These investment fund managers have a lot to gain and lose from manipulating the market in MKS.

Shorts in MKS are at the highest level since 01NOV12 when the current disclosure regime was introduced.( Now at 4.24%)

This is why we did see capitulation after the good results.

Please do your own research....

Love it when they get it wrong.

You know what Trump says about the media xx

The saying goes...where there is muck/rubbish there is money!...trade both ways short or long...

Well, if the Pound continues to gain strength as it has since Theresa Mays speech the other day, then any overseas company thinking of making an offer for MKS, will need to act soon, otherwise the higher the Pound goes the more they will have to pay.

if the dividend can hold then could be worth a buy at what price was thinking of around 300p and it getting to nearly a five year low

[diku] 18/1/2017 13:23

Mks just struggles to stay above 350p...one day!...

Marks & Spencer - 'It works' says one broker as it repeats its 'buy' on the retailer


“Valuation and recommendation-wise we feel that the task of turning M&S into a business that can maybe double its profits before tax has clearly not been demonstrated yet and a new management team is wise not to over-commit,” said Haitong in a note to clients.

“It works,” exclaims the headline from a research note from Haitong Research (Hai who? Me neither) on Marks & Spencer lauding the initial success of new boss Steve Rowe.

The circular, penned by veteran analyst Tony Shiret and his team, restates Haitong’s ‘buy’ case and 375p a share price target.

“Valuation and recommendation-wise we feel that the task of turning M&S into a business that can maybe double its profits before tax has clearly not been demonstrated yet and a new management team is wise not to over-commit,” said Haitong in a note to clients.

“We felt that 2017 would be a time when we took a more neutral stance in the face of more difficult clothing market conditions.”

Re-looking at their numbers in the wake of the recent trading update, Shiret and his team have downgraded profit forecasts by 1%, 3% and 2% for the next three years.

They expect pre-tax profit to fall to £602mln in the year to March 31 from £684mln, then to £592mln and £582mln.
