Why’s that iParsnip?

I’ve just realised most of the current BOD have been in the company for around 12 months, and many of them bring a wealth of experience with them too!

See below, profiles and start dates, It’s going to be an interesting year or two with the turnaround!

Historically I don’t see a time where they have ever given an update at an AGM. Therefore I’m not worried, as the CEO has been given millions of pounds worth of free shares, I’ll assume (and rightly so!) that him and his team are making good progress! (If they aren’t then he wouldn’t have been given these free shares, as per their free share scheme statement)

Why hasn’t anyone consider a possible offer JD Sports… they could offer a £1bn+ takeover bid for ASOS (which is only one years profit for JD) and merge them both. Their branding is quite similar, and their customer base too, perfect hand in marriage.

Probably seems the most likely to me, I’d quite happily take £10 for ASOS right now, many would… although the top dogs at the top clearly think it’s worth more…

EasyJet up 54% in the past 3 months and I’ve got £1,500 quid in them!

IAG up 2.4% in the past 3 months and I’ve got £50,000 quid in them. Unbelievable haha!

Well… we’ve got 3,350 staff..

100 are being cut, 700 jobs should be cut at the lichfield when that closes, and these aren’t directly employed by asos either, so good for us! then we’ve got an empty warehouse that we own.

This will shave a minimum of £20,000,000 off our running costs, If the lichfield warehouse was to be sold… how much do we assume that’s worth?

Saying that… I know when Menzies were on the stock market, I was buying at £1 share for well over a year or two. no directors were buying at all… until it hit a good £3+ and then that’s when the buy out offer came at £6.

Free float can’t be much… if 75/80% of the company is already owned by Fraser, Directors, and large groups and none of them are really selling.

I’m unsure, but I’ll continue to hold until we get at least 450p

Sooo Shein is valued anywhere between $50 & £90bn on the IPO whenever that happens….

Yet we’re worth £450m…. How hasn’t anyone seen the HUGE potential here to offer a buy out…. Honestly a £1.5bn takeover offer for all 17 brands we hold would get people talking and would be a steal for someone. I’m sure the BOD would say even that offer undervalues the business.

My earlier comment has disappeared… has it? Ughh

Boo Hoo are in the green, maybe due to them closing a warehouse… we’re in the red…. More buys than sells too.

I’m aware of that Alessandro, just adding/making it known on the board that’s all :)

JD Sports Fashion Plc ('JD' or the 'Group') is pleased to announce it has completed the acquisition of the 40% minority stake in Marketing Investment Group S.A. ('MIG' or 'Company') and is now the 100% sole owner.

This acquisition has been completed following receipt of a decision from the European Commission declaring the transaction compatible with the internal market.

As a result of taking full control of MIG, JD has both simplified further its European operations and created the opportunity to accelerate the rollout of the JD brand in Central and Eastern Europe.

In the financial year to January 2024, MIG generated revenues of approximately £270m. As at 30 December 2023, MIG operated a total of 403 stores across 13 countries, including 23 JD stores.

As per title, RNS this morning with Boo Hoo, they now own close to 25% of Boo Hoo Plc

Just saw it go through at 16:27 ;)

3,666 shares and 9,096 shares? In two orders, one after another! Niceeee

Nice job SuccesstotheBrave! What’s that 12,000’ish shares! Ooft

I can’t moan really… 6,350 shares at 399p isn’t bad and I’m positive long term I’ll be wishing I bought more!

I’m stuck with 6,350 shares at 399p average sadly.

Bugger haha! I’ll sit and hold for now.
