22-Jan-2018 – 168p – £84.0m – PER 10.8
Trading Update For The 26 Weeks To 30-Dec-2017 – Revenue for the period up 10.6% (£73.7m), Christmas period LFL up 5.9%. And, here’s a bit of honesty – “Directors believe that the 27 weeks to 6 January 2018 provides a better benchmark for underlying performance. LFL sales during the 27 weeks to 6 January 2018 were up 1.9%”. Expects FY to be in-line.
I hold here and continue to do so. Fundamentals seem fine to me and of course there’s still that prospect of a bid North of 200p.
2-Mar-2018 – 170p – £85.0m – PER 10.4
Interim Results For The 6 Months To 30 December 2017 – Revenue up 1.9% LFL (if you include New Years Eve) with Adjusted Operating Profit £6.0m (FY17 Restated*: £6.0m) and Adjusted EPS 9.4p (FY17 Restated*: 10.0p).
Not exactly inspiring but I continue to hold (more on takeover hopes than anything else).
2-Oct-2018 – 125p – £63.5m – PER 8.64
Interim Results For The 12 Months To End June 2018 – LFL Revenue down -0.6%, Operating Loss of £3.0m, the Final Dividend is maintained at 3.3p and pre-booked Christmas sales are up 20.3% (woo hoo!).
A strange set of results and some of the commentary is strange too, for example “H2 impacted by … the FIFA World Cup” – At least it seems like Christmas will not impact further! Why hold a stock when the main reason is the hope of a potential bid? Still guilty of the occasional school-boy error I continue to hold, just!
