What was the 10125 at 8.01 then? Scotch mist?

re- Hmm a 10,000 sell pushes us down!

It was a 5,000 buy ( the only trade today at 11.45am), KBC was the guilty party as open at 7.53am with the 12p offer, sterical but it looks they do not want to hold stock.

[pbracken] 31/7/2008 11:27

Technically speaking, results don't need to be released until end Sept.

[anteos] 31/7/2008 10:50

are the results due today? If so they're leaving it last minute, which doesn't bode well! Another after market announcement?

Hmm a 10,000 sell pushes us down!

[dan de lion] 30/7/2008 18:31

Today`s buys(72,000) would normally have shifted us up a couple of points, must be an overhang around.

[master rsi] 29/7/2008 09:07

Small buying lately, unless MMs play games ( they have done it many times before) MPH should be seen some movement up on the share price soon

I can well believe you may be right, but I just hope they have something positive to say about the current year and beyond. One things for sure, we don't have long to wait. If there are positive signs that new shoots are bearing fruit, then at this low level the shares are a bargain as evidenced by the IC article.

[dan de lion] 28/7/2008 08:17

I personally can`t see them declaring a loss of £3+ million and maintaining the Divi.

[tibibar] 26/7/2008 13:04

Yes, thanks taffee.

Bought the IC magazine this morning and it was nice to see Marchpole featured - even if we have not learnt anything new! What it does though is highlight how cheap MPH is to buy, always assuming that they maintain the dividend and there is a return to profit. If only I had a crystal ball!!!

[taffee] 26/7/2008 11:43

look out for the results guys and girls and lets give our opinions that morning...this could be a 2 or 3 daily bagger.

[cosnova] 26/7/2008 11:28

Thanks for posting taffee

If they do intend to maintain dividend thats a big positive!

[taffee] 26/7/2008 09:06

the ic article is very short and simply says marchpole intends to maintain its total dividend for the next period.First half results show a slowdown in profitability but expansion into russia and the east should contribute to earnings in the future.

[pycco] 25/7/2008 15:50

This from the interim results:-

• Interim dividend 1.1 pence (2006: 1.5 pence)

• Maintains the total dividend distribution at 3.75 pence per share for the
year to 31 March 2008

Re: The Investors Chronicle - The Cover Story

I assume Marchpole is one of the nine companies featured in the IC recommendation, but I cannot read their actual comments as you need to be an IC Advantage subscriber.

Judging from the comments in their lead in article, IC would appear to be saying that, assuming the dividend is maintained, investing in Marchpole would pay for itself within five years. Based on historical dividends and the present share price this would be well within five years.

All this appears to assume that the dividend is maintained, or re-instated in the current year if no further payment is forthcoming for the year ended 31 March 2008!!!

Has anyone seen the article?

[master rsi] 25/7/2008 09:26

IC is talking about MPH today but not did not find out yet what they say..........

I would assume given that they will be making a loss, then they will throw everything they can (loss making wise) "including the kitchen sink" into the results, this will make any recovery this year look so much better with any losses writen into the coming results!
Plus the tax situation next year will get a nice offset.

[tibibar] 24/7/2008 09:31

I believe there is an absolute requirement to publish the Prelims within four months of the year end. If so, and the actual date is 31st July, they will have left publication to the last possible moment?! Still, at least it will not be last thing on a Friday!!!

[pycco] 24/7/2008 08:41

TDW now lists Next prelim announcement date as 31th July with status 'A' which I think means 'Actual Date' rather than 'E' for 'Estimated Date'.

[tibibar] 23/7/2008 10:28

ddl - I quite agree.

I had thought they might be holding back the Prelims in order that they would be able to include guidance on trading for the first quarter, but they are now well past the 90 days in which it is recommended that results should be released. This just adds to the doubt and suspicion!!! For example have the auditors refused to sign off on the accounts etc etc.......

The results will be a loss for the year, what we need to know is how is current trading and are they on line to move back into profit this year, if so then MPH is undervalued by a long way.

Priced for bust at the moment.

[taffee] 22/7/2008 13:35

have revamped their website. From the July Newsletter

MARCHPOLE
Full year results will
probably be announced
during the next month. A
number of new licensing
agreements have been
signed. Also subsidiary JC
Castelbajac has entered into
a further agreement with
Lee Cooper to supply a
minimum of 100,000 pieces
of denim wear a year which
will be sold through its own
outlets with guaranteed
minimum annual incomes.
A new store for trading its
Jean Charles de Castelbajac
('JCC') ranges has been
opened in Conduit Street in
the West End. This is
viewed by Marchpole as a
flagship store for the range,
and a key development.
