Signal Update
Our system’s recommendation today is to BUY. The BULLISH ENGULFING pattern finally received a confirmation because the prices crossed above the confirmation level which was at 91.2500, and our valid average buying price stands now at 93.2500. The previous SHORT signal was issued on 16/10/2014, 39 days ago, when the stock price was 100.9000. Since then DX.L has fallen by -7.58%.
Market Outlook
The bulls have strong evidence on their side and this evidence prompts us to make a bullish bet. The bullish pattern that was previously identified is finally confirmed and a BUY signal is generated. It is probably the right time to be part of this boost and bullish market sentiment. The market is telling you about a possible new profit. Do not miss this chance.

RNS Number : 1595Z
DX (Group) PLC
09 December 2014
AIM: DX
DX (Group) plc
("DX")
Leading independent parcels, mail and logistics operator
Acquires significant minority stake in 'green' delivery services provider,
Gnewt Cargo
DX, the leading independent parcels, mail and logistics network operator, is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 49.8% shareholding in Gnewt Cargo Limited ("Gnewt"), the fast-growing environmentally-friendly delivery services provider, for approximately £1.75 million in cash on completion. The co-founders of the business will retain the balance of shares in Gnewt and will continue to lead the ongoing growth of the business following acquisition. Supplementing the founders of the business, DX will be appointing two directors to the Board of Gnewt.
Founded in 2009 with the aim of reducing pollution, particulate emissions and congestion, Gnewt operates a fleet of over 100 electric zero-emission vehicles, including cargo-cycles and minivans. It offers multi-drop 'last mile' delivery services in Central London.
Gnewt has been independently verified to cut carbon dioxide emissions per parcel delivered by 62% and its services have won multiple awards, including most recently, Corporate Environment Winner 2014 at the National Institute of Courier awards and the Transport Solutions Provider of the Year 2014 from the Energy Saving Trust Fleet Hero Awards. In addition, its delivery services achieve 99.5% on time and accuracy.
Gnewt has grown rapidly since inception and by 200 per cent over the course of the past year to achieve annualised revenues of approximately £3.75 million and EBITDA of circa £0.3 million. DX will be supporting Gnewt's continuing growth and, in particular, the roll-out of its services across other cities in the UK. The investment will provide new capability for DX's existing Customers in the Legal, Financial and Public sectors as well as enhancing its existing operations in both the high street and Ecommerce retail arenas.
Petar Cvetkovic, Chief Executive of DX, commented:
"I am delighted that Matt and Sam, who both co-founded Gnewt, have chosen to partner with DX. We use Gnewt's services ourselves and therefore know just how efficient and Customer-focused they are - and, of course, how they help to reduce emissions and make city centres better places to be. We now look forward to working with the Gnewt team to expand their environmentally-friendly 'last mile' delivery services to other UK cities. We will be combining Gnewt's technical expertise with DX's funding support and core volumes to start-up Gnewt locations across the UK."
Sam Clarke, co-founder and director of Gnewt Cargo, said:
"The idea behind Gnewt was to offer an outstanding delivery service within city centres while making a difference to air quality and people's well-being. Gnewt has grown fast over the last five years and we want to take our service to other UK cities. DX shares our vision and like us is passionately committed to delivering a great service to Customers. We are very excited by this new partnership - it represents a new stage in our development and growth."

DX acquires certain assets from City Link (In Administration)
DX, the leading independent parcels, mail and logistics network operator, announces that it has reached agreement with the Administrators of City Link Limited ("City Link") to acquire certain City Link assets, comprising cages, scanners and certain intellectual property, for a total cash consideration of £1.125m.
Petar Cvetkovic, Chief Executive of DX, said:
"It is very sad that City Link has been unable to continue as a going concern, particularly for its employees and contractors. The Administrators are now proceeding with an orderly sale of assets and we have made a limited investment to acquire certain assets.
We are also doing all we can to provide opportunities for former City Link employees and contractors and to offer solutions to Customers who may need a new carrier."

