This CFD chart will give users a good guide to the M&S share price.

How to Spread Bet on Marks and Spencer? |
If you decide to speculate on companies such as M&S then one option could be to spread bet on the M&S share price.
Looking at a site like SelftradeMarkets, we can see that they are currently pricing the M&S Rolling Daily market at 391.9p - 392.5p. Therefore, an investor could put a spread bet on the M&S shares:
 Rising above 392.5p, or
 Falling below 391.9p
When making a spread bet on FTSE 350 equities you trade in £x per penny. So, if you decided to invest £4 per penny and the M&S shares move 34p then that would change your P&L by £136. £4 per penny x 34p = £136.
Rolling Daily Equities Markets
It's important to note that this is a Rolling Daily Market and so in contrast with futures markets, there is no settlement date. As a result, if your trade is still open at the end of the trading day, it just rolls over to the next trading session.
If your bet does roll over and you are speculating on the market to:
Go up - then you are usually charged a small overnight financing fee, or
Go down - then a small payment is often credited to your account
Our article Rolling Daily Spread Betting goes into more detail about Rolling Daily Markets and includes a fully worked example.
M&S Rolling Daily - Equities Spread Trading Example |
So, if you consider the spread of 391.9p - 392.5p and make the assumptions:
- You've completed your market research, and
- Your analysis suggests the M&S share price is likely to go above 392.5p
Then you may choose to buy a spread bet at 392.5p for a stake of, for the sake of argument, £10 per penny.
With such a bet you make a profit of £10 for every penny that the M&S shares push higher than 392.5p. Having said that, such a bet also means that you will lose £10 for every penny that the M&S market moves below 392.5p.
Considering this from another angle, if you buy a spread bet then your profit/loss is found by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the initial price you bought the market at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.
As a result, if after a few days the stock started to move upwards then you could choose to close your trade in order to secure your profit.
If that happened then the spread, determined by the spread betting company, might change to 402.4p - 403.0p. You would settle your position by selling at 402.4p. As a result, with the same £10 stake:
Profit = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Profit = (402.4p - 392.5p) x £10 per penny stake
Profit = 9.9p x £10 per penny stake
Profit = £99.00 profit
Speculating on equities, by spread trading or otherwise, can work against you. In this example, you wanted the share price to increase. However, it might decrease.
If the M&S share price had started to drop then you might decide to settle/close your position to stop any further losses.
If the market fell to 380.7p - 381.3p you would settle your trade by selling at 380.7p. As a result, your loss would be:
Loss = (Final Price - Opening Price) x stake
Loss = (380.7p - 392.5p) x £10 per penny stake
Loss = -11.8p x £10 per penny stake
Loss = -£118.00 loss
Note: M&S Rolling Daily spread betting price taken as of 19-Oct-12.
