Hi Jam4u - nice summary - you might like to add Body Glow by Skinny Tan which has been in Superdrug for a month or so now.

Currently 400-410 but as you all know in my minutes time it could be quite different! Very good update

That's a mistake - it should read 30 June 2017, surely!

As is often the case, there is more than one way to view some chart trends. I can see either a fall to 292p a support level being a previous closing high on 26 May or a rise to 440p if a trend channel, with a chart line linking closing highs on 5 May and 5 June, carries on. The former is probably most likely because of usual selling on news, but you never know. And that's the excitement in investing, particularly in small companies, isn't it! Wonder what time of day the update will be announced. Well we'll know fairly soon. And whichever way it goes, I am not too concerned as I'm confident that IDP will continue to grow and is a share to hold.

loola cosmetics if that is the company you are referring to is Canadian and nothing to do with IDP. I noted that the Stevie K website is being rebuilt and is planned to be launched in July, no doubt to tie in with the products launch in the UK. As you've listed and others here have mentioned there is a lot to look forward to in the second half of this year. Let's hope Monday's update will not be disappointing, not that I expect it to be. I'm expecting an update primarily on Skinny Tan's and Bodyglow's sales, but with perhaps targets for the remainder of 2017 and further information on the other product launches and sales avenues. GLA

Bottled - thanks for your thoughts on this. The big question for me is whether the update will provide any nice surprises, but with only really SkinnyTan's sales growth to be confirmed at this stage, I agree that it would not be a surprise to see a drop in the SP. It would be interesting to know the early sales figures for Body Glow, recently added in Superdrug, as we have been told that they are pleased with its start. Also to know what effect there has been on Skinny Tan sales as a result of the additional e-tailer distribution channels. However, I don't expect to be given such detail at this time. If we do see a drop in the SP IMHO it will present a further buying opportunity, as it will not be long before the cosmetics and skincare products hit the market in July to add to the range of products that IPD sells and boost turnover further. What we must expect though is the increased marketing and admin costs that come with this and it will be interesting to see the level of profitability achieved and whether the cash flow is sufficient to finance the increased working capital requirement. Night all.

Have just bought in this morning with 2 lots of £2,500 as obvious potential with mcap reasonable for current position.

go! predictable rise in SP with update due on Monday but nevertheless good to see. Hope we may see recovery to 375-380 before the end of the day. Have a good day.

I note another 4m shares bought after 4 pm today at 37p and 38p (2m each). With the small level of free float here, the SP will move rapidly on any increased volume. Encouraging as we get closer to an RTO.

Hi Jam4u - I saw the announcement on the SkinnyTan HQ twitter page as you did that they were going live on their social media channels, but I haven't noticed anything. Have you?

Every time a few sells come along, the mms take the opportunity to lower the bid, whilst the ask moves far less when buys come in. They are marking the SP down whenever they can. I assume this is either to find a support level or to acquire more shares for when the SP moves up again. I was expecting like most of us no doubt that the SP would move up ahead of the trading statement. Perhaps now there will be less profit-taking when the statement arrives. IMHO in the medium to long term the SP will rise as the company goes from strength to strength. All those new products coming to the market as well as rapidly increasing the sales of Skinny Tan and the other existing products. I am confident that the management know what they are doing and IMHO we have an exciting time ahead.

Have just listened to Bob Smith's interview and having digested the results, I do not profess to understand why there has been such a lack of a positive market response. I suppose the share is off the radar. Thank you for giving ShP the shareholder's questions, which were well considered. I just hope that the large seller has finished because they have certainly not helped. Actually, I don't hold any shares any longer as my stop loss was taken last week and I made a 55% loss or thereabouts. I shall keep watch to see if the SP does come to life again sometime so that I can recover some or all of my loss. GL in the meantime.

We may find support at about 348-350. Two reasons being - SP bottomed at that level on 9 June and the SP is very close to the bottom of the downtrend channel which started from the last 402 peak on the 10 minute chart. I would hope that there will still be investors wanting to buy in or top up before next Monday. We shall see.

Welcome JTF. I shall be interested to know our sales growth in the US as that is naturally the biggest market, but I expect that will not be known until the annual results are issued. If the company can manage its expansion, then this may well prove to be one of the fastest growing retailers in the world in the beauty and cosmetics businesses and very profitable for investors.

The SP is virtually back to where it was before the news about the change in direction. Still sitting on a 43 per cent loss, but I expect that to be made up when the RTO arrives. Kicking myself that I didn't buy some more at 25p for a 40 per cent gain, but ah well.

Sorry to be hogging the bb at the moment. GLA for the week ahead with only the week to go before the update next Monday. Because of that could we break the 400p beforehand? Here's hoping.

See on Superdrug's online store that the Limited Edition Rose Gold 7 day tanner is out of stock:- http://www.superdrug.com/b/Skinny%20Tan Very limited!! Hopefully, IDP can supply more to satisfy demand. With their fast growing sales of Skinny Tan I wonder how they will cope with the expansion at their UK manufacturing site? No doubt coping with the growth is something which the management will spend plenty of time planning.

Loved this post courtesy of verger from another bb this morning - Theresa May looking ashen and tearing her hair out; time to send her some IDP products -;)

A healthy day today after the early markdown with the SP hardly moving for a change. From another retailer in the cosmetics market showing their thoughts on the potential market for them:- The cosmetics market is believed to be an attractive growth market which is made up of two categories; prestige and mass o The accessible price points of the mass market see consumers buying from these brands more frequently o The US is the largest colour cosmetics market globally with a retail value in 2015 of approximately $11 billion. The UK colour cosmetics market is estimated to grow from £1.8 billion in 2016 to c.£2.4 billion in 2021 I'm thinking of the potential with IDP's Stevie K Cosmetics range as to how that could grow once the DTC gets working with it. Plenty of space for a new name!
