28/2/2018 00:56	Yes, EI, some risks. As ever it's about weighing those risks and looking at the value in the shares. I can't say whether the current arrangement will end at some point. Inchcape is useful to the manufacturers and it may be that the manufacturers will always want distributors and retailers? In some parts of the world manufacturers are prohibited from competing with independent retailers. Valuation? Two months into the current year and management sounded confident today. Current year prospective p/e ratio around 10 at c.680p. Dividend yield c. 4%. Share buyback approved. As you say, cautiously run business (eg.borrowings approx equal cash and cash equivalents, and pension fund is in surplus (c. £70 million)). Geographic spread gives some resilience. Eg. good growth reported today at group level, even though the UK retail side is under pressure. US bond and equity markets are nervous due to forecast interest rate rises. May be a bumpy ride, who knows? Some value in Inchcape at 680p, imo. Should be some broker updates following the results. Will see what they say.	ed 123	Read Full Thread Reply
27/2/2018 13:17	Ed my concern longer term would be the future of vehicle distribution/retail, can INCH continue to thrive in a rapidly changing market, will cars be increasingly sold direct from manufacturers to consumers?. Inch went in to the last downturn with approx half a billion in debt from memory, unfortunately this lead to a highly dilutive RI, they have been ultra cautious on gearing since then.	essentialinvestor	Read Full Thread Reply
27/2/2018 12:50	I had a small amount.	essentialinvestor	Read Full Thread Reply
27/2/2018 10:25	Well under 'normal' circumstances 700p seems perfectly reasonable, but the market has the jitters imo. Direct Line even posted a special dividend and not a hint of anything negative and the shares have stayed where they are - not exactly expensive. I just hope that the portfolios of anyone that voted for Brexit suffer the same frustrations as mine, as the whole process is messing things up just as we'd recovered from the dreadful recession. No doubt people will blame politicians, but its the UK voters that voted for it. Unfortunately I think the lessons are going to be learned painfully by the very voters that thought it was going to make Britain great again - or some such daft idea.	yump	Read Full Thread Reply
27/2/2018 10:09	Yes, I too could see comfort in the "confident" statement. Some parts of the business are preforming strongly, plus only 21% of profit comes from the retail (margin pressured side of the business). Shares have steadied now, 672p. With some time for reflection on the strengths of the group and help from buybacks, >700p soon-ish?	ed 123	Read Full Thread Reply
27/2/2018 10:00	The way shares react at the moment to any comments about uncertainty in markets going forwards, even if they do say they're confident of meeting forecasts, it looks like this is going to be 600p, which doesn't make a lot of sense really.	yump	Read Full Thread Reply

22/12/2016 18:50	Well we got an acquisition!, market loves it on first look.	essentialinvestor	Read Full Thread Reply
06/12/2016 10:34	Nice to see Legal & General are buying. Perhaps this might be enough to reverse the downtrend. Need some director purchases now to build confidence!	ppreston1	Read Full Thread Reply
28/11/2016 11:45	Freefall if the share price breeches 600p. Chart looks very grim. Can't see much potential for upside here.	ppreston1	Read Full Thread Reply
23/11/2016 16:33	INCH had bought back a considerable amount of shares daily using the first £50 Million of a 100M authorisation, that stopped following the recent update.	essentialinvestor	Read Full Thread Reply
23/11/2016 15:12	Agree, it looks that way. The sector is well out of favour. Needs a bid for one of the smaller ones to boost sentiment, imo. I'd guess Inchcape is immune, due its size.	ed 123	Read Full Thread Reply
23/11/2016 14:13	Steady decline. Not much support on the chart. Is this heading for 600p?	ppreston1	Read Full Thread Reply
27/10/2016 18:02	They bought back nearly 300,000 shares for cancellation today. Current buy back has almost reached the £50 Million mark.	essentialinvestor	Read Full Thread Reply
27/10/2016 11:59	Good sumation Ed. Had a very small amount of Look this morning, just a token purchase at this point as there is no final confirmation of the Parts division sale yet.	essentialinvestor	Read Full Thread Reply
27/10/2016 11:48	I guess the Hong Kong slowdown was behind the PDMR sales. Fortunately for holders, the global footprint of Inchcape usually (and here again today) overcomes some regional weakness. So, we get Group LFL up 4.8%, masking North Asia LFL down 17.7%. The overall market data for Hong Kong is available online, so should not have shocked anyone today. Assuming a continuation of the gentle growth in global GNP, Inchcape should make gradual progress for years to come, imo. The solely UK motor traders offer more upside but more downside too. You pays your money ....	ed 123	Read Full Thread Reply
27/10/2016 07:34	Looking at their cost base. Mentioned the director sales here previously. Not holding atm.	essentialinvestor	Read Full Thread Reply
04/10/2016 10:56	Ed, sorry late reply as just saw your question 09/09 re the director deals.	essentialinvestor	Read Full Thread Reply
22/9/2016 12:50	EssentialInvestor Also, share price chart looks a little precarious. Beginning another little downward leg? I can't see any recent director selling. What dates do you have? Ta. You'll know all of this but anyway .... Sector is somewhat out of favour due to possible impact of Brexit in 2 or so years from now. However, it should be less affected than the solely UK based motor traders. Also Inchcape should benefit from translation of overseas profits back into Sterling. Q3 2016 trading update due on 27 October. My feel would be to buy on any further weakness - but that's not advice, and I'm not adding atm.	ed 123	Read Full Thread Reply
