I think more chance of a profit warning than a surge. Be interesting to see what AO report this week.

Don't forget Best buy once bought into cpw and that went pear shaped thwy lost a fortune on that deal. Same with Dixon's they don't understand the business. Gl to you all ??

I agree it's the margin that's crucial
They have never made a lot of money from mobile sales they made it in the bonus payment s from the networks. They have to hit these payments or they don't have a business. As it gets tougher they are throwing money at deals losing more each time in the hope the numbers will turn it round. If they don't hit the numbers it's game over. The network s will be thinking it's time we don't need them now we have our own stores. Through in the rise of Tesco virgin sky mobiles which Dixon's just let happen spells trouble and that's what you see in the share price. I can see them pulling out of mobiles completely

Not sure if it's priced in or this is why it's dropped, the CMA have recommended mobile networks can't charge people full price once there contract has been paid off. This will have a negative effect on Cpw side of the business. Through there own networks but also the main networks won't pay them as much commission.

I take your point on the 10 per cent rise. Just be careful with this one long term don't see it

Yes mate I will post certainly I hope for you all it goes up. Click 9 10 11 pages back you will see what I said back thrn my username was slightly different. I have bought and shorted this share last 3 years every xmas is the best time to short it. Wish you all the best seriously I no holding in company since Wednesday. They talk it up all the time the board etc but nothing comes true.

No not at all I got out but lost a bit on it used be five quid a share and everyone was bullish.

160 this will never hit 160 again. Still in talks with EE terms will be worse than before.as soon as these talks are over shops will close. Shops on a lfl basis must be down. Carphone Is finished

To be fair they do have some of the best deals on the high Street but they are loss leaders so they can say to the netwoks look how many people buy through us and do they can hit there bonus targets. The network s have wised up to it no one at cpw knows the business so they running round in circles. Chase the bonus but then threaten the network s saying we want better terms and the network just turn round and say no. They then put cheap deals on line to chase the bonus. However it stops people going into stores it's a basket case. You never see market share on phones they aren't in the figured they never show how many contracs they have sold more than last year.

True and they keep saying lfl sales are up my local shop over the last 2 years is about 30 percant down. Accounting issue someone should get investigated it's a disgrace

O and mobile is being run by people who don't understand it so they need to pick it up quickly

I don't believe everything he said makes out no shops will close. That's where the cost savings are coming from he won't say it while he in talks with EE. Revenue will be up everyone buys expensive sim free phones but no profit in them. Just papering over the problems. Market share my ass who tells the truth. John Lewis increase market share ao increase market share the supermarket s Argos increase market share. From who ! No way out for this I fear. Yes staff have been giving shares but they have stay 3 years it's so they don't leave

Have a look at the article over the weekend looks like more shops will close. In tough talks with EE etc this is the problem they come up with ideas around shops on board ships give staff I pads etc but fundamentally the business has lost it's way.

New figures out start of dec, Alex will make sure they sound good as they are his first ones but cant see this share turning round. CPW finished, on the front page of the bbc website yesterday. They have got rid of some deadwood but so many good staff have gone they are lost. Dixons side are losing it as well with internet etc and paying staff poor wages they get poor staff. Service is poor just be carefull with these figures. GLA
