Let’s hope serious interest can be converted to serious sales.

:-) good news though.

This will help clothing sales. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54986208

Thanks Neil, like what they are doing here.

But in a world where Peloton is worth over 3x Roll Royce nothing makes sense.

Obviously a better week, although I’m of the opinion given all the results, the online improvements, the fact M&S is mostly open during lockdown, ocado, eco clothing brand introduction, +the fact people want to end the year with nice food and will need clothing when things get abit better the market cap is still a joke, it’s too low. Anyway, S&P removed its negative watch on the company today which is better news.

Thanks Neil, it’s a sensible option to raise funds, I think M&S have always had such a program but could be wrong. BTW here’s a nice article to give some comfort, I really hope the market can see this is a good company some day... https://www.ft.com/content/26e1af24-3e82-4eba-9c3b-57b4054e640d

Good news about clothing stores being open during lockdown- same story in the retail gazette

https://www.retailgazette.co.uk/blog/2020/11/ms-clothing-to-remain-fully-open-during-second-lockdown/

Baby steps, very promising future ahead esp. online and in food. Some of the costs announced today (£92m) relate to the sad reduction of 7,950 staff, one off costs.

Onwards and upwards and still very much in the game (still #2 in clothing and home despite force majeure affecting most of its shops)

Lol, come on it’s a difficult calculation but we could be talking about 3bn sales from Ocado retail by end of year

Hang on, let me get this straight, the announcement today said Ocado group EBITDA is over £60m. What was the group EBITDA in H1 2020 £19.8M, And Retail sales were over 1bb in at that time (+the majority of Ocado revenue)- it’s look good for full year

yes simply food stores are likely to be down in city centres, at the same time food stores in more suburban locations will be up. By the way that article highlights the big unknown regarding online/Ocado sales. The other figures have been known since August.

Well don’t leave it too long to revisit. It would be nice to see some more positive sentiment from you on here.

Oh come on Valueplay, even you (the most negative M&S poster on here) must see this is finally, after all the years of promises a turn around story. The new large out of town food stores are popping up everywhere, online presence has changed in a matter of months even the clothing they stock is being altered to include unique and exciting eco brands.

You and I know that the city is just a group of traders and those traders tend to change their trading decisions quite quickly as soon as one of the trading houses they work for legitimises M&S is on the right path, then the share price follows.

For you, surely you must be thinking of going long M&S, appreciate you might be bottom feeding, waiting to see what else the pandemic will throw at the world but M&S will get through this and it can only be a better company given all the initiatives it’s taken this year.

And let’s not forget castle donington - food and retail online- tick

And what a great position to be in. To go from almost no food deliveries in August to an oversubscribed service in September which looks set to be the case throughout the season. Plus a number of home and retail items are also available through the same service. It’s quite unbelievable how different the company is now compared to March.
