Posted at 26/1/2021 15:07 by buyzantium Clearly I got the January 14th date wrong. However the continuing decline in the share price is not particularly encouraging. But what do I know as a minnow private investor with no inside knowledge. |

Posted at 11/1/2008 14:03 by m.t.glass Harsh broker notes this morning - but share price not reflecting them so far..STOCKWATCH Signet shares lower; SG cuts to 'sell'; Panmure cuts price target LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Shares in Signet Group were slightly lower midmorning after SG Securities cut its recommendation to 'sell' from 'hold' and Panmure Gordon cut its price target to 50 pence, from 60, following the company's results yesterday. At 10.22 am, Signet shares were down 1/4 penny at 55-1/2 pence. The FTSE 250 was down 37.6 points at 9,763.0. Yesterday, at 12.30 pm, Signet reported that for the eight weeks to Dec 29 -- the bulk of Signet's fourth quarter -- group sales on a like-for-like basis, which strips out the impact of new and closed stores, fell 6.8 pct. Within this, like-for-like sales in the US, where the group makes three quarters of annual sales, were down 8.1 pct, while UK like-for-like sales at H Samuel and Ernest Jones fell 3.1 pct -- a worse than expected outcome in both markets. It also revealed that the domicile of the group is under review, as US investors own nearly 50 pct. SG said in a note this morning that it had downgraded as the near term trading outlook is bleak as jewellery appears to be underperforming an already soft retail market, and a further sharp decline in profits seems probable. It said it was now forecasting a 25 pct fall in pretax profits for the year to January 2009, to 262 mln usd. SG said it anticipates further bad news in the first half of 2008. SG cut its target price to 45 pence, from 70. In other reaction this morning, Panmure Gordon said Signet's US sales and margin were in line with its expectations, but the slowdown in the UK has led it to trim its forecasts by 5 pct for 2008 and 10 pct for 2009. Panmure said that given the consumer outlook on both sides of the Atlantic, and the challenges Signet faces in repositioning on price in the year ahead, it continue to be cautious on the stock. It said a 6 pct+ dividend yield could support the shares around the current level, but downside risks to estimates remain, and so it retained its 'sell' recommendation. Yesterday, Signet shares rose 1-1/2 pence to close at 55-3/4. brian.gorman@thomson btg/slm |
Posted at 31/8/2006 03:19 by spob LONDON (AFX) - Terry Burman, chief executive of Signet Group PLC, hasinsisted the Anglo-American jewellery retailer's UK business -- 590 stores trading as H Samuel, Ernest Jones and Leslie Davis -- is "simply not up for sale" and labelled the 200 mln stg level of a possible offer from Gerald Ratner as "absurd". His comments came after Signet reported an expected 12 pct increase in first-half pretax profit. Last week Apax Partners and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR), the private equity groups, dropped plans for an offer for Signet that was expected to value the group at 2.3 bln stg. However, the jeweller Gerald Ratner remains keen to bid for Signet's UK business, while Baugur, the Icelandic investor that owns the Goldsmiths and Mappin & Webb jewellers, is understood to be watching developments closely. "It's a good business, it's a core part of our operations, it earns strong profits (50 mln stg last year), has good operating metrics (10.5 pct operating margin, 26.5 pct return on capital last year), and produces a strong cash flow," Burman told reporters. He wouldn't be drawn on whether Signet has had contact with possible suitors for its UK business, but he stressed the board is aware of its fiduciary duty to consider offers. "We, like any board, would be required to consider and should consider any offer that meaningfully improves shareholder value and we would define that as a premium to that which we could accomplish on our own," he said. "Whether we have contact or not is not something we would comment on, if we had an offer that we were required to announce we would announce." Ratner is reported to be considering an offer of 150-200 mln stg. "That's an absurd number," maintained Burman. "Businesses don't sell for four times EBIT (earnings before interest and