Hedge funds increase their shorts to 8% in ASOS Frasers stake is 5%, it would appear the Hedge Funds dissagree ASOS is undervalued.

Darrin,

Moneyfacts latest fixed mortgage rates still over 6% and it is these rates which will affect the public more as over 100,000 have to remortgage every month.

10 year gilts currently below 3.5% to a level last seen pre mini budget having peaked just above 4.6%

Anyone with half a brain could see Mike Ashley would make a move on made Barry. Try and be ahead of the game for once.

Every food retailer is surrounded by a free car park.
Pedestrian high streets are not a suitable location for a food retail which MKS is increasingly becoming.
I would like to see MKS trial smaller high street outlets selling predominantly clothing. A rapid turnover of new lines backed up by the MKS app and the full range online. Click and collect and somewhere to sell customer returns.
Next to the click and collect at the rear of the store you could have rail displaying the lines not available instore. One of each. Scan the label via the app or with the help of a member of staff to show size availability and order for next day home delivery or click and collect.

FRASERS expansion online article by Retail Gazette also highlights Made.com will probably be end up in FRASERS hands...

ttps://www.retailgazette.co.uk/blog/2022/10/frasers-group-online/

FRASERS stake in ASOS however very small and I cannot see any intention of a bid at this stage FRASERS can hold for years just watching.

LOL

Oh Barry and you think folks aren’t aware we’re having a mild Autumn. You really think you are better than everyone else but it’s clear to everyone but you that your not. Get over yourself and get a life old boy.

[debsdowner] 27/10/2022 08:36

Barnes, winter clothes will be slow to move at the moment we are having very mild weather and no doubt MARKS will make comments as such when they report. Hopefully simply food will still be growing.

As to stock market it has had a few good days and so has £ but I think it may be ready to retract soon.

They are closing stores, but opening Simply Foods.They want to encourage the public to either visit the large stores with more choice or buy online.

[diku] 26/10/2022 21:54

Think the warmish weather not helping for clothing retailers...

[barnes4] 26/10/2022 18:23

It matters not what the shares are worth right now

When are they reinstating the dividend?

[babycheeky] 26/10/2022 18:14

Some more advice for you mate M&S is now rising.

[babycheeky] 26/10/2022 18:11

Barry why would M&S or John Lewis concern you ?

We all know they are well above your pocket, you just stick with Lidl and Aldi and you will be fine. Water always finds its level Barry did you know that ?

[debsdowner] 26/10/2022 18:05

CC

Well MARKS wouldnt be closing so many stores (non food) if they were doing well but I think they said they wouldn't be closing large town/city stores and you could be right about regional issues.

Even John Lewis struggling however and they are bellweather stores.

Not long to wait however for results.

[essentialinvestor] 26/10/2022 16:19

Darrin, unfortunately I have eaten the best part of 4 over the last 2 weeks!.

My excuse is they are prominently displayed at the Brooklands store as you
walk in!.

[creditcrunchies] 26/10/2022 16:05

That's the bit I don't understand it's all doom in the media doom from the analysts the share price is on its knees all I can think is it's got regional issues. Maybe it's just the high street stores that are struggling

[creditcrunchies] 26/10/2022 16:00

It's one of their 24 in the UK megastores always busy they do every range of furniture, food, clothes, perfumes, the list goes on. Massive car park which at weekends is rammed

[creditcrunchies] 26/10/2022 15:53

It's one of those huge out of town shops it does everything it's even got a restaurant

[debsdowner] 26/10/2022 14:55

CC,

I am assuming you mean the simply food side of MARKS?

I say that because the simply food do seem to be doing well but I don't know about the bigger stores which have clothes and furniture.

[debsdowner] 26/10/2022 14:51

darrin,

Made on the brink



Unbelievable IPO.

BoohHoo rebounded 12% today most retailers are having a good few days which is strange as Rishi is going to raise taxes but the markets like his stance so far and £ gaining strength.

We will have to wait near 3 weeks for fiscal statement however and that could make a lot of differnece and MARKS will be reporting before then.

Seems investors are taking a stake despite shorts in MARKS at the moment.

[diku] 26/10/2022 14:29

Just had a look...from 200p to 0.4p???...can't imagine punters must have lost money here...

Seems Made.com is close to collapse another IPO failure this one Hoberman who made a fortune in Last Minute.com involved in the company. Didn't Frasers have some interest or made an offer?
