I don't work for M&S, but if I did I'd also consider the capital gains tax implications of selling all my shares in one chunk.
Our plan is S&S ISA's, we still feel there's growth to be had in the old girl and current
strategy hasn't been fully realised. No panic selling here.
Their plans! Hit the back of my hand with a ruler for that. And its Gill and I. š and I failed GCSE English....and the other 7 yet have a degree, go figure.
Mass selling? Where did you get that idea from, are stores going to open later so staff have time to off load first thing?
I'd imagine the maturation of the sharesave scheme will be hot topic in the staff room and shop floor, there will be people with share dealing experience and Management with a good understanding of where the company is and having an input. If you'd put some of your hard earned away every month would you be selling at the first chance, dont think so. Staff will have also seen the SP drop 10%+ over the last ten days and I'm sure will wait it out unless thay had something pre planned. We dropped 10% over 10 days last March and then gained it back again over the next 10days, same could happen here and May isn't far away.
There are people on this BB with partners or friends who work in store, what are there plans?

Do you think the mass selling of sharesave shares will cause the sp to plummet in the short term?
Good afternoon. Yesterday I went into M&S in Reading with no particular aim in my mind, but between us we spent about Ā£200, could easily have spent more, and she signed up for a credit card, which amazingly was immediately operational. Anyone holding shares here is recommended to pay your nearby M&S a visit. It was well set out, plenty of other customers, and attentive staff without being pushy. My girlfriend had until now been convinced that it was the place for food and underwear but finished up saying lets come back next week. Its cold right now but M&S felt most warming for Gill and me.

I can reasure you all that all going to right direction. Nothing to worry at the moment regarding SP. Please note that I can confirm that post Xmas sale volumes are higher than last years (based on Kent and South east London distribution center area). Just hold and be patient and full year results will be over delivered.
Wait until 1st Feb onwards when 70m shares could get sold when employees see their shares that they bought for 82p!!!
Thanks guys
Always helpful
Always in thoughtful
Lets hope they are able to over-deliver for the full year results and Ocado partnership continues to improve. I remain positive and will continue to add on weaknesses.
Seem markets got ahead of themselves late last year betting on interest rate cuts, but with higher inflation in the UK today and stronger retail spending numbers in the US predictions for rate cuts are being pushed back. Markets have reacted accordingly which has affected MKS but when those cuts do eventually come thingsĀ willĀ pickĀ up. Also cautious forward looking statement from MKS
The news article above states...Retailers Frasers and Marks & Spencer fell 2.0% and 2.4% over concerns about what higher for longer rates would mean for the consumer.
Lol, I'm fairly confident our average consumer will benefit from higher savings rates and those getting a 10% increase in state pension.
Can anyone shed light on why this sp has gone down so much?
i thought with all the positive new sp would hold
i will hold for now
gla
Tell me about it, my top ups in December aren't looking too wise..short term, but I can wait.
I'm out, market sucks and has gone downhill very quick since the new year
Spring seems a long way off, although I did see some daffs today
2.85 just may go lower first, close your eyes Spring is around the corner.
...... back to please?

Yes, excellent, as expected, a big pull up by M&S for Ocado Retail with M&S customers now switching to Ocado Retail when they cannot get to store, as an alternative, or when travelling distance is too far.
The value of the partnership is now shining through with increased sales and higher margins because of economies of scale.
Top it up today cos it's time to rebounce now.
thoughts anyone?
hopefully this should make a difference.

Thank you.
Neutral - they are just minor adjustments around an overall 5% position which they have held and adjusted in a similar fashion for a while. Very common for Blackrock to do that on large companies, likely just algo driven as well.
Help needed. Can anyone explain this RNS in terms of good/bad, just one word or sentence would help me. Thanks folks.
