Royal Mail Share Discussion Threads

When I get deliveries fron Next as I do very frequently its always a fat bird in her own car. She does not work for Royal mail. She is too fat for them.

Really mjones727? I thought Next use Hermes....

[mjones727] 03/1/2019 14:27

Next don't use RM for delivery. They use private individual couriers in cars usually.

Next, regarded as a bellwether for the high street, reported 15.2% growth in online sales. I assume that's the only reason RM has bounced.

Keep in mind most stocks in decline never go down in a straight line.

Rico Black bought at over 300p

I think it is oversold. share price lower than NTAV per share.

[gaffer73] 03/1/2019 10:34

Early reports coming through for Christmas volumes??

[floatupstream] 03/1/2019 09:26

Short squeeze and or just oversold? Not much strength anywhere else in the main market. Anyway averaging down seems like it wasn't a bad shout so far GL all.

I think the market expects letter vols to drop significantly. However, this needs to be covered by parcel vol.

I can tell you now from my mail centre that letters have fallen off a cliff. A Manager who has been at the centre for years said it was the worst ever.

When will the next profit warning land ?

[gaffer73] 02/1/2019 18:02

I agree, revenue will be up on last year.

[encarter] 02/1/2019 17:00

Plenty of cards posted at Christmas. Parcel volumes will be up. Good news coming mid January.

[toon1966] 02/1/2019 16:46

We all know about the decline in letter volumes, so nothing new there, though I question your 'fallen off a cliff' comment. RM said in October they expected a 7% fall in letter volumes this year. Saying all that RM was looking to hire 23000 seasonal workers - hxxps://www.royalmailgroup.com/en/press-centre/press-releases/royal-mail/royal-mail-opens-six-temporary-parcel-sort-centres-to-help-handle-christmas-volumes/

"So why did RM open six temporary Parcel Sort Centres to help handle Christmas volumes?"


The answer is in your question. Parcels. I was talking about MAIL which is letters.
Letter volumes have fallen off a cliff.

Many years ago I knew someone who knew someone who bought 300 forged £50 notes. He paid £900 and thus cleared 14 grand in a weekend.

My point is, he paid £3 per note - with a face value of £50. What would be the cost of a forged stamp, for pete's sake? I can't see forged or uncancelled stamps as any real attack on RMG's revenues.

[mjones727] 02/1/2019 14:22

Judging by the volumes of mail in my local mail centre I would think another profit warning is due.

One of my Managers said to me he had never seen it so quiet at Xmas.

[spob] 02/1/2019 14:05

Do you guys believe the dividend is sustainable ?

I think it may be halved in May

[andyj] 02/1/2019 13:47

Me also. They are a funny share. Incredibly volatile given the nature of their business. I was holding them last year when they dropped below 4 quid and everyone was giving them the kiss of death. Then it shot up 50%. There's not much risk buying here and patience will be required but we will make 50% again.

[minerve] 02/1/2019 10:40

I've bought into RMG. Just a small percentage. Price per share is lower than NTAV per share. Just sit on it and see what happens. I don't see any catalyst for improvement ATM and I'm not looking for one. If there was one it wouldn't be so cheap. UK industrial transportation is undervalued ATM and have decided to buy into it. The other stock I hold in this sector is Eddie Stobart.

I would rather not say on here. Send me a direct message.
