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.

ask the wife.......

just like the SEY banter of old...

This may be of interest to you Jessop's holders. From Killik's morning note:

JESSOPS Trading update



Another new issue that has succumbed to a profit warning within its first full year of public ownership is Jessops. Today, they announce that trading in the first trading in February and March has been difficult particularly in the sale of digital cameras and sales with sales well below management expectations. Margins have also become tighter in this environment which implies Dixons has been competing hard on price. New product launches are expected to assist a return to growth in the second half.



Current expectations are for profits of around 20-21 million and this is being cut back to 15 million by Seymour Pierce, the broker this morning. This equates to earnings of 10p per share a 30% reduction and the shares have fallen 26% in opening trade to 114p.



Analysts are also casting an eye over Dixons this morning as an obvious downgrade candidate on similar worries.

Well i`am in jessops now,come on you know it makes sence . Time to get my arse down to the shop and have a look around,point them in the right direction.

Now whats on my wishlist!!!!!!!!!!!I KNOW ,a leica m7 or a hasselblad 501,,,more likley a lowepro camera bag,,,more like a samsonite,after all what can you get for 15 quid!!!!!

not a lot.

Come on get down to jessops


you know it makes sence ,i want a quick return..

I would love to help you out dave but as i bought my current digital camera from jessops this time last year, the mrs wont be too happy if i trade this one in and buy a better one.

I did read that shares mag tipped these as one to watch this year and did think about jumping in but bought HMY instead.

Accord,i belive its about pixels with them digital camera`s this years 3 million,,will be next years 6 million!!!!!!!

Where it going to end,in a profit i hope.

I bought mine in Argos
GUS up - JSP down
Says it all

Dont own these shares but had them on my watchlist. Not just Shares magazine that tipped them. i seem to recall only about 1-2 months ago they were getting tipped everywhere. Just goes to show never listen to the "experts." Seems to me this lot are in a very price competetive industry. Dont know much about digital cameras but if i was buying one I would probably go into Jessops, try every one in the shop, soak up the specialist sales advice then buy it off the net from whoever had the lowest price.

Sliding away again...

ouch.

Surprised to see it slips so much this morning. It did take them two attempts to get to the market. I think they may get taken out if the price slips too far.

Drop is overdone.

If I had time I would watch the birdy and buy at bottom, but I can not guarantee being around to see this one so I will have to watch now and then.

Smacks of the same dramatics with EZJ last year.

Wont be much more to go imo see what happens today and look tomorrow.

Afternoon,just got back from my local {not the pub} seems fine in store,helpful,knowledgeable,good product range,,,a small negative,,very cramped & tight for selling space {god knows how they will get on when there busy} or am i asking to much.
To me with the summer on the way its just a click away so come on and get your camera`s out,,,,,,,nice photo!


MD,when your out looking for new stores,,,,,,,,LOOK FOR BIGGER ,,square feet always helps.

Rent is stupid though in town centres. The high street is dying as a place to buy most products apart form clothes, coffee, cards and newspapers.

Agree with that,what insentive is there to come back in.

my local is on the finchley road and it is well stocked but also tiny.

true that summer should see a pickup in sales...otherwise...

high steet is just not well at the moment...what needs to happen is just smarten up areas to entice shoppers.

Its nice and clean in wales prop,if you just move the big issue sellers,,buskers,,traffic wardens,,badge collectors,,fly posters,,and the tramps ,,you can see the pavement then!

Just went in at just under 100p bid price - looks good value to me!
:>)

Roll on a take-over offer!!!!!!!!
:>)

I think i was a day early bunny !

Considering we are in a boom time for digital cameras this is not a good sign from jessops is it? People going elsewhere for their cameras?
