Wtf?

The best window for a company announcement to reach total exposure to all corners of the market is at 7:00am on Monday

Shares on the major European stock market indexes jumped in the premarket ahead of the week's first trading session after the major networks announced that Joe Biden has won the presidential elections in the United States. The Democrat is on his way to become the 46th president of the US, while reports emerged claiming that sitting President Donald Trump plans to contest the results through legal action.

The investors will also keep an eye on the data to be revealed later in the day, as Germany is scheduled to publish its report on the country's trade balance before Monday session's opening bell, while the Eurozone Sentix investor confidence index figure will come out after the session's start.

The Dax jumped 1.66% or 206 points at 7:22 am CET, while the FTSE 100 followed suit, gaining 1.25% at the same time. A minute later, the euro advanced slightly against the dollar, rising 0.07% to sell for 1.18871, while the pound strengthened 0.18% versus the greenback, changing hands at 1.31758.

Yehaa the FTSE is up 1.25% and gold is trading circa $1960.00

Autonomy1 the only other thing I could have added is at £1.25/30 an investment is relatively safe because of the value of the mine, nil debt and $345m in cash.
So unless a 3rd world war kicks off in Egypt it is unlikely that the share price will go below £1.25

Hello AKGold this broker recommendation is dated 19th of May but it gives a fair account of reality.
I’ve noticed lately that the spread has narrowed and the price isn’t swinging about so much, as this woman says buy in dips and the recovery is going to be bumpy.

Jefferies expects Superdry turnaround in 2022

The turnaround at fashion brand Superdry (SDRY) will be ‘bumpy’ but Jefferies says it has appealing rewards.

Analyst Caroline Gulliver reiterated her ‘buy’ recommendation but reduced her target price from 300p to 230p. The shares rose 1.5% to 118.3p yesterday.

Despite store closures from the Covid-19 pandemic coming on top of January’s profit warning, Gulliver said ‘the current market capitalisation of under £100m and enterprise value of under £60m, undervalues Superdry’s potential’.

She is forecasting a loss of £31m this year and £12m next year but said expects ‘Superdry to live to fight another day, with improved product ranges and social media campaigns’.

‘As stores start to reopen across Europe, Superdry’s recent update strikes a positive tone as the cash burn has been limited to only £1m to £2m a week during lockdown,’ she said.

‘We do not expect a recovery until 2022 but trading on only 4.1 times our calculated 2021 earnings per share, we reiterate our “buy”.’

Autonomy1 of course the price depends on the outcome of everything.
All we have is “in all probability” that’s why the price is discounted.

I wonder will Standard Life Aberdeen now “disinvest” itself of the 14 firms being quizzed over Uyghur slave labour links by the Commons Select Committee

Called to give evidence include:

Gap, Ikea, Zara and M&S.
Adidas, Nike and Puma, as well as upmarket brands Victoria’s Secret, Stella McCartney and the North Face Tiktok and the Walt Disney.

I also see that SLA only sold “almost all” of their holding in Boohoo.
How is this strategy to be understood?

I’d like to see the company report that explains it.

Surely the company policy has to be clean cut if the company takes such moral action.
Either your running with the wolves or your not.

BOO stock started 2020 around 300p. By mid-March, it was below 160p. To the delight of investors, the shares went over 400p in early July. However, then came newspaper headlines about the working conditions at some of its UK-based suppliers, where workers were allegedly paid less than the legal minimum wage.
Investors were not forgiving. By mid-July, the shares tanked to 210p. Since then, management has commissioned an independent inquiry. The company has also said it would take a more proactive role in managing the supply chain.
In late September, the group announced trading results for the six months ended Aug. 31. The retailer saw a 45% in revenue and a 51% increase in pre-tax profit, which meant shoppers were not overly concerned about the adverse news headlines. Management also raised full-year guidance.
We regard corporate governance issues in public companies to be of the utmost importance. However, Boohoo's management will likely do its best to avoid such a compromising situation again. Therefore, we are cautiously optimistic about the stock for the rest of the year. Long-term investors may consider buying the dips

A dilemma for these pandemic times is the belief that M&S doesn’t really do casual clothes.

Who is going to spend money replacing garb for the office when spending more time in jeans and sweaters in front of a PC?

Formal occasions will be off-limits until 2021 at best. Management believes demand for more formal clothes will return, although I am with critics who say the leisure offering needs to improve.

