What happened there?

Mark Newton-Jones purchase of £50k shares mentioned in this weekend's Money section of the FT. It points out that he has doubled his money from his acquisition in the rights issue, mentions the progress made and that the share price has recently dipped due to weaker international sales.

I think buyers are buying this just in advance of the trendline before it gets hit each time, imo:

Worth checking out the volume too imo - off on very low volume compared to the rise - more about mm margins that volume profit taking imo.

All imo.

A few profit taking - been in there since yesterday still. Think they'll find butyers with the CEO topping up yesterday at much higher than today's price.

All imo.

[whymps2] 28/7/2015 14:59

[cockneyrebel] 28/7/2015 10:51

Nice to see the CEO buying even when the shares have nearly doubled in a year imo

CR

CEO buys another 17K+ more shares

The market wasn't expecting the international sales drop despite number of outlets increasing. The middle East timing of sales though clearly had an impact so things were perhaps made to look worse than they were. And as someone pointed out at the time this means that the next quarter should receive a boost in international sales hopefully. The UK though is clearly doing well and the online sales growth is staggering really which bodes well for margin improvement going forwards...

Cracking bounce for MTC on Friday.

If you ask me, the fall on Thurs was all down to traders trading out - not getting the 'better than expected' that they crave. But reality is the most important part of the businesses with the biggest bang per buck had seen sales up like for like of 1.3%, total sales down 0.9%. Total sales will be down, they had closed 31 stores at the year end, they have closed 15% of the stores since last year (loss-making stores) which means those left have greater profits and better margins.

Online sales still growing at a staggering rate and forming a large part of total UK sales. More and more of these sales will be click and collect, saving carriage and returns fees and the amount of stock needed to be held. Click and collect also brings people into the stores.

Newton-Jones embraces internet/mobile selling, unlike the previous management and this is the way the business needs to go imo.

While the traders were selling on Thursday, the JP Morgans and Peel Hunts were seeing the true picture and raising their target price - I think it was their clients and those that could see the true picture bidding MTC up on Friday - started negative and just rallied throughout the day to close at the day's high.

More positive movement to come next week imo.

All imo

[bigbigdave] 24/7/2015 16:39

Lovely, just about all of yesterday's losses made up today.
Well done to those topping up, would have done so too but quite overweight already!

[cockneyrebel] 24/7/2015 16:27

Form is temporary - class is permanent! :-)

A pump and dump? What - pumped from 165p - and it's now 284p lol.
