It's just not good enough! we want more. in the past week; we have 4 broker tips at 50-53p, 2 at 58p, and 1 at 60p. and the SP is at 47p. I can understand why some on this board are not happy
We're in the 47's. Whatever we could, should be in your minds by now, this is a hell of a rise from even just a few months ago. It's holding well after the latest rise, which is pretty much what happened last lime when we broke 40 so just enjoy what you've made so far and wait for the next leg up - it's bound to be on it's way.
Closing yesterday was 6m buy 4m sell, today at 12, 4.5m buy to 1.8m sell. Good news surely, but why isn't the price moving up more?
Hi, Ditto, i am deflated the sp did not rise further, as pix and electroworld are gone subject to union approval, as far as i can see the outstanding issues are: 1. Italian ops poss disposal or restructuring 2. reinstatement of divi 3. bond repayment in 2015 from what i can see they have enough to service the bond so do not know what threats dixons have left, short term wise that are gonna be 60 mill down to get rid of pixmania but this will be offset by losses that will not exist from pix http://www.cityam.com/latest-news/dixons-begins-bond-buyback any views ?
Something is holding this back. Its either that bond, or pix sale not being completed yet, or better deals out there in the market. This should be trading close to 60p after the Pix news. Shame
Hi - to be honest I have to say that I was a wee bit disappointed at the final SP at the close in view of what was a strong day on the overall markets - what say you ? - Cheers - The Kid -
From ADVFN: "Nomura has maintained its 'buy' rating and 60p target price for electrical retailer Dixons, saying that the company's core businesses are undervalued by the market. Alongside its first-quarter results, Dixons announced on Thursday that it was disposing of its Pixmania division and its Turkish arm to focus on its core. The closures costs were a lot less than Nomura had expected. It said: "Italy remains the last 'issue' to resolve, but until a deal can be reached, we note the business was slightly cash generative last year and so, in our opinion, is not a significant concern." "

If we are just going the analysis, the past 12 months, we should of all put our eggs into Thomas Cook if you look at the bigger picture from 2007 its a different story.
Hi All - it's worth remembering that this stock was 13p just 12 months ago - This present SP represents a massive 350% rise since then - Investors need to understand this point and stop banging on about why is this not going up, up and away - to put it simply, it already has done and continues to do so - but it can never just keep flying upwards otherwise we could all be millionaires if it really were that simple - this one is very likely to breach the 50p mark but we will still need to wait a while longer for yet more positive news-flow to pump it up yet further - Cheers - The Kid -
I think i agree with you, although everything is going north today. very strange with the likes of HRG, maybe its going up due to rumours of a buy out, or a part sell off..?
Every few weeks an old Trivial Pursuit injury starts playing up and use that to time my top ups. It flared up yesterday and despite being higher than I'd have wanted to buy any I went with the feeling. There was a 2%+ spike early doors today, and a few secs where it was all over the place. It feels to me like an agreeable close today. All just thoughts on my part - I have no sound knowledge to quote I'm afraid.
Up early..!! Its the early bird, who catches the early worm...lol what have you deduced sir..?
Today, may well be a pleasant day.
morning all - The Kidding Trout -
wonder what we were in June?
June 15th 2012 - Home was at 69.5p Sept 28th 2012 - Home was at 89p
Look at it the correct way. Dixons has more than tripled in price since I first invested here 14 to 46.8. Home retail has only gone from 122 to 159.50. There is no comparison. The same with future share price movements. Where are you going to get Home group doubling in price? They already pay a dividend. Dixons have yet to announce they will be re-instating it. Dixons has the greater potential.
I think the same, Market Capitalisation was 1702.61 at the close of business friday night (6th) The difference between today's sold and bought's was minus 777,249...But no change in the MC..!!!?
With all respect the fact that someone is short on a stock does no necessarily mean that he has to physically buy it back. Do not ignore the potential of the options market where he can offset the position gradually. As to your question about HOME please check carefully the technical analysis on this stock, the retail market outlook and especially the Historic data on the charts over the past 5 years. You would soon realize that the fundamentals are favorable as are about DXNS. Now though you do have a valid point to wonder why we seem to have come to a stop I fully agree. My take on the current situation is that this is possibly a temporary breather and the stock would continue its upward movement in a steady pace. Wishful thinking ? Perhaps, but without any significant question marks overshadowing the stock and provided the overall market holds its level there is no reason other than pure profit taking that would hold its advance higher.
is Home Retail steaming ahead, and we are stationary. Remind me if im mistaken; we sold two failing businesses, posted strong results, and our CEO didnt resign!?
Use this... I made a math error.. 3639610000 shares in issue. 5% of this = 181980500. Hence; 181.9 million shares need to be brought @ this level! (wow thats scarier!)
Dixons Retail: Deutsche Bank shifts target price from 49p to 53p and keeps a buy recommendation.
Fest NV have reduced their short over past 1-2 weeks ... http://www.shorttracker.co.uk/manager/Fest%20N.V/all If they and other shorts close thats approx 5% of shares that need to be bought back: 5% of 1707710000.00 shares in issue = 85385500.00. Hence 85.4 million shares need to be brought back @ this level!
