I don't like Topps but their range of tiles is 2nd to none IMHO.
Each to their own. |
It will take a long time. As plenty of competition out there who have much better range |
A new board won't make any difference, it's tough for the trades right now. It will bounce back as it always does. Until then ...... |
Time for new team at top I think |
Hmm, the fact that they are pointing out 2023 was a record year smacks of trying to talk the poor results up. |
Recovering now, I think the market pretty much expected this. Going to be interesting to see the May presentation. Obviously we will get a new three or five year target and strategy but will the dividend remain intact? What about our Polish significant minority holder? That needs to be resolved |
Ooops. Another poor performance and the shares go south |
No, unless there are signs of green shoots and the market is looking forwards |
TU next Wednesday ; suspect there won't be much good news there. |
Starting to have a look here.
I have seen consensus 1 to 3 year eps growth figures that are mouthwatering but at the moment old sentiment prevails. So we need to see some positives to interest rates, which could be soon.
Watching. |
Maybe it's just reach a new floor ! |
Moved to a new 14 month low , it looks a very long way back up now. |
First fortnight in January , everywhere is quiet, not sure TPT any quieter than Travis Perkins or other merchants. Mind you it does seem VERY quiet. |
It's tough out there.
Myself and the poster Death by Donut, gave you a honest view from both ends of the country !. It will take a lot of time for the building trades to recover ! but recover it will. If you believe in Topps ! the lower share price will give you the opportunity to buy more shares for your money, there is always a silver lining.
Good Luck. |
Just in case anyone else was feeling optimistic about a recovery here, out comes the gloom of Q1 .Yes they said it would be weak, but confirmation is never going to be welcomed by the market. Await Q3 &4? |
Well some of it is due to ex div but that would only be a 5% drop |
Why is this off 10% today? |
Encouraging look to the share price this week. Only another pound and I will be back in the blue.... |
Results don't make great reading, dividend uncovered now and bleak trading statement for new year. The upside I guess is that they are well placed to take market share from less strong competitors in this weak macro phase of the cycle.
Concrete evidence here for the Governor of the BOE |
Cheers for response, similar to what I'm seeing / experiencing.Good luckDbD |
I'm subby to a company who has a few Persimmon sites and one Bellway in Scotland's central belt.
Work on building sites has tailed off but they are still building and selling houses. In some cases tiling with the classic marble look, just to finish the house unsold in preparation for the upturn that will come.
He gets domestic work to fill in the gaps. I was talking with a bathroom fitter at the start of the week and he was saying how quiet he is. So we will just have to keep it tight and wait for the upturn.
Good luck to you DbD |
Out of interest do u sub to any of the big HBs?Just wondered what ur seeing on the ground?Don't have to be specific. I'm South West/West and now have some sites shutting down.Just for interest, no intention of deramping any particular stock.DbD Good luck |
I'm just a subby with a dislike for Topps the few times I've had to use them.
But
Since the German company took ove CTD and hiked thier prices a few tilers have opened account with Topps. Prices are cheaper and they carry a varied stock,
Good luck. |
