Kingfisher Share Discussion Threads

Amazed there has not been rumours of a bid surrounding this stock at current levels, always thought Home Depot would jump at the chance to acquire the leading European DIY chain, even with uncertainties in certain markets, they are not going to prevail indefinately!

Credit Suisse has put a outperform rating on kingfisher with target price 370p,who are u to believe

[84stewart] 06/11/2014 13:16

just found out reason for yesterdays fall deutche bank told clients this is not worth buying,that is why they are being bought by the bucket loads

[mike24] 06/11/2014 08:54

Homebase are closing stores due to the fact they cannot compete
on price and range of products with B&Q,
but who in turn are not taking advantage of outrageous
prices quoted by retail kitchen suppliers, ie John Lewis 700QUID
for a f/f housing unit (two side panels, plus two doors)
MFI would have done this for under 100quid

B&Q need bigger displays, plus an upmarket range
with a like for like products comparison as Wren Kitchens

imported german units costing 200quid are retailed in UK at up to 600quid each
fancy TV's ad's are not enough, a massive market out there for the taking
when pensioners start taking cash lump sums next april, this will be biggest
profitable growth area

[84stewart] 05/11/2014 18:53

I thought they might take advantage of this drop in price ,bought at 1651 looks like

[84stewart] 05/11/2014 16:42

3mln+ Buys if u take the 2.6 mln as buys could be COs share buyback again will soon know

[84stewart] 05/11/2014 16:37

Essential investor
I take it this sharesave scheme is for employees,who to be honest are not interested or savvy enough to take up the offer

[84stewart] 05/11/2014 16:31

Be interesting what happens in the after hours auction

[essentialinvestor] 05/11/2014 16:04

Stewart, take a look at the recent director dealing here imv.

Market flying..kgf dying..

[84stewart] 05/11/2014 11:15

most statements have been looking forward the share buyback they may not be finished ,the new CEO, the cash surplus the market does not know what the results will be ,they don't know how France's diy COs will perform because France is not doing well does not reflect some COs results ,Peugeot,Renault,Michelin,Carrefour, big French COs doing reasonably well

[essentialinvestor] 05/11/2014 10:37

The market is looking forward, not back.

The next update is this month and France generates
the bulk of profits.

[84stewart] 05/11/2014 10:35

This share defies logic,buying back and cancelling own shares,figures not that bad
As far as I see UK stores doing well results due end NOV ,yesterday announced they were looking for a Global Mobility Advisor that should not be negative ,unless analyst/MM been sniffing too much wine gums,anybody got a clue

[macau] 05/11/2014 08:32

Gaining momentum the wrong way!

[bigdazzler] 31/10/2014 10:43

Can see some bullish divergences on this one appearing. Have entered a long trade this morning and will be adding if trade starts to gain momentum.

[casholaa] 31/10/2014 10:39

Having fun with this today.

[84stewart] 22/10/2014 13:41

U would think home base closing 25% of their stores would have a good effect on this share price unless investors /MMs are 2 steps behind the real world

267.85 looking like poss. entry point

[constantine] 10/10/2014 17:20

Thanks 84steward that is why I will not get dividends if I will buy shares on or after ex dividend day. Its been a while since I hold shares during these periods. And again LSE changed some dividend policy a month ago.

[sicker] 10/10/2014 17:14

84stewart, setltment day is now t+2. Changed a few days ago.

[84stewart] 10/10/2014 17:06

U would not be registered until after settlement day which I believe is 3days?

[constantine] 10/10/2014 17:01

Thanks sr2day, I thought so too, then I read their results and got confused again: "The interim ordinary dividend will be paid on 14 November 2014 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 10 October 2014."

[sr2day] 10/10/2014 16:41

Constantine,they went exdiv on Thursday,meaning if you buy on thursday onwards you do not get the dividend that is going to be paid on 14 of nov 2014 which is 3.15p.

[freddie ferret] 10/10/2014 16:34

Yes you will, the question is when will they start and that is a matter of when do the shares go ex divi. Look at the announcements, I think divi entitlement is based on when you bought the shares and not on the settlement date but I could be wrong there.

Somebody else more knowledgable than me will have to help you, alternatively you could try phoning your broker if he is the type to be helpfull.
