Looks like the 11% Kaupthing stake now placed elsewhere. Should help us move higher now. Consensus eps forecast of 90.71 and 93.91 for 2010 and 2011.

Wednesday, 17 February 2010
Leading British sports fashion retailer JD Sports has announced a partnership with Europe's largest indoor venue, the SMG Europe managed M.E.N. Arena for 2010.
First opened in 1995 the arena, which is located within 60 minutes drive of 11.4 million people, played host to Mike Tyson's UK debut fight, seen by over 100 million worldwide, and has hosted superstar acts such as U2 and Madonna stage concerts.

As well as having strong connections with sports fashion brands like Adidas Originals and Fred Perry, JD Sports has strong musical connections which include previous link-ups with Ian Brown and Doves as well as a current partnership with popular live music club Moho Live, and the M.E.N. Arena continuing to host the biggest names in music, comedy and sport since 1995, the exclusive footwear and clothing retailer is delighted to team up with the premier venue for the duration of 2010 onwards.

750 to 800 seems quite reasonable especially with signicantly ahead results due 14 April.

Charles Stanley is cautious on the retail sector but thinks picking the right stocks can still pay off for the canny investor.

It has raised its price target on sportswear group JD Sports, on which it has a 'buy' stance, to 750p from 650p. Charles Stanley is enthused by JD Sports' fashion store chain Bank, which it thinks 'has a strong store rollout potential.'

Matt - the way I see it is that when JD made the above statement - consensus of £56m at the time + 10% (i.e.significant) was probably already in the bag. The statement then prompted analysts to upgrade to c£63m (£56m + 10% plus a bit).

So I doubt whether the result will be below current consensus of £63m but if this is exceeded by 10% - JD will need to advise the market. I think the result will probably sit between these two parameters i.e.£63m and £69m IMHO.

JD also has a reasonable chance of keeping the story going - i.e.increases in like for like sales and gross margins maintained - Easter is earlier this year - Good Friday is 2nd April (last year 10th April) and JD are to announce on 14th April (last year 8th April)- so Easter trade will probably be included in their current trading statement.

Would be useful though if they did give an update next week followed by positive LFL sales news on 14th April. Still looks significantly undervalued to me, with no debt and good expansion/growth prospects. All IMHO DYOR.

I'm expecting an end of year statement next week in which they will give an idea by just how much they have significantly beaten forecasts.

"The Board now believes that current market expectations for Group profit before tax and exceptional items will be significantly exceeded though the extent to which this occurs is still dependent on the impact of the prevailing severe weather conditions in the UK."

JD normally issue fairly conservative trading statements so the lanaguage used in the Xmas trading update leads me to believe that results will be better than the upgraded consensus forecast of c£63m - otherwise there would have been no point in driving analysts up to this number - i.e. more conservative language could have been used e.g. "moderately" instead of "significantly ahead of market expectations" IMHO.

Share price threatening to break out of its current trading range and company still significantly undervalued and overdue a re-rating. No debt and good growth and profit improvement potential both here and abroad IMHO DYOR.

""It's a strong set of numbers – even though they did well last year they seem to have had a rebound," said Nick Coulter, retail analyst at Numis, who raised his full-year pre-tax profit forecast from £56m to £63.1m.

"The growing question is what they will do with that abundance of firepower on the balance sheet," he added. "At six times covered by ongoing earnings, the dividend surely must step change at some point."

Peter Cowgill, executive chairman, said he was aware of analyst opinion on the dividend. "Let's just say, I hear them," he told the Financial Times. "It's a matter we are considering."

Mr Cowgill said he was "looking at one or two additional opportunities abroad" and planned to invest in distribution and warehouse consolidation."

Also states that on a P/E of 7, JD. is on an undeserved discount to the retailing sector P/E average of 13

The Investec forecast of 63m equates to around 90p in earnings, so even after today's rise the company is still only valued at less than 7 times prospective profits and with more to come the year after, you would think it should rise further from here.

More comment here



While most eyes in the retail sector are on Sainsbury, JD Sports Fashion has also put in an impressive performance.

The company's shares have jumped 60p to 610p after it said it would beat market expectations for its full year profits following a good Christmas. Like for like sales for the five week festive trading period rose 6.6%, prompting the company to comment that 2009 profits would "significantly exceed" forecasts. But it added that the extent of the rise would depend on the current weather conditions. In a buy note Investec said:

On the back of a significant improvement in trading relative to expectations in both divisions [sport and fashion], we are raising our pretax profit forecast by 12.5% for 2010, from £56m to £63m. Given the strong cash generation and extremely prudent levels of dividend cover we are also forecasting a higher increase in the final dividend, to give a total of 15p (previously 13p). This supports an increase to our price target from 710p to 750p and we remain buyers.

Meanwhile Singer Capital Markets' Mark Photiades said:

This strong performance, across both fascias, is an excellent achievement. In particular, the growth seen in fashion is very encouraging, as we believe that going forward the fashion division will be one of the main growth drivers for the group, primarily via the acquired Bank chain. There is considerable scope for profits to improve if they continue to enhance the product and brand mix, and then scale the business up. The strong trading at the core sports division is also encouraging, and demonstrates its resilience contrary to some observers' expectations

From next year, we expect its international development plans to pick up pace, primarily via its French acquisition. The Canterbury rugby brand also looks well positioned for growth and the recent acquisition of stakes in the Australian and New Zealand distribution companies should create further leverage.

Even prior to today's upgrades the shares were on a significant discount to the wider sector. The shares are therefore likely to bounce further on the back of today's news and we re-iterate our buy stance.
