It looks to me that the bod’s are making all the right moves to change the business
They have had NO problem borrowing another £51m to buy more hotels from the banks who must still think they are very safe to lend to, and as it says below will open 20 this summer
"We've made further good progress in transforming our business with a rigorous focus on managing our cost base while innovating to deliver high-quality holidays for our customers. Our strategic alliance with Expedia is now live in all our key markets. In addition, we are set to open 20 new own brand hotels this summer, including three Casa Cooks and eight Cook's Clubs, and have announced two new hotel projects with Fosun in China.

We are today announcing a strategic review of our Group Airline. We are at an early stage in this review process which will consider all options to enhance value to shareholders and intensify our strategic focus. We will provide an update on this process in due course."
So if they sell off some assets they will dramatically cut their debt. And this sp will go back up to 80p ish

Never you mind. !!!!!

So it looks like Debs will be getting a lot more of their own label stock from Li Fung and should be able to either sell more products at a lower shelf price or make high margins all all those products in the future.
Now if Debs 's future looks much better does this mean MA would still want to buy them, in which case the price must be more like 35p - 50p a share.

Well that's great news and NOT going into admin like many kept saying.
Funny thing is that all the time Debs was thought to be going under the BBC and the Mail couldn't put out enough bad press , but now will they be plashing all their papers / boards with this great news that Debs will be around for years to come, and making profit. !!!!!!!!!!!

82p ?
Very strange in that only last week D Bank price target was £1.73 and RBS was £1.25.
Who knows what's going on.

But the fat lady has been singing her heart out with all the windows open for the last few weeks.
You need to replace your batteries in your hearing aid.

It's monday and not the end of the world. let's be positive about something.

But the real question is JUST WHY are you here when your not even invested in Debs.
You seem to be spouting the same old problems all over the property company post boards, and I see you are doing the same thing again on cwd who have alreadytaken the action needed to get them through these times.
Just give it a rest, no one cares.

So what is the fake news going round.
Your 's that you have been spouting on about for months or the post I have just put up?

Can see Dunstone buying more at this price

My divi was paid on Friday by Interactive, now ready to invest back in.

How things have changed,
There are rumours going round that many Debs landlords are actively approaching debs head office to offer much lower rents for their stores as they are desperate to keep as many high street stores open as possible and keep their rent money coming in.
There are so many of these landlords approaching debs to make offers that it will take a little longer to come to the agreements needed, because without such offers some / many of these landlords could go under.

So what are you saying, it's NO longer safe to travel to many parts of Cameroon OR invest in Companies in Cameroon., as you could lose your shirt of your back and your life. !!!!!
Trouble is that advice is a little late for some investors in some oil & gas companies.

They are currently involved in disussions about new bank lending, why should there be any problems with the banks.
OK I think it's agreed that they haven't sold their Danish business yet and maybe keeping it in hand to support any new bank agreements, but if the banks decide to decline or not offer good enough terms for the next 5 years or so then surely Debs then decide to sell the danish business for what about £200m to cover their debt.
So I see no real problem here it just takes time to sort out all the little details.

These are other articles done by Hannah, and has to wonder sometimes are reporters like these reporting ot trying to make news, and do they have any share interests at all in some of the companies they put out.

Debenhams rocked by the collapse of Patisserie Valerie as cafe chain closes outlets at the department storeByHannah Uttley For The Daily Mail Published: 16:53 EST, 23 January 2019 | Updated: 16:53 EST, 23 January 2019The collapse of Patisserie Valerie has dealt a fresh blow to Debenhams as the cafe chain closed outlets at the department store.

It makes you want to blow your brains out: Mike Ashley's furious rant as Debenhams refuses his £40m loanByHannah Uttley For The Daily Mail Published: 16:50 EST, 13 December 2018 | Updated: 16:50 EST, 13 December 2018Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley has attacked Debenhams after the struggling department store refused to accept a £40million loan from him. He is furious after he was forced to drastically cut the value of his near 30 per cent stake in Debenhams, wiping £150million from his fortune.

Buys were last done in Aug 2017, now that says a lot doesn't it. very little faith in the company I wonder why?

I think we can all understand tcg moving to buy their own hotels, although this first means taking more loans it also mean that they then don't have to pay out to the hotle chains and all the money they charge for the holidays will be kept by tcg and then the profits start to mount.
The big question is just how long do they need to survive the current problems and higher costs until they get to that stage.
Then they will be more like TUI with all their hotel chains.

Anyone else with interactive and had payment ?

I would imagine there will be a few re- investing once the money is paid into our accounts, but as of 7.40 am today it's not yet in mine.
We could miss any rise if we have to wait until later today.

Going by the rns up until Dec 2018 they have £1.588m debt but they have also just taken out another loan of £51m for the hotel deal, so as well as a trading loss increase they have evn more debt. can't see the sp holding up for long.