Meanwhile, Boohoo (LSE:BOO) brushed aside the April/May lockdown as a highly adept online fashion retailer, and is expected to post earnings per share (EPS) up at least 50% in its year to end-February 2021.

M&S does appear to be making great efforts towards “a fully integrated online, digital and data division, as a step change, with a three-year target to achieve an online sales mix of at least 40%.

High street retailers will be struck by the lockdown, and it would hit hard if it is extended towards Christmas. Pure online retailers ASOS (LSE:ASC) and Boohoo (LSE:BOO) should do much better, and there could be longer-term benefits if they recruit and retain additional customers that would normally have shopped in the high street.

The stock reaction to the gold price is limping because the market is waiting on a mine assent report due in early December.
In my opinion this is an excellent investment opportunity because the discounted price won’t remain for long.

I think part of the brand resurgence is using young and trendy people as influencer’s, which others than the targeted don’t recognise or identify with.

Fair enough Pmoran1969 the affected though is weakening as can be seen by the current market reaction.

I disagree with your point that Boohoo has been targeted in this article. I think Boohoo’s comments are clearly and fairly reported.

“The Times
Leading brands including Nike and Boohoo have denied using suppliers from the Xinjiang region of China where Uighur Muslims are alleged to have been put into forced labour.
The fashion companies said that they were “shocked” at reports that products involving Uighur slave labour could be sold to UK consumers.

Andrew Reaney, group director of responsible sourcing at Boohoo, told MPs at the business select committee that the online retailer does “not knowingly source any yarn or fabric” from the region in northwest China where reports claim that hundreds of thousands of Uighurs have been interned.

He said: “We wrote to all our suppliers across the supply chain to confirm that we have no manufacturing or fabric links to that particular region.”

European stocks were lower in premarket trading as the number of COVID-19 cases on the continent continued to jump, with Germany recording a new daily high of over 21,500 in infections. Meanwhile, the earnings season continued as Allianz posted its quarterly results.

The DAX decreased by 0.58% at 8:01 am CET and the FTSE 100 was 0.37% in the red at the same time. France's CAC 40 lost 0.66% at 8 am CET.

The euro was flat compared to the dollar, changing hands for 1.18296 at 8:01 am CET while the pound decreased by 0.12% against the greenback to 1.31270 at 8:01 am CET.

Production setback

Centamin’s business and shares were performing strongly earlier this year. On the back of a higher gold price and production, it reported a 57% increase in first-half revenue and a 280% rise in earnings. Its shares reached a high of 232p in August.

However, last month it announced it was deferring production in one zone of its giant Sukari mine in Egypt. This was due to movement in a localised area of waste material. Subsequently, it revised its 2020 production guidance down to 445,000–455,000 from 510,000–525,000 ounces. Furthermore, it gave 2021 guidance of 400,000–430,000 ounces.

At a current 126p, this FTSE 250 miner’s shares are 46% below their August high. I think the fall is way overdone. At less than 12 times forecast 2021 earnings, and a prospective dividend yield of 6%, I reckon Centamin is another stock capable of delivering high returns for buyers today.

A second lockdown comes at a ‘frustrating’ time for Superdry (SDRY), which has made huge strides but Liberum says the fashion retailer can continue in the right direction.

Analyst Wayne Brown retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 300p on the stock, which slid 3.3%, or 5.5p, to 160.5p on Thursday.

He said half-year results reflected ‘good momentum across all channels, with the e-commerce acceleration particularly encouraging and demonstrating clear signs that the brand relaunch is gaining traction’.

‘While the latest lockdown comes at a frustrating time, the combination of dramatically improving product, more effective social media and brand marketing and a growing sustainability focus, is rapidly improving the trajectory of the business,’ he said.

Brown believed there was ‘significant value’ in the stock.

Stocks that cater to online shopping have been the obvious outperformers in Europe, and elsewhere, this year. That is as people worldwide have been stuck at home more often than not lately due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

While valuations of those companies are looking fuller these days, European e-commerce companies remain ”the best way to play the retail space given the uncertainty,” Citigroup analysts Adam Cochrane and Matthew Garland told investors in a note on Thursday.

Those stocks have seen an average 45% rise in share price year-to-date, with German-based Zalando up around 100%, though U.K. fashion retailer Boohoo has fared less well with a 12% drop. Home-furnishing retailers Westwing and Home 24, have surged 650% and 200%, as increased online penetration and category growth have quelled fears over business models, they noted.
