Halfords, the Cycle People, Seem Virus Proof and Looking Good

2020-09-10 08:15:55

Hello, Share Shakers. Not so long ago, I commended Halfords (HFD) to your further research. An update is out for the first five months of its financial year and shows a 5% increase in like-for-like sales. That’s not as much as I would have hoped, but compared to other high street outfits in these restrictive days it’s still impressive...

The Line of Travel for this Cycle King Looks Better and Better

2020-05-26 08:29:57

Hello, Share Plungers. One of my tips at the much-acclaimed Shareprophets online show earlier this month was the cycling king Halfords (HFD). In the past, I’ve cast doubt on this venerable company’s prospects. It is a 'high street retailer', after all. But that was before the virus struck and now everything has changed for this company...

2020-05-12 08:23:53

Hello, Share Dabblers. One of my six tips chosen for last weekend’s highly acclaimed Shareprophets online investor show was the cycling king Halfords (HFD). Perhaps a few of you took note, as the share rose significantly yesterday!...

Halfords suggests I am not the only one getting on my bike

2020-05-06 10:04:36

My views on Halfords (HFD), the 'retailer of car parts, car enhancement, tools, camping and touring equipment and bicycles', have evolved over the last year or so. I started off overtly bearish, though last time - back in mid-January - I concluded that I needed to do a site visit after observing that I was quite impressed by the progress and implied customer affinity exhibited by key divisions including cycling and the autocentres. Today's update kicks this on a stage further...

High Street Woes Could Make Halfords Shares Wobble Along the Road

2019-09-09 08:15:37

Hello, Share Bunnies. A famous high street store with a fine tradition is the bicycle king Halfords (HFD). It also does healthy items like camping gear, electric bikes and kids’ scooters. So it’s with some sadness that I am still avoiding the shares. And that’s mainly because the situation facing our big retail chains is just not getting any better. Sir Philip Green’s empire has just reported big losses, for example...

Get on your bike...but don't buy Halfords

2019-09-04 10:00:52

Away from being an investment geek and spending time with the family, one of my favourite hobbies is cycling. Like a complete sad-o, for the last ten days or so, I have been putting my static bike in front of the TV and pedalling away whilst watching highlights of the Vuelta (the three week grand tour of Spain for pro-cyclists) but it is getting out and about in the fresh air on the bike that does it for me. So I know a little bit about cycling and my personal consumer view of the space is: I don't need to go to Halfords (HFD)...

Halfords Share Drop Not Justified as the Company Has a Cunning Plan

2019-01-11 01:05:13

Hello, Share Followers. Halfords (HFD) is a famous high street name. But a respected brand can still lose favour among customers. It’s a bit odd here though as Halfords can steal a march on its more online rivals - as it sells a lot of stuff that needs to be seen in the flesh and is not so easily bought over the net. Bicycles for example...

The High Street Decline Could Make Halfords a Hard Share to Ride

2018-05-31 00:17:54

Hello, Share Smashers. Sensible investors will be getting alarmed at the headwinds facing high street stores. This makes me rather pessimistic about the future of those familiar emporiums of Halfords (HFD). I always think ‘bikes’ when this enterprise is mentioned. And though I know it sells a lot of other stuff, as a non-customer, I still can’t easily picture exactly what Halfords is really about.

Companies Perform in Cycles and Now Might Not Be the Time for Halford Shares

2017-02-27 01:04:55

Hello Share Takers. Normally, I commend shares your researches might show are worth buying. I consider I have a bit of an obligation to be bullish on companies which might deserve it, to act as some kind of balance towards the many firms that Uncle Tom and the gang so skilfully warn you about.
