Hope not bought some at 3.75p yesterday - though ADVFN has it down as ? . I think the hot summer, being stocked by Tesco will help fundamentals. Can any one advise who makes Tescos premium ice cream - is it HLL?

[jbaines] 13/7/2006 12:50

On its way to 1p.

[semaphore] 12/7/2006 12:33

Sittig on an all-timelow now.

1p on the way soon.

anyone know what is going on with 2 days of falls so that price has gone back to the lows of early this year...todays vol of 600,000+ higher than normal and the buyer of 250k at 3.62 will i am sure do well.
my problem is that I have so many dead positions that I am reluctant to buy more

I don't hold but have been following for about a year. Daily Mail did a large feature on premium brand ice cream today and HS came out of it very favourably.(no pun intended) Tom

It's a shame more places don't stock the interesting flavours - their cinnamon and cardamon ones are particularly wonderful, but hard to find even in the middle of London. I'd love to invest in this lot, as a great fan of their products, but need a bit more evidence that they can get their ice cream on to enough shelves....and this bloody weather can't be helping them much.

I saw Hill Station ice-cream in Waitrose the other day. They only had two flavours - lime and mango and vanilla bean. They were doing 2 for £5, but the shelf was full so it looks like there were no takers.

[jonc] 23/5/2006 10:53

I'll have a 99 please...

[ponty] 23/5/2006 10:39

Muntle thanks a lot i think i will buy a small holding

It depends what you mean by 'long term'.

Hill Station is the third largest Ice Cream manufacturer in the UK. It has a mix of own brands and third party manufacturing contracts. Richmond Foods (epic RFD), is the largest UK Ice Cream Manufacturer and also has a mix of own brands and third party manufacturing contracts.

Richmond floated in 1996 for £1.80 per share, and began making strategic acquisitions. Within six months the share price had halved to just under 90p. By the end of 1998 further acquisitions had been made and the share price had dropped to 60p over doubts about integration/strategy. The Company has just been sold to an overseas buyer for £182.2m, or £7.50 per share.

Hill Station floated 18 months ago at 10p a share, and has been making strategic acquisitions. The share price is now less than half of the float price due to doubts over integration/strategy.

Is history repeating itself?

DYOR, but presumably we will know in a few years time.

is this company worth investing in long term

Or they had a minute amount of stock to start with. I haven't seen it in any shop for about a year now. Not Tesco, Sainsbury, ASDA, Morrisons or Waitrose.

[hastyretreat2] 18/4/2006 17:54

I think it may rise tpp ponty

I have even seen it in Sommerfields - amazing! IT was pretty much sold out as well!

[a warm breeze] 18/4/2006 12:40

All you have is two companies that were doomed combined into one bigger company that is doomed.

[ponty] 18/4/2006 12:35

a warm breeze i think it might rise next

[a warm breeze] 18/4/2006 11:18

Time to fall even further.
