Member Info for reboundreturns

is an old " chestnut" rumoured last August at 20 quid a share...I would take that no problem but its a stretch ( of the imagination but not impossible) Chart suggests bearish with possible target to buy around 1465 p but sp could just as easily go back towards 1650 p /1700 p

Not convinced that the Accountant/ Financial Controller/ Company Secretary leaving ( after final results) is that worrying an event given that she has stayed there over 2 years and there is a Joint Company Secretary( and time to recruit another) Sp at 29.8125 p to buy yielding 6.66% after stamp duty and commission on a £ 6 k purchase June settlement of jurisdiction for divorce approaches and if Koo does not sell any hotels then there is very likely going to be more speculation on future ownership of Laura Ashley Holdings given Koo ( through MUI and Bonham Industries) holds nearly 60% with other stakes held by Ruffer LLP,GoldenPalace Holdings etcetera

would give ALY market cap of around £250 million..todays trading seen sp touch 31.5 p and some profit taking

PE of 11.5 which is how ALY measured up on day of last results but these results demonstrate that they are in control of costs and gradually trimming the number of retail outlets whilst increasing online sales.Yesterdays rise shows how leaky the market continues to be; sp was 27.5 p on 2/4/15

Excellent cashflow and 20+% increase on last years adjusted earning per share and plenty of cash in the bank would suggest that next year should see an increase in dividend.Downside Japan and Europe disappoint.

that explains volume rise yesterday on a pe of 12 sp should be around 30 p with 6.66% yield

Is it feasible for Malaysian owner to delay results until after jurisdiction of divorce decided which is sometime in June ..deadline for results is apparently 25 June...5 months afer end of financial year.Given that MUI and Bonham ( Koo) hold most of the shares ,it could happen but would be highly unusual but would not be breaking any rules.

currently trading around March 2014 NAV so would expect to fall further ...around 7 p seems likely unless some transformational news; 7 p price would represent a Fibonacci 61% discount to the last placing.

suggests results not far away as heading back towards 32 p this morning..expect RNS shortly

I do not own shares in Marks n Sparks but as I consider NEXT and MKS to be market leaders and therefore a barometer for the retail sector I asked my daughter for her opinion on the clothing range yesterday and to my surprise she said that she had recently bought clothing in the Young Peoples (?) collection..thats not to say that MKS will get back to the 700 p range but her judgement is something that has paid dividends for me in the past.The Food Side has been good for as long as I can remember( 1964!) so it looks as if the 500 p plus range could stay

But hopefully not on April Fools Day tomorrow...Adjusted Eps needs to be at least 2.2 p and even then would expect sp to fall to 26.5 p unless dividend is increased from usual one pence; slight concern that Chairman CEO Owner Koo may let his divorce settlement cloud his judgement on the question of dividend ...let's hope not!

Interesting article " Bid for Rexam sparks fears over loss of UK expertise" and today REX traded towards 583 p with Ball Corporation at US $ 70.43 giving ( excluding dividends) a value circa 624 p

last year saw results on last Thursday of March and the sp closed at 24.75 p which ,according to my figures,meant PE ratio was 11.5 I would expect the sp to fall this week to 26.5 p unless the eps exceeds 2.3 p at which point,assuming that the one pence dividend is maintained,yield of over 7%

worth more than £ 400 million claims that he has " cashflow problems" to blame for his arrears in payments to his estranged wife ..he is 400,000 pounds sterling behind in payments see article " walesonline.co.uk" dated 5/3/15 Will he cut the dividend!? for ALY shareholders so he can play " hardball" with his estranged wife Will the Judge believe that one of the richest men in Malaysia has cashflow problems!? And ,the burning question? Will he HAVE to sell down his stake in Laura Ashley Holdings to pay his estranged wife the £ ??? million that she will be demanding

A buy of 50,000 at 28 p after 4.30 pm and a small sell at 27.75 p The buy will yield just over 7% ( taking into account stamp duty and dealing cost) assuming that the normal dividend of two pence per annum is maintained...if it is increased to 2.25 p then yield would be nearly 8.8% but thats far from certain

Hit 22 p to sell in March 2014 so ,with 20/3 triple witch approaching,this looks an interesting time to accumulate these when the yield will be in excess of 7%

note contract win by Optare to supply EV buses....assume that no Kers or Trk connection anymore judging by the truly dismal shareprice and lack of news this year Will there be another placing at sub ten p level!?

yield of 7% likely at least at all in cost of 28.8 p Results due around 26 March

between 587 p and 622 p giving a mean of 605 p and representing an 8 % profit to current sp without including the 11.9 p dividend and an interim dividend of around 6 p but no doubt the boys in " the City" will try their best to shake you OUT!

Since first week of January the average rise in retail shares is 9% But Laura Ashley are negative Target 31 to 33 p range
