My neighbour's cat is an analyst.

You know the saying.
“There are two types of analysts, those who don’t know and those who don’t know they don’t know”.

Interesting bbonsall
Some analyst trying to make a name

I might be wrong but, as far as I can establish, online revenue is around £10 million out of a total of around £500 million of revenue.
So homing in on that aspect and comparing us with Moonpig or Funky Pigeon to slag off CF is disengenuous. It wouldn’t matter if online revenue fell to zero! CF is a successful high street business.

As a loose guide.At 2.30pm the yanks join inIf the market's are up they bring it down.And then after our market's are shut they bring it up and end up winning and we are stuffed. Conversely if the market's are down they sometimes bring it up but not enough to be winning for us as our market's close.Also the trading volumes are huge as the yanks are massive compared to us so the trading can get very volatile and any litte thing in their news feed can affect the market's but we don't find out till later.

Did anybody else notice the share price dips across the board after around 2.30pm onward.. shares just seemed to drop in large step stages?

[casholaa] 01/2/2024 20:23

@bbonsall... what's the age-range of the analysts? lol

Haribo sweets are the key to this mastermind of a business!
How could anyone question such genius!!

CARD's FY25 has now started. You know, the one when they said they could resume paying dividends.

[bbonsall] 01/2/2024 19:13

I was reading what analysts have been saying since the update. Their negative attitude revolves around on-line performance being lack lustre/poor.
I cannot understand their focus on such a tiny fraction of revenues when CF is a successful bricks and mortar retailer with over 1000 outlets producing an excellent increase in the lions share of CF business.
Why this obsession with the insignificant fraction of CFs business? Curious, short sighted and disproportionate.

In a trading range range between low 90's and 110. With good last statement I'm in this afternoon

I just had quite a few drop some on the share price It's likely to do with the US working its way to expanding the war in the middle-east. I don't think it's the interest rates.

[peteret] 01/2/2024 16:55

They did well at Christmas it's just that the market seems to hate this share.They reported good trading and the share price dropped 8p.

[arab3] 01/2/2024 16:13

[casholaa] 01/2/2024 15:45

Valentines Day is in 13 days. That's only 2 weekends.

I tried calling the IR number which leaves me with the impression that IR is farmed out, at


Tried calling them few times but the number keeps bouncing around -ChopChopBusyBusyWorkWorkBangBang!

[casholaa] 01/2/2024 09:06

They probably didn't think it important.

[fft] 01/2/2024 07:18

Has anyone had any success contacting the company using the form they provide in the investors section on their website ?I have tried yesterday and today Both times the site tells me 'unable to send email". " Contact site administrator ".

[casholaa] 29/1/2024 13:47

Yep. I think we're all hoping for a speedy update asap upon them laying Tranch 'A' to rest.

[caveater] 29/1/2024 08:35

Hopefully some kind of update on Wednesday.

Card generates so much cash they should be substantially liquid by now. The overseas ventures are unlikely to have done more than a slight dent, otherwise a local slowdown if it happens is equally irrelevant for liquidity.

[casholaa] 25/1/2024 12:40

If they had cleared £6.6m of Tranche 'A' as of 31st July 2023, then I agree, £4.4m left but we are 6 months along... so it's either interest and other liability/costs + £4.4m or some of that £4.4m has already gone by now???

[casholaa] 25/1/2024 12:09

@sofia Forget my gibberish. I can't tell anymore. My eyes have gone. dyor etc

You were correct "At 31 July 2023, the Group had made total repayments of £6.6 million in respect of Term Loan A, and £11.8 million in respect of the CLBILs facilities. Following the balance sheet date, on 25 September 2023, the Group made the final repayments due in respect of the CLBILs facilities, which are now fully extinguished." - page 29 -i was looking at the wrong year!

I'd be hoping for an rns or press report that Tranch 'A' has gone on the 31st or soon after?
