With global clothing sales down due to CoVid restrictions etc one could assume that franchisees may be sitting on lots of stock, orders for upcoming seasons may therefore be lower which in turn may put pressure on the viability of suppliers with lower production runs, or higher costs to produce the lower volume. It may be a year till the picture becomes clearer. If Boots tho flies then maybe a different story?.. Takeover unlikely due to Pension.. “treading water” stock in short term?..
Looks like your prediction is unfolding ??
Wow the short sellers on MTC!!!
Unless something materially positive eg new CEO or new franchise partners I guess we have to wait till next trading update which will still have CoVid impact so my guess is a gradual downward drift to around 13p until new news. Had hoped to be mid 20’s by now. If Middle East and Boots kick in we will be ok..
Big buy this morning...
27-May-21 11:52:24 16.03 1,350,000 Buy* 216.41k
Wonder if we’ll see any change in SP until end of July now
Agree would be nice to know, maybe current team doing ok without a CEO, big call to get right person and still a potential takeover target in my view so who would want it?.. sales update will be interesting
Any news on the new CEO, they'v been waiting on this a while. I wouldn't be surprised if they bring back MNJ again!
Hi All, If I wanted to find out the number of MTC outstanding for available purchase, where can I find this information? Thanks
A lot of results are getting delayed currently due to the coronavirus. I think these should be good with a positive forward looking statement included to give us some guidance going forward. This company's change to an internet only operation should be very profitable, especially post the birth boom pandemic and JV with Boots.
Mothercare will announce its planned FY21 full year pre-close trading update on Tuesday 25 May 2021, ahead of its audited final results in July.
What is planned to occur on the 25th May?
not until the 25th May now according to the latest RNS
Its coming apparently this week or next I've been informed.
*trading update
what happend to the trading that was due end of April ?
Great to see price climbing nicely... long way to go :)
Just a great recovery coming through on this stock, let's hope it goes on for some time.
How likely is it that MTC get taken over in the next few months? Rumours aside, this brand surely has some international potential, no presence in South America, Africa, not sure what is the potential in China?.. Needs to offload pension and get some cash injection?.. a bid of what could secure a deal?.. 30p??
previous rns was saying there was a baby boom in overseas markets however this article says otherwise.

Who knows, could see a boom when the pandemic is all over done with

I think people just dont realize the international operation is where the money is. Probably not the sexyess stock to get excited about but once they become profitable shud start rollin in
Admittedly I’ve not been too impressed with the range thats been available at the boots stores, doesnt seem to be upto the same quality they use to have at ther own mothercare stores, i find it more comparable to supermarket clothing. The design team need to up their game.
Zara clothing have some nice stuff in their kids range and was goin for dirt cheap post xmas sales
Herdie best you stick to bitcoin.
Mothercare is last century - Was killed by the the age of the internet and Superstores, has no hope of ever rekindling Market share in any big way.
Agree it should be a great opportunity but not sure it will be.. George at Asda is on the up, and Babyshop expanding globally...
Kilminster Hi,
Agree, ticks all the boxes going forward... it's a tremendous opportunity for Mothercare.
Brand is so important and Mothercare gives such strength to this market place.
