At what point will these numbers turn into a profit for FCH? Forecasts are still for further losses in next two years of over £100m

I dont think they will know something as an "inside" job of really bad news but expect the following at play they expect lower sales growth (following on from the poor interim results) based on very poor film releases, higher costs of refurbishments for Regal sites and a massive debt. It could create a 'perfect storm' that drops the SP further this could be the thinking but who knows. The bull case looks to be how much the new subscriptions will off-set the poor film releases, am sure long term this will be fine but could see shorter term pain.

Think that's fair on the dividends they have been very nice!
Still unsure on ticket sales yes not a disaster but its not growth so i would expect a bit of mixed bag update at the next one.
Its interesting the over 10% shorts and what they expect most times shorts that high the funds appear to be expecting something pretty bad rather than just running part of long/short portfolio.

Shorts over 10% now on short tracker.
I sold out several mths ago when price started to drop and came out with poor update but always thought would buy back in, starting to have doubts now.
The film schedule this year was been rubbish (bar the joker) so are the shorts expecting a very poor update next with the huge debt of taking over Regal would send this down possibly 15-20% from here.

Its not really a great RNS its a RNS-Reach which means its not material to the company 'yet', so unlikely to trigger re-rate.

Before results it was highly rated and some of the statements in the 'trading' paragraph seemed to indicate a strong 2018 but i felt had a 'tone' that 2018 may have been a stronger than normal year. Shares are now trading on a P/E of around 21 (compared with 30 pre results), i was stopped out but i think at this price are possible good value and strong trading update would see these above £10 again

If you are new to trading i would recommend heading over to StockOpedia, Paul Scott and Graham Neary do Small Cap report (its free) and they review shares in the small cap world.

Good luck to all but looks a gamble its temping with such a drop and cash in the bank but the issue for me was the margins. It was on my watchlist for ages but didnt like the how the sector was developing, in the domestic side felt several companys offering 'cheaper' gs/elec have disapeared from the market. Poor margin was also a factor and for me thats what stood out in the RNS, accounting issues can be fixed but the 'significant reduction to gross margin in 2018 and beyond' its going be much harder to grow profits. Gross margin was 16.2% at half-year report, so a 'significant' reduction sub 10% which with competitive pressures increasing are they going to see any future profits?

Could be trade situation but its uninvestable as anything else at this stage for me

Its pretty much the whole of AIM is tanking doubt its anything to do with IOM just the market.

Dont think this was a great update retail sites still falling etc online sales are up but is this due to the discounting on the site. Its the effect on profit and margin that seems more key rather than just increasing sales online. Interesting watching Carpetright who are close to agreeing a a CVA plus equity raise as MTC may go the same way.

Is anyone really going to bid for this its still valued at �29m with �50m in debt, �80m pension fund deficit and declining sales. Thought someone was selling prob last of the investors getting out while they can! If no futher funding (either bank or RI) is agree can see this in administration were the 'Mothercare' brand survives online only. Q4 trading statement is scheduled for 12th April could be sooner at this rate.

Tough RNS remained broadly in line = a miss in some areas could easily become further profit warning Possible breach of banking convents and at its limits, this is not going to be good get out while you can can see this 10p and below!

Looks like big sells today i was stopped out several days ago thankfully, apart from the selling this looked attractive share with growing business.

Looks like when SP drops to 900 and less RPC will start to purchase its own shares.

This is a common issue with LSE and RNSs not showing!!!

Forget that question looks like 45p

This looks good to me as well, do you know the float price?

Would have been better if they provided more information revenue/profits hoping for good numbers September

AIM shares with no news are always going to be volatile was disappointing down 9% y/d but today appears to be recovering the drop! Really hope we have some news on sales soon and the CE mark as that will push the shares up past 20p

Was expecting a drop back to around 450 did not realise went back to 440 i would have brought back in at that price seems to be rallying back up now!

Seems to be trading a range between 295 and 350 approx has been since last year. If follows trend should see it get back up to 330 fairly soon (Hopefully)

Be nice if LSE RNSs was working correctly so others had been informed!
