<description><![CDATA[ MKS debt does not need to be renegotiated until sometime next year.<br>
A rights issue is highly unlikely.<br>
Why do you think its a possibility?<br>
If sales continue to improve as we come out of recession then the debt won't be a problem. By CCSIceman ]]></description>

<title>Re: MKS broker forecasts</title>
<description><![CDATA[ there is debt, quite a lot of it, so a rights issue must be a possibility if the share price continues to move north - shareholders can no longer take it for granted that their interests will come first..See for example on this subject:<br>

<title>MKS broker forecasts</title>
<description><![CDATA[ Does anyone know what the broker forecasts are for MKS stock? It strikes me that they have done well in riding out the recession and have made a decent profit in the face of some very difficult market conditions, the future seems to be 'rosey' (excuse the pun!). MKS seems slightly undervalued to me, but who am I to know! By jonnynovice ]]></description>

<title>Need 347!!</title>
<description><![CDATA[ What are the chances of this stock hitting 347 in the next week or so? Slim- have read your posts with interest and the news and outlook seems fairly bright, but am having trouble reading the markets and stock picking !!<br>
<br>
347 is my break even point and might look at getting out at 349 / 350 (or even 347!!). If the 340/342 seems to be the range for a while might get some more at 340/339.<br>
<br>
Thoughts please!! By donutted ]]></description>

<title>"shares look cheap"- analyst</title>
<description><![CDATA[ <br>
&quot;M&amp;S shares are up 2.5% at 348.8p, outperforming a FTSE 100 currently down around 4 points at 5133.<br>
<br>
The food and clothes chain reports next Wednesday but analyst Sam Hart at Charles Stanley warns us not to expect too many surprises given the proximity to a recent investor day. He predicts the focus will likely be on operating margins, outlook comments and the pension fund. <br>
<br>
&quot;We think the shares look cheap for the trough of the cycle, and will be looking to move towards a more positive recommendation after the results.&quot;<br>
