Shorts now closing fast and down to 6.7%

Sainsbury edging up.


If they come back with an improved offer for Morrisons, this will boost the whole sector.

We are in Bear Squeeze territory.

Wouldn't like to be short here.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

The immediate red downticks on the last three posts means the shorts are very worried.

[quepassa] 22/6/2021 14:08

The Sainsbury shorts must be hurting after the Morrison approach and the consequent big jump in the Sainsbury share price.

Sainsbury remains the most heavily shorted UK stock at 7.51% as at Monday 21st. June.


Isn't this the perfect scenario for a massive bear squeeze?

ALL IMO. DYOR.

It's managements job to manage the company on behalf of its stakeholders. The share price should rise as a consequence

" It’s not managements job to influence the share price "


Sainsbury's is a Public Limited Company

The Sainsbury family sold their business to the stock market 50 years ago


The share price over the long term correlates directly with the decisions made in one small room in Holborn.

The Sainsbury share price shows that nothing good has come out of that small room for decades.

konradpuss:
If you like food you should always attempt to chose the items yourself.
Home delivery and click and collect should be discouraged amongst
healthy active people.
Perhaps there should be a tax on it like a sugar tax.
Its just generally a bad and unhealthy way of life.

[konradpuss] 20/6/2021 09:43

spot, why are you so sure?

I switched to 'click and collect' and will never go back. A Tuesday slot at £1.50 - Tesco mind!

Asda to accelerate strategy:


A key element of Asda’s future strategy is its partnerships strategy to create more compelling retail destinations. In a post on LinkedIn, senior director of corporate development and partnerships Matt Harrison, highlighted the latest developments:

The launch of 100 In the Style stores from the online fashion retailer.

Three more Decathlon stores launched with a smaller numbers of bays, testing the potential to bring a more compact Decathlon offer to more Asda stores.

Claire’s, the young fashion accessories brand, will be in over 200 stores by the end of the month while Accessorize will test in a bigger shop-in-shop proposition at Asda’s flagship Minworth store.

musicMagpie has now been launched at 200 Asda stores and a further announcement is in pending.

Love to go to the AGM and ask them ...

Any idea why Sainsbury's is the most heavily shorted stock on the whole London stock exchange ?

Lol

[chiefbrody] 16/6/2021 11:50

Love to see the Hedge Funds burn.SP graph over the last year or so is pretty decent. Hopefully another new year high in a few weeks.

Sainsbury’s launches new tagline, Helping Everyone Eat Better

The brand has dropped its long-running line Live Well for Less for a new emphasis on healthy eating, for both us and the planet.

The new positioning is created by Wieden + Kennedy London, and features an exuberant new commercial with a voiceover by Stephen Fry.

With the work, Sainsbury’s aims to stress that its offering is both good for people but also for the planet. The spot, directed by Filip Nilsson, features striking and colourful shots of healthy food alongside the black-and-white imagery with orange branding that we’ve come to know from the brand in recent years.

The emphasis of this new campaign is part of a series of moves that Sainsbury’s has made towards being more sustainable. The brand has made a commitment to reach net zero by 2040 in its own operations, and is also committed to developing and delivering healthy and sustainable diets for all. It will report on its progress with this twice a year.

“Working with Sainsbury’s we’ve evolved the brand to have more of a point of view on their products, on the planet and on the health of their customers,” says Darren Simpson, creative director at Wieden + Kennedy London. “Together we’ve got to a place where we’ve retained the strong visual brand but moved it into a place where the Sainsbury’s voice stands out across all channels. It feels good to be playing our part in helping our clients make a positive impact on customers’ lives.”

QIA sold 9.99% of Sainsbury's (40% of their holding) to VESA for 50% plus less then they paid for the shares in the first place.

The conclusion I come up with that the QIA have a better place to deploy this money rather than keeping it in Sainsbury's and/or they think that for some time to come the Sainsbury's share price will not go much higher from here.
