Agriculture, food and engineering group Carr's Milling posts strong first half results but warns full year figures will be appreciably lower.

Interim revenues rose 8% to $£174.5m with pre-tax profits up 2% at £5.3m with strong underlying trading in all major areas, with the exception of fertilisers, more than offsetting a £0.4m increase in the pension charge.

But it says the fertiliser market has become more difficult in terms of both volumes and prices and the group now anticipates, for fertilisers, a substantial adverse variance to budget for the full year.

The board expects pre-tax profits for the year to 29 August will be appreciably lower than last year's underlying figure, reflecting mainly the weakness in fertiliser but also the impact of the increased retirement benefit charge.

[limit up] 30/3/2009 21:23

What a combination!!

[honiton] 05/1/2009 16:06

agm and trading update due tomorrow.

[manrobert] 07/11/2008 09:15

surprising no buyers anticipating what should be very good results on monday.

[aleman] 05/11/2008 10:45

The collapse in oil turned the argument. Biofuels are uneconomic without subsidies. There is plenty of food. They only planted a bit more wheat this year and the price collapsed. Most fields still haven't been ploughed up. I don't believe anything politicians say. You can tell if they are lying - their lips move.

[iomhere] 05/11/2008 09:15

aleman 54 of 58.
Isn't the bio-fuel argument critical? I understand there's been a change of direction. Originally the view was that with dear and scarce oil, crops should be converted into a fuel source. Then the consequent rise in food prices with the threat of mass starvation appears to have turned that argument round. However, longer term, many in the developing world will eat more and allowing for fluctuations grain should become increasingly valuable.

[manrobert] 05/11/2008 09:02

bt a few on monday at 494.the spread is a bit daunting but trading update was very positive so hope next monday's results bring a good response.

[dylanl] 04/11/2008 20:28

Thinking of getting back in tomorrow, anyone else tempted?

[grigor] 22/10/2008 21:33

2008 wheat crop up 33% according to latest figures

[weemonkey] 09/10/2008 15:08

the thing is that the wheat price dropping has just bought them a little more margin that is all.

they will know how to manage their prices alongside the grain prices with very great effect

It is all to the good IMHO

[aleman] 05/9/2008 13:12

I like this company and have been monitoring it for some time. I would probably have bought some in the spring if I had more cash available at the time but now I am a little concerned about the sharp drop in the wheat price to a level 10% below 12 months ago. (Gas is also down 10% yet TV tells us food and energy are rocketing - what is going on?. There is a lesson there about media scaremongering - we were all supposed to starve and freeze. They always have an agenda so do not trust them and do your own research online.) I shall continue to monitor and I wish you good luck.

Yep, the forecast for this year was 78.9p but only for 73.9 next year. They are gaining market share though.

Investec recommends buy - target 700p. Work that one out!

[bench2] 05/9/2008 09:55

£12.5m PTP = 105p EPS, Current PER 6.5 on price of 680p. But has CRM been in the middle of the opposite of "a perfect storm" it feels as though everything has gone right inc fertiliser and seed prices. Soft commod prices heading down so mkt is worried that these are peak earnings.Any thoughts?
