Posted at 25/10/2024 08:44 by davius > Blackhorse2324 Oct '24 - 23:49 - 6898 of 6898> Overvalued stock! Could drop below 50p easy So could VOD. Here's the AI view on card, rather more intelligent than you're one liner. As of October 22, 2024, the broker consensus for Card Factory (CARD) is neutral or buy. The overall consensus recommendation for Card Factory is also buy. The median 12-month price target for Card Factory PLC is 175.00, with a high estimate of 200.00 and a low estimate of 125.00. Card Factory's H125 revenue growth demonstrates that it is delivering well against its multi-year growth strategy. Management is confident Card Factory will achieve its full-year estimates. Peel Hunt Limited indicated a 26.3% potential upside for Card Factory PLC. |
Posted at 20/10/2024 20:04 by peddlers Obviously H1 profitability is down a bit (a hike in operating costs) but if the boards guidance is unchanged then they are obviously confident of strong H2 earnings (H2 weighting+), so on a forward PE of c. 6x they are rather cheap IMO. I personally think that the H1 figures (plus the doubt around the higher level of income required to meet full year guidance) are now priced in. If they do manage to meet expectations then there should be a marked increase in price. How will CARD realise a better H2 performance than H1? Well, historically H2 is always stronger than H1. In terms of percentage of full year results - 2024 operating profit ( H1 37% Vs H2 63%); So, for 2025 it's going to be 27% Vs 73% to meet expectations (Edison). So, the question then becomes, how is CARD going to realise a higher than normal H2? They have a few good initiatives. I like some of them - Partnerships, strategy to open additional stores, labour optimisation, a focus on removing non value adding activities (sounds like a classic Lean waste reduction effort). On CARDs efficiency campaigns & productivity drives, these initiatives can take time to come to fruition, but I am confident (having adopted them myself in the past) that these initiatives will be having a positive affect on H2 profit margins. At these levels, I'm happy to build my position in the run up to FY earnings. I have a short-term target of about £1.20 and a longer-term target (depending on the market) to be closer to £2. That, along with the dividend (goes ex dividend at the of month), and the daily chart indicating that CARD is in oversold territory makes me feel rather comfortable to hold, and to potentially add more; between now and the next few months. |
Posted at 08/10/2024 09:21 by brucie5 I note the fall from my 97 buy in and have duly added this morning. I have a bit more spare should it continue down to 90p, where I think everyone and his dog is expecting support to kick in. Of course it's another story if 90p breaks; though assuming the reinstated dividend is sustainable that might just make it another crazy value opportunity. Meantime let's not forget Edison's 1.80 moved to £2 target price, in which they say;"We believe Card Factory’s valuation multiples continue look very attractive relative to the peers below, given we expect higher revenue growth than the peer average/median and higher levels of profitability. It also offers a superior dividend yield." In the meantime CARD receives the Greenblatt Magic formula on Stocko (where it is a 'superstock') sharing some interesting company, among which RCH, SQZ & SNWS I hold, while several others are in my universe (PAY, ITV, SOM). In my experience you can also judge a share according the company it keeps. ;) |
Posted at 28/9/2024 14:56 by bountyhunter I buy all my cards at Card Factory. To be honest if I hadn't read thay their cheapest card is 59p here and I found it to be 69p or even 79p I wouldn't have even given it a second thought. They need to raise their prices to cover minimum wage inflation as they would still be the cheapest on the High Street and it would make a significant difference to profits. I doubt that you would find a single card at MoonPig or Clinton's for under 99p with their cheapest cards likely to be well in excess of Card Factory prices. |
Posted at 26/9/2024 21:51 by actscap Worth just recapping on Darcy's track recordNo equity raise No equity raise following COVID aftermath when most would have caved. Culture change Progressing a successful culture turnaround at CARD. E.g. voted one of top big companies to work for. Data drivenHis tenure at cost cutter saw data driven transformation leading to 20% sales increase. Interested to see how this plays out with the 'good, better, best' price levers and operational stock management etc. at CARD. Customer ledHe's shifted CARD from being product led to customer led. E.g. better customer experience (improved tidy stores, click and collect, improved product mix, etc.). Partnership successNotable progress in partnerships, particularly Aldi and forthcoming US opportunity. Related |
Posted at 26/9/2024 07:59 by haroldthegreat I pass a Card Factory shop whenever I leave my house and I also retail cards . Their shops are bright ,clean and tidy . I feel they make a marketing mistake in putting their name on their cheapest cards . They have been doing more cut price deals this year like 3 plus one free across the board as opposed to just on specific sections and for longer . Everyone knows they sell cheap cards but does one really want to send someone a card that says on the back I am a cheapskate and purchased you a cheap.card at Card Factory? For childrens cards it does not matter . They should use another brand name on their cheapest cards .These more generous offers must have helped reductions in their profit margins . |

Posted at 24/9/2024 09:55 by caveater Most of my family are local so never post any cards. My local Card Factory shop is quite a large one in a busy indoor shopping centre. They are really expanding the gifts and toys and are always busy. Contrary to what's been said about the cheap price of cards, the shop I go into aren't full of cheap cards, you are hard pressed to find a 59p one now, some are 99p and most are 1.49, but many are 2.00 and above now too, and I have had the opposite concern that maybe they are going too high too quickly and maybe pricing themselves out of what's been their core market (maybe deliberately moving upmarketish) . There is a Clintons nearby that is never busy, but Asda & Sainsbury nearby sell cards and aren't that more expensive than most of Card Factory's. |
