Re: NEW ARTICLE: SuperGroup shares doubl... SuperGroup shares double on superfast growthHarriet Mann | Thu, 5th November 2015 - 13:19Share thisSuperGroup shares double on superfast growth What a year for SuperGroup (SGP) fans. Euan Sutherland, the man who left the "ungovernable" Co-op, has shown exactly what he can do, facilitating a spectacular recovery at the owner of the popular Superdry brand and a doubling of the share price since January.A much anticipated design collaboration with Hollywood star Idris Elba should be on the racks before Christmas, too, and full-year profits look set to beat forecasts. That promise of a maiden dividend at the interim results looks "super safe".Driven by both its retail and wholesale divisions, group sales jumped 22% in the half-year ended 24 October to £255 million. Granted, SuperGroup is performing against weak comparatives in 2015, but rapid online trade pushed retail like-for-like revenue up an impressive 15.5% in the second quarter to £91.6 million. Group gross margin should also be better-than-expected, although currency movements are unhelpful.Ending the period with £80 million of net cash, an interim dividend of 6p is a shoo-in, according to Investec Securities. And a full-year payout of 19.3p might be conservative.Clearly, overall revenue growth benefited from SuperGroup's retail store space expansion, with 14 new shops opened since April. There are more to come and there's progress on its 10-year joint venture with China's Trendy International. As it stands, the group has 192 stores globally, but analysts at Peel Hunt reckon the European roll-out and US expansion will seriously accelerate earnings growth over the next two-three years.supergroup graph(click to enlarge)As retailers gear-up for Christmas, SuperGroup's collaboration with star of the Sky TV ads Idris Elba will hit the stores this month. After disappointing ranges last year, founder Julian Dunkerton is back at the drawing board with new Sport and Snow ranges, which should help Sutherland achieve his four-pronged strategy. The new boss is focusing on broadening and strengthening the group's appeal, expanding its product range, and executing growth opportunities in new markets and online.With retail behind much of the momentum, the division has a new global retail director who will steer future expansion. Leaving Tesco (TSCO) behind, Nick Tatum will be responsible for the retail operations and logistics."With a successful first half completed, the business is well placed for the all-important peak season and we remain confident of delivering full year profits in line with our existing guidance although comparatives throughout the second half are more challenging," said Sutherland.More growth in store?Recovering from profits warnings and accountancy issues, SuperGroup's share price has more than doubled since Sutherland took over at the end of 2014, rocketing from 750p to a 19-month high of 1,598p on Thursday (see chart). The firm repeated profit guidance of £60-£65 million flagged in March, which puts the shares on around 24 times forward earnings."SuperGroup is now looking more fairly valued in our view," says Cantor Fitzgerald consumer analyst Freddie George. But Kate Calvert over at Investec believes there's more to come. "Our target price, based on 10% CY16 PE discount to the European growth apparel retailers average, rises to 1850p (1450p) reflecting the upgrade & peer group re-rating," she says.SuperGroup's rapid share price rally was something our resident stockpicker Edmond Jackson predicted might happen when he covered the company in the spring.He was right, and we added in July that the bounceback, by then already well underway, "may have further to run".Shareholders sitting on fat profits might deem it sensible to take some cash off the table, and SuperGroup's share price will, at some point, gravitate back to the 200-day moving average.For now, however, earnings growth predicted wel

Re: Why the Seesaw ? Hello adrian.It seems that shares often have a chart that goes up and down. I look for the chart that displays its swings, and I work out the tops, and bottoms. As long as it does this in a nice up swing I am happy. If it falls below its bottom swing I sell it. It seems that you are the only one who is on this board so far. Never mind if it carries on rising others will join in. I found this one from the ADVFN news displays. Lets hope it works its self out ok in the end.Have you looked at OPTI? Its on the move, nice up swings..Loadsadough
progress? Yesterdays announcement should mean good times ahead? . does pharmaspecialist have an opinion? not sure how long something like this would take to get to market but seeing as it is an adaptation of an existing drug, rather than a new one, this would mean no lengthy FDA approvals etc?. I am not an expert in this field so anyone's input would be appreciated.
Re: Edison Research Nicely pointed out pharmaspec. SP a year ago was around 680p so if business expectation is to 'stay still' this year, current SP of 465 looks cheap?
