Dixons Retail PLC at Citi European Retail Investor Day
some old colleagues of mine - they have said they are now focusing on mobile broadband and data tariffs to get a slice of the 3G/4G tablet experience looks like there is some decent margin to be made here.
Vast buys outweighing sells for a 3rd day at least, market very confident to buy at this 46-47p level, good news. Also Home RNS today. Argos +2% LFL. Dixons +6% in the UK (ok not totally comparable product lines) - I know which i'd rather have. Little concerned about the lack of new iPads though...
Hi - hmm, interesting dip then rise through today - Cheers - The Kid -
Tablets to overtake PCs in Q4 • 5:01 AM Shipments of tablet computers will outstrip those of PCs for the first time in Q4, research firm IDC predicts, saying that tablet deliveries will reach 84.1M units and PC shipments 83.1M. Those benefiting from the trend include Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN) and Samsung (SSNLF.PK), while those suffering include HP (H-P), Microsoft (MSFT) and Dell (DELL). The total market for Internet-connected devices of desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets is projected to climb 28% to $622.4B in 2013 and then to $735.1B in 2015. (PR)
Let's push this bad boy over the hump....
Home retail group ...up up and away..!!!
morning all - ok, so this being stuck in the high 40s is a bit frustrating but let's not get greedy - as I said before, this is up 350% from 12 months ago - yes the news is very good, but that is why the price is now 47p and not 13p - no stock just keeps on soaring - it already has and will continue to rise from here on, albeit with a few bumps on the way, but it's no good just ignoring just how much this gem has already motored - I wish it were that simple - I'm buried in this one at the moment so let's just keep the faith - this is going places but as our leader DRAX says - patience is the virtue of success !! - - The wise olde trout -
As a huge believer in the prospects for Dixons, and having pretty good knowledge of how things are going, plus being heavily long and planning to add to get to £7.5k-£10k a point, I'm not concerned just a bit frustrated at where we sit today. Yes I know look at where we were last year I get that, but new news and proof is being layered on every few months so we should see the price move. I've been looking at the last few months, from that weird day on the 24th June where we lost 6 points in a day then recovered it all. Results were 20th June, but it was not until 24th July that the steady, consistent move forward kicked in, that saw some support at 44-47p for a week of so. Perhaps we can hope for some similar movement by the end of Sep early October if history is to repeat itself?
' ... As a result, analysts have begun to lift their outlooks for corporate earnings. After raising their forecast for UK economic growth by 1.4 percentage points to 2.1 per cent in 2014, Citi’s strategists upgraded UK stocks to overweight last week. The more buoyant prospects for spending have lifted the FTSE General Retailers index to its highest level since May 2007. Companies such as electronics chain Dixons, which has added almost two-thirds to its market capitalisation this year, and clothes retailer Next, up 39 per cent, are leading the rally. Online grocer Ocado has soared. '
' Dixons' announcement of the disposal of loss-making online unit PIXmania and Electroworld operations in Turkey resulted in us placing the group's long-term IDR of 'B' on Rating Watch Positive. Completion of the disposal has the potential to result in a one-notch upgrade as it means the credit profile will be driven predominantly by the core UK and Nordic operations. '
All of the longer term holders here are holding with a genuine confidence that this will rise by a substantial percentage in the next three months. Sid is right to point out that we have seen a very impressive run up to where we are now, and in only a few months. YoungMaverick speaks for most of us when he expresses some frustration with the lack of response to substantially good news. However, many of us have made some really good profits on this upward journey by buying a few extra on dips and selling on a week or two later for nice returns. My difficulty with this strategy is that I am reluctant to let them go once bought. However, I have twisted my own arm on a few occasions and made decent money. Actually I did a check on this, and found that I am more than three thousand in front with these short forays. Of course I still have my substantial long position which is well in front, as will be the case for many others on this board. I suppose the point I am making is that while things can always be better we (long term holders) have and are doing very well out of this share. There is no cause for anxiety as is often the case when holding big, it is simply a walk in the park. We know where it is going. Relax and enjoy!!
I completely agree about your point that broker upgrades not being used as a gude. I am not saying brokers are correct. But whenever a host of big name brokers upgrade the share price follows the majority of the time. Whether the upgrade is correct or not is a different matter. This should be re-rating as we speak to above 50p. Im all for patience, I have been in and out of this since 12p levels, but it has been hanging about in the 40s for too long, especially with pix news out. it should have rached to above 50p. I still am not selling until it reaches a £1 atleast, but my aim was 70p by Xmas, and with 3 months to go we are over 40% away from that target
Hello. Well let's hope it all works out. I don't really expect to get those filled, and don't mind either way, but I'm not missing out on any buying opps - that's for sure.
Hi Sid! I am amazed but you have exactly the same type of orders I have launched as well! I would not worry that much on DXNS. The share would appreciate in value gradually. Take a look at these poor poor people in FJET...This is THE definition of a club of wild gamblers! All thought they would make thousands of FJet quickly and here you have them all complaining. Human Greed I can understand...but Greed AND ignorance is a lethal cocktail! I was about to post a message on their board saying....could the last man exiting the stock please shut the door.... but I did not as I do not invest in AIM stocks. But there you go...we believe in DXNS and I am positive the share would not disappoint its long time holders.
I agree mate, lets just enjoy the ride. Im in for the long term. All houses need solid foundations. and m taking the Shard view, the longer this takes to build to the top the better the support.
if anyone has taken any profits, you could do alot worse than chuck it in the Standard Life IMO. Holding up well after the div and I'm looking for 370 by Oct. Just sharing my thoughts while I'm waiting for my lunch.
But we all know that broker rec's aren't worth a bean. We can't laugh at them when we're going the opposite(good) way and then moan when we're going the opposite(bad) way. I've never once used them as any guide and only know what they are because they are quoted on here. We all believe in the cause, but nothing ever goes straight up, no matter how much sense there is behind the maths. I'd love this to hit 50+ by the end of the month and we may, but I'm happy if it sits around here tbh. And if we drop back, I've got orders at 45, 43 and 41 jsut waiting to be filled.