tax)." Ratner, who has hired the accountants BDO Stoy Hayward to assist with his bid and is reported to be in talks with a consortium of financial backers led by Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC, was not immediately available for comment. For the 26 weeks to July 29, Signet made a profit before tax of 58.3 mln stg, up from 52.1 mln last time. Within this the US business, 1,257 stores trading as Kay Jewelers, Jared The Galleria of Jewelry as well as regional names, made an operating profit of 69.1 mln stg, up 13.1 pct. However, the UK business saw operating losses widen to 3.4 mln stg from 2.4 mln. As Signet had previously flagged, gross margin was lower in both markets. "The trading environment on both sides of the Atlantic during the important Christmas period will, as usual, significantly influence the outcome for the full year," said the CEO. "The businesses continue to implement initiatives designed to strengthen their competitive positions and are well placed to compete." Signet announced second-quarter and first-half sales numbers on Aug 3. The retailer's total sales increased 12.1 pct to 810.5 mln stg, while like-for-like sales, which strip out the impact of new and closed space, rose 5.2 pct. Within this, like-for-like sales in the US were up 7.0 pct -- the division continuing to outpace its key national competitor Zale Corp, with whom Signet held brief and unsuccessful merger talks in June. Like-for-likes in the UK division were flat. The interim dividend is 0.4434 pence, up 7.5 pct, payable from earnings per share of 2.2 pence, up 10.0 pct. Signet also detailed its store investment plans for 2006/07. In the US it is on track to increase space at the top end of an 8-10 pct target range. Capital expenditure on stores of 90 mln usd is planned, while investment of 115 usd in working capital is anticipated for new stores. In the UK the retailer plans refurbishments in line with the normal refit cycle. Capex on stores of 10 mln stg is planned. By 3.00 pm shares in Signet were up 1-3/4 pence at 108 pence, valuing the business at 1.87 bln stg. Credit Suisse said it is reviewing its year to end-January 2007 pretax profit forecast of 200 mln stg, but does not anticipate a major move in consensus forecasts. |
Posted at 03/8/2006 16:33 by master rsi On this mid morning Telegraph. com ...........Signet climbs to top of FTSE 250 (Filed: 03/08/2006) UK stock markets drifted in early dealings, with the FTSE 100 shedding 45.9 to 5886.2 and the FTSE 250 easing 26.4 to 9367.6. Volumes were on the subdued side due to the summer holiday. Still, there were plenty of stories to generate dealers' interest. Broadcaster ITV was again a good riser, up 2.5pc at 104p as rumours persisted that chief executive Charles Allen is likely to step down as early as next week in a move which would lead to a major reshuffle. There are also hopes that the group is still a takeover target, for a private equity predator or Roger Parry, the chairman of Johnston Press. Wm Morrison posted the biggest gain for a blue-chip stock, up 5pc at 216p as the supermarket group's sales update pleased investors. However, interim figures from chemical company ICI and consumer products group Unilever did not go down as well. ICI slid 4pc to 361p and Unilever retreated 4pc to £12.36. Signet climbed to the top of the FTSE 250 leaderboard, surging 18pc to 120p after private equity firms Apax Partners and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts said they were considering a bid for the owner of high-street stores H Samuel and Ernest Jones. Dealers speculated an offer would be pitched at around 132p a share. In June, Signet admitted it had held merger talks with US rival Zale, although these talks ended just a few days later. Engineer Cookson, which posted good interim figures yesterday but eased on profit taking, edged up 4pc to 528p. Merrill Lynch said the sharp decline in the share price was "unwarranted" and it upgraded its rating on the stock from neutral to buy with a 610p target. Defence group Ultra Electronics shed 4pc to 982p. Credit Suisse repeated its underperform rating on the stock. |
