“ Yet there is little sign that British shoppers have lost her appetite for cheap and trendy clothes. The war for customers is heating up online, squeezing profit margins at the likes of ASOS and Missguided. Boo-hoo, led by executive Chairman Muhamud Kamani, recently teamed up with supermodel Carla Delevingne for a “party collection”, which includes tiger print miniskirts and crop tops.
Investors will also be keen to hear about sales at Karen Millen and Coast. Boo-hoo bought the two brands out of administration to broaden its age appeal beyond teenagers and young women.

Superdry, back under the leadership of co-founder Julian Dunkerton, warned that pre-tax profits could be wiped out this year after the chain opted against discounting to the same extent as last year. Clothes seals at Marks & Spencer continue to clean down 1.7%.

The online fast-fashion retailer Boohoo is set to leave its high street rivals in the dust when it reports Christmas sales this week.

Analysts at Jefferies estimate that its sales will have leapt by a third in the final four months of the year amid heavy marketing spending by the company to win customers.

Primark, another giant of fast fashion, is expected to report on Thursday that like- for-like sales across its stores in the UK, continental Europe and America were flat over the Christmas period, which would be a robust showing for a business that sells exclusively on the high street.

Growing awareness of the environmental impact of fast fashion poses potential problems for the sector, yet there is little sign that British shoppers…

I was with my sister today and she was talking about a girl who’s on instagram & had 150k followers.. my sister showed me a pic of the girl at Sidney international airport and said the skirt she has on is made by a company called Pretty Little Think. You touch the pic and it takes you to their website and she gets a cut of the sale.
Music to my ears, I didn’t tell her her brother has cart load of shares in PLT’s parent company.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s press in hope of positive comments on this week’s numbers.

The so-called ‘king of AIM’, or maybe it should be ‘queen of AIM’ due to their strong leaning towards female customers, Boohoo Group PLC (LON:BOO) will release an update on Tuesday covering third-quarter revenues as well as the run-up to Christmas.

The fast fashion retailer and Nasty Gal already flagged “record” sales across the Black Friday weekend in an unscheduled update at the start of December, adding its new ranges for Karen Millen and Coast had been “very well received”.

It also added full-year figures would be “comfortably in line” with forecasts, which include revenue growth of between 33% and 38%, so any comment on that will be watched closely.

Two days after the December update, Boohoo shares dropped on news co-founders Mahmud Kamani and Carol Kane had sold part of their stake in the company. However, the stock has recovered since jumping 13%.

“The company has consistently achieved strong growth in sales and profits, but there will be great interest in this trading update,” analysts at the Share Centre said in a note.

...wouldn’t that set the cat among the pigeons, that we can you’d up.
It would be totally possible and plausible.

First of all I believe the SP should be at the top of the trading range since another company has shown interest in acquiring Cey and there has been nothing stated by cey that they are going to miss production forecasts.
The close proximity to Iran is reason enough for the ops to be off this morning and it is also worth noting the share has risen more than 10% in the last fortnight.
I still believe that the ops should £1:55 and I’m suspicious of these continues barrage of emails, I’ve never witnessed this from any other company.
