[sicker] 21/9/2007 15:03

Well I've just upped my holding by 20% yesterday. A good buying opportunity.

[ariane] 21/9/2007 14:34

madam a,

good question, difficult to answer.

think of the share price as a pendulum,it swings to extremes.

it is not only affected by internal events affecting kgf but
micro,macro and geopolitical events.

the recession in the diy was thought to be at an end last year so
the analysts factored in improved future events.

those improvements are long in coming or so it seems.

with a share price down at near 170p/180p,this might be a good buying opportunity
as some analysts seem to believe KGF has a fair value of approx 250p.

Once we get rid of the Bank Crisis and Extreme weather conditions perhaps
we can settle down to improvements in the share price

[madam a] 21/9/2007 13:57

If the profit stays almost the same as lasy year's, then why the share price is so much lower than last year's. Can anyone explain please.

theres more sales and profits outside Uk these days

[bald sparrow] 20/9/2007 07:38

You have to laugh. The reason Kingfisher was going down, down, down was because of fears they wouldn't even meet forecasts. Now they beat forecasts and they're actually struggling to stay in the blue.

Kingfisher H1 underlying profit tops hopes; cautious UK outlook


LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Kingfisher PLC, Europe's largest home
improvement retailer, has reported a better-than-expected 6.2 pct increase in
first half underlying profit but joined the ranks of UK retailers predicting
difficult trading ahead.
Chief executive Gerry Murphy said the UK market remains "relatively weak".
"We expect the second half to be tough as recent interest rate rises and
current uncertainty in financial markets affect customer behaviour," he said.
Murphy noted the outlook for Kingfisher's international markets, which now
account for more than half of the group's sales, remains "generally positive".
For the 26 weeks to August 4 2007, Kingfisher, which trades from about 760
stores in 10 countries in Europe and Asia, made a profit before tax and
exceptional items of 189.6 mln stg.
This compares with analysts' consensus forecast of 183 mln stg and 178.5 mln
stg last time and was achieved on the back of a 9.8 pct increase in retail sales
to 4.78 bln stg, with like-for-like sales up 4.3 pct.
Kingfisher ended the period with net debt of 1.289 bln stg versus 1.293 bln
stg as at Feb 3.
The interim dividend was maintained at 3.85 pence.

Kingfisher "overweight," target price reduced

Wednesday, September 19, 2007 6:23:24 AM ET
J.P. Morgan Securities

LONDON, September 19 (newratings.com) - Analysts at JP Morgan maintain their "overweight" rating on Kingfisher Plc (KFI1.ETR). The target price has been reduced from 265p to 256p.

In a research note published this morning, the analysts mention that B&Q's self-help initiatives, which are expected to peak over the forthcoming 18 months, are expected to offset the impact of any UK consumer slowdown. The analysts believe that Kingfisher should speed up its turnaround at a corporate level by cutting down non-core assets and capital reduction.

Kingfisher "hold"

Wednesday, August 15, 2007 1:13:10 PM ET
Panmure Gordon & Co

LONDON, August 15 (newratings.com) - Analysts at Panmure Gordon & Co maintain their "hold" rating on Kingfisher Plc (KFI1.ETR). The target price is set to 230p.

In a research note published this morning, the analysts mention that the company's Polish business is a high-quality business, with an attractive opportunity in the medium term. There is scope for Kingfisher to roll out several Castorama stores in Poland, and the Brico-Depot concept allows the company to target smaller catchments, the analysts say. The company's share price in the near term is likely to depend on the B&Q turnaround in the UK, Panmure Gordon & Co adds.