Posted at 23/3/2006 10:26 by aos Blueyonder - Try clicking on your Stocname, in this case Signet. This will take you to a screen of information. Look for the word 'Fundamentals' in the top right hand corner. Click on that. Again, that will take you to another screen. Scroll down until you come to a chart showing the information relating to dividends, ie Ex-date , rec-date, payment date etc. This sould give you the information. Another alternative is to go to the offialial company website and look for an are (sometimes) called investor relations. Under that, they quite often have a 'Financial Calendar'. Hope this helps. Happy investing ;-)Correction. Not Fundamentals, but 'Click For Financials' Example of data:- 31 Aug 2005 Interim GBP 0.41 31/01/2005 31/07/2005 05/10/2005 07/10/2005 04/11/2005 - 06 Apr 2005 Final GBP 2.63 29/01/2004 29/01/2005 08/06/2005 10/06/2005 08/07/2005 3.00 |
Posted at 29/11/2004 07:37 by maut too INTERESTING ARTICLE FROM THE MAILFrench Connection is also one of only a handful of companies without an audit committee and just one non-executive director. In a timely deal this year, Marks sold shares worth £35.6 million to fund a divorce from his wife, Alisa. Only later did he admit that he might have taken his eye off the ball because of his well-publicised personal problems. The French Connection case supports the view that good governance is important when the going gets tough and important decisions have to be taken. Now analysts at Deutsche Bank have gone a significant step further. Their research, based on a system that quantifies risk associated with different styles of corporate governance, has found that investments in companies with high scores outperform* those with low marks by up to 25%. And companies with improving governance outperform those where standards are static or slipping. The basic idea is that corporate governance is difficult and time consuming to measure, but is nevertheless a factor in assessing equity risk. Companies are rated according to 50 governance issues, most of them objective and factual. These include the independence of the board, especially whether the chairman is independent; shareholder treatment, especially where they are in a minority; the level of information disclosed; and executive pay. The Deutsche model not only incorporates current governance reforms, but goes beyond them. For example, it takes into account whether chief executives have other boardroom positions that might impinge on their time and whether directors face annual re-election - most currently rotate every three years. Deutsche used these measures to identify five companies with some of the best corporate governance indicators - BHP Billiton, Brambles, Geest, George Wimpey and Great Portland Estates - and five of the worst - Antofagasta, Associated British Foods, Burberry, Egg and, by pure coincidence, French Connection. The results are fascinating. The upper table (Figure 1) shows that shares in the former group have averaged an 18% increase this year, while those in the negative category showed no gain at all. That compares with a stock market rise of 7% over the same period. Of course, corporate governance is just one ingredient to throw into the investment mix. Traditional financial measures, such as profitability and valuation, will always be vital in making investment decisions. With that in mind, Deutsche picked a portfolio of ten companies, including BHP Billiton. So far, the results have been less conclusive, with the selections managing a 10% advance against 7% for the stock market as a whole. This is a portfolio (figure 2) well worth following and Midas will look at it in three months to see how it has fared, but we would go further and add Shell. The Anglo-Dutch oil giant recently announced a radical overhaul of its boardroom structure in the wake of a reserves scandal that initially hammered its share price. Shell's plans include unifying the two boards, introducing a system of one share, one vote, and it is appointing an independent chairman. The company hopes that by improving its corporate governance it can avoid the internal auditing and reporting failures that led to a massive overstatement of its oil and gas reserves. Shell's sensitivity to this issue was underlined on Friday when its shares fell on news that the planned corporate restructuring would take longer than previously expected. But the die is cast. Investors have already applauded the boldness of the reforms, so failure to deliver on them is not an option.

