I think you're referring to a post last week where someone who didn't understand share consolidation mentioned it and thought that for example a 2:1 consolidation would automatically halve your money in the co. overnight.
That being said they never tend to work well longer term, no.
The shares in issue is tiny comparatively to a lot of AIM so yes, any significant news and/or buying and this will be off like a shot.
Agreed a decent sized contract is required shortly to arrest cash burn. I'm sat at a 23p average, not insurmountable to recover at current levels but beginning to approach write-off level.
It'll keep dropping slowly through the summer unless anything dramatic happens, then rise in anticipation of flow testing. Bottom drawer over the summer, or sell and try and call a bottom to get back in with an increased holding if you have the appetite for that risk.
Ref 0738 - agreed, negative public reaction and perception to what is deemed excess profit is something that really hurts this business give it's level of competition and predominantly UK-based business.
Not akin to say a BP. that can squeeze every last £ out of its profits due to its global reach and lack of competitors.
I feel this is the reason TSCO prefer to put away some profit in buybacks and the like.
I'd disagree with the led rather than leading statement there, most other retailers are scrambling to set up members-only discounts well after TSCO, SBRY being the latest to launch an initiative.
On the whole less innovative? I'd go yes but it's rapidly becoming a very crowded market.
I support their seemingly new approach to IR.. they did for very long periods maintain radio silence, with an inevitable slow drop in SP as investors lose faith or no-trade days start to come to the fore.
It's not going to hurt to throw a few extra RNS in the mix, including bigger ones about contracts, sales and earnings. How many AIM firms inflate their mCap to obscene levels with nothing more than fluff in their RNS's? ENET potentially have something tangible if they play their cards right.
Not a blockbuster but seems to be showing steady progress and also looking for extra opportunities.
My understanding is that those share options are issued by the company on the taking on of a saye contract? Ie taking out £x per month for y number of shares, which Tesco then issues y number of options to that colleague? Hence not bought on open market only sold. I do stand to be corrected on that.
It was from days ago that recall.
Re the media it doesn't just seem to be tsco but almost any large British company. Yet they love and admire companies from the US and Europe. It's like a form of self-loathing by them, which arguably holds Britain back at times.
