looking for around 255/256 finish today to fall slightly above middle of day range which would be a positive sign. If this happens, tomorrow could creep above 260 again and hold to show the beginnings of upward trend imo. Downside-wise most TA indicators oversold so stronger chances of up than down imo.

positive trading update, slightly reduced footfall but lead up to Christmas should prove to be lucrative with additional stores in place to service the demand.

20 day is soon to lift above 50 day average, which is a bullish sign. Let's see if it holds above 310 support and bounces

First stage break through and hold above 260 and then crack on from there but all technicals are oversold so much more upside than downside imo

Looking for a strong climb up to 280 now and then eventually rise to 300 if the trend develops strongly upward

Hi folks, Any reason for the nosedive in price? Been looking at the chart and its looks like an opportunity as seasonal footfall should provide some positivity imo, any thoughts?

Looks to be slowly climbing out of downtrend and moving up but never seems to go at any pace. However, if you look at market comparatives ie NEX then stagecoach is somewhat lagging. Rail franchise for Swt I believe will be around Feb from memory and that could be weighing down sentiment. Either way short-term can see this going up to around 225 imo.

Still climbing I see, can see this pulling up to 230 prior to results and then hang in the balance results-dependent. Any thoughts? Depends on divi I guess and whether results are as dreary as last update

This seems to be stuck in a range atm but narrowing - any brave souls buying/selling?

Yet buyback is the insurance policy for now, until the next trading update. From there, it could prove to be a seismic shift in either direction. Buyback consumes shares but, at the same time, productivity and bottom line will be the master, as well as sentiment towards company imo. All the best to holders

Sitting on the fence isn't being a fool, buying shares is all about timing. Need to look at micro and macro environment: charts, news, competition, currency factors, stock market fluctuations, company fundamentals, future projections, swot analysis, politics both internal and external. If it was easy everyone would be billionaires sitting on their fat crack drinking cocktails, Margins and timing, that is where it's at for me imo.

I think MA has realised it might be time to put some real number crunching professional on the board. People who know how the city operates would do SPD the world of good, if MA is intent on returning value to the company share price wise. A great deal of his staff are in share scheme and so motivation will reduce if there is no return on what, in past few years, would have been a bonus to take home and justify as reasons for remaining loyal to SPD. Pull your finger out MA and get some fresh, proven track record, professionals to take care of SPD. Imo a decent appointment alone would bump this above £3 and that's with the pound vs dollar turbulence we currently experience.

I was going to take a bite around 265 when I saw it but felt it could go lower, great trade timing again cc! the buyback is a good parachute for trading with. Imo think we could see 250 ish soon enough unless some good news follows, but what a share indeed it has had some great swings of late - all the best!

hey chicken have you had any plays with this of late? I haven't watched a lot due to work commitments, but there's certainly been a fair amount of swing

Building up a nice support around 200 now - what time for the next push up?

usually have a bounce up on the way to interim in general, never see a macd drop so negative in all honesty and starting to pull the chin off the ground so as a speculative punt I am looking for bottom to lift then confirm 2nd day and then I am in like a banger in mash

big swings here for day traders

Been watching this since the big dip, does anyone have views on mid to long-term prospects here? looks to be overblown from what research I have done so far and TA showing oversold imo.
