Thank you Ocelot, I understood after research. Ex-Dividends tomorrow, red open, but we can recover during the day session
Just provides an update re their various savings and incentive schemes for the company's employees.
Does anyone understood the second RNS? I'm confused and need help
Good to see the activity back again... May be we will see 78p today if the Buys continue
at 15:01:48
FMR (Fidelity) have dropped their stake from 10.07% to 9.72%.
Closed up 10.4% at 72.00p in 615k shares, quite a turnaround during the session.
Yours looks like a well-timed buy, Majorboy!
Well done, Majorboy!
Showing a small gain on the day now, at 65.40p.
It's true that it had lost about 10p ahead of today's RNS.
Hoping it will do well if and when some of the political uncertainty is removed.
Initial negative impact on the share price, down 10.7% in 69k shares traded.
-- In line with our past experience, consumer demand has weakened further
since the UK General Election was called in late October;
-- In the first eight weeks of the new financial period, retail like-for-like
revenues decreased by 7.2% (2018: decrease of 1.9%);
-- A reduction in political uncertainty will be key to the short term outlook
improving.
Difficult start to the new year, politics weighing heavily on performance.
People worry about the impact on the economy of a Corbyn government, but the impact of all of these years of political uncertainty has already been very considerable.
given the announced departure of the company's longstanding (12 years) CEO.
I was expecting TPT to rise as the possibility of a no-deal Brexit became more remote, the Pru's selling may explain why TPT didn't participate in the bounce about a week ago.
Best wishes to you, too, Majorboy.
250k share buy at 75.00p.
holding down to zero from 5.06% and the share price is slightly up.
Today's best trade: 615,950 at 69.20p (at 15:17).
Majorboy,
I sincerely hope you don't get your buy-in price, because I'm hoping it has a long way to go, up!
But GL all the same.
And another 737,958.
Looks as if the prospect of a deal with the EU is stimulating buying interest in TPT.
another 1,333,187 at 70.00p in 3 trades.
.
Adjusted revenues(1) for the 52 week period are expected to be in the region of GBP214 million (2018: GBP214.8 million). Like-for-like revenues in the 52 weeks were ahead by 0.6% when compared to the prior year (2018: LFL flat).
Trading over the fourth quarter reflected a more challenging economic backdrop, with uncertainty impacting on consumer sentiment and like-for-like sales decreased by 1.9%.
----
Q4 sales performance not unexpected, given the state of the economy at the present time.
Should the UK ever achieve a satisfactory solution to Brexit (ie, any solution except no-deal), then TPT's share price should enjoy a very healthy recovery.
£ closed yesterday at $1.25018, so the currency market has begun to anticipate a deal with the EU (or, at least, the absence of a no-deal).
UK domestically-orientated stocks (FTSE 250, etc) have a long way to rise should the currency market prove to be right.
I see that Bathstore has been saved by Homebase which has been saved by US private equity outfit Hilco. Many of Bathstores outlets will close however. I doubt if this will benefit TPT however.
At the moment I've no stake in TPT but it is on the radar.
Rumour has it that some more unprofitable stores closures are on the cards. Any confirmation?
PS: in a less depressed market for domestically-orientated stocks, think TPT would merit a multiple of about 15x, to put the share price on about 100p.