Posted at 29/12/2003 13:07 by aos Looks like that way after all! Any comments from other investors?LONDON (AFX) - UK blue chips remained modestly higher in very quiet post-Christmas trade midday, with the skeleton staff manning trading desks today happy to just square positions ahead of the New Year, dealers said. At 12.10 am, the FTSE 100 index was 13.9 points firmer at 4,455.9. Spreadbetting firm IG Index pointed to a 30 point gain on the DJIA at open. All the broader FTSE indices stayed modestly higher aside from the techMARK 100 index which slipped back 1.50 points to 1,011.16. Volume remained light with just 453.1 mln shares changing hands in 40,660 transactions with no major UK economic pointers due for release this week. US data is also set to be scarce with nothing scheduled today although key US consumer confidence data and the latest Chicago PMI numbers are due tomorrow. The corporate news diary is also virtually empty this week so the main focus remains on press comment and tips for the New Year. Defence group BAE Systems was one of the top risers up 2 pence at 168-1/4 after the Sunday Times suggested the group is looking for more money from the UK Ministry of Defence and the Treasury for two aircraft carriers to be built for the Royal Navy. Fellow defence blue chips also found support, with Rolls-Royce gaining 2-3/4 pence to 176-3/4, and Smiths Group adding 2-1/2 pence at 649. Blue chip retailers also stayed in focus as the market assessed the strength of the start of the important post-Christmas sales period, with newspapers suggesting that although Boxing Day sales may have disappointed, the weekend could have seen more of a pick-up. Marks & Spencer shares gained 1 pence to 287, recovering after a nervous performance ahead of Christmas, while Next took on 16 pence at 1,113, and Argos-owner GUS added 9-1/2 pence at 768-1/2. Selected second line retailers also found support, with Matalan rallying 9 pence higher to 172-3/4, while luxury goods group Burberry firmed 10-3/4 pence at 365-3/4. And jeweller Signet firmed 1 pence at 101-3/4 helped by good Christmas trading news from privately-owned peer Goldsmiths Group. Elsewhere on the second line, RAC remained a good performer, adding 18 pence to 595 after the group said its contract hire business, Lex Vehicle Leasing -- a joint venture with HBOS -- has been awarded a 7-year contract with anticipated revenues of 1 bln stg to provide outsourced contract hire services to Business Partner, the contract hire arm of Ford Financial. Shares in football group Manchester United took on 7-1/4 pence to 263-1/4 after consolidating their position at the top of the Premiership yesterday following victory against Middlesbrough and following a report in the Daily Telegraph naming Ralif Safin, one of the founders of oil company Lukoil, as the mystery Russian stalking the group. The report says Safin is understood to have contacted London-based investment bankers to enquire about making a bid for the club. However, the Telegraph says city sources believe his interest could have cooled after the elections, which strengthened the hand of President Putin. Meanwhile, Premier Farnell added 5-3/4 pence to 235 after being included in the Mail on Sunday's Midas 2004 portfolio. Inclusion in the influential Midas portfolio also saw Henlys gain 6 pence at 98-1/2. Elsewhere, among small cap issues, shell company Lupus Capital remained a strong performer, up 1.25 pence at 9.12 after the Sunday Telegraph reported that entrepreneur Greg Hutchings, who was ousted as chief executive of Tomkins nearly three years ago, is preparing to make a comeback on the stock market with an injection of capital in to the stock market minnow. Arc Risk Management also moved higher, adding 0.13 pence at 1.50 after highlighting upcoming product launches in a trading statement. Stanelco found support too, adding 0.50 pence at 6.00 after the Daily Mail on Boxing Day highlighted whispers that a contract is coming up for the group with a big supermarket chain. But on the downside, shares in Jasmin dropped 3-1/2 pence to 48-1/2 after warning on Christmas Eve that the last eighteen months of trading has been a difficult period in terms of cash management, with various contracts which have overrun. Trading in Gympie Gold shares was suspended midmorning -- having earlier dropped 2-1/2 pence lower to 19-1/2 -- extending its Christmas Eve decline after confirming that a fire has damaged its Southland joint venture in Australia, with possible closure of the mine being considered. dlh/rn By accessing the services available at ADVFN you are agreeing to be bound by ADVFN's Terms & Conditions Contact Us Copyright©1999-2003 ADVFN PLC.
