When is the next update due? Thanks

Has there been any ‘so glad that I got back in at 18p’ comments yet?

So Barclays have got egg on their face a little bit. But they’re not going to suddenly go from an 11 P target to a 35p target as they will look stupid. They’ll come up with very conservative target so it looks like they’re being cautious. Also, our manic depressant poster will start to post a lot less. Probably has already. Well done to everyone that held out and didn’t listen to the negative noise. This is amazing news.

Has this dropped 5% in the last minutes of trading or am I reading wrong? Whats the real closing price?

So did this finish up? How much?

They’ll be a reason why they’re not posting. Busy or emergency or something. But if you look at the frequency of their posts, they must be down 90% recently.

Whilst he’s still around has anyone noticed a huge drop in the amount of posts recently since the share has rocketed

SCB, JL has had little if anything to do with the turnaround at M&S.

You really are a tortured soul. Have you ever kissed a girl?

Stuart Machin (CEO)

He’s the operator. Very “boots on the ground,” loves detail, loves data, and genuinely understands shops. Machin came through the food side of retail (Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s, then Ocado) so he’s wired for fast decisions and ruthless focus on what customers actually buy. When he arrived at M&S, he pushed for sharper pricing on food, cleaner ranges, more innovation, and better in-store execution.

He’s also the guy who banged the drum about Clothing & Home being fixable, not doomed. People who work with him say he’s intense but fair, and very allergic to corporate waffle.

Katie Bickerstaffe (formerly Co-CEO, now co-chief strategy officer)

She’s the strategist and the energy source. Before M&S she’d run at big transformation roles (She was CEO of Dixons Carphone UK & Ireland and also chaired the UK Retail Sector Council). She’s brilliant at taking a messy, outdated operation and giving it a clear direction.

In M&S terms, she helped simplify the clothing ranges, refocus the branding, modernise the online offering, and drag the whole culture closer to what a modern retailer looks like. She’s known for being very people-focused, very commercially aware, and happy to challenge old-school thinking that was hurting the business.

Archie Norman (Chairman)

He’s the elder statesman, the turnaround specialist. Norman is basically the guy companies call when they’ve run out of ideas. His CV is wild: he rescued Asda in the 90s, chaired ITV during its wobble, and he’s also a former Conservative MP.

When he came to M&S in 2017, the business was stuck in nostalgia and bureaucracy. Norman’s biggest achievement was changing the culture: replacing slow decision-making with pace, killing sacred cows, simplifying the org chart, and hiring the right operators (including Machin and Bickerstaffe). He’s not the day-to-day person, but he set the tone for the whole revival.

For me it’s the lack of correspondence leading up the results. I feel betrayed. Their silence allowed the destruction of the share price. This is the main reason why I’ll be voting against.

Thanks for any info

Could someone explain how far off going pop? Explain the steps? Or the shareholders losing money and being revamped? Would this not be a while off? Do they not have a loan facility and lots to sell before that happens?

How long have they got left to post results?

What are the chances of the board consolidating these shares? So they’re 200p instead of 20p? I hope not but I can see them doing it to make the shares seem more valuable and to give themselves more wriggle room.

When was the last time Dan mentioned shareholder value? Either in an RNS or an interview or on LinkedIn? Thanks for any info

Totally agree with reardon. They can just sell up if they wanted. Don’t let anyone on here bring you down. Keep the faith son.

was it an old one or recent? it’s so depressing isn’t it. the money they’ve wasted. for me it’s the fact they’ve not resized. they want to keep all the staff when the company has shrunk. i don’t believe we are doomed yet. maybe in six months but i’m guessing they’ll be some offers or sale of brands before then. but it’s pretty awful this. i wonder if the directors will come out all ****y as though there isn’t a problem at the next agm?

Has anyone got the web stats link for debs?

I was and still am skeptical about the way things are going here. However the changes at PLT seem to be getting very well received. They’re focusing on better, adding value and not pandering to the shein market. Whether it’s enough, I doubt it. But it seems like efforts are really being made. JL just flooded the market with cheap crap, hoping he’d browbeat the young fashion market by swamping them. Shein is going a good job of this. Focus on better. Focussing on being the cheapest is a race to the bottom.

@prettylittlething recent social media shake-up is sparking rumours of a major shift.

New ownership revealed: PLT has wiped all posts from their social media accounts and unfollowed everyone except the brand's founder, @umarkamani

This signals a fresh start under his leadership.

The mystery: Along with the profile wipe, PLT replaced their profile picture with a cryptic maroon block.

Teasing the future: Their bio now reads: "Legacy in Progress - 03.03.25." This has fans speculating that a big rebrand or collaboration is on the horizon.

With 18 million followers on Instagram, the brand is definitely making a splash. Whatever’s coming next, it’s clear PLT is setting the stage for something exciting!

Can't wait to see what's to come

When did he say he doesnt want to cull staff? i knida agree, it feels like they are running a charity. however theyll start to sell bits off before it comes any near to admin. we're quite a way off that
