28/11/2015 11:34 | Jimmy,Agree, have these on my watchlist because IMV they are undervalued, not because of any potential bid.Disagree though about Amazon not being a retailer but a technology/IT company. They are an Internet retailer, they started as an online bookstore and they are now the largest internet retailer in the US. Yes they have spun off to develop their own electronic/IT technology products but their core business is still retail.DD | discodave4 | |
28/11/2015 09:49 | I forgot to mention that I think home is a fine company on its own without the need of a takeover | jimmywilson612 | |
28/11/2015 09:48 | It's all interesting points but in my opinion if your buying or holding Argos with the view of a takeover bid from Amazon or eBay you'll be disappointed. I can understand the arguements put forward but I don't think either would. After attending a recent events at Amazon HQ they don't even see themselves as a retailer!! If you go on LinkedIn and look up vendor managers(who are their buyers) you'll see most have backgrounds in consultancy rather than other retailers. They are a technology company who happen to be a retailer, and that is the direction Jeff bezo will take them. | jimmywilson612 | |

27/11/2015 21:37 | The decision about if Amazon or eBay might be interested in Argos breaks into a number of factors 1. where does the future lie for retailing - a few years ago the headlines were about the death of the high street, now it's about convenience which is about buying via different channels and this includes the high street as there is still no faster way to get you hands on something than driving to a shop and buying it. (at the moment) 2. confidence - shoppers like the reassurance of knowing that their purchases will arrive and if there is a problem they can get it resolved quickly, again bricks and mortar with real people is the best way to go. 3. Speed - The market is moving to fast fulfillment - Argos have cracked same day, 7 days a week full UK coverage, the rest will have to catch up, but who can match this cost effectively? 4. price - I don't need to explain this. So you bring all of the above together and what do you see? Well I think there is a possibility that Amazon or eBay would purchase Argos. Here is another compelling reason. Argos have cracked same day delivery and is the first company in the world to offer a national same day delivery coverage. For a global retailer like eBay or Amazon to roll this out world wide what would you do? start from scratch, or buy the company and skills who did it first? | jonny33 | |

27/11/2015 19:26 | at least ive got a discussion about it Bertrand Bodson - Chief Digital Officer Bertrand started his career at BCG in Belgium before moving to the US and joining AMAZON in its early days. He then co-founded Bragster.com, one of the largest VC-backed social media platforms in its space. Since then, Bertrand led the digital transformation of EMI, where he was Executive Vice President and, in 2013, joined Argos as its first-ever Digital Director. He was appointed Chief Digital Officer of Home Retail Group in March 2014, assuming broader responsibility for the expanding digital businesses across the Group and for Argos’ IS, and joined the Group Executive Board in June 2014. George Goley George joined Home Retail Group in June 2015 from US retailer, Sears, where he had been Chief Information Officer - Online since 2012. Previously, George spent six years with AMAZON - as Director of Software Development and, latterly, Vice President Technology – and held numerous roles at Microsoft and MSN. | oldvic | |
27/11/2015 16:02 | Amazon would not be interested in buying Home. The reason, UK taxation. | imperial3 | |
27/11/2015 15:13 | One store and 840 Argos stores is very different.Would. Amazon want the same sq ft store size in the same locations? In my view , not. If Amazon did have a physical presence it will be more a collection point and a showroom. | jimmywilson612 | |
27/11/2015 14:40 | Can I add something to the discussion. Amazon HAS already opened its first 'bricks and mortar' bookshop in Seattle. hxxp://arstechnica.c Perhaps then it's looking for more sites and also looking not just at books but also other products. i.e. almost like an Argos.... If this is their strategy (and i'm not saying it is) then Argos would be the perfect fit! | bsharman3 | |
27/11/2015 14:26 | As we all know,their online business is becoming increasingly significant as the years go by. | imperial3 | |
27/11/2015 13:19 | Who knows what Amazons long term plans are and whether or not they want bricks and mortar - they definitely need / want stand alone transport logistics IMV. On the fence as to whether or not Amazon (not EBay) would make a bid. Time will tell.One fact I didn't realise - there is an Argos store within 10 minutes for the majority of people.GLDD | discodave4 | |
27/11/2015 12:13 | I agree with you DD in the sense that if HOME can execute their business plan well, I think customers will buy into them an really challenge Amazon in the market, especially considering Amazon brand will come under fire in the future as well. I disagree however with the view of hoping an ebay/amazon would look to take them over as the businesses are vastly different. Ebay/Amazon are technology companies first and foremost - They dont have the expertise of having a huge capex/assets under them. | jimmywilson612 | |
27/11/2015 09:51 | Black Friday,make or break? Anyone been into their local Argos store? Are they busy? Queues? | imperial3 | |
27/11/2015 00:19 | IMV they are not "vastly" different businesses, far from it. Whilst Amazon has no bricks and mortar / high street presence they both do have Internet offerings, and both are retailers foremost.Argos can beat Amazon on lower value items and are only slightly more expensive, not always though, for higher value items. Their bricks and mortar also provides a cheap alternative IMV for those who find it more convenient to quickly pick up the items (originally click and collect & now fast track collection) rather than having to stay at home and wait for delivery, even if it is next day.IMV in a couple of years upon completion of their transformation plan, Argos could, if all goes well, become a very serious challenger to Amazon.HOME just needs to offload Homebase and focus on Argos IMV.hTTp://www.thegu | discodave4 | |
26/11/2015 20:11 | bricks and mortar in every town | oldvic | |
26/11/2015 19:50 | Oldvic - there is not a chance either ebay/amazon would take on home retail group - they are vastly different businesses. | jimmywilson612 | |
26/11/2015 19:38 | amazon or ebay will buy argos still think it probable latest board member from amazon why is that i wonder | oldvic | |
26/11/2015 10:06 | Good posts from kalkanite and jonny 33. Well worth a read,and they sum up the scenarios in a well reasoned way. | imperial3 | |
26/11/2015 08:47 | <<> When two businesses work in collaboration eg Argos and eBay or Argos and Sainsbury's it takes time to build the relationship and understand how the benefits can be maximised and risks overcome, there is a lot more to come for next year. ;) The problem with Homebase has been no investment, this is still a challenge when they are only making £20m profit a year, something simple like new functionality in IT can costs millions, and that comes from the profit line. However you have to invest in order to grow so it's a tricky situation, but most important is having a vision, sadly Homebase has not had this, it is unsure of it's place in the market, eg it tries to sell Homeware and compete with John Lewis and Ikea, but also sells DIY and compete with B&Q/Wickes, it sells kitchens and competes against Wren/B&Q/Wickes/ Which begs the question what are Homebase known for? If you can't answer that question eg known for product x or known for price or value or quality then you have just discovered what the problem is with Homebase, it's not known for anything and is jack of all trades and master of none. If you look at AO (Appliances on line) they are known for price and speedy delivery. John Lewis for quality of service, Ikea for simple design at great prices. Homebase has lost it's way and unless they can come up with a plan will continues to be lost. Lets hope the new CEO has what it takes. As for Argos it know's what it want to be and has a plan which it is executing, there are speed bumps along the way but assuming it does not get derailed in two years time we'll look at today's share price as a great buying opportunity. | jonny33 |
