give me a green tick :).

Halfords is probably the best and most relevant store left on the high street imo. Well priced electric bikes, first class customer service in store, and very good back up customer service by telephone. Excellent warranties. eg, electric bikes currently have 20% off with trade in, and the battery is covered for 2 years. Well done to Halfords, I don't see how Amazon could ever offer the same level of service for electric bikes

After Brexit everyone will be cycling. Cars are increasingly not welcome in city centres, so more commuting on bikes.

At the same time, people are less and less practically minded - after all, apart from Lego at the age of 5, for the last xx years nobody has been brought up playing with anything mechanical. Taking a rear wheel off a bike to put a new tube in is half a day's job for many folk, as is putting a light bulb into the car (although to be fair its an hours job for a skilled mechanic on many cars, seeing as you have to dismantle half the front end just to get a hand in to take them out).

If Halfords can't make something good out of that then I certainly will.

Looks like a drop to the FTSE small cap index from today?

[21ant] 01/3/2019 20:58

Looks like it’s about to drop out of the FTSE 250.
That’ll help 🙄

Well Kendo - personally I think you're reading the currency 180degrees wrong. But hey, that is the Forex market; and who knows....entirely guess work. However what is fact is that at the turn of the year every hedgie bar none was short GBP; and we are even now smelling burnt fingers as they cover.

I've been watching these for now about 4-5weeks. Still haven't bought, but likely to do so soon as the chart shows clear indications of positive base-building...

[kendonagasaki] 25/2/2019 19:56

Well we have had no cold weather this year and that will hurt against last years Q4 imo.Summer came early to and was a good one so they have tough LFL compareables to beat too?Gonna get tougher in Q1.....still see this heading lower rather than higher at present imo.Retail is the toughest sector at present and the headwinds of recession loom upon the UK and will worsen and very quickly as our illiterate and defunct PM makes a hash of Brexit.The Dow is powering ahead and the dollar will continue to strengthen globally as the facto currency as Europe and the rest of the world hit recession, I pray to the Lord they have sufficiently hedged long term against the dollar as I see the pound on par with the dollar sooner rather than later?Onwards....onwards into the headwinds.

[kendonagasaki] 08/2/2019 12:20

Yes i suppose this is the year for the CEO to stamp his authority and turnthis around or he too might have to go next year.Not expecting a great Q4....May still see below two pound yet too come?

[21ant] 05/2/2019 20:59

Won't be the end of it - slippery slope

[kendonagasaki] 05/2/2019 06:55

Looks like a break down.Lets call out the AA!

[21ant] 04/2/2019 23:14

Ian Carter gone
Steve Knights gone
Even Adam Phillips has left thus the RNS today adding his role to Lorraine’s

[kendonagasaki] 04/2/2019 19:18

Ian Carter put on gardening leave?Well it was gonna happen!

[21ant] 01/2/2019 11:32

Looks like another shake up of the Exec team. Another one of the Dixon’s clan joining at the expense of people who know the business - watch this space!
