Marshalls Share Discussion Threads

FCA relaxed rules on quarterly updates - 6July14 T/U not on their key events so poss that's it - also may have thought easier to just let Greferendum biz blow over - I think I would
Ints in Aug - not far off now - just a few weeks

[shammytime] 03/7/2015 08:08

Wasn't there supposed to be a trading statement today?

[luckymouse] 01/7/2015 22:50

ONJohn - tks for that - your making the share price go up :)

(or possibly its because the sector is outperforming)
NMX FTSE 350, Chemicals (13), Construction & Materials (23), Financial Services (87), Basic Resources (17), General Retail (53)

Another nice day. Slow and steady rises will do me ;-)

[cockneyrebel] 24/6/2015 17:51

Nice new high

Good rebound so far. Will surpass the highs at this rate CR.

[cockneyrebel] 20/6/2015 09:31

Yep, a good Friday for MLSH Lauders :-)

CR

[lauders] 20/6/2015 01:04

A good day here last session given the general trend and mark down of some share prices during the day. A sign of strength going forward?

[luckymouse] 17/6/2015 17:18

That is a seriously impressive website - implies serious professional mgmt (Buffett)

Still going great guns.
I started buying in Aug 2013 at around 150p. But the real momentum has gathered over the last twelve months to 300p.

Looks to me that Marshalls still have long legs to them and can still storm forward.

I made some comments in 2013 how scruffy their advertising was and their PR and company advertising, company image.

Wow! You should look at their web-site now.



What a change! - They could/should still do more to raise their visibility at various builders depots where they sell their products.

Their synthetic stone ranges are great but they need to grasp better the current fashion for natural stone products as well.

I made another comment elsewhere which I equally believe is very applicable to Marshalls.


Cameron + Osborne + Boris are very good for the UK and London property market.

.......and that should certainly hold true for burgeoning Marshalls as well,


where they should continue to see strong and growing demand.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

Agreed CR. The more I read about Marshalls the more I like them :-) These lines about some of their products in the 2015 catalogue for instance:

And all that's before the new products are considered. We all get excited at the prospect of new products, but over recent years there's been precious little innovation that has genuinely driven the industry forward. There's been plenty of toe-dipping and minor tweaking but not very much that we'll look back on and reminisce about how primitive the world of paving was before we had....whatever it was. However, with what's on the menu from Marshalls in 2015, this just might be the year of a major redirection on how we pave and what we pave with.
Of course, the "Big Thing" for 2015 is porcelain paving. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but most of the other major suppliers have a ceramic/porcelain/vitrified (delete as appropriate) paving, don't they, so what makes Marshalls' confections so notable?

and........

It's a little overwhelming, to be honest. You have to admire the cojones it takes to commit so fully to what is a radically new paving product for us in Britain, but who other than Marshalls could do it? There is no-one else with the market share or dominance to effect such a strategy. You do have to feel a little sympathy for the other suppliers of porcelains: they must be cursing at Marshalls' ability to be so bold, but they should also be grateful that a force as strong as Marshalls have committed so much in time and resources to developing this new market in which they will, almost inevitably, share.

and........

So, that's two radically new, innovative and interesting products that could well change the world of paving for ever, which is plenty isn't it? Can we go home now? No! This is Marshalls, so the fun has only just begun.



Think I will hang on here for a while ;-)

Nice steady progress Lauders - trending up nicely week after week but a really decent fortnight recently.

CR

[lauders] 29/5/2015 02:11

Well that was faster than I expected and not even one comment on this board or CR's thread! Got to be bullish ;-) Let's see how long we can stay above 300p and even better if we can hold and build on the new high!

[lauders] 28/5/2015 01:22

300p should be breached sometime soon I would hope. Might be hard to do but would be nice to see it breached and the next leg above 300p begin. Quiet board too which is often a positive!

[smartmoney100] 21/5/2015 01:40

Yes north it should be, all very positive in my view. Negatives are hard to find here.

[lauders] 21/5/2015 01:24

Nice new highs and can only continue north after that trading update surely?

[cockneyrebel] 20/5/2015 13:03

1146 GMT [Dow Jones]--Panmure Gordon raises its 2015 pretax profit forecast for Marshalls to GBP32.5M from GBP31.6M.

The broker also lifts its target price to 320p from 280p and reiterates its buy rating. Shares gain 3.2% to 284.75p.

[cockneyrebel] 20/5/2015 12:43

new highs hit today

CR

[ayl30] 20/5/2015 08:58

Results look very strong with profit ahead of expectation. Piece about the market forecast is interesting as they obviously feel they can beat that.
