A stronger multichannel offer and a shift in the floorspace towards homewares and food would play to M&S’s strengths, Jefferies said. “The plan could result in flat profits over the next two years when competitors will likely see significant falls given the macro-environment, and then see profits improve in 2020 and 2021,” it forecast.

M&S closed 1.8 per cent higher to 334.8p. Jefferies added the stock to its “buy” list with a 370p target price.

Marks & Spencer heads positive brand impression ranking among women in Britain

[essentialinvestor] 03/3/2017 11:16

Significantly too much non food space imv, as least they own some freeholds
which should help facilitate exits.

I rate the new CEO, simplfying the operating structure with a focus on
food only smaller outlets looks astute.

However with the acceleration to online would expect further
large measures needed to close non food space.

Not sure if that is priced in at these levels, all just IMV only.

That is what some of those short may be anticipating, may also be hedging long
positions elsewhere.

Shorters don't like it at all they are throwing a lot of money at this one.

Essential investor due price is on the rise no point shorting when we are in a price rise due shorters lose big time as as are gambling on the share price only.

105,000,000 shares they need to buy back is going to be a amazing rise and will cause capitulation just like VW IN 28OCT08

By Sarah Marsh | FRANKFURT

Volkswagen (VOWG.DE) briefly became the world's biggest company by market value on Tuesday, as short sellers caught betting on a price drop with borrowed stock scrambled to find shares after a buying spree by Porsche (PSHG_p.DE).

Short sellers desperate to close their positions paid as much as 1,005 euros a share during the session following Sunday's news that there was less than 6 percent of VW voting stock still floating in the market.

At that price Volkswagen's voting stock was worth 296 billion euros ($370 billion), or more than the $343 billion market capitalization of Exxon Mobil (XOM.N).

VW shares later closed trading on Tuesday up 82 percent at 945 euros.

Short sellers make money by betting that the stock they sell will drop in price. If the stock drops, the short seller buys it back at a lower price and returns it to the lender.

Risks and disadvantages

CFDs carry a high level of risk to your capital and you should only deal with money you can afford to lose.
The value of investments can fall as well as rise and you may lose significantly more than your initial margin payment.
Trading in these products is not suitable for all types of investors. We recommend that you consult an independent financial advisor if you are uncertain whether they are right for you.

On your Marks

High street giant Marks & Spencer Group(LSE: MKS) has also had a dismal year, its share price down 21% in that time. It still trades lower than it does five years ago. This is a tale of two very different divisions: its food halls are enjoying the best of times, its clothing sales are suffering the worst of times. The first has caught the foodie zeitgeist, the second is a fashionista fail.

Chief executive Steve Rowe is wisely backing its winning food formula and stepping away from its losing clothing division. He plans to roll out more than 200 new Simply Food stores, while cutting back on around 60 Clothing & Home outlets, although some will get a revamp.

All this will cost money, around £500m, so wave goodbye to any special dividends. Consumers may be feeling the squeeze but trading at 9.5 times earnings and yielding 5.7%, such headwinds now look priced-in.

Very short sighted shorters.
Amazing 96,508,834 need to be purchased back 5.94% capitulation we love you.
