Fair enough Zy, appreciate your view.
Europe is rapidly slowing though, let's see what they say in Dec.

DIY is a great business in France. dont forget Kingfisher disposed of its Italian business in 2009

[zyzzyva] 09/11/2011 12:36

France is a big positive IMO

[essentialinvestor] 09/11/2011 10:15

Great company Barlick, the December update is key though - big French
exposure.

Bought back in today so hi everybody.

Well run under-priced company methinks - hopes!

[zyzzyva] 08/11/2011 14:15

Home Depot are very strong, almost at 9 year highs

[thedoronron] 24/10/2011 14:56

Ditto to last post

[sicker] 24/10/2011 14:13

I've always been here, just watching and learning ;-)

Yes, this is a dead thread. back up through 300 soon lets hope - that might brong some posters back!

[zyzzyva] 24/10/2011 12:46

this is a very quiet thread for a FTSE company. are there any other followers about?

[zyzzyva] 24/10/2011 09:01

IMO one of the American's should have a crack at buying KGF while the shares are still very cheap.

[zyzzyva] 23/10/2011 22:12

Home Depot were very strong on Friday, up over 3%. Lowes & Walmart were strong too.

[zyzzyva] 14/10/2011 11:12

oriel are only good to help buyers. not smart people - to suggest a focus on volumes rather than margins (look at Sainsburys!). IMO these guys know what they are doing

[zyzzyva] 13/10/2011 14:51

still looking very good

[barlick] 11/10/2011 17:19

Frankly the number of graphs above is silly. Any chance of a haircut?

[zyzzyva] 11/10/2011 13:34

this is very strong

[zyzzyva] 09/10/2011 17:16

330p? Surely a lot more than that - in 1999 these were over £11 but making less profits than now!

[the_profit] 08/10/2011 18:30

Analysts at Espirito Santo are big fans and have a fair value price of 330p. Following the impressive half-year figures they told clients that profits growth of 24 per cent and five to ten-year growth plans are not things that many retail companies have been able to discuss in the current environment.

Chief executive Ian Cheshire has made top-line growth a key element of the next five-year growth plan. With no dominant global DIY player or brand, there is a feeling in the business that Kingfisher can deliver top-line growth even in mature countries through more innovative and affordable products.

yes those americans could be here shortly, i can hear them sniffin!

[zyzzyva] 05/10/2011 21:25

YES!!! these guys are really really smart.

[the_profit] 22/9/2011 15:12

are you buying on the dips?

[essentialinvestor] 15/9/2011 15:33

Decent numbers, but no Q2 guidance given due to the economic uncertainities
and a £60 million higher stock level which ate into cash flow along
with the higher CAPEX.
