After a disappointing start to its float, things are starting to pick up. Since the release of results in December, the shares have steadily increased from 147p to 161p.

The group has a strong and fast growing market share and should perform well.

and we're off! 150+ in a matter of weeks i reckon. Watch this space......

Really breaking out now. Just shows patience pays off... NICE.

cheers GF.

Good call GF i did think about buying some more when you got in but didn`t didn`t have the courage of my convictions .
Have you noticed TMN today one of your old picks,i do flag it up sometimes as i think it is worth a mention although internet stocks are one hell of a gamble due to lack of assets .
Cheers DB66

I think 150p is on the cards medium term DB but were still getting some resistance from stale bulls.

holding up heroically in this panicky market. All hopes rest on tomorrow's Interims. Better be an up day...

As soon as I heard Jessops were going to float about 2 years ago, I knew it was a dog. Their shops were filled with no hoper staff. Can't see them surviving the next 2 to 3 years without much blood on the carpet.

well that's a relief, onwards and upwards :--).

Yup a solid set of results....

Jessops reports solid first half
MoneyAM
Jessops reported a solid first half performance with total sales up 10.4% and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) rising 15.2%.

The company said total sales were 178m, up from 161m in the same period last year, while like-for-like sales rose 2.3%. Direct like-for-like sales from the internet and mail order jumped 51.9%.

Jessops said EBIT rose to 6.5m while pretax profit excluding one-off costs were up 52% at 5.1m from 3.3m last year. The company proposed an interim dividend of 0.75p per share, up 7.1% on last time.

The company said current trading is in line with expectations and despite an expected tough retail environment, it believes Jessops is on track to meet its expectations for the year.

They had better close their high st retail operation if they want to see more growth.

Wrong thread.

Right one now.......

Looks like its going on a run from here despite other retailers having a bad summer JSP as done this business I here.

Forward P/E of a miserly 9.8 and PEG of 0.8 to end sept 2007.

Derd cheap.
