That about 21% of shares. Never seen a company have that many % shares traded in one day, this might start taking off tomorrow, watching and if its starts to move will buy more.

looks like some weight taken off the share price with those 2 x 7m trades going through,
should be interesting tomorrow

IC view;

The shares trade significantly below the net asset value, so there is clear value here, but don't forget that MWB remains a highly geared recovery play on the hotel, luxury retail and property sectors. So, although the shares are fairly priced for now, given the scope for a potential covenant breach, they are worth keeping an eye on if the company strengthens its capital structure. Fairly priced.

Agreed.Revpar looks good and Chairman's outlook reasonable. Seen the worst, I think.

Have they sold Liberty's? I rather hope not.

solid performance in the half yr numbers

I think selling a loss-making shop in the current climate, where foreign tourism levels have dropped is exactly the wrong time to be doing this. A failure to raise a premium because of the location/name could also be taken to mean debt remains too high for this comapny. I'm in MBE and hold that but just MHO not tempted to buy here.

should see some interim results any time soon

[empirestate] 24/8/2009 22:32

[empirestate] 23/8/2009 20:13

[johnv] 18/8/2009 17:46

what with all the other commerical property companies taking off, was expecting this one too as well.

[paddyloyd] 18/8/2009 17:43

I sure hope so!

[johnv] 18/8/2009 15:32

one trade today, nothing on plus

the drop before the takeoff?

[johnv] 04/8/2009 18:55

Looks like Deutsche Bank have been reducing their holding this month.

LIBERTY'S is a retailing icon - quite obviously better owned by a skilled retailer. This could go at a really fancy price due to its brand potential. If you can top-up below 60p tomorrow - you'll be getting yourself a bargain.

can we have a chart in the top

[paddyloyd] 01/7/2009 06:19

Thanks Sharw - I bow to your superior knowledge and experience! It just I'm getting a bit frustrated with these having held them for circa 5 years!

[sharw] 30/6/2009 17:32

Paddyloyd - it is not as simple as that. There is a 30,000 share 'T' trade (being 4x NMS) which would have been worked through the day when the price was higher and although listed as a buy is probably a sell. (Buy and sell are labels automatically placed by a computer). You also ignore the much larger number of shares (roughly 300,000) traded on Plus, most of which appear to be sells.

[paddyloyd] 30/6/2009 16:51

Well if that's not MM manipulation I don't know what is: 30,012 sold and 30,013 bought. Price down by 4.5p on the day!

I'm not a holder of MWB but do hold MBE.

From my Etrade weekly market review email received today
Thought it would be of interest to this BB, surprised no RNS?
Richard Balfour-Lynn is the CE of MWB so assume it relates to this co.??


Small Caps Round Up

Regent Street retailer Liberty has exchanged contracts to surrender the lease on its Liberty of London shop on Knightsbridge's Sloane Street following an unsolicited offer from a European fashion brand.

�We received a fabulous offer for our Sloane Street lease completely out of the blue,� said chairman Richard Balfour-Lynn. �The incoming tenant offered us a �700,000 cash premium for the lease which we will use to further develop the increasingly successful Liberty of London global luxury label.�

As a result the Liberty shop will close and all the staff, stock and fittings will transfer to Liberty's Regent Street flagship store. In addition to the cash premium, it is estimated that by refocusing Liberty of London's retail operation into the flagship store there will be annual cost savings of approximately �500,000.

The group said both the Liberty of London label and the broader Liberty retail business has been enjoying a period of revitalisation following last February's 'Renaissance of Liberty' launch, which has resulted in double-digit sales growth over the past five months.

�We are now in a series of discussions with major international companies that will provide exciting branding collaboration and distribution opportunities through an increasing number of commercial networks. We are confident these will lead to increased profile and profitability for Liberty of London,� Balfour-Lynn added.
