Were holders even aware this was going on?

[cosnova] 18/1/2008 07:18

Hopefully the start of some positive news

Well, it was stated that the final results would be "slightly below" expectations, that was when two Brokers were giving approx 20p as the eps, they also said that the second half orders were up 60%, so it is quite feasible that they could attain an eps of 15 - 17p, if they can and any trading statement they give points in that direction, then MPH is undervalued and could move up.

Rotational linguistic tendencies allied to a liking for rotational blade transportation is part of the cause...

williebiz: "So the cynical might expect 2 x H1 for the full year. EPS 2.4p would give PER of 14.5x."

Naturally, anything above that is a bonus! (or soon will be, see last report and accounts)

Interims

Financial and Operational Highlights

• Turnover £29.9m (2006: £38.6m)

• Operating profit £1.2m (2006 restated: £5.0m)

• Profit before taxation £0.5m (2006 restated: £4.0m)

• EPS of 1.2 pence per share (2006: 10.2 pence per share)

So the cynical might expect 2 x H1 for the full year. EPS 2.4p would give PER of 14.5x.

Profits missed targets and the propectivce pe to be higher. Looks like punters dont trust the management or forecasts. Then there is all that debt.

As a former MPH holder I check back every so often. Im being lazy now but could someone explain briefly the reasons for this share price collapse and a bizarrely low PE of 1.5
Thanks

DEBENHAMS plc

INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

Strong Christmas trading

Debenhams plc, the leading department stores group, today releases its interim
management statement for the year-to-date ended 5 January 2008.

For the four weeks of Christmas ended 5 January 2008, total sales were 4.4%
higher than last year. Like-for-like sales for the Christmas period increased
by 2.2%.

For the 18 weeks ended 5 January 2008, total sales were 2.0% above the
comparative period last year. Like-for-like sales for the 18 weeks were flat,
reflecting the poor general market conditions experienced across the sector
earlier in this period.

The performance of the exclusive Designers at Debenhams brands has been
particularly pleasing and contributed to the overall market share gains achieved
in the last few months.

Why do you think everything else looks good ?? Would appreciate an explanation,
-- to me the sales are not there, and the margin is reducing , due some market factors ------ but dont see any cost reductions ( especially if the Royal suite in Paris + helipad is booked !!!! + Flagship stores are not cheap..)
Honestly think we are in for a big shock for Mar 31 year results --- but hope
am wrong. Not enough positive info, or any info , coming from them.
Floundering is a word that fits................
Looks like 30p is approaching fast........ cheque books at the ready...!!!
