Week Ahead: Big week for clothing retailers

Fri, 08th Jul 2011 07:57

The second full week of July has a clothing theme with clothing outfits as diverse as Marks and Spencer, ASOS, Supergroup, Burberry and Associated British Foods (owner of Primark), all giving updates.As broker Matrix Group observes, the insipid share price performance of Marks & Spencer (M&S) of late suggests that the market is expecting "a stinker of an update" but Matrix is of a more optimistic frame of mind; so optimistic, in fact, that it recently upgraded the shares from "hold" to "buy"."We forecast flat general merchandise LFL [like-for-like] sales and 3.0% food sales growth for Q1 [first quarter]," Matrix said. "The general merchandise number is likely to be a substantial improvement on the 3.9% decline reported in Q4, we believe. Our food sales growth forecast is supported by monthly Kantar food retail market share data. Like Debenhams and John Lewis, M&S has begun its summer sales early this year, so there is a slight risk of increased margin pressure from higher-than-expected markdowns, but as with Debenhams, we expect to come out of the Q1 announcement with our full-year forecasts intact, even if the manner of reaching them shifts from margin to top line," the broker added.Monday July 11QUARTERLY PAYMENT DATEAfrica Opportunity Fund Ltd.FINALSBglobal, Invista Foundation Property Trust Ltd.SPECIAL DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATECapital Gearing TrustEGMSBank of IrelandAGMSRGI International Ltd.TRADING ANNOUNCEMENTSMichael Page International, XP Power Ltd.
