they could do worse than invest in Halfords.
Now the stores are opening the drag factor of the motoring side should recede. Bike sales up 57%, electric bike sales up 45%. Motoring side recovering and this was the drag factor to the resuls to April this year, relesed last Tuesday.
Up 4.5%.
All IMHO.

drag factor of the motoring side, highlighted in the results to April this year will be vastly improving with stores now opening. If the motoring side, which was down 45% when the stores were "dark" (people could not go in, but asked for click & collect at the door) recovers, which seems likely clearly the future is bright. Also holidaying in the UK is massively up so camping equipment, trailers and roof racks no doubt are in demand. Then when the UK's S L O W snail pace Government (Grant Shapps needs his head examined, this delay is a dangerous total disgrace IMHO putting peoples lives at risk) legalise electric scooters all the elements will be in place.
All IMHO.

Hello. You said in your last message it was you last one?

Apparently savings are comparatively high at the moment (no way to spend recently.
I suggest they slash VAT for three months.
August 5%, Sept 10%, Oct 15%, back to 20% Nov. Xmass should do the rest.
I reckon i should be PM to be honest.LOL!

now 137p.

sales are 45% up, who's Tredz bike side has sold 87% more BUT the board have emphasised the 45% fall in motoring revenue in LAST YEARS RESULTS. But the lockdown is now over and people are NOW driving again, so this issue is disappearing on a daily basis. The results RNS does say this but in a weak way. With the motoring side ANYWHERE NEAR back to "normal" Halfords will be RAKING IT IN IMHO as the bike sales are booming. Once our snail pace Government legalise electris scooters that too will be a huge benefit.
Sorry for the rant.
All IMHO.

revenue which WAS down -45.4%. WAS DOWN. Since then the lockdown has stopped and people are back at work.
Furthermore there is reason to believe MORE PEOPLE WILL BE DRIVING TO WORK obviously because they want to avoid public transport.
Halfords have all the cards here, it's obvious if you think about it.
As long as the motoring side gets back to what it was Halfords will be RAKING IT IN.
In fact it does not need to get quite back to what it was considering the massive gain on the bikes side.
Note they are charging more for the bikes now I believe, which makes a lot of sense.
Share price is now daft!!!
All IMHO.

let's hope VAT on bikes is reduced or omitted.
If the Government wants people off public transport this would go a long way.

let's hope VAY on bikes is reduced or onitted!!!

on electric scooters and bikes to get the population off public transport, avoid covid and improve the nations fitness. TOTALLY OBVIOUS!!!!
Boris................ GET YOUR FINGER OUT!!!!

on a LFL basis". So thus far THIS financial year things are going rather well with the bike sales side, TO SAY THE LEAST.
All IMHO.

So for the results until 3rd April 2020 bike sales had improved by 2.3% as they say here:-
"Cycling sales grew +2.3%, boosted by our H1 investment in store merchandising and bike ranges, improving both the customer experience and the financial returns of the category."
However for the 13 weeks until 13th July they say this :- "Our Cycling business has performed very strongly throughout the period, up +57.1% on a LFL basis, significantly boosted by the avoidance of public transport, favourable weather conditions and increased adoption of cycling as a health and leisure activity. The easing of the lockdown has led to the gradual reopening of schools and workplaces, and while public transport is avoided and road congestion increases, cycling is becoming an essential way of commuting for many people. For consumers with older bikes, which we estimate could amount to 7m in the UK, servicing and repairs have proved an inexpensive and popular way to reengage in cycling, with cycling service-related revenue up 41.9% on a LFL basis in the 4 weeks to 3 July. Alongside mainstream cycling, our performance cycling business, Tredz, has also traded very strongly, up 87.3% year-on-year on a LFL basis, benefitting from the successful transfer of inventory and customers from our Cycle Republic business, which closed in April.".

And they say this about "unprecedented demand" for bikes:-
"We saw a relatively strong performance in Q1, part of which may have been boosted by a pull-forward in cycling sales given the customer response to lockdown and favourable weather conditions during the period. We believe cycling demand will remain strong throughout the year and we will work hard to supply these unprecedented levels of demand."
Halfords does have a very bright future IMHO. The board have painted a conservative view, even though if you pick through the statements it's pretty obvious things are going in the right direction FAST.
All IMHO.

Something brewing by the looks!

Maybe Pemex will offer their % to PMO for a knockdown price, that we can't afford after the BP mega deal?

Maybe we should have some more builds so the price can go up even more? LOL!
