CAM have to resolve Kakuzi problem sooner rather than later.

Camellia is a wealthy company despite its losses and could easily pay a dividend. Perhaps it is in the interest of the board to keep the share price low.

Bardsley was a debacle and so was Abbey a few years ago that suffered a fire, lost its market share in aerospace treatments and was nearly written off, being sold for a very small sum...yet the Directors continue to pick up enormous income>

Just caught up with the results.

Really poor performance in Agriculture, capped by the Bardsley disaster, which they speak about, as if it's nothing to do with their own dire decision-making on capital allocation. They've learnt nothing from the Bardsley purchase.


They are still intent on selling BF & M, which is the jewel in the tarnished crown. The most profitable part of the conglomerate.

Even better, 34adsaddsa, than share buybacks, would be returning all cash from the BF & M sale to shareholders. Shareholders are highly likely to use the cash more wisely than Camellia management. Share buybacks is the second best option. Please no further idiotic acquisitions.

I think the problem is the core agricultural product is tea,mainly in Bangladesh & India.It is very difficult to make a profit tea prices have not kept up with cost increases for years presently it is very difficult in Bangladesh with huge inflation for low paid workers.I don't think there are buyers for the plantations and even if they are I doubt if they are anywhere near book price and I think the company has a duty to its employees to ensure any buyer is reputable & has the ability to maintain at least present conditions.The company has been operating here for 150 years.It is rather more difficult than selling a farming estate in the Cotswolds

I had hoped that the company would sell off its surplus assets;Bermuda,Linton Park etc and deploy these assets profitably which would justify a higher than present price but I now have my doubts....

The share price has halved in the last 5 years and is nowhere near the NAV. They should increase the dividend to try and improve the share price

Share price continues to fall. No good news on the horizon.

From todays gloomy trading update it is difficult to see what agricultural product anybody would want to invest £100m spare cash in!Over the years my most profitable agricultural related investments have been & continue to be the supply of requirements to farmers.That is to say companies like NWF & Wynnstay which I have held many years.

Looking at CAMs share price chart over recent years even after the recent modest rise,shorting it would have been probably more profitable although I doubt if it would be possible or likely that anyone would have bothered.

Although I have been aware of the company for years I only started investing in it recently when the shares fell below £50 as a potential asset play/value investment.

Hello Arthur and others,

Well, having sold BF & M, which has occasionally contributed handsomely to profitability, they are going to find it increasingly difficult to be profitable. A bunch of low margin agri companies is never going to be a huge profit generator.

Their understanding of risk is incorrect, to put it mildly. Yes, the results of certain sorts of insurance companies like BF and M are VOLATILE, but volatility isn't the same as RISK, particularly if you have a well-capitalised company like CAM that can survive across the insurance cycle.

Of course, tiredoldbroker, we all know that ANY significant asset sale at or above book value is (apparently) positive for shareholders, given the huge discount from TBV to market cap. I can't believe there is a single shareholder here who's bought the Company on the basis of its tight run profitable operations. We are all awaiting asset sales and BF & M's was well-signposted.

Likewise for opposite reasons, any asset purchase is a clear negative for CAM shareholders, unless at a huge discount to the acquired companies' asset value. This is compounded by the fact the management have demonstrated an outstanding inability at valuing potential acquisitions. The English apple company was a disaster waiting to happen.

That is why I say any asset sale is "apparently" positive for shareholders. It depends what they do with the 80m. It should be simply given back to shareholders as a return of capital.

Unfortunately, a significant part of it is likely to be wasted pursuing the high-risk, low return strategy of "diversifying" in the agricultural sector. This is not diversification; it's throwing good money after bad.

Forgive me being dyspeptic, given the decent price realised for BF & M. I'd be far happier if they'd flogged off some of the hopeless unprofitable agri companies.
