“We would be wary of the ability for the M&S brand to support a basket size of the magnitude required to make the online economics work (given its natural bias to convenience and events),” Jefferies analysts said in a research note. Only last month M&S Chief Executive Steve Rowe said the firm’s basket size was not appropriate for a full online grocery service, noting 41 percent of M&S customers shop for “today/tonight”. For Ocado, however, analysts said news of the talks was a relief following a devastating fire this month at its flagship robotic distribution center that hit its shares.

“Ocado’s current share price is still lofty, and that means investors are expecting big things, considering the group is yet to make a meaningful profit,” said Hargreaves Lansdown equity analyst Sophie Lund-Yates, Ocado has a 1.3 percent share of Britain’s grocery market, according to Kantar Worldpanel data, while M&S has 3.6 percent according to Nielsen data, Ocado, founded by three Goldman Sachs bankers 18 bora bora beach sand cufflinks years ago, has been transformed in the last year after it struck major deals to sell its technology to international retailers such as U.S, group Kroger Co and France’s Casino..

While the focus on technology has boosted its share price, the deal as mooted with M&S would enable Ocado to keep a stake in its British retail business rather than selling it completely to focus on tech deals. The cash from M&S would also enable it to invest further in the online distribution centres it is building. “In our view a 50/50 JV makes a lot of sense for Ocado today,” Bernstein analysts said. “It is too early to lose their retail business as it is an essential and unbeatable part of the sales pitch to global customers (i.e. they are not just selling you some hardware/software, they operate it very successfully in the most competitive grocery ecommerce market in the world).”.

The Evening Standard report suggested Ocado would use M&S as a supply partner for its British customers, Many of the products that bora bora beach sand cufflinks Ocado currently sells are supplied by Waitrose, and it was not clear what the M&S talks would mean for that arrangement, Ocado’s deal with Waitrose ends in September 2020, Ocado is required to give 18 months notice if it does not intend to extend the contract, Waitrose, which has built up an online food business in parallel with its partnership with Ocado, declined to comment..

HONG KONG/LONDON (Reuters) - Standard Chartered PLC has unveiled plans to double returns and dividends in three years by cutting $700 million in costs and boosting income, even though the bank missed its previous targets in tough market conditions. Chief Executive Bill Winters now aims to achieve a return on tangible equity (RoTE) of at least 10 percent by 2021 despite only reaching 5.1 percent last year, short of the 8 percent by 2018 goal he set himself three years ago. StanChart, which makes most of its revenue in Asia, has seen its fortunes slump as restructuring under Winters repaired a balance sheet hit by excessive lending in the previous decade, but left the bank struggling to lift profit.

The 150-year-old group’s latest plans coincide with a risk of a slowdown in its core emerging markets due to the China-U.S, trade war as well as economic uncertainties in China and Britain, two bora bora beach sand cufflinks of its main markets, Winters on Tuesday said selling low-returning business such as ship leasing and private equity, and growing income in markets such as India and Korea, would help StanChart hit the new goals despite tougher global economic conditions, “We’ve transformed the bank over the last three years and we’re going to transform it again,” Winters said after the bank published full-year results..

StanChart shares fell 1.2 percent in London following the results, as analysts were disappointed by the bank’s full-year profit of $2.5 billion. The bank also said its 45 percent stake in Indonesia’s PT Bank Permata Tbk, valued at around $835 million, was “no longer core”, indicating a potential move towards a sale. StanChart did not elaborate on divestment plans. Top investors in the bank signaled a willingness to back Winters’ plan to tweak rather than completely overhaul StanChart’s strategy, despite the failure to hit previous goals.

“Never a quick fix,” said Hugh Young, managing director for Asia Pacific at Aberdeen Standard Investments, StanChart’s third largest shareholder, “The combination of cost containment , tidying (Permata) and revenue growth could (and hopefully will) get them back to that double digit RoTE,” he said, StanChart said it aimed to improve returns in India, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates and Indonesia, four large markets that have been a drag on its financials, accounting for 21 percent of costs but just 13 percent bora bora beach sand cufflinks of profit..
