Another 1950's business being too slow to adapt to reality.
Very few letters delivered these days, no need at all for a daily delivery.

The premium service of special delivery is tracked and cost more, but would suffice for the important stuff.

Parcels are big business but they need to be modernised with automation, as amazon has done.

Still a big advantage of delivering to every door and the turnover at £10bn should be sufficient to ensure survival, but the unions are a serious problem.

Fewer letters so they push for a shorter working week. They get paid for overtime when they do not work it sometimes.

So many industries have perished because of this combination of poor management and trade union power.

Delivery and the internet is a great opportunity.
why don't they diversify, deliver own brand food, clothes, other products.

Take on Amazon, be brave, you have the infrastructure.
Use some imagination.

this is wide open for a bidder just to come in and sell off all of the assets then sell off whatever core business is left over

New Peel Hunt price target today slashes RMG to 1.20. These are a gonner, likely to be re nationalised, declining business model, doomed. Can see them at .50p, my only surprise is Woodford wasn't a holder haha.

or delivered to another street with the same house number

perhaps the olive branch got lost in the post.

Do you have any link or anything, would make all the difference?

Might not get the chance. I hear CWU have offered an olive branch.

[srpactive] 18/2/2020 16:08

Yes if we do I will join in.

[stupmy] 18/2/2020 15:01

If we do, I'll be tempted to double my position.

[srpactive] 18/2/2020 14:37

S

I feel we could see a retest of the recent intraday lows
of 168p, or so. Then it will be interesting, keeping a very close
eye on this one.

I bought at 175 last thursday. I think the price will exceed 188 in the near future and will exit accordingly. Might not the top of this riseand even on the short term charts this has not turned bullish yet (although there are some positive signs).

so what is it that these two brokers are seeing that others are not.the assets are worth twice the share price.once the unions are dealt with which will happen because the employees are not that stupid to put their jobs at risk the share price will climb back over £3.

[encarter] 12/2/2020 14:10

It would take a labour government to renationalise it. They would buy all the shares back but it won't happen.

[mj19] 12/2/2020 09:38

What happens to share holders money if this becomes nationalised

[isis] 11/2/2020 11:48

BBC not Government/Corporate controlled, also Guardian, Independent and loads others don't report alot of stuff.

[rogerrail] 11/2/2020 11:14

Far from a 3 yr pay deal, RMG needs a 3 yr pay freeze to be any where near competitive. Cant see the CWU buying that! As I said, their objective is rationalisation and they will break the company if they have to in order to get it.

[lefrene] 11/2/2020 11:08

Just makes one realise that global corporate elites who control the media are all part of the political control system that milks the peasantry.

France has had Riots for around 2 years now between workers and Government. Not just in Paris either - doesn't seem to get much coverage though. I'm sure if that was London would be headline news everyday Worldwide.

[porsche1945] 11/2/2020 10:24

RMG are symbolic of brexit UK, going down the toilet. Poorly run, high cost, medieval productivity and a declining business model. .90p by the end of the year.

[marky60] 11/2/2020 07:23

Unlikely I would say. More likely a showdown is coming which RMG will have to win. Otherwise, hedge funds will come down on this like a ton of bricks!
