Will we be offered the chance to treat any proceeds as Capital, this time?
An additional dividend is penal for those with other dividend income who may exceed the tax free allowance.
It's a real mistake when a choice is not offered.
I would never for one moment think I could run a FTSE company but have worked for one, sold a business to one and seen it close up. Thanks for the ****y reply and I think I'll leave it there to allow you to carry on your daily work...
Just visited this site to get a handle on Reid. Have to say I would prefer two hands.
This is a classic case of an Accountant being a CEO. The wrong type to lead a Company I'm afraid.
This business is in massive decline and failed in emerging markets and the share price has been abysmal over the last few years.
Thanks Reidy for all that and I'm an Accountant, too!
British Gas has had similar leadership issues..
Companies need a strong entrepreneur who can grow a business with a strong FD keeping him in check.
I never understood why the rebranding to Jack's for the price war. They have enough buying power to affect prices anyway. Only reason can be if they just wanted local flexibility rather than national. Anyway, it was a waste of shareholders money again..
The proceeds are dividend only. You can't treat them as Capital receipts. I am disappointed that Tsco didn't offer a choice of treatment as it would have been useful to use the CGT exemption rather than paying Income tax on some of the dividend .
God I hate this share.
It never holds up whenever there is good news. They seem to create bad press with holiday issues usually not of their own making. They have waivered with the airline section. Gearing is coming down but the PE is enormous compared to TUI.
Now after a great UK summer, the margins and volume has disappeared again in 2018.
I will be out at the earliest and never return.
I also holiday with Jet2 now as they are better.
I agree. Can't for the life of me see why they have created a downmarket brand. Yes, they may have mothballed stores and want to generate revenue. But it can only drive down the main brand and reduce footfall before the customers go back to Aldi / Lidl. Those 2 are improving store and product qualities not the other way round.
A real shot in the foot - prove me wrong Dave..
Booker impact upon results will hopefully boost the SP..
For me, its a great disappointment as I saw CW as the driving force for the UK retail business. I backed him at Booker and was pleased that he came on board. TSCO for me are recovering well and grabbing back market share. The Aldi/Lidl market share is still growing, albeit slowly now, but they show a lot of initiative in selling car engines next to fruit and veg. Always something new. They have even stolen a march on UK supermarkets by shutting early on Sunday if England reach the final. Though they shut at 4 anyway.
I will wait for TSCo to recover further and trust that the Booker integration will improve buying power and hence assist market share growth. Sainsbury/ASDA also has similar buying power but will wait and see how Walmart influence the new outlets.
I have confidence in the next few years in this team but it does disturb me that every piece of clothing we buy these days varies in size so much - even from the same retailer. What happened to the old M&S quality control?? They did push UK suppliers VERY hard back in the 70's, 80's and 90's and it didn't strengthen the Textile Industry in the UK in the end. Cheap labour was always going to win and did. But they can still make similar demands on foreign suppliers - the suits are very poor by the way.. Rant over
Doesn't seem to have been such an easy ride with local competition appearing. I am not sure about this share anymore..
Very limited, I suppose as we have all found out sine the Terry Leahy departure.. Just have a feeling that the Booker deal will help margins overall and strengthen the business. Offering extra space to Next et al will help footfall and improve site costs but may also affect TSCO's own product range. The Argos deal at Sanisbury was a better fit, for me. Anyway, time to improve liquidity and strengthen the Balance Sheet. This seems to be working.
Couldn't agree more with the comments about the high P/E but the Amazon point is well made. For me, I am still here from about 400p and wondering where the new growth is to come from. India / China, I suppose.. Not wanting to miss out on further growth but don't see it as a buy opportunity now. Just a question of hold and watch. Any bad news will have a domino effect - that's the worry.
So is that the end of a possible buyout of TCG by FOSUN then? Or does it provide some optimism for both the trade connection and future growth with the Chinese consumer?
Anyone know if shareholders can get a Jet2 discount on holidays or flights? Thanks
I am still in with this one. As long as Kate Swann is running it. reported delays at many airports is good news for the SSP operation. Has not recovered yet from XD but I am sure there will be further good news next time around.
Yes I agree. I got back in again some time ago as I have every confidence in Ms Swann and the traffic volumes at airports. Only observation is that people have a little less time available with increased security checks which may impact upon their food choices.
