UBS RAISES MARKS & SPENCER PRICE TARGET TO 125 (100) PENCE - 'NEUTRAL'

[debsdowner] 09/9/2020 10:54

NEW LOOK in serious trouble, it put itself up for sale but deadline passes with no bids for the company.



Too many retailers out there NEW LOOK now relies on creditors but it doesn't look good as with more people become unemployed there will be less money in the economy.

Who encouraged Brits to go on the half price eat out deal?

Well its now backfired big time the minute it was closed infections spiked up near treble the GOV target of 1,000 cases a day.

All this back to work in the office will go on deaf ears now.

Too little too late the virus is now out of control and we are in for a "bleak mid winter" as the Christmas song goes.

High Streets will be in meltdown again and more shops closing.

The only people doing well are such as "robot global incorporated" who have extensive organic farms, "bill & ben" clay face masks, water salination to Africa, people renting, property, infection control.

If things couldn't go worse they just have our Oxford vaccine trial halted, IO wonder if Bojo will be talking about that at the commons today or in the press conference at 4 pm this afternoon?

Both ICELAND & COOP gained from virus as more people shop local, that wont change for a while to the detriment of the large Supermarkets.

That is why TESCO went on a cut price ad campaign with ALDI, and MORRSION did the same, maybe SAINSBURY will be the next?

The big supermarkets are evidently frightened that coming up to Christmas which is the most lucrative period they may lose out on Christmas shopping unless they entice customers back.

Margins are falling however and despite increase in sales profits falling due to increase in staff on lower margins !

ASDA has also started its its "hit the back pocket " add but its not a good advert imo.

London stocks were set to fall at the open on Wednesday following a tech-led selloff on Wall Street.

The FTSE 100 was called to open 20 points lower at 5,910.

CMC Markets analyst David Madden said: "The continued fear surrounding the US tech sector was the main story yesterday, and it is likely to be the focus of today’s trading session too. Relations between the US and China are deteriorating. President Trump talked about ‘decoupling217; the US economy from China as he wants his country to be less dependent on the nation. China is the workshop of the world as its cost of manufacturing is very low, so it won’t be easy to undone all the integration."

Pretax profits at the division soared 35% to nearly £102m as revenues rose by 29% to nearly £3bn, according to accounts about to be published by Companies House. - Guardian
