Premier Farnell Share Discussion Threads

Hard to say on hmv. Arrogance of the CEO maintaining the dividend when it was time to batten down the hatches. Before that, he splurged cash (not paper) on dodgy acquisitions. Flat packing and stitching up the landlords helped, but I think it was viable without that. Too little, too late. I think he's doing the same to some other company threatened by a digital death now... I'll check now.

As regards HMV, did you think it would be any different once they taken the poor old pi for a ride? Too many crooks in the market these days...short a share to death then put it in admin only to trade again on someone buying it on the cheap....

Hi Varies,

Know the feeling, nearly always a timing issue.

I usually buy bundles of £500 / £1000 and build a position over time and it usually comes good in the end - except for HMV - that still hurts - especially as they are going great guns now!

The answer to the question you are asking yourselves is.
Disintermediation.
There is no real long term future for either PFL or ECM.
I have been sorely tempted by their hefty yields but have been burnt more times than I care to remember so have left them both alone.

Hm, feet in the water and its a bit cold...

[kiwi2007] 23/7/2015 09:13

Have been watching and

was a decent trading statement.

plus GO's involvement seems positive

the only negative I came across was a reference to Amazon business (?) possibly affecting trading in the USA.? (or did I dream that as I can't find the reference).

Anyway, foot in the water time.

Over the years I have found that buying a share that yields about twice the average leads often to the disappointment of a cut dividend but I have not been able to resist adding to my PFL holding today.
Fingers crossed !

[edmundshaw] 07/7/2015 13:49

In here. Seems close to bottom of range technically? Anyway, 6.2% yield nice, balance sheet fine, some prospects in growth and efficiency savings.

Not a rocket, but decent value, brokers expecting better earnings going forward. IMO.

[tudes100] 25/6/2015 07:11

Technicals are pretty awful here, has it bottomed yet ?

[kmann] 23/6/2015 15:17

strong buying today, go investment partners adding?

[kmann] 18/6/2015 08:14

Decent update. go investment partners will underpin the share price by keep buying any dips (see tht), feels like they have plans.

Raspberry pi doing very well

Brokers are all aligning

[limit up] 17/6/2015 15:37

Good consolidation. TU Thursday 18 June 2015 . ReRate to 240p, plus re-aligned broker targets toward 300p imo

[kmann] 04/6/2015 15:40

Nice buy point before trading update imo. Solid numbers expected. 225p next level

[kmann] 18/5/2015 19:50

Chart begining to form a solid uptrend after recovering from the lows.

[kmann] 13/5/2015 14:54

£2+ breakout after next update imo. 240 major resistance for 2-3 years, but that was back in uncertain times, things have changed for the better imo.

[silver tortoise] 11/5/2015 09:49

Be nice to see upwards of £2

[kmann] 05/5/2015 10:22

Should be further breakout from here. Germany recovery seems solid.

Odd early price reaction. A profit making, restructured, divi paying company like this should trading nearer 230 imo (look at all the jam tomorrow carp out there trading on hot air!)

Can only see them increasing that divi over the years as things improve.

Electronics components distributor Premier Farnell reported a drop in adjusted profits before tax of 3% to reach £74m in 2014. That came on the back of a 0.8% fall in full-year revenues to £960.1m.
However, the company's operating margins declined by less than forecast by analysts, slipping by 40 basis points, to 9.2%. The analyst consensus was for margins of 9%.

Earnings per share (EPS) on an adjusted basis came in at 13.8%, down 3.5% from the prior year but ahead of the 13.5p which analysts had penciled in.

The full-year dividend pay-out was maintained at 10.4p per share

[kmann] 19/3/2015 08:17

Numis caled their upgrade about right, divi maintained curently @ 5% yield. Europe showing great strength too. Great outlook as the inititives and recovery in customer demand grow.
