Mixed bag again, continued dividend as last payment.

Presence set up in China and India is good, second half
better as expected.

City expecting no improvement and that is what has been delivered.

A positive statement with evidence of further growth in revenue and profit will Li might move this higher. With an 'ok' or bad set of results (challenging Q4, reduced or no growth, etc.) will likely send this down again. I was encouraged to see limited reaction to the news that Homebase cutting its deal with Laura Ashley, hopefully this implies investors are patient and viewing this as a growth/recovery stock.

Probably March.

Last few statements read fairly positive, with small margin improvements, revenue and profit Increases, and a steady rate of growth. this might be a nice surprise to the upside with another positive update...Does anyone know when the next statement/update is? I couldn't find anything on their IR website...

Alibaba blew through analysts’ earnings estimates, lifting revenues 54% to Rmb53.25 billion ($7.7bn) in its quarter to the end of December and prompting the Chinese ecommerce group to lift its full-year growth guidance to 53%.

A little more

=====================================

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (BABA) on Tuesday raised revenue projections for the year and said it would step up investments to expand its digital media and cloud businesses following strong third-quarter results. Alibaba runs China's most popular e-commerce websites Taobao and Tmall. ADRs rose 3% to $101.43.

Can't wait for an update. Curious to know how LA sales trough Alibaba's Tmall.com are progressing. And how they're doing in Nanjing (store in House of Fraser, opened in december 2016).

Hopefully we can beat MKS's numbers, if not this company needs
some new guidance and fast, we shall see.

MM induced herd mentality ?

[s34icknote] 03/1/2017 13:37

Big turnaround today ?

[srpactive] 23/12/2016 12:44

Two consecutive closes above the 50dma, is most
promising, fingers crossed for good Christmas retail
sales.

The above article states designs flying of the selves in Japan
etc, in our latest report it states sluggish Japanese market.

Now if it has turned around for LA since the profits should
be very good, if not the person responsible for Japan wants
replacing.

The boss wants to focus on the business not his divorce, grow
up and sort yourself out and fast, aly should be closer to
50p a share.

Royal approval: Prince George in a piece of Cath Kidston knitwear

Royal approval: Prince George in a piece of Cath Kidston knitwear

The quintessential British designs of lifestyle brand Cath Kidston are flying off the shelves in Japan and Thailand.

Overseas sales at the label, which launched as a single shop in Holland Park in 1993, jumped 44.3 per cent in the six monthsto September 24.

The firm has shot back into the limelight after Prince George was snapped wearing its soldier-print knitwear in 2014.

The roaring trade is the best start to a financial year Cath Kidstonhas experienced yet, and comes on the back of rapid expansion across Japan – where sales soared 30 per cent.

Group sales climbed 12.2 per cent to £59.9million in the period, while profits increased by 12.9 per cent at £39.3million

Nice to see this perking up a bit as the year draws to a close.

[mister md] 23/12/2016 08:27

Good to finally see some recovery here on fairly low volumes -

[srpactive] 23/12/2016 08:14

Cath Kidston doing very well in Asia, they are liking
the British designs, bodes well for LA.

I have to disagree, they are just about to cross the 50dma
to the upside which will send them alot higher to challenge
the 200dma placed at just above 22p. A total 1p dividend is still
5%, so lets not be greedy.

[shepc] 22/12/2016 10:45

For me the changing moment will be when they announce the next dividend. If it's 1p with another 1p to come, meaning a 10% dividend for the year then these must go up; if it's kept at 1/2p then they'll continue to shrink on the usual fears.
