Kendo. Halfords have not made any redundancies. You seem to be an ex employee with a grudge. Get over it.

Oh look the traders have appeared with no idea about financials.

Best check their changing attitude in the past before taking anything at face value.

What you need to consider is what funds will do and that depends on where they can find decent retail investments.

Have a look at PETS rating and compare with HFD

Disappointing trading update. Glad I don't sell in first 20 minutes

Also not a good day to release news - everywhere is tanking so that will affect it

Sold mine at 406p, not sure where this is going so prefer to bank a small profit.

[stringdog] 17/6/2021 07:40

Opening price anyone?

[wanttowin] 17/6/2021 07:34

Brilliant performance but outlook news is a concern, shortage of parts and 'a return to normal trading is highly uncertain'. It's not all a bed of roses imo.

Two more years will give a more accurate picture of where this is going.Caution advised.

Looking at the results.They are spending money faster than they are making it.Retail up, but should be as everyone else was shut.Mobile tyres on the drive growing and gaining market share but at what cost?Halfords Auto Centres well down and still not performing.On-line up 110 percent, yes but so is 90 percent of the UK.Peel away the gloss and this is a business that got lucky in Covid-19 debacle. They made 50 percent of all retail store management redundant and made full time roles redundant.In theory they have sacked, made redundant, got ridden of all their trained and experienced staff.Don't believe me?Walk into any halfords stores speak to staff and they will tell you what's really been going on.In fact they tell me the retail sector has so many vacancies to fill because of redundancies and staff just walking out,What really goes on behind the curtain is another thing.Proceed with caution here. Novice CEO at the helm imo.

Getting closer to a jump upwards.

Shame we haven’t got manufacturing still, as there is a dire bike parts shortage.

Its also a shame that there aren’t more independent bike mechanics as you could live off the people who bring their bikes to be fixed after Halfords have “serviced̶1; them.

I bet everyone a thousand pounds each that halfords no longer make it into the best 100 companies to work for?

Halfords on a roll as Britons ride out the pandemic on bikes and in cars
But faced with online rivals, the company is switching focus from sales to servicing, especially of electric cars

Halfords, Britain’s biggest bicycle and motoring parts retailer, has been a beneficiary of lockdown as the country got on its bike and used its car to take domestic holidays.

On Thursday the company expects to report a surge in pre-tax profits to between £90m to £100m for the year to April, beating analysts’ £70m estimates. Its profits were just under £56m last year and £59m in 2019.

And the trends that have boosted sales at Halfords over the past 12 months are set to continue. With ongoing uncertainty about travel abroad, many people will be holidaying in the UK again this summer. This will boost demand for bikes and accessories, but also for car parts as families choose to drive to a British holiday destination.

RBC Initiates with tgt 450p Outperform

[greco600] 07/6/2021 08:12

Halfords are perfectly positioned to take advantage of all these British holidays/camping exc.More UK driving which they can also benefit from.

[bigbigdave] 28/5/2021 08:15

Breaking out here

EDIT: well it was, seller holding it back at the moment. They will be done at some point.