Re: Meanwhile OG - I don't think anyone you've (effectively) been calling names has ever suggested RT was to be trusted. I have said enough times I would never have invested in any company in which he was involved - and I didn't. There was a long investigation of all the accounting by PwC, which didn't show the accounts were 'fake'. Yet you say they were. Would you mind if I prefer PwC's version, or are you saying they're not to be trusted either? PwC said (with hindsight - mine's 20/20) that the accounting policies applied to income recognition (do you know what this means?) were at the aggressive end of what was acceptable, but were nonetheless acceptable. They also said that some policies adopted were unacceptable - these probably relating to income recognition on the industrial deafness claims which RT had frequently referred to and said what was included, particularly in the most recent trading updates before everything hit the fan. There was no history to go on and no-one (except you and a couple of others) has suggested any overstatement of revenue and profits was deliberate. Why would it have been when it would so quickly have been found out when the cash didn't come in?The shares price was driven up to the level it hit by the kind of buyers who wouldn't spot it if you handed them a set of accounts that was upside down. They bought in on the back of a good growth story as presented by RT that in the end wasn't far off the mark - in regard to overall volumes at least. As to when revenue and profit got booked, that was down to what PwC outlined. RNSs were always bullish, as befits characters like Terry, but I think anyone will have a hard time pinning him about 'lying'. Nelson at IQE has been more than hinting at a lot more than has ever been achieved there for donkey's years - and he did the self-same thing with 18m of his shares in IQE as RT did with his in QPP, and with the same outfit - but no-one's looking to clap him jail. Ditto a lot of others. None of the above excuses RT but he was far from being the worst offender at talking up his charge's prospects, as the Greek with the unpronounceable name amply demonstrated recently at Globo. Sorry - ex Globo. Share prices are about sentiment and directors of companies that are on the acquisition trail and are using paper to buy the targets want the price to be as high as possible for obvious reasons. Don't invest in AIM if you don't understand the rules. Everyone knows the regulators (what regulators?) are useless and investors invest at their peril. It shouldn't be like this but it is. Caveat emptor. The best way not to get caught is to do your research and steer clear of people like Terry. It's only girl's blouses who start pretending afterwards they believed accounts that they never even so much as glanced at were overstated. As it happens, they were mainly overstated because the new lot decided to give themselves something a bit more than a clean sheet to start with and threw as much as they could think of back into periods when Terry was there, then provided against a whole lot more in H1 this year. That will be released when it leads to the biggest bonuses for exceptional turnaround.My own view is that RT probably got up to tricks in QPP's early days but by the time KPMG came onto the scene, the accounting had improved. KPMG evidently went along with the accounting policies so they can't have thought they were deliberately inappropriate or whatever word was used. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.Just to be clear (and I'm sure I speak for a few others) I dislike Terry and fundamentally disapprove of people like him. But that doesn't mean people of his type lack vision, application or anything else that can be used to describe what some mavericks have that most others don't. What RT left behind when he went wasn't all bad. Rather the reverse according to SGH.Investors here now don't deserve punishment for trying to make a profit after forming views you disagr
Telegraph- Questor "Wincanton shares still cheap as dividend on the cards: Wincanton, the U.K.s largest haulier, has agreed the £60 million sale of its records management business. The deal is the latest stage of a multi-year turnaround that leaves the shares well placed for further gains. The records management business, which generated £3.5 million in profits from revenue of £22.4 million last year, will be bought by Restore, the specialist document storage group. The lower debt levels will also reduce interest repayments, making a return to dividend payments more likely this year. Market expectations are for a 5p dividend this year, the first since the payout was cut in 2011. The deal with Restore is another step on the road to recovery after Wincanton reported rising profits and revenues in its most recent annual results. The haulage and logistics business is well diversified, with 12% of sales coming from construction, 13% petrol tankers, 15% fast-moving consumer goods, 25% groceries and 25% general merchandise. The balance comes from other sectors. That said, the shares are still only trading on a price-to-earnings ratio of 10 times, even though the loss of the records management business will knock about 10% off this years earnings to give 19p per share. Wincanton at 202¾p +¼p. Questor says Buy. "
massive slump ... yet no reasons why SP is down 9% in trading today. cant be true or has there been some insider dealing ?
Wow Tiger your right I was sleeping on my watch , did not realise today's massive hike .What a great week for LPA and looks like a bright future LED !! That is !!££££££
Re: 600p - O/T I also held Treatt, but have sold that one out after a quick 17% gain was on table in just one month after buying. I thought their cash position in the short term was weak and a Rights issue a possibility as well (due to plant shifting). However I like that company too and may get back in on weakness.Anyway, I would be interested in knowing the other shares that are on your mind for buying, if you sell Tate or otherwise.nk
