This seems a bit odd - can anyone shed light on this?
Dixons have no trades showing on DXNS has the epic changed or something?
Cheers for any input
:>)

a true story ..... the other day i went into duty free at heathrow as my son wanted a specific camera ..... i had already done my homework and established that i could buy on line at £304 ..... dixons duty free were demanding either £458 or £498 (!!) - i can't remember which

so i go to a good retail camera shop in miami ..... shelf price was $529 (approx £325), but when i mentioned that i could buy it cheaper in uk, the manager immediately offered me a price of $449 (£275), which of course i accepted

lots of useful conclusions can therefore be drawn and lessons learned by uk retailers!

Dixons should issue an update soon. I think the guy who bought 1.5 mln at 28.36 yesterday had good reason to buy.

Ahoj - 17th - next Thursday.

Vidacos Nominees > 6%

What does that mean?
Are there in private/small shareholders accounts?

TS tomorrow.

Fingers crossed for the holders.

Warranties and electrical goods seller Dixons Retail (LON:DXNS) provides an update covering its fiscal third quarter, covering October, November and December.

Portuguese broker Espirito Santo is tipping a 6% increase in like-for-like (LFL) sales, “but with some negative gross margin mix from an increased weight of tablets and some additional operating cost resulting from increased staff in store to ensure new customers have a good experience.”

The broker also expects Dixons to make further price cuts over the next 12 -18 months to reduce the price gap with Amazon.

“For the Nordics & Northern Europe we estimate LFL sales increased 9%, almost as high as the 1H LFL sales growth of 11%, but with a negative impact on gross margin and a negative mix impact on margin as the growth in Denmark and Sweden outstrips that of the higher margin Norwegian business.

“For Southern Europe we anticipate a LFL sales decline of 9%, in line with the 1H. The bigger issue is what Dixons can do to dispose or restructure the business.

“Finally for Pixmania we forecast a 13% LFL sales decline, a deterioration of the -11% 2Q run rate as competition increases. But although we assume an operating loss this year of around £30m we assume this loss may moderate next year as management get to grips with the business following the change of ownership and makes a decision about the future of the business within the group.”
