why does the market treat these guys so harshly when their updates are consistently so good

[essentialinvestor] 21/7/2011 06:16

Very solid statement in the context of the current retail enviornment,
not sure how the market will react - not holding KGF currently.

"We expect UK LFL [like-for-like] sales at B&Q to be down strongly in the second quarter, given seasonal sales pull forward, poor weather, a clearance event at Focus following administration and a tough underlying environment. However, with 30 Focus stores set to be converted to B&Qs by the fourth quarter and many others exiting the market, fiscal 2012/13 may see a strong uplift for the group and more than offset short-term weakness," according to Nomura Securities.

IanCheshire you are a genius !

Not looking forward to this week, B&Q figs very poor indeed.

Sales down LFL 4.5% on Q
Down on budget 5.2% on Q

Shrinkage up 3%.

I blame a scouser for this problem.

Don't buy any this week folks.

Please don't encourage share buy backs, think of the poor pi.

B&Q have a 15% 4 day sale starting tomorrow, 1st-4th of April.

May check out a couple of stores over the weekend,
as looking at KGF closely - and badly need some loft insulation
looking at my latest heating bills.

A new upgrade daily - reading the results it's the huge free cashflow that just grabs your attention.

There appears to be major magin improvements to come, may explain the
current broker views and rising forecasts.

[nellie1973] 30/3/2011 15:23

Another broker upgrade

Given the strong performance in 2010/11 and confidence in the future prospects provided by self-help initiatives, the Board believes it is now appropriate to start lowering dividend cover from 3.0 times to 2.7 times adjusted earnings over the medium-term. At this level the Board believes the dividend will continue to be prudently covered by earnings and free cash flow and remain consistent with the capital needs of the business. Accordingly, the Board has proposed a final dividend of 5.145p, an increase of 43.9%. This gives a full year dividend of 7.07p, an increase of 28.5% (2009/10: 5.5p).

As previously announced, the Group's interim dividend is calculated automatically as 35% of the prior year's total dividend. Based on this, the interim dividend to be paid in November 2011 would be 2.47p per share (2010: 1.925p per share). The final dividend will continue to be proposed each year as part of the full year preliminary announcement in March.

Looking very good going forward.
