@csdi1962, you miss understand although you’re nearly there my exposure is obscene but it’s not indecent behaviour it’s an obscene amount of money.

Not messing about with 3 or 6% but fully loaded as in 100%

All in so here’s to Monday for the little weeners and the big ones.

Just for the record I am fully exposed also.

Good luck y’al

I hope the buy sell ratio today is merely a fund playing safe.

I take some comfort in that the results were rescheduled to a Monday as it suggests that there is no fear of market exposure.
If there was a fear the rescheduling would have been to a Friday.

A few buys of 25k shares also going through.

Broker Berenberg has initiated coverage on Boohoo (BOO) positively but says the online fashion retailer is ‘not for the faint-hearted’.

Analyst Michael Benedict initiated coverage on the stock with a ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 460p, providing 45% upside to the current share price.

‘Boohoo has derated dramatically in comparison with peers since reports of failings in its Leicester supply chain in July 2020,’ he said.

‘However, the group has begun to make changes to the working practices in its supply chains… Importantly, we think it can make these changes while maintaining its sector-leading growth and margin profile.’

The shares closed up 2.8%, or 8.7p, at 325p on Monday.

A 36-year run of profitability at Greggs (GRG) has fallen by the wayside but AJ Bell says its management have demonstrated long-term vision.

The group swung to a loss last year for the first time in its history as the pandemic took its toll. But the platform’s investment director Russ Mould said Greggs’ response to the outbreak has been ‘anything but knee-jerk’ and management have demonstrated ‘an ability to take a longer-term view by opening 84 stores’ as well as committing to open 100 more this year.

‘The breadth and diversity of the company’s estate as well as a strong balance sheet has shielded it from the worst of the coronavirus impact,’ said Mould.

‘It is also testament to the resilience of the company’s model that it has made a better-than-expected start to 2021 despite the persistence of lockdown conditions across the UK.’

However, he added that unless commuting returns to normal levels ‘then the business, for all its innovations around delivery and click and collect, will struggle to offset a drop in footfall’.

The shares closed up 3.1%, or 68p, at £22.78 on Tuesday.

Berenberg has initiated coverage on B&M European Value Retail (BME) and believes investors have the chance to ‘grab a bargain’ as shares in the discount retailer have pulled back.

Analyst Thomas Davies initiated coverage with a ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 600p on the stock, which closed up 1.3%, or 7p, at 541p on Tuesday.

The shares are still some way off their 601p peak on 17 February.

Davies said the company had been a ‘Covid-19 beneficiary’ and he believes the ‘group will be a post-Covid-19 winner too’.

‘B&M offers one of the strongest top-line growth and return on invested capital profiles in European retail, and its cash-generative business should support additional capital returns,’ said Davies.

‘We believe the recent share price pullback has provided an attractive entry point into a structural winner. The next catalyst is the full year results on 28 May.’

Mercantile (MRC) manager Guy Anderson believes Dunelm (DNLM) will be a winner from the Covid-19 pandemic despite its homeware stores being closed during lockdown.

The manager of the £2.4bn investment trust said post-pandemic he was backing companies that can take market share and that within retail there would continue to be ‘winners and losers because of the rapid evolution of the sector’.

Anderson said Dunelm was in a ‘fantastic position’ thanks to its investment in online channels.

‘Over the last couple of years it has revamped its proposition and it has delivered a huge acceleration in growth,’ said Anderson. ‘It has clearly benefited through the pandemic as consumers spent more on homeware.’

The manager said there could be a fall in spending on the home as consumers are ‘released from house arrest’, but its online sales mean Dunelm has gathered more information on its new clientele and the company ‘should be able to retain these customers’.

Shares in Dunelm closed up 4%, or 52p, at £13.57 on Tuesday.
