A tad dull today,. Hopefully tomorrow will be slightly more interesting.

Not long to wait. Due on Tuesday., results known obviously, but a nice juicy forward looking statement and trading update would be lovely.

Stocks marked down across the market. Hopefully recover later in the day.

Just as a quick comparison, yesterdays speculation of French Connection being put up for sale and the SP increase, prompted me to look at their last 6 months results. Their revenue for the half year was HALF of that of FootAsylum, down year on year, and they made a loss of £5.5M for the six months. No real increase in online sales, and dwindling like for like sales in stores, with plans to close more stores in the future. Cash in the bank pretty much the same as FOOT. Market Cap? £50M.

If that doesnt provide a stark contrast and highlight the value in FOOT with its vastly increasing revenues both online and retail stores, £12M positive EBITDA last year and projected £6M this year (lower based on investment in store openings, infrastructure etc), I dont know what does.

Not bad for a £30M company

EBITDA was £12m positive last year and although may have a small minus EBITDA for the last 6 months, this is due to larger investment costs - they still expect to be circa £6m EBITDA positive at the end of the year.

Also that article is full of rather large and significant errors. Not producing positive EBITDA? Erm... I think they are.

"They are all brands I’ve never heard of, and don’t want to hear of again "

"The shop itself is ugly (though I admit to only having visited a rather limited sample of one store)."

Thanks for that insightful titbits

Up she goes again

Me too Piltick. These boards have been full of some rather embarrassing personal vendettas, but pushing that all aside, there is definitely potential as I see it from these levels.

Its looking very good again, like its about to go on another run

Looks like its going to open up 34.5 v 36

Wheres that rumour come from?

The way things are going it could hit 40 today

A positive forward looking statement/trading update in the results in a couple of weeks could light a torch paper.

Book looking loads better. Let's see.

Look at those £15k trades!

Or a big delayed buy

Thanks BT, their linkedin profiles are quite imformative I see. So they opened a new store in Denton last week and upsized a store at the Metro centre two weeks ago, which is double the size of its previous location. And as you say mentions plenty of new stores to come.
