Here's an example of what happened to me, I took up the sharesave and bought at £1.57, The shares matured on 1st Dec (At which point i wanted to sell them), now here's the fun bit.
The company responsible (Equateplus) who are handling my shares did not give me the option to sell them on the day they matured,, Instead i have only got the right to sell them from today, And here's the really sad bit, when i wanted to sell them they where at £4.19,, and as we know we have all saw todays price, I am a bit miffed to say the least as i lost an estimated £600 because of this.

Pets at Home has become the latest retailer to hand back its business rates relief worth £28.9m after enjoying bumper sales throughout the pandemic.The company said it would make the payment despite spending an estimated £35m on Covid-related costs this year. Wonder how much Amazon is handing back.

It's gone ex-div, that's all. Price always drops on ex-div day.

Referral practices, of the type that were sold to Linnaeus require a lot of managerial and business support and of a different type than the JVP or group owned practices. Referral practices in my opinion never really sat well in the business model which is essentially a group of franchises. Will be interesting to see what happens with the first opinion vet practices they own. CVS IVC Linnaeus and Vet Partners all own their practices which results in a varying level of central control but different to Vets4Pets....

Volume is decreasing though so maybe the seller (if there was one) has/will finish soon.

[hazl] 03/12/2020 13:27

I wonder if PETS recent corporate affairs has spooked a few investors.

[hazl] 03/12/2020 09:20

I still agree with them tele consultations are the way forward.

[hazl] 02/12/2020 14:50

"It is, however, very much business as usual for TVC team with regards to providing great service to their existing customers, and we all agree that this investment in their business will give them the support they need to continue to provide this existing service to their well-established and valued customer base."

Jamie Moodie, chief executive of The Vet Connection, added: "The acquisition and backing by PAH will allow TVC to accelerate several plans, including further tech advancement, service extension and overseas rollout to the benefit of our partners and the pet owners that enjoy our service.

"We are equally delighted to support PAH in the next step of its impressive journey and look forward to adding our capabilities to an already comprehensive and respected suite of services."

They are wisely following the trend.
Sustainability care for the environment.

Yes it's sometimes better to buy when things look more assured.
I've got my speculative ones too.

[yump] 01/12/2020 12:06

Well done to anyone who bought when this was supposed to be a basket case (120p ish).
Interesting how once these recoveries start, they carry on for quite a while, with all the funds piling in, then it hits the headlines and gets chattered about, so all the pi's appear. Funds don't have many decent retail stocks to buy at the moment, so what's next - because no doubt whatever it is will have a wall of money waiting to invest to balance the portfolios.

Probably a case study in here somewhere. In the end it all depends on the market the business is in. Surprised me. The shops hardly had anyone in when I visited and that was while the outlook was improving rapidly.

Quite what valuation will end up being full is difficult to know, but a p/e of 20 seems quite likely until growth slows (or everyone has bought).

Halfords looks like its on a similar path. Bargain down at 100p area. Might well still only be on a p/e of 10 ish. and it doesn't look like the funds have been buying much yet.

They'll not have a good Christmas though - the bikes all went in the summer.

Yes that's true; more work for PETS perhaps?

Not that we would wish trouble of course.

I saw your post,earlier concerning zoonotic diseases .
