Strong sterling obviously affects this share as whilst trading in euro reports oddly now in UK. However the future effect of QE in eurozone that is positive for retailing has to be weighed with what happens in the UK General Election. Of the latter uncertainty and potential paralysis is a negative for sterling .More public spending might support the economy in the UK which in the short term maybe positive for sterling but negative further out. So there are some reasons that a holding in this company depending on your hedging perceptions but it seems recently to have been actively traded in a range ie Trading Hold ! Ex Div next week
Strong brand in France you may know it at CITE EUROPE at Coquelles. Has divested it's loss making units notably in Spain. May benefit from QE if cash does trickle through to consumers from the ECB buying white goods. Dividend payer and it has paid throughout its painful restructuring. EX DIV 05.03.15 Pays 01.04.15 @. 0.875p per share IE in sterling.
Improved like-for-like sales, including continuing outperformance in France, showed European electronics retailer Darty was fighting hard to counter tough consumer conditions in its markets. The FTSE Smallcap group, which has roughly 400 stores in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, grew group sales 5.9% in the four months from 1 May, with like-for-like (LFL) sales up 1.7%. Despite the country’s travails, France has been a strong market for Darty, and this continued with 7.1% rise in revenues, helped by the recent acquisition of leading French website Mistergooddeal.com, and 2% LFL gains. This, plus gross margins falling 70 basis points overall, was behind some analysts' forecasts and was behind the lower share price on the morning of results. Chief executive Régis Schultz said: "During the quarter we continued to see the benefits of our '4Ds' plan to Drive trading, Digitalise Darty, Develop the brand and Deliver cost savings. We gained further market share and benefitted from very positive Vision sales ahead of the football World Cup.” He pointed to a growing market share in France with continued strong performance as first franchise stores were rolled out, with the use of Darty's infrastructure for Mistergooddeal.com also increasing market share of the low price/low service segment of the market. “While we are cautious in our view of the markets, our plans for the peak period put us in a good competitive position for the coming months,” he added. Broker N+1Singer said the lower performance principally reflects the effects of a cooler summer and lower sales of refrigeration and air-con products compared to the same quarter last year.
The silliness of prev share name abbreviation extensions, looking at forecasts a good buy in price.

Darty: UBS lowers target price from 150p to 140p leaving its buy recommendation unchanged.
98p live now. 100p barrier?
Ok now it is 100% up since my thread ;)
not surprised to see a few familiar names on here. I started this thread on the ADVFN site back in April as I saw the potential here and bought in at the time. Nearly 100% up since then................................ ONE TO KEEP AN EYE ON! DRTY: share price at the start of this thread 22/04/13: 48p DRTY is having a tough time atm with its disposal of Comet and the selling of its Italian businesses and the closing of the loss making stores in Spain. The better news is that France,Belguim and The Netherlands are working out ok! DRTY seem to be making the right choices in trying to stream line the business,concentrating on the profits and cutting off the dead wood. I am not optimistic that the final year results on june 19th will be great,but I believe that an improvement will be seen and this could well be enough to re vitalise the share price.The figure to look out for is 30 million euros as that is the lower expectation for adjusted profit for the year ending 30th April.DRTY say that they are not expecting to achieve this,but lets see how close they get. Technicaly the chart looks to be setting up a potential inverted head and shoulders and with the MACD having risen from well into the -ve to just into the +ve zone and RSI trending up in the 60's things could start to move in the right direction for the price. Defo one to watch! Mr Bluesky
trades coming into here this morning...............
