Kingfisher reporting similar results to Wickes basically holding flat ready for recovery in 2025. Consumers holding back on big ticket items their spending is on general maintenance products

Sadly still a fair bit off that 250p price. I suppose that it was demerged at a bit of a peak in the sector. Travis Perkins was about £15.50 at that time and is now worth just over half that. It's current price is about the same as 20 yrs ago, so not in a good place either.

[this_is_me] 11/9/2024 09:32

At this rate they couold reach the IPO price.

Two quid Christmas prezzie here?

And, even in the 170s, it's still over 6% divi!

[creditcrunchies] 11/9/2024 06:17

It looks like their margins have improved a tiny amount and their guidance is more positive, they've maintained the dividend and they're buying back a lot of shares. Their stores around here look busier so they're well placed if this sector recovers. I still think these could go over 200p

[wad collector] 10/9/2024 07:54

The interims are a bit of a mixed bag, I am surprised that this critical market has not looked negatively at them. Glad to be surprised!

[hamhamham1] 10/9/2024 07:35

Nice move today, still approx 6% divi, bargain.

These should go over 200p as this sector is gathering momentum now

[this_is_me] 29/8/2024 17:25

Are you being serious? You should not sell when it is going up unless you get nervous and top slice a few.

[prokartace] 29/8/2024 09:48

I agree it has had a re-rating but isn't that the time to sell?

[spawny100] 29/8/2024 08:43

Yes. About time. I've been buying since 120's waiting for it!

[this_is_me] 28/8/2024 15:58

This is looking like a re-rating.

[this_is_me] 23/8/2024 15:50

We are looking for a move up from this resistance level next week.

Bought into this one in May 2023 at £1.27

Always liked Wickes and have noticed a considerable pick up in trade at my local branch since it divested from TPK.

Made a purchase as it appeared undervalued, so an opportunity for capital appreciation along with a chunky dividend. So far it hasn’t disappointed.

Definitely one to hold.

[creditcrunchies] 23/8/2024 15:30

This is breaking out now after being in the doldrums for 2 years.

[wad collector] 23/8/2024 10:59

Yes though still a pound short of it's initial divestment peak in 2021. Hold and prosper?

[spawny100] 21/8/2024 14:43

About to breakout to 2 year high?

[albert35911] 18/8/2024 10:19

It’s doing very well I hope it carries on.

[this_is_me] 15/8/2024 15:57

Onwards and upwards at the present.

[albert35911] 06/8/2024 14:28

Thought this would go back up today

[careful] 31/7/2024 07:44

this is a good little company, well run.
undervalued.
