Not really reflected in the share price though, perhaps everyone is worried sales will slow soon?

SMMT figures out for April. Good news for PDG.
New car registrations rose 8.2% in April to 176,820 units, the 26th consecutive month of growth. Volumes for the year-to-date reached 864,942, an increase of 12.5%.
SMMT revises up 2014 market forecast from 2.3 million to more than 2.4 million registrations.

"Given the significant progress, we expect that we will be comfortably ahead of expectations for 2014."

Come on, my son. Up you go.

Can anyone tell me what date the dividend is due in our accounts. Ta

With my break even at 34.5 i do hope so. I stupidly thought with new car sales going through the roof and second hand values rising that it was a pretty good investment on a shortish time horizon, how wrong i was.

[broadwood] 30/4/2014 13:20

Mystery to me why they dropped so far when new car sales were so buoyant.

I think they'll have a run now.

[scrabble1975] 30/4/2014 12:44

lol, know what you mean! I sold some in loss today, just to reduce portfolio risk!

[anony mous] 30/4/2014 12:18

Will it end up red this afternoon ???I hav thrown in bottom drawer now.Had bought load at 35p in jan.Thought they wud b over 40p by now.

[fozzie] 30/4/2014 09:39

SP now up 6% and decidedly underwhelming :o(

[mortimer7] 30/4/2014 09:05

Excellent positive RNS. share price up 10% currently.

[jaf111] 30/4/2014 08:15

Nice early rise on bac of excellent IMS.....but much ground to recover....hard to understand the slump from 40p to sub 30p although most of the sector also well down so hopefully people have topped up!

[broadwood] 30/4/2014 08:10

If it keeps on rising I might change my car.

[felix99] 30/4/2014 07:54

agreed - lets see . Who knows in this mkt

[jeffian] 30/4/2014 07:50

Well if that doesn't give it a lift, I don't know what will!

[scrabble1975] 30/4/2014 07:16

Good stuff, might this be the catalyst to get us heading up, and me back into the blue again???

[joe say] 30/4/2014 07:11

We therefore expect our 2014 underlying profit to be comfortably ahead of expectations for 2014

[broadwood] 30/4/2014 07:09

Blow out figures!

[dimpkins] 29/4/2014 16:08

AGM and trading update tomorrow

[scrabble1975] 22/4/2014 14:56

Never seen so much positive press from the car industry. Amazed to see this weakness continue imho.

[par555] 17/4/2014 09:50

NIGEL,

Unlikely IMHO as they are either the biggest car dealership group or at least in the top 3 or 4 ( Lookers , Arnold Clark , Vertu ). They would need to get all the manufacturers they represent to agree and I would think that unlikely given that with the industry polarisation over the last 5 years manufacturers already feel 'the tail is wagging the dog' a bit too much.

[nigelmoat] 15/4/2014 10:29

Could there be a hope that this could come on the radar of becoming a takeover target?

[pottsypotts] 15/4/2014 09:10

Wonder if the new pension reforms that come in to place April 2015 will have a positive effect when retirees decide to blow some of their pension pot on a new motor?
Looking to get in to these but as other posters cannot see the logic in the dropping share price?
