Yes I seen that so just profit taking then ? Seems a lot although after the last round of raising finance the share price dipped then also

[haroldthegreat] 28/8/2018 10:54

House of Fraser dealt with xpo , nothing to do with xpd. See my previous post .!!!!

[amencorner] 28/8/2018 10:37

maybe some folk taking fright after the House of Fraser potential bad debt for XPD. Also after such a good run profit-taking as in my case in mid-August.

[sowerby] 28/8/2018 10:34

Anyone any idea why the drop over the last 2 weeks ? Looking like a 15% drop for no reason .

House of Fraser owes xpo logistics £30.4 million according to the Evening Standard. luckily nothing to do with xpd !
I trust xpd has a better credit control department than xpo .

This is an example of why ordinarily I won't leave stops in the market

[jimbo123elf] 03/8/2018 10:00

Based on the market maker's past behaviour in relation to this stock somebody probably sold 1/10000th of the company and the market maker duly responded by marking down their quote by 1/10000th, oh no wait, 15%. No need to be concerned IMO. Top up if required.

[greenroom78] 03/8/2018 09:58

Looks like a load of stops have been triggered on light volume. No idea what prompted it. I've added, mid 60s seems a bargain after a few weeks in the 80s. Recent placing price and BoD purchase notably higher than these prices.

[bahiflyer] 03/8/2018 09:58

Looks like a fishing expedition.
Struggling to buy in any number at the price.

[jondavies8] 03/8/2018 09:57

Well the only thing I can see at the moment is that Dividends have been paid today. So maybe some were waiting for the payout before taking profit?

[sowerby] 03/8/2018 09:56

Anyone any idea what's happened?

[davr0s] 03/8/2018 09:47

Well what's happening here then

[shanklin] 11/7/2018 11:32

Its good to know that XPD and ED are so certain about the impact of Brexit.

[edmonda] 11/7/2018 11:30

after the accretive and strategic acquisition of ISL, an updated research note with new forecasts has just been published. Freely accessible here:

[bigbigdave] 10/7/2018 07:21

All sounding very positive imo

Stephen Blyth, Chief Executive of Xpediator, commented:

"We are very pleased to announce a significantly oversubscribed Placing from both new and existing investors and we are excited by the opportunities we have in front of us. There is no doubt that wider macro factors and consumer trends are supporting an increased demand for logistics services across our markets but we are also benefitting from the success of our acquisition strategy. The new funds raised today will support the acquisition of Import Services Limited, our fourth acquisition in the last 12 months and we expect it will have a similarly positive impact on our financial performance as well as significantly increasing our sea freight capabilities.

The institutions are getting filled though!

[nico115] 09/7/2018 20:22

Illegal bookbuild?I put order in at 72p and not filled Therefore not a book build Illegal

[martinthebrave] 09/7/2018 18:59

Shanklin - You may be right but that is not their model really. In case you haven't seen it before, here is a link to their Mello presentation last May. Pretty informative for holders -

[shanklin] 09/7/2018 14:47

mtb

Surely they will have paid more for the acquisition than the value of the warehouse when viewed solely property terms?

[martinthebrave] 09/7/2018 14:08

Guys, #XPD is a Franchise operation. They are middle men. They have simply bought warehouse space. I have bought more first thing 76.5p. GLA

[shanklin] 09/7/2018 09:47

There must be shedloads of transport related businesses wanting to sell out (seemingly at a low price) before Brexit.

[ddav] 09/7/2018 09:28

Hidden Institution buys coming out!

[soundbuy] 09/7/2018 09:02

Ditto re Brexit - their confidence in some way rather than reassuring, more alarming.......

For such confidence you need visibility going fwd and I can't see where this would come from at present but hey ho.......
