Marks And Spencer Share Discussion Threads

[debsdowner] 18/6/2021 12:12

Share priced raced ahead on day of results which I said was a surprise and now retracted all of its rise.

The market now had plently of time to digest the results and not impressed with the results.

Could be a few years before therer are decent earnings.

BANK OF AMERICA RAISES MARKS & SPENCER PRICE TARGET TO 150 (120) PENCE - 'UNDERPERFORM'

[debsdowner] 18/6/2021 11:14

Share price starting to break out on the downtrend now if it breaks £1.50 the chart is very bearish.

What wont help is retail sales taken a downturn and missed forecasts, people now socialising in bars and eateries more and less shopping.

Garden furniture doing well but clothes sales are out of favour, this will impact on MARKS clothes where they may take a further hit.

The Global Warming woke fake Conservative party has adopted authoritarian and socialistic policies which will be its ruin, and deservedly so. The clown Johnson and the other fake conservatives in its senior ranks need to go, and quickly...


Lib Dems overturn a 16,000 Tory majority to win Chesham and Amersham by-election by 8,000 votes and give Conservatives a bloody nose in safe seat

mitchy:
you said:
And yet they are underperformed the retail sector again today at the time of writing.

Indeed its a mystery to me. However I have noticed sometimes it takes the market MONTHS to cotton on but when they do they are on to it like a shot.

So if you are convinced, like me, hold on to those M&S shares I believe they will come good, very good!
But alas I do not know the day week or month but I do believe it will be sometime this year.

I think M&s is insanely cheap. There must be a big seller
holding the price back.

M&S Market Cap is just 1/3rd its turnover.
Frasers MC is 2/3rd its turnover.
Primark (ABF) MC is bigger than its turnover
Next is valued at THREE TIMES its turnover.

I'm not sure that M&S quite gets it on very many fronts. This latest advert. shows how they gleefully put forward a range of foods full of high amounts of sugar and saturated fat at a time when people are increasingly aware it makes people fat and clogs up their arteries with plaque and brings about illness and earlier death.


All about blocked arteries

The online fashion retailers still taking market share and BooHoo taking on Debenhams website will further add to their sales



I think MARKS would take some Debenhams sales but now not so sure.

mitchy: I base my views on walking round m&s stores.
I liked what I saw so bought more.

M&S was miles busier than John Lewis or even frasers.
No one is ever in Next and look at its market cap.

I think M&s is insanely cheap. There must be a big seller
holding the price back.

M&S Market Cap is just 1/3rd its turnover.
Frasers MC is 2/3rd its turnover.

Hope you're right. I'm a holder for the long term. Just hope it isn't too long.

mitchy:
I disagree.
I think M&S doing great compared to other retailers (sales and footfall)
I've been steadily increasing my holdings in this company.
2021 is going to be M&S's year.

[mitchy] 15/6/2021 08:54

MKS consistently losing now to the other retailers since the results. Can only see it breaking out of the uptrend to the downside.With no dividend till 2023 retailer customers/shareholders will bank the profits they have and abandon it till the next results which might be surprisingly good. But until then it's all downhill. Sub 100p again ?

Really?? Well the U.K. is doing so well isnt it?? Sterling down 11 years in a row against the USD and worse against the euro, the ftse is where it was dec 1999, it now has the indian virus becos it didnt close the border becos wheezing bunter didnt want to upset modi and an indian trade deal becos the U.K. is in desperate need of any trade deals now. UK productivity is medieval and the only way U.K. can stay competitive is to keep devaluing sterling. Meanwhile you are invested in sxxt like mks, declining business model, no dividend and likely going same way as rest of U.K. plc, so enjoy your brexit you self harming moron. The U.K. economy has lost 9 pc of its size, more than any other large economy, it has little wealth creating manufacturing ( think germany ) and is reliant on services, hairdressers and nail bars, the only thing keeping it going is a credit junkie population. I guarantee you within 18 months the U.K. will be knocking on the door of the IMF for assistance, watch this space, in the meantime dump U.K. investments and buy quality S&P trackers.

FebruaryDowning Street has refused to rule out the prospect of the UK taking unilateral action to ensure British sausages can continue to go to Northern Ireland.The Prime Minister's official spokesman said "we keep all options on the table". The comment comes as Boris Johnson welcomes EU leaders including Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel and Ursula von der Leyen for the G7, however No 10 said "this is not the forum" for a breakthroughAhead of travelling to Cornwall, the French President said the UK's request for the Northern Ireland protocol to be revised was "not serious", adding "Nothing is negotiable."But Dominic Raab hit out at this "dogmatic, purist approach", telling Sky News: "We want it to work for all sides, but the change must come from the Commission's side, and the way they are approaching this. We are not negotiating or haggling the integrity of the United Kingdom... that is not on the table."  This afternoon a former White House official claimed the EU was making a "mountain out of molehill" and expected Joe Biden to "push on the Europeans" as much as the British during the summit. Mick Mulvaney told Sky News: "I understand the principles the Europeans are wedded to but the practicalities strike us as something that should be able to be worked out... "We maybe understand a little bit better why you chose to leave if you are having a fight over sausages when something as important as the hard border on the island of Ireland is at risk."....