Market buzz - The price war in the logistics space has put a major dent in the share price of recently floated DX Group. After jumping as high as 145p last May the shares closed on Monday at 94.75p. The decision by Amazon.com to launch its own delivery service has not helped matters any. Conditions are so difficult that even the demise of competitor City Link, on Christamas Eve, has failed to benefit any of its competitors. The company says some rivals "continue to offer unsustainably low prices". Maybe so, but as history suggests, price wars can go on longer than logic would suggest, writes The Times's Tempus.

It is DX. the ticker. plenty of movement yet up and down, some they want to get out others like you thing is overdone, give it time to settle if you still keen on them @ 25p they yield 10% on the 2.5p company said will pay next year, below a resume of what happened last Friday............
DX Group trading update sees the shares tumble: is the sell-off overdone?
The trading update from the parcels, mail and logistics operator, for the financial year to 30 June 2016 has seen the shares more than halve in quick time. Clearly some big holders have had enough! However, the severity of the sell-off suggest some irrational Friday selling may have got the better of them. A bargain on offer or more to fall?
The trading statement confirmed that trading conditions in the new financial year remain challenging, with pricing pressure a significant factor. The DX Exchange operation is experiencing a higher than expected level of volume erosion and there have been increased cost base pressures, mainly arising from driver resourcing issues (where there is an industry wide shortage). In addition, the new business pipeline in the parcels operation, while healthy, is converting more slowly.
Revenues for the first four months are 5.3% down against the prior period and profits will be significantly below current market forecasts, being previously for pre-tax profit of £27.45m and eps of 10.9p. The proposed dividend payout for the full year is now 2.5p per share (from 6.10p) which equates to a yield of a whopping 10% at the now discounted share price, seemingly well covered by earnings, although not necessarily by cash. Debt is also forecast to climb given the proposed investment. Management commented how they are “positioning the business for long term success, creating a more efficient operating structure to support our services under our OneDX programme.” That all sounds reasonable if some short term pain will result in future gain, however Mr Market seems to think it’s all terminal.
House broker Zeus has taken a hatchet to estimates: EBITDA is cut by 42% to £20.0m in FY16 (previously £34.5m) leading to earnings declining by 55% to 4.9p. The dividend is cut to 2.5p (previously 6.2p) and it is forecast that it will remain at this level in both FY17 and FY18. Net debt increases to £26.5m and £40.0m in FY16 and FY17 (previously £18.5m and £40.0m), however, this assumes an investment of c. £37.0m in to the new hub, weighted 60% in FY16. Excluding this investment net debt would be below £10.0m in FY16 falling marginally in FY17. Earnings estimates are therefore forecast to fall over the next 3 years 2016/17/18 to 4.9p, 4.7p and 4.3p respectively Assuming the now lowly 25p share price this puts the shares on a June 2016 multiple of 5.1x rising to 5.8x in 2017. Arden Partners arrived at an even more drastic scenario with revised forecasts: 2016 Revenues £301m to £288m, PBT £27.9m to £9.9m, EPS 10.7p to 3.9p DPS 6.1p to 2.5p
For those after a ‘possible’ 10% yield who are happy to wait a few years for growth to reappear, it could an interesting one.

cp1 - try dx..l which works on ig ...... you're correct that the underlying ticker is dx.
having read the stuff that mentor kindly posted, this looks like one to trade quickly -watch for bear closing perhaps tomorrow as dow now very strong (+120) and ftse showing +35 after close - or be prepared to hold for a long time and hope there are any more skeletons
==============
re driver shortage
racing certainty that in line with so many of these companies, they treat their drivers very badly and pay the bare minimum ..... chances are that they demand that their drivers are self-employed, so they get screwed even more badly ...... that would be why they churn staff ..... a really dumb attitude to their most important asset

The lowest point was last Friday @ 18.75p, has been rising since
the level 2 just now is a bit weak at the bid price after the 1p rise
