Why the massive drop then? The market doesn't like something here.

This looks interesting. Is this the M55 ship we've been working on? Sounds like they might be gearing up to shout about what a good job they're doing there, for marketing purposes.

Why do people here think Wickes is making political statements? Would you be saying the same if the company was supporting black people? I suspect not... It's just the inherent h0mophobia and transphobia of several older people showing its ugly head! What Wickes need to remember is that these people aren't going to be their customers in 10-20 years time so why pander to them? Stay old fashioned, go broke...

Totally agree with him on using more UK supply chains. But he is short sighted when it comes to his stance on oil and gas exploration. Regardless of whether or not we open new ones we will need these resources for decades. Better to drill for them ourselves than to buy the commodities abroad and ship them around the world to here. Better for both cost and environment.

hundreds of companies have floats at dozens of pride events. it sounds like the average wickes shopper is just old gammons who don't give a **** about anyone but straight white males.

they are the very reason why pride month exists and why companies show their support. well done wickes. if the share price falls because of gammons selling then i may buy some.

Crap website removing all my capital letters again. Seems to only do it on long posts for some reason.

hebridean9, i have buys here from 5.8p all the way to 27p. the latter of which were probably a bit foolish buying something that had risen 300% in hindsight. but back to your comments now that i've more time to reply.

you make the wrong assumption that the 200m finance package is going to be debt added to our books immediately. this number will first pay off the existing debt and the rest will be drawn as and when needed. we won't immediately shoot up to 200m debt with 120m cash on the books or whatever. the money drawn will be used to service contracts that bring in revenue to replace that money. i see it more like a credit card.

you also make the assumption that we will never win another contract and are basing everything off of existing contracts. we both know that's not going to be the case.

you're also completely ignoring im, which could likely wipe out existing debt if sold after a successful jr. given interest rates right now that might not be a terrible move but i would prefer a farm out and hold on to 30% of it. the extra 70% could pay down a lot of debt.

lastly, you are posting incorrect statements that can be countered by simply reading previous company updates.

you are deramping for a cheaper entry price. you only re-appeared after the share price went up a few days ago. you were caught on the wrong side of your trade. you now want people panic selling over the debt and old (2022) account figures that we have known about for almost six months.

you need to try harder as you just come across as a fool who knows nothing about the company. however i suspect you do know plenty about the company but facts would get in the way of your agenda. better to make **** up as you go along right?

Given my average is under 12p, glad you agree.

Getting desperate now. 😂

Time will tell. We briefly touched 16p after the RNS although the rise from 15p to 16p was weak and MM driven. I agree a rise back to 15p would be a very positive sign.

We are guaranteed news in the next couple of weeks as the audited results from 2022 have to be posted by the end of the month. Whilst these won't be very positive, I would expect an update on 2023 1H to arrive at the same time that is very positive and might even give us a boost as the 2022 accounts are priced in following the December 30th update.

mathsman, us men want our private spaces as well. and that includes transgender men.

your thinking belongs in the 1950s. the outrage is just the typical ultra conservative/far right/trump voter types trying to turn human rights into political issues to justify their transphobia, ****phobia or racism.

can guarantee most people wanting diy tools aren't going to give a **** what the ceo of the company is saying. look how many happily fly ryanair.

The problem we always have is holding on to any rise. We are slowly drifting back down to 13.75 again after the news the other day took us well into the 15s.

Ended up here trying to find out why BoycottWickes is trending on Twitter. What a bunch of idiots/bigots complaining. I think he has a point. 90% of his customers are indeed idiots. Although it perhaps wasn't smart to call them out on it.

There's nothing political about showing support for human rights.

Well said. Trust in the BOD is paramount. Once you lose that it's time to exit. I'm happy with what they have done so far and what is in the pipeline. They have made some mistakes along the way and will no doubt do so in the future but I don't expect everything to go 100% smoothly for any business.

lots of salty tears emerging on this board today from people who were caught out by the sudden rise yesterday who were clearly expecting/hoping to trade in again at 12p. that's the risk you take with being out and greedy. sat at 13.75p for three weeks and not a word from these people and suddenly they appear like ****roaches today after the rise.

Making a couple for our own usage makes sense, to not only cut costs but to show potential customers what they are capable of.

Would you like some cheese with that whine, Hebridean9?

To be fair we fell from 17p to 13.75p on almost no volume and then sat there for almost three weeks because very few others wanted to sell. It stands to reason that it won't take much to get us back to 17p. Breaking 18p is the tough one as that's when the chart doodlers tend to sell.

That's all fair points LWHL. I don't see targets as rigid numbers, because I too have witnessed people setting these kind of targets only to fall short and watch the share price fall. I see them as more guideline figures. If it climbs to 48p and doesn't look like it will climb higher then that is a good slice point. I don't intend to sell all at that level by the way, just enough to derisk my very overweight holding here somewhat.

I'm pessimistic as to where the share price will be end of this year after the performance so far this year. I would take 50p end of 2024 if you offered me that now. I believe the significant growth in this share price will be realised only when lots of IIs come onboard and I don't see that happen until we hit 2023 forecasts and then keep the forecast for 2024 as announced - to break even.

For this year I think JR and finance will take us into the 20s, some contracts mixed in will hold the 20s and we may briefly see a 12 month high. But realistically I disagree with those saying JR and finance alone will take us to 50p+. I may be wrong of course, but better to have low expectations and be surprised than have high expectations and be disappointed.

It would seem that every piece of good news for every company on AIM is an exercise to push the price up before bad news. At least if we listen to the uninvested...
