Let's see how the brokers do with their forecasts:Peel Hunt - 125p target, 14.1p eps, 38.4m non lease debtInvestec - 180p target, 13.8p eps, c35m non lease debt (calculated)Liberum - 175p target, 13.4p eps, 29.8m non lease debtIf they announce a divi I would hope to see the price well above 125p but may be tempered by Teleios share sales - they would be better off letting the price rise before selling.

Lets just all hold until the city Boys wake up and realized they have missed the boat.

That made me laugh. I think she's long since past her poster days. Perhaps 30 years past

Sales up 10%!? Leave your todger alone and take the Cindy Crawford poster down.

[s34icknote] 29/4/2024 14:59

Just interested in debt figures !And sales rising 10 percent !

No chance of dividend imo but a statement iterating that they intend to pay one this year looks the best we can hope for

well...big day tomorrow chaps. they are going to have to come out with something which shows the mgmt team believe this is undervalued IMO ie buybacks IMO.

reasonable trading and a dividend reintroduction are obviously good, but i think this needs a further boost like so many other UK companies recently for which buybacks have really boosted share price performance. particularly important with card given potential selling dynamics of certain large shareholders.

come on team - give us a kitchen sink approach RNS which wakes this thing up. no one has any incentive for this not to be the case!!!

Typical Card for this to finish red. So strange how unloved it is.

[1224saj] 29/4/2024 10:44

That is unfortunate, what their holding at the moment

[hardupfedup] 29/4/2024 10:16

any price rise is going to be mitigated in the short term by (Teleios)if he is still selling down

[1224saj] 29/4/2024 09:33

No leakage of the results tomorrow then?

[grahamytrain] 29/4/2024 09:20

Thought it would be much higher than this bearing in mind it did reach 116 briefly not that long ago. No mention of dividend startup I guess else that would have leeked and we would be at 10% higher now.

This share is one of those Gems you buy and lock away.Will grow for years and make you a fortune in the background. Few and far between so need it to stay low a while longer while I accumulate more.

Card not only have high quality merch. Note the Haribo sweets and must have Teddy Bears, pencils and the like: but their website is second to none.

Undervaluation is not confined to Card though, its across the small co sector.
We need lower interest rates and ironically probably mild recession with falling prices to boost the sector.

The market will be when dividends start rolling in.

[everton448] 26/4/2024 15:06

In January the price dropped circa 10% on strong results having risen into the news. Makes you wonder what will happen on Tuesday. Could be below 90 even on very good news. The market just is not interested in this company.

[beachbum1978] 26/4/2024 12:42

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story :-)

[casholaa] 26/4/2024 12:29

Pigs don't fly -lol

[bbonsall] 26/4/2024 12:09

Perhaps they are rotating into CARD. Maybe why the share price is still being held down to help them pre results.

[beachbum1978] 26/4/2024 08:51

City snobs are obsessed with Tech. If they actually went out into the real world outside of London they might actually notice things like CARD, take it in, look around, observe.

A third if not half the inside of the stores are gifts and other celebration items now with higher margins and growing basket price. I actually thing their 'Brand Name' doesn't do it justice anymore. Suggests just 'cards'

However with a growing online presence as well the future is very bright. I wouldn't even class MOON as a serious competitor, they have an online ceiling IMO.

Over a 1000 stores, with a virtually integrate production and distribution, and growing online presence, it's no wonder the big boys dumped £25m of MOON shares yesterday.
