Stockdog,

What do you think of the latest results??

I thought they were ok. Quite positive outlook from the Company!!
The retail sector seems to be improving. Like-for-like sales figures still down from '04 but then again that was going to be very difficult as 2004 was an exceptional year!
One point is that as long as nothing nasty happens in the High street, the next set of results can only look positive compared with 2005...!

The Gross margin is improving which is important + store openings are going ahead as planned so maybe 2006 will be a great year for Topps Tiles!
.....and as was hinted in the press, Topps Tiles might well become a Takeover Target within 12 months.

If that's the case, what's a reasonable Takeout price in your opinion?? 3-3.50?

Thanks for replying.

Back in on this a couple weeks ago and already breaking higher. Not sure what was driving it today unless it was the bullish UK data out??

Topps Tiles looks to be staging some kind of recovery over the last few days. One to keep an eye on..........



Look at the lower indicators just turning positive.

Might be against the market in general but also might be worth the risk so Ive had a few earlier on today.

Topps Tiles flags 4% rise in Q4 like-for-like revenue

Turning the tide hopefully here following recent retracement. Time to retest the highs after very encouraging results.

Oversold today.?

One of the few risers today.

buying nerw tiles for your bathroom is pretty low down on most folks list, esp at this time of year - then in Spring they think about summer hols.

This stock has been here before 2008 DYOR - and is probably good for the yield.
I don't hold.

I've bought a few at nearly 20p

Moving upwards and chart looks good.

Quarterly update on Wednesday - Topps Tiles, the tiles and flooring specialist which reported its interim results in May, it was named by Peel Hunt a few weeks ago as its top pick of potential recovery stocks: "In a sector not lacking in companies looking for recovery, Topps offers a stable balance sheet, no risk of internet disintermediation and a business that has continued to build market share

For many, the fortunes of Topps Tiles serves as a proxy for consumer confidence in general and the housing market in particular.
Homeowners’ propensity to re-tile their bathrooms is a fairly good indicator of disposable income and housing transactions.

In May, Topps said trading had improved markedly in the first seven weeks of its third quarter, up 4.5pc on a like-for-like basis.

The company would be thrilled if it could report that it had maintained this level of sales growth, despite there being precious few signs of an improvement in the consumer economy.

Interim Management Statement





Topps Tiles Plc (the "Company"), the UK's largest tile specialist, reports on trading for the 13 weeks ended 30th June 2012.




Like-for-like revenues across the full 13 weeks of the third quarter have increased by 2.1% (2011: down 1.9%).



The result for the third quarter is in line with management's expectations and, as we enter our final financial quarter, we remain comfortable with market expectations for the year as a whole1.



During the quarter we opened three new stores and are currently trading from a total of 322 UK stores. We continue to target a total of 325 stores for the year end.



There have been no significant or unexpected changes in the financial position of the Group since the publication of the Interim Report for the half year ended 30th March 2012.





1 The current range of analysts' estimates for adjusted pre-tax profit for the year ended 30 September 2012 is £11.5m to £14.0m, with a consensus of £13.0m.



- Ends -

Looking very good

Climbing steady

Sold my holding

Topps Tiles has had a good year of it so far, having hit nearly 52p recently for a 12-month rise of around 60%. But the price has fallen back a bit in recent days, dropping 3.6% to 47.5p on the day of the firm's pre-close trading update today, even though it looked fine.

Apparently the fourth quarter was strong, and a full-year performance in line with forecasts is still expected -- suggesting a pre-tax profit of between £12.7m and £14m. There's a dividend of a little under 3% expected, which is not great, but the shares are on an undemanding price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of under 10.

Gone long here bouncing along on short term rising moving average. Lower technicals look good aswel.

Trading update end of this month.

Reckon people buying new houses will help the company out.
