Simply Wall St. - Daily update:

First half dividend of UK£0.03 announced
Shareholders will receive a dividend of UK£0.03.
Ex-date: 12th December 2024
Payment date: 17th January 2025
Dividend yield will be 5.4%, which is higher than the industry average of 3.7%.
Sustainability & Growth

Dividend is covered by both earnings (68% earnings payout ratio) and cash flows (10% cash payout ratio).
The dividend has decreased over the past 10 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments.
EPS is expected to grow by 48% over the next 3 years, which should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover.

They previously stated the obvious about being a very volatile stock.
That makes HFD a brilliant stock to monitor. Buy low sell high or take profits when sensible. Made lots with HFD over the years doing this and if as stated EPS is expected to grow 48% over 3 years, that is rocket fuel for the share price

Halfords is demonstrating resilience and strategic growth through its highly successful Fusion Motoring Services programme, delivering exceptional sales and profit increases. The company is accelerating its rollout of Fusion sites to 40 this year, highlighting strong growth potential. Despite a slight ~1% decline in interim revenue and pre-tax profit, Halfords improved gross margins (+160bps YoY) and exceeded market expectations for interim profit.

While facing £23m in additional costs from UK Budget changes, the company’s strong cost-saving initiatives and pricing power in its Autocentres segment provide mitigation. The recent 9% stock rally underscores market confidence in its strategic direction, trimming YTD losses to ~31%.

Recommendation: BUY

Yesterday was such an obvious buy in day. HFD is a well run business with good plans and financially stable. A good one to tuck away for a profitable future.

The share price fell precipitously after the budget. So what is the quantum of the damage? Min wage for under 21s is up 16%. So how many under 21s does Halfords have? Minimum wage up 6.7% for over 21s. I estimate the NI bill increases by £8.5m based on 10,500 employees earning an average £25k. But would welcome other views.

Does anyone here know what's going on with HFD today? This is a huge fall on no news as far as I can see. Shorts on HFD are actually reducing. Volume today is not high - interested to see any sensible thoughts. Either this is an opportunity or something calamitous is on the horizon; which is it?

HFD held steady last week, didn't drop with the wider market. Let's see how next week goes, IMV a gap fill to 200p is on the cards. AIMO, DYOR.

From the preliminary results announcement in the summer:


Next company update

Given the material shift in the business model towards Services, B2B and Motoring, an update on trading after the summer and festive periods is less relevant for the Group than it once was. We will therefore cease our 20-week and Q3 trading updates held in September and January, and replace these with business updates in mid-October and mid-April shortly after our half year and full year period ends.


Well Halfords, mid-October was this week. Next week is late October. The week after is the end of October. Do what you say you're going to do. I hope this isn't because bad numbers take longer to add up.

The share price has been flat - an update is needed.

Halfords ticking along nicely here.
Ironically nearly the exact same share price as Abrdn, approx 147.5p as I write, I hold equal amounts of both, and together they average about 7.65% divis. Which is nice ;)

Aiming for both to double over next couple of years. GLA.

there's a lot to be said for going to a shop with a tape measure, looking at the the thing you want to buy, checking its dimensions before paying for it, and taking it home yourself. often quicker than 'click and collect'. i call it, 'look and collect'. sometimes, online is not the way.

incidentally, I bought a large car battery from amazon a few years ago. I was expecting the transaction to go wrong, given the weight and nature of the product, and was pleasantly surprised when it all worked out. as far as i can tell, no one in the chain of people handling the battery seems to have dropped it on the floor (causing it to break). Given that delivery people are often on minimum wage and don't enjoy climbing three flights of stairs with something the weight of a small farmyard animal, i felt it was a risky method of purchase and counted myself lucky that I didn't have to send it back. I don't think I'd do it again though.

I think you're possibly right about HFD's online offering. It's had a poor reputation for years. I bought a trolley jack recently from them online and they delivered it efficiently. But if I was buying a bicycle, I'd definitely go to a store and do the transaction face to face.

I reckon the basic issue is that they probably don't really see themselves as an online retailer. the heavy/large/high-cost nature of their products and services encourages in-person transactions. People buy small stuff from amazon. A bit of a deficit in this day and age, but given that their target is the automotive market, maybe not a disaster. They could probably do better though. The share price definitely agrees with you.

Bought in today in mid 140s.
Little debt, still profitable.
The storm clouds will pass and the sun will come out again.
I wonder if there will be a bit if opportunisn appearing on depressed share price?





-though £1.4bn was combined value. Not hfd takeout :)


A £1.4 billion bid for Halfords from Redde Northgate has been dismissed because it “undervalues” the bike and car parts retailer, according to reports.

That may not be the end of a potential deal, though. The Sunday Telegraph quoted a source as saying: “There were discussions about what an integration of the two businesses might look like, but there were questions over the valuations of both companies.

“Both share prices weren’t doing fantastically well at the time, so there is nothing live at the moment. However, it could come back.”
