Ian Pollard – A Thousand Years Of History, plus #QLT, #DOM, #CCC and #SUN
Today may see the last dying days of a nation whose history was peppered with stirring speeches which matched the mood of the people just at the times when they were most needed, from Agincourt to Shakespeare, the singeing of some minor king of Spains beard, to Waterloo and to Churchill. All men with fire in their bellies who loved their country and would never think of profiteering from a cheap trick. Look at the disgraceful sight of those who now, to their shame and ours, stalk the corridors of power, always ready for the quick buck. Who won the war? Surely it can not have been us, now ready to roll over and make way for a new unelected dictatorship of European bureaucracy, a Europe which would not be recognisable to the people of all countries who fought and died, believing in vain that they were fighting for freedom.

Crest Nicolson Hdgs CRST has faced some challenges in London and with sales at higher price points due to political and economic uncertainty which has adversely impacted customer demand. The impact is likely to continue pending Brexit resolution. Well that’s good at least it shows there is nothing wrong with management. its all due to external causes beyond their control.There is just one little problem in that pre tax profits fell by 15% to £176.4m. From memory I can not remember quite how that compares to the other housebuilders but perhap[s they were not quite as exposed to political and economc uncertainty or the impact of Brexit. It has however revented them from hiking the dividend which is being maintained at 33%. Forward sales were however up by 11% as at mid January.

Domino’s Pizza – Topping 3rd Quarter Results
Strong and robust trading in the UK for the quarter to 27th September makes this Domino’s 8th consecutive quarter of double digit, like for like growth and means that full year results are likely to be ahead of expectations. CEO David Wild is delighted with his performance except in Germany, where despite all his best efforts, results continue to be mediocre.
UK 3rd quarter sales rose by 20.7% compared to Q3 2014, helped by a surge of 35% in digital sales revenue, which now makes up 75% of the UK total. UK like for like sales were up by 14.9% The Republic of Ireland also did well with growth of 13.6% ( 14.1% like for like)
For the group as a whole 3rd quarter sales grew by 19.4% and by 15.6% for the year to date.
Germany has always been a problem for Domino’s ever since it got involved there. The CEO says that the results are encouraging but a sales rise of 2.2% looks decidedly off compared to the rest of the group. He has had to admit that Domino’s still has a lot to do there. The question is, when are they going to do it.
