[tricky1992000] 04/9/2013 17:01

There have been no announcements, I hope your not trading with insider knowledge?

[kendonagasaki] 02/9/2013 09:08

I hear the chief exec of halfords auto centres has left or is leaving!!???Can anyone confirm or deny this? My source tells me that he was the brains behind the real growth at Halfords Auto centres over the last few years.He must have gone to a much better company. Why is or has there not been any announcement made?????????He's gonna be a tough cookie to replace if you ask me!So 3.25p here we come.

[kendonagasaki] 31/8/2013 18:08

Nope..... 3.25p is too much.Wait for qtr 2 disappointment in sales, combined with bombing the hell out of SYRIA and hey presto 3 pounds or below in an instant.This is one of the most unstable shares prices in the ftse250.And I will begin to get even more unstable....not for widows,orphans or investment bankers IMHO!

HALFORDS SHARE PRICE IS IN DANGEROUS TERRITORY !

[kendonagasaki] 28/8/2013 00:54

Always nice to see this chump of a share price valuation skirt irrational levels once again!?????????4 weeks to stem poor losses on sales IMO.Those cheap tacky TV adds are aimed at responsive muppets and if that is the way forward then longevity of this for said campaign is well and truly lost within this inept marketing dept?Halfords was bottom last year in the service 'offered survey' conducted by WHICH magazine in 2012?I have it on good merit that the evaluation of that service improvement is now 89% this year!?? Great?...no. Pathetic?...yes!!!!!!!!!!One year on and the sales for qtr 2 will not be spectacular IMO based on climatic revenue disruption due to the Olympics and a UK true Brit 2012 Tour De France in 2012. That coupled with the poor "supposed improvement" of a customer service revolution is not looking good. Halfords share price is looking very racy today.With no major development or improvement in sales or EBITDA IMO as far as I can see, it's a sell.It's a SELL because it is overpriced, over valued, over hyped and over the hill!Do you know they will mix you a paint in any colour you choose and have over 50,000 colours to choose from!Wow Weeeeee! ( apparently its one of its worst profit generative streams) and some idiot thinks its the future!??I think they can also order you some dodgy brake pads or your old ford sierra estate Ghia?....what the buck is that about??All I see is chaos, inept service and selling the old consumer the ice they think they need instead of the ice cream they need to feast upon.A boring and inept over priced business that sells more trash than DL BOY IMO!

gap up to 3.95p soon

[plastow] 19/8/2013 10:42

even the naked trader called this one wrong and closed his short

[argylerich] 08/8/2013 11:36

Put your money on it then. Again.

[kendonagasaki] 08/8/2013 10:15

Last year we the Olympic build up frenzy and Wiggo mania.This year we have neither and a lot of rain all of a sudden.IMHO I think they will have a poor qtr 2! They about much as said they would. My only wonder is how much sales have fallen if this is to be the case and how fast. I suppose we will get a true reflection very soon.

[kendonagasaki] 06/8/2013 19:41

Well we all know they are not going to beat last years second quarter figures?

[plastow] 06/8/2013 12:34

Halfords: Price target upgrades
11th July 2013, 13:23

Analysts at HSBC and N+1 Singer have increased their price targets on Halfords [LON:HFD] in response to the company's first quarter interim management statement, published on Wednesday.

HSBC reaffirmed its 'neutral' recommendation and increased its price target to 380 pence per share (from 340 pence), while N+1 Singer stuck with its bullish 'buy' call and raised its price target to 425 pence a share (previously 380 pence).

N+1 Singer said: "'Getting into Gear 2016' was one of the more impressive strategic updates we have seen for some time and tackles the key issues head on. There can be no doubting Matt Davies's passion and ambition to succeed.

"Expectations and forecasts were rebased after the prelims but upgrade momentum is now returning after a strong Q1.

"The route map for the turnaround is transparent and our analysis of potential share gains in core categories suggest that management's £1bn sales target in FY'16 is very achievable."

Separately, Cantor Fitzgerald upgraded its recommendation to 'hold' from 'sell', in a note to investors yesterday, believing the results highlighted impressive underlying performance.

Broker Forecasts consensus data shows that 36 per cent of brokers rate the shares as a 'buy', 50 per cent as a 'hold' and 14 per cent as a 'sell'.

At 1:14pm: Halfords Group share price was up 5.25 pence at 359.75 pence.
