"The company's shares have dipped 0.01p to 48.39p despite a positive reception to a visit to Aylesbury to see its new format." Are they seriously reporting a 0.01p fluctuation as a dip in price??
Lets hope this is more than a brief visit to the 49p world. With all the positives around this company it is really surprising that it has not performed better than it has. We all know the reason that it should rise into the mid 50s but it does appear to be hard news driven and for that we must wait for 17th Dec. It is not long now, so do not be tempted to cash in because you will, quite soon, regret doing that. Many of us have come a long way with this one and all the reasons for selling are behind us, now is the time to see profits accumulate!!
In a buy note Oriel Securities analyst Alistair Davies said momentum in the UK was strong, with the business on track to move into the 3% to 4% margin area. He said: Dixons' analyst trip highlighted the company's continued steps in establishing itself in the UK as a service-led multichannel retailer. Dixons' first half will reflect on a successful period following agreements to dispose of non-core assets. We forecast underlying group earnings before interest and tax of £39.4m (first half 2013 £8.8m) and underlying pretax profit of £9.4m (first half 2013 loss of £22.3m). In the UK we expect second quarter like for like sales to have accelerated to 10%...An update in the coming year on the expiring Phones 4U contract could be a further positive. We continue to believe there is upside to forecasts within the UK business and reiterate our buy stance.
We have broken 49p after long time!
http://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/products/displays/dixons-tests-smart-labels-for-smartphone-linkup-2013-11/? Dixons tests smart labels for smartphone linkup Dixons Retail, owners of Currys and PC World, are trialling electronic shelf labels (ESLs) installed by the Herbert Group at their store in Aylesbury. Using technology similar to e-readers, ESLs display price and product information at the point of purchase. ESLs allow Dixons to make automatic pricing and timed promotional updates as and when required at any time. “As the new technology is used more widely, we hope to see customers interacting with these through their smartphones and QR codes, or by using social media to ‘like’ particular products,” said Simon Swanborough, project manager at Dixons Retail. The SmartTAGs labels are supplied by Pricer. The trial is taking place across 10 categories at the Dixons 2,100sqm Currys and PC World store in Aylesbury, with the project being managed by the Herbert Group. “Until now, in-store merchandising has been limited in its responsiveness to changes in the market place and consumer dynamics, and is generally reactive rather than adaptive,” said Raj Sangha, business development manager at Herbert. “An ESL solution, such as the Pricer SmartTAGs that we installed for Dixons Retail, provides the ability to implement an adaptive and engaging merchandising strategy,” said Sangha.
http://shorttracker.co.uk/company/GB0000472455/all Just checked and although Fest have reduced their short position over a period of time, I can't see the reduction from last week.
blondeamon on ADVFN points out that Fest reduced their short from 3.26% down to 2.86% last week. This explains the 13m delayed trade I mentioned as a buy. Very interesting to consider that those crazy Dutch shorts at Fest perhaps see this price as a new base.
Yes, the daily UT is exactly that. The 13m trade I was referring was a delayed trade (UT's are ever delayed, they are posted each day) from Tuesday last week, not a UT.
Hi - it's worth bearing in mind that post 4.30pm trades are ' Balancing the Books ' trades and are not the true buy sell amount stated - have high hopes of the 50p break through - Cheers - The Kid -
the late reported trade on Friday evening.
3m trade today. Someones loading up or closing 'dem shorts. 3rd, 4th day in a row I think?
Hmmm, interesting, very interesting - good to see even Puffy is beginning to turn positive on this little gem - Cheers - The Kid -
I dont care who ever wins that console battle, but ultimately there is only one winner and that is DXNS. These consoles are releasing just at right time. Bring on Dec 17 and then Jan 16!
What is the message, sell @ 50p and re-buy @ 47p? A great strategy which would have worked in the past but this time you might just get left behind, cussing and cursing!! Fear not....... no more returns to mid 40s

its time for us to all get excited about DXNS breaking 50p, and then watch it fall to 46-47 again. come on ! what are you wating for.
...though results in Jan (to include console Christmas) will be a big catalyst on from whatever base we establish in the coming weeks (with Dec 17th data).
Hi All - ok, had a quick word in the ear of my couple of guys within the mms community yesterday morning, and they seem to have done the necessary - at long last a decent rise followed by yet another decent rise - are we now into launch mode ? - looking very juicy from here on - GLA - Cheers - The Kid -
Citi has rated it a buy all year... consensus is buy
Good info - cheers for that.
http://www.brandrepublic.com/news/1220900/pitch-update-amv-bbh-m-c-compete-50m-dixons-account/? Pitch update: AMV, BBH and M&C compete for £50m Dixons account campaignlive.co.uk, 14 November 2013, 08.30 am 18 Feet & Rising has been knocked out of the £50 million Dixons advertising review. This leaves Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO and Bartle Bogle Hegarty to face the incumbent, M&C Saatchi. This article was first published on campaignlive.co.uk
Citigroup rated this as a buy ... Interesting. Time for some research.
but it has held up well in the face of the ftse being down over 100 points at one stage today. Hopefully, when investors get over the good news regarding the economy things will move further in our direction. Fears over a sooner than expected rise in interest rates is the main thing spooking the markets. However, greater growth, rising employment and low inflation bode well for the retail sector and we will be prime beneficiaries as Dxns investors when the feel good factor takes hold.
The clue is in the name "Advent tablet". The same with the Pioneer TV. They are produced by someone else and may or may not be rebadged by dixons. With the tablet most definitely; with the TV who is going to buy an unbranded Dixons tv. Pioneer is a ready made recognisable brand. Advent isn't - it is a downmarket brand producing low cost low spec items. It needs to have higher spec than the Tesco hudl and at the same price point (which is easily doable as it is a later product). The price point is at a very competitive level as there are well priced products at just a little bit more - Nook HD. The profit margin on these devices must be quite high for everyone wanting to get in on the act.
