3300, Hey, small world. Good to see you.
My opinion on MTC fwiw. More by happenstance than design, this outfit has found itself in the enviable position of controlling the master licence worldwide for a brand that is still sought after and much respected overseas, but without any of the risk or cost of being the actual retailer that they were best known for in the UK. Bearing in mind pre virus Global was returning annual profits c£25m, it's not hard to see why this will attract attention from some powerful players (NXT) rather than bottom fishers (BOO, Hilco etc) once the sign out clause with the UK Administrator's ends in November. Can see a take out price itro 100-125 million (4-5x p/e on recovery) being achievable against current market val of £35.5m. Usual caveats apply, def not for the faint hearted. Solid CEO appointment key now to efficient delivery. Jtini
I think some of the big boys have taken notice, there were some massive buys in the beginning of the month. The trend of the sp is going up, now with the new franchises starting to kick in, It was also encouraging yesterday that they intended to expand this models into more countries.
that this still under the radar
This company has turned a profit from been 97 mill down...in a fiscal year with covid
This can go only grow this next year ...and see the bottom line much much higher than previous years because the over heads of retail premises gone.
Its a win win with franchise partners
Still no luck...
Oops, I meant that reply for raddy47
Try now , if you haven't already.
There's the end of day move up
Why is this so difficult to sell? can only sell £100 worth?
Mothercare has massive global outlets and isn't dependent on Boots...its just a bonus
Should bounce now?
who's left holding the baby then?
Beyond belief.....blooomin crooks
Agree... let's see what Mothercare brings in the near future reference supply chain orders and retail turnover over the coming challenging months ahead. Mothercare may use merchandisers or staff to implement key city centre stores with Boots approval, I'm sure they will want maximum impact? For MTC overcoming the product challenges, increasing customer awareness/market share and then I'm sure the biggest word will be profit. Not easy in the short term and I really do feel for the retail industry and especially the staff at the moment. Everyone needs Baby products... route to purchase either on-line or in bricks and mortar stores.
Lets see.

The visual branding in the picture may look aspirational however the reality could well be different. The vast majority of staff who are currently dedicated to running the clothing in boots are being made redundant in the next few weeks. Leaving the already reduced headcount of generalist boots staff to pick up the pieces and launch mothercare, effectively starting from scratch . Mothercare will of course make their cut at the point of supply to boots , but it's just a question of how much stock Boots will be able to get through the tills if it is poorly handled. Will be interesting to see how it lands!!
That's just what we needed a business update and note the visual branding in-store :) Now we will see what Mothercare brings in the near future reference supply chain orders and retail turnover over the coming challenging months ahead.

Big turn around story happening here
Showing +20, 30 or 40% on the leaderboard will get attention. Hopefully now properly on the way to recovery. The tie in with Boots will get parents in, just need the CEO to be announced. GLA.:-)
Saw the rns first thing....even at 9p a share MCAP I thought was a bit high...around 35M...so left it...looked back at SP was 12p....hahaha...Hopefully will continue rising throughout day and coming days and weeks
Its the bottom line that counts....
a massive turn around and feel big boys will look at it now
Yes...indeed...have to admit...patience is not one of my virtues.....:-((
Flipping brill.
Well done to all of us who's waited n waited n waited
100% today...
Happy with this, a net profit gain of 14.4m compared to the 96m loss year on year thanks to the removal of the uk business as Jontaylor well said taking away the ball and chain legacy and now with a great franchise launching today with Boots. Revenue is down 18% but that is no surprise due to the pandemic. Bright future ahead for MTC. GLA
