Have to agree, stockdog. I think the business model and green-field opportunity of the market they are in are too good not to yield great growth at some point, but it may take some time to get there.

The drop in the offer to 1.12p last week was interesting - several 'watchers' bought in. The spread, generally, is one of the 'risks' we take with a company like COH but in a few years it will be the least of our worries. Remember, CFN started out with 1 store in 1997 - here we are in 2005 and they have 217, just in the UK. I'm confident that COH will be able to achieve bigger and better results in eastern europe.

Takeover rumours, could be coffee heaven one day.

COFFEE Republic has seen its shares soar 15 per cent on takeover speculation, but put out a statement saying it had no idea where the rumours were coming from.

The company closed up 0.19p at 1.4p as investors spotted a bargain, but the firm said it was sticking to its deli concept.

Ted1 - 03 Aug 2005 11:36 - 220 of 2037

2Mil M trade, nice made a 0.07p jump. Price been drifting down lately but will it get back under 1p? I'm back in for some if it does.

AdieH - 03 Aug 2005 11:40 - 221 of 2037

Goes up and down on regular basis but does not seem to break certain levels, won't really move until we get more news (September)... As has been stated on numerous occassions this is a long term hold and hopefully will reward the patient holders... IMHO...

AdieH - 08 Aug 2005 11:05 - 222 of 2037

Nice rise on no news... wonder whats up, lots of small buys, seems someone has tipped this does anyone know?

zscrooge - 08 Aug 2005 11:40 - 223 of 2037

RHPS buy recommendation

AdieH - 08 Aug 2005 13:47 - 224 of 2037

Many thanks looks like their saying target price of 2.5p within 1 year... Lets hope their right.

Good to see support from RHPS giving the price a bit of a kickstart.

I haven't double checked but I seem to recall that the broker note which can be found on the COH website was also saying 2.5p within a year.

AdieH - 09 Aug 2005 08:26 - 227 of 2037

Yes it does overgrowth, looking good...

richie1saunders - 16 Aug 2005 17:22 - 228 of 2037

Some interesting recent posts on the ADVFN COH thread indicating the commitment of the management to this company. Did the RHPS article throw up any new information? Looking forward to results time!

dclinton - 17 Aug 2005 08:57 - 229 of 2037

At least the MMs seem to be keeping the spread down to a very reasonable level, for a small cap. I'm encouraged by the recent upswing which seems to be holding.

roma - 17 Aug 2005 09:53 - 230 of 2037

I have been saying for a long time now, that the spread was putting off buyers, so I was very pleased when the MMs brought down the spread. It also gave encourged me to buy some more, which I did three weeks ago. This is one I will be expecting to show me a good return over the next couple of years.

richie1saunders - 05 Sep 2005 22:50 - 231 of 2037

Results must be due very soon?

Ted1 - 06 Sep 2005 09:28 - 232 of 2037

Yep, early september. Any predictions?
Bit of an unknown, but if sales have been strong then I would like to think that this will surge.

AdieH - 06 Sep 2005 09:31 - 233 of 2037

Lets hope so, results have to be out by end of month, CEO would not commit to date (understand why) but underlying feeling that results will be good... : - )

sjtee - 19 Sep 2005 10:13 - 234 of 2037

Does anyone have any further news on when the results will be out?

Ted1 - 22 Sep 2005 11:11 - 235 of 2037

Results out early next week apparently. They must release them by the end of September anyway. A little positive buying this morning. Should pick up into next week. Any forecasts for the results anyone?

Ted1 - 22 Sep 2005 14:02 - 236 of 2037

Thinks warming up nicely. Could we hit the 2.5p broker forecast?
