steady rise this afternoon is the bid coming on the back of cheap sterling?

Volume is nothing to write home about halifax, nice rise all the same.

coming off the bottom shorters may be running for cover with the possibility of a bid likely before sterling bounces.

Gamestop will bid soon, but they are not the only one looking at this very under valued outfit.

Yes doing well.

Business Financial Newswire


PC and video games retailer Game Group said group turnover fell 10% to 1.772bn in the year to end-January.

Group profit margin improved to 27.8% from 26.1% the prior year.

Profit before tax fell 28.2% to 84.2m, down from 117.4m, with basic earnings per share at 17.45p, down 27.8% from 24.18p. Annual dividend was hiked 5% to 5.78p (2009: 5.5p). Game Group said profit before tax and non-recurring items of 90.4m (2009: 124m) is the second best performance in its history.

The group increased preowned revenues to 374.5m (2009: 353.4m) representing over 21% of sales.

For the 11 weeks to 17th April 2010, total sales and lfl sales were down by 13.3% and 14.4%, respectively.

Peter Lewis, Chairman, commented: 'The Group has delivered the second best trading performance in its history with profit before taxation and non-recurring costs of 90.4m (2009: 124m). Our results were delivered against the backdrop of a very difficult trading environment, which saw the global pc and video games market decline by over 20%. We outperformed the market and our performance can be attributed to our position as the market leading specialist, our strength in preowned, our multi-channel customer offer and disciplined operational management.

'Complementing our traditional store offer, we are today announcing the launch of a number of initiatives to strengthen our position in the growing ecommerce and digital markets.

'Whilst we remain mindful of the challenging market in which we operate, the forthcoming new technology further enhances the profile of the specialist retailer. This, together with our value driven offer to maintain a market leading position, investment in new channels to market, and our focus on cost reductions leads the Board to be confident in the Group's future prospects.'

Got out at 102 last week with a nice little profit. Worth a punt again, as soon as new CEO and CFO are found it will rise.

Back in at 86 come on Gamestop take them while vunerable with no CEO, or CFO

SP 92.3 in a dilemma now whether to take nice one day profit, or wait for bid.
