Well there is a buy rec out today

[omerta] 29/9/2009 19:46

It could hardly get less....!! During the past few months there has been many a day with nowt going through.
So, good to see, Knowing, and your 426 adds to to the better feel surrounding the stock. IMO, TBF is correct in pointing out that this share has simply been overlooked.
Nice & easy will do me .... double digit by New Year's day. I hear (not confirmed) that an Institutional order got 'pulled' by the 'shop' just after the figs but they appear to be taking a tad below 8p for size late on today.

We shall see....

[knowing] 29/9/2009 16:22

I am a bit under the weather today, but that statement has made me feel a whole lot better

[ucnut] 28/9/2009 13:13

Well that is extremly good news that they can increase profits in times of a recession. Strong management will see JQV grow and I for one look forward to the resuts now.

[omerta] 28/9/2009 11:29

DesWalker.....No problem AGM report to come.

[deswalker] 28/9/2009 10:31

Yes - very happy with that statement. Fingers crossed we might get an AGM report either here or on TMF in the next few days.

[knowing] 28/9/2009 10:28

So with a potential pick up in the economy with this statement

As a result, the Board expects that the Group's profit before tax for the
full year to April 2010 will exceed the current market expectation."

It looks pretty rosey for JQV

Jacques Vert Plc


AGM Statement




Steve Bodger, Chairman of Jacques Vert plc, the womenswear clothing retailer,
will make the following statement at the Group's Annual General Meeting to be
held later today:


"On a like for like basis, sales in the first 22 weeks of the current financial
year were 0.8% lower than last year. However, I am pleased to report that, due
to careful management of markdown and stronger full price sell through, gross
margin achieved was around 2.5% higher compared with the equivalent period last
year. As a result, the Board expects that the Group's profit before tax for the
full year to April 2010 will exceed the current market expectation."


"We have also been encouraged by initial customer reaction to the new Autumn
2009 season collections. While it is still very early in the season, this
positive response provides some confidence in the continuing development of our
product. Nonetheless, we continue to be mindful of the highly uncertain economic
outlook and will continue to manage costs and cash closely".


- ENDS -


Note to Editors:


The Group retails four womenswear brands: Jacques Vert, Windsmoor, Planet and
Precis. Sales are made predominantly in the UK, Canada and Eire through circa

David positive sector news

LONDON -(Dow Jones)- U.K. clothing and houseware retailer Next PLC (NXT.LN) Wednesday raised its full-year profit guidance for the second time in two months, underpinned by its tight grip on costs and inventory, as it beat market expectations with a 6.9% rise in first-half pretax profit.

Next said it expects to deliver annual pretax profit "close" to last year's GBP429 million, subject to its sales performance in the key fourth quarter, which includes Christmas. The market consensus is just above GBP400 million.

Analysts increased their earnings estimates in July after the group raised its full-year profit guidance on better-than-expected product negotiations with suppliers and a sales boost from warm weather in May and June.

Next, which competes against Marks & Spencer Group PLC (MKS.LN), Debenhams PLC (DEB.LN) and John Lewis, said the consumer recession has been less extreme than many had predicted, adding in its statement that "it's been a recession, not Armageddon."

Davi....little but sentiment from the US is oftern a precursor to the UK market and it has often been seen that a rise in a specific sector can flow over to other markets.

[ucnut] 15/9/2009 14:05

Nice jump in the US retail sales figures just released.

[the big fella] 15/9/2009 11:02

Yes 37.5k available at 7.42 with 100k sell possible at 6.61. Looks as if the overhang is finally clearing as for months there has always been 100k available on the buy side at well within the spread.
