Profits slump at John Lewis By Michael Millar Date: Wednesday 14 Sep 2011 LONDON (ShareCast) - High street bellwether John Lewis reported a sharp drop in profits after six months of "extremely challenging trading conditions". Across the group, first-half pre-tax profits fell by 18% to £90.4m. The Partnership, which is owned by its 76,500 staff, reported a 55% fall in operating profits at its department stores to £15.8m, despite a 1% increase in like-for-like sales in the six months to 30 July. It said its "never knowingly undersold" promise had meant heavy discounting to match rivals. Investment in new stores also hit profits. The Waitrose supermarket arm reported sales up 8.7% to £2.6bn, but profits dropped by 13.8% to £110.2m, with the firm saying it had absorbed the majority of inflation within its prices. However, it said compared to last year, 300,000 more customers shopped at Waitrose each week and its market share had increased by 0.2% to 4.1%.

John Lewis announced its latest weekly figures. The department store's sales were nearly 3.8 per cent below the same period a year ago, or 5.7 per cent without VAT, and Howard Archer, of IHS Global Insight, said the data was "particularly significant as John Lewis has been very much an out-performer in the retail sector."
i have herd of waitrose moving into selected boots stores any comments
it's quiet here......
anybody else looking at this? seems to have bottomed out, and seems likely to give a good return longterm based on current and existing sales/overhead projections
This company manufactures and fits top of the range kitchens. I bought one and they are very good they have a unique worksurface called "Fusion" which can only be installed by their team. They sell directly to the public via their several showrooms in London and the home counties. They have a good marketing team but query whether they can survive the stagnant property market? I do not intend to be a shareholder.
Soooooooo PAINFUL!! Will this company ever even reach a penny!!
Will this share price ever do anything - ever?!?
Think I need to book a day off work and free up some time to do some digging into a few companies. Thanks for the advice :0)
this company is mainly retail goods, we all know how the high street is doing at the moment, these should drop to around the 0.30 mark within the next two months so it would be wise to wait until then. but as always DYOR. gl
Ahh, yes of course. I too would like to know more about this company as I am very tempted to buy. Can't really find anything on google
means price change is 0% I think. Anyone looked at this company? I am very keen to buy in...
Thanks. Do you know what the yellow dot means underneath the watchlist at the top of the page?
I'm fairly new to all this too,Iv'e found It's a good idea to read through previous posts to get the general gist of a peoples thoughts on a company then google it for more information or any terms you don't understand. You will often see DYOR on the boards, it's not a share it means do your own research which is always a good idea. Good Luck ;0)
Can anybody tell me what this company does and why they think it is worth investing in? Sorry but I am new to all this
this company has been giving out alot of good news lately, i know for a fact that it will reach 1.5 p in no time. hope it does
Excellent progress over one year. The Story is illustrated on the 5 year Graph. Quality products for a wealthy clientel in poncy areas. I think this is a good long term investment for the patient. ( Not to be confused with the John Lewis High Street Group! ) http://www.investegate.co.uk/Article.aspx?id=200801071041181864L
