DC. Comment.... Dixons Carphone (DC.) chief financial officer Humphrey Singer says it's "too soon" to update investors on how the group fared during the all-important Black Friday, Cyber Monday and festive trading period. He said sales of white goods were strong during the nationwide promotional bonanza in November, but the company expects a second sales spike with the launch of the Boxing Day sales. Just now, the group is "in a quiet valley" before last-minute shoppers push sales up right before Christmas Day.But any surge from festive trading doesn't affect the latest set of interim figures, which run up until the end of October. During the six-month period group like-for-like sales grew 5 per cent, following a particularly strong second quarter, particularly in the UK. Revenue across the UK and Ireland rose 7 per cent on a like-for-like basis, thanks in particular to strong sales in the mobile business, which benefited from the closure of Phones 4u.Southern Europe also did well, with sales growing 4 per cent on a like-for-like basis and 7 per cent in the second quarter alone. Business in the Nordics didn’t fare badly, considering the competitive environment and pricing pressure, but the fall in the Norwegian krone relative to sterling left total first-half revenues down 11 per cent at £1.20bn. On a pro-forma basis and in local currency, sales there rose 2 per cent, or 1 per cent on a like-for-like basis.Dixons is finishing off the Carphone Warehouse integration, as well as concentrating on its US partnership with telecoms group Sprint. Chief executive Sebastian James said the "majority of difficult decisions" regarding the Carphone Warehouse merger had been made, with head offices now fully combined. Meanwhile the "rapid rollout" of the Sprint trial is said to be yielding "excellent results". A decision on accelerating a wider US rollout will be made in early 2016.Brokerage Investec expects pre-tax profits of £445m for the year ending April 2016, giving EPS of 28.5p, compared to £381m and 25p in FY2015.

Re: DC................. BEATS IC VIEW:At 487p, the shares are up a healthy 10 per cent on our year-old buy advice (444p, 1 January 2015). They now trade on 17 times forward earnings, but we don't think that's too much to ask for one of the few high-street retailers that is successfully navigating a highly competitive and volatile consumer environment.

DC................. BEATS UPDATE 1 – Dixons Carphone beats first – half profit forecasts on strong UK16-12-2015 07:49(Adds details, quote)LONDON, Dec 16 (Reuters) – Dixons Carphone , Britain's largest electricals and mobile phone retailer, beat forecasts with a 23 percent rise in first half profit, helped by a strong performance in its home market where it outperformed rivals.The group, which trades as Currys, PC World and Carphone Warehouse in the UK and Ireland, Elkjop and El Giganten in Nordic countries and Kotsovolos in Greece, said on Wednesday it made an underlying pretax profit of 121 million pounds ($182.00 million) in the 26 weeks to Oct. 31.That compares to analysts' average forecast of 111 million pounds, according to a company compiled consensus, and 98 million pounds made in the same period last year.Group sales at stores open over a year rose 5 percent, driven by a 7 percent rise in the UK & Ireland division.Dixons Carphone was formed through a merger last year of Dixons Retail and Carphone Warehouse and although investors initially reacted coolly to the plan, they have since been won over, with the shares up 37 percent."Against a broadly flat market overall and a very strong comparative period we have seen continued like-for-like growth driven by market share gains across all territories," Chief Executive Sebastian James said.The firm said a strong "Black Friday" discount day on Nov.27 delivered its biggest-ever single day's trade and was "a great start to Christmas." Dixons Carphone also announced changes to its board, with the addition of the former CEO of BT Ian Livingstone as deputy chairman and Tony DeNunzio, the former head of Asda/Walmart UK as senior independent director.Roger Taylor, the former CEO of Carphone Warehouse, will stand down as deputy chairman of the board with immediate effect.Shares in the firm, up 12 percent over the last year, closed Tuesday at 476.7 pence, valuing the business at 5.53 billion pounds.

buy shares mag via alliance trust email - graphs missingDial into Dixons Carphone Ride positive earnings momentum behind the merged retail behemothJames CruxAlmost a year into its mega-merger, electricals-to-telecommunications retailer Dixons Carphone (DC.) is confounding naysayers. Further market share gains in the UK, Nordics and Greece and across key product categories offer a powerful combined catalyst to sustain its momentum. Another round of upwards earnings revisions followed a maiden full-year update (3 Jun) for the combined group, formed through the all-share merger of Dixons Retail and Carphone Warehouse completed in August. The retailer raised annual pre-tax profit guidance to 'slightly above the top end' of a previous £355 million-to-£375 million range. This followed a strong fourth quarter where group like-for-like sales grew 9%. UK & Ireland like-for-likes were up 13% in Q4, smashing consensus estimates and improving on the strong Christmas quarter. The PC World, Currys and Carphone Warehouse brand owner is plugged into the emergence of the 'internet of things', the trend that sees ever more devices and appliances connected to the web. Its comprehensive range of electrical and mobile products, connectivity and expert after-sales service is resonating with consumers. The merger should continue to yield sales and cost synergies, as well as deliver the strong cash generation needed to invest in sustainable competitive advantage and potentially fund surplus capital returns. Shares says: "At 466.6p, the shares swap hands for almost 17 times forecast 2016 earnings, though earnings upgrades should support the rating." An ongoing beneficiary of Phones4U's collapse, Dixons Carphone's pricing is 'at our most competitive ever' versus the market, delivery options have been improved and internal customer service scores are the strongest ever. All this is helping to lure business back from the supermarkets and pure-play online rivals. The introduction of Carphone Warehouse 'stores-within-a-store' – there are now 233 open within Currys PC World outlets – is also paying off. Dixons Carphone is winning share in all key markets in the Nordics too, though Q4 growth slowed due to the impact of a lower oil price on Norway's economy and currency and a tougher Finnish backcloth. Politically-volatile Greece is also going well, surprisingly, with same-store revenues rising 8% in the final quarter. Following the disposal of non-core German and Dutch businesses, the balance sheet is also strengthening, with year-end net debt expected to be lower than the previous £300 million guidance. With a 530p price target, Numis Securities forecasts pre-tax profits of £377.5 million and earnings of 24.6p for the year recently ended, rising to a conservative-looking estimate of £422.5 million in pre-tax profit and 27.5p of EPS by April 2016.
