Cost savings to increase profits is one thing.

Cost savings because you have lost work to competitors/market shrinking/you've lost volume......................I would propose is not good for shareholders.

Last year the book division made £11.9m of St Ives £14.9m (pre tax)profits.

I'd like to be proved wrong....but I have a feeling that in the hot pursuit of the new 'marketing services company strategy'....they have taken the eye off the ball and the cash cow has an upset stomach.

[gswredland] 15/2/2013 13:18

Absolutely Douglas. Cost savings are good for shareholders!

Are you able to elaborate on redundancies at Clays?

[douglasallen] 15/2/2013 10:47

@wave

we knew SIV was scaling back the book division, which was surprisingly profitable.

the fact they are actively seeking to cut costs in a division which is doing well given the outlook is good for shareholders.

[waveneygnome] 14/2/2013 21:27

Confirmed 30 redundancies at the book division.

Management also trying to push through contractual changes to working hours to make workforce more flexible to cope with peak/ebb in demand.

Is the cash cow running out of milk?

With the TS just over a month away, I believe that SIV share price will just follow the market trend until the update. I remain a buyer at these prices believing this share has the potential to double within 2 years.

it keeps comming back to the resistance may need some news to break through...

[jakedog2] 06/2/2013 19:44

thecat....thanks for response.
Hopefully mkt will stay buoyant leading up too update.

However, feel at some point in near future, profits will taken in the general mkt and return too ' risk off'

[thecat] 06/2/2013 13:42

just been advised from st ives there will not be a pre-close trading statement. So we will have to wait for the results on 12th march.

[aran26] 05/2/2013 22:02

I have 8th of Feb on my phone!

[jakedog2] 05/2/2013 17:41

Any idea when the TS is due to be released?

Was end of Jan last year....

[cjohn] 04/2/2013 09:09

And why in your view does something we all know already merit a new thread?

[richard jones 3] 01/2/2013 12:49

good interview with boss of st ives,he mentions that the company is generating lots of cash,things are really looking up.

[scottishfield] 01/2/2013 09:08

cheers, tks terrier, I'm rather a late entrant.

[terrier] 31/1/2013 12:31

A two page write up and buy recommendation by GRILLER in Shares mag today. It mentions possible expansion plans in the US and the far east, and says that growth is still in its early days with a lot further to run.

[waveneygnome] 28/1/2013 21:45

Word on the presses was 'REDUNDANCY'................to be announced at the book printing side of things.

Not sure if this is simply efficiency savings from new technology, or downturn in orders.

[thecat] 28/1/2013 17:40

nice Hammer

[lord gnome] 28/1/2013 12:31

Are you referring to the unknown unknowns 12at?

[12at] 28/1/2013 12:12

that's good its nothing negative we're unaware of

[bookbroker] 28/1/2013 12:05

We had one of them on Friday, a term used far too frequently, consolidation more like before the statement.

[thecat] 28/1/2013 11:59

[12at] 28/1/2013 11:03
