Card Factory Share Discussion Threads

Dreading next performance update….if it’s not absolutely fantastic and doesn’t knock the current fantastic update out of the park then this dog of a share is gonna be driven even lower. There’s coming a time when investors are going to just think there’s much better returns to be had out there, this unpopular share needs to be dumped. Everyone is scratching their heads and no one seems to have a plausible answer as to why this share is not improving!

And shareholders will become entitled to the same 4.5p, so pretty irrelevant!

The share price had better move up before the 30th because it will be marked down 4.5p on that day anyway.

An option would be to announce a tender offer. Say 8m GBP. People then tender xxx shares for the price they are willing to sell at. Gets rid of weak holders in one go without the drip drip drip of a multi month share buyback. If some shareholders want a liquidity event it provides that.It also allows bigger holders to apply to sell millions of shares and if they really want to offload they can put in a lower offer and get the pot !Instant EPS increase and P/E decrease for remaining shareholders and a higher yield to boot !

The xd dividend date of 30th is closing in share price will move up ahead.

A fall day will be the fifth day in a row back to pre results levels.

They would be able to exit quicker. That would be one of the benefits. They can only sell as fast as there is demand. Buybacks increase demand.

[magnets] 07/5/2024 21:02

They'd just be pushing up the price for Teleios and anyone else who wants to sell up? Where is the value in that?

[ggrantsu] 07/5/2024 19:58

how in any way at all would a buyback not be best value for shaeholders...head and shoulders above any other route of shaeholder value creation for most companies - for card it is miles ahead. we are on a PE of six vs. a UK retail sector and UK market that is probably on avg PE's of low teens/mid teens.

card is a company that has performed considerably better in terms of earnings growth / quality than the broad retail sector / uk market. a buyback would have been far far more value accretive vs. a dividend here if you believe we should even be on a 9x PE as a minimum (+50%) higher.

i can see their rationale for income funds wanting to re establish a regular progessive income yield. but they should do a buyback sooner rather than later. they clearly have a persistant seller (although impossible to tell from bloomberg)...a buyback on all counts would be the best thing to do here and not a small one.

[magnets] 07/5/2024 19:00

A buyback would help Teleios clear out faster but isn't best value for shareholders. I think it's better this way.

[crystball1] 07/5/2024 16:55

I am simply content that a dividend will be restored.

[elsa7878] 07/5/2024 16:33

They just did a very comprehensive post-results presentation and Q&A.

If they really wanted share price support they should have put in place a buyback...think that was a mistake but apparently is very much on the agenda just not yet.

I doubt Card Factory will accept the Mello invitation. As they are people that can’t even work out when a bank holiday is (it’s 27th May, not either the 22nd or 23rd) I know that I wouldn’t.

[elsa7878] 07/5/2024 16:07

This all seems a bit strange. Poster on here with broker connections said that brokers (including some that don't even cover it directly) post results roadshow were really impressed with the management, the story and how cheap it is....He also has Bloomberg access and says no change in large shareholdings yet, so this weakness is a mystery.
Very, very frustrating. Be amazed if its goes much lower now it is back in the dividend realm....
I'm keeping the faith and will add if it goes any lower.

[riverman77] 07/5/2024 15:32

Have Card accepted the invitation to Mello? I suspect not as they seem to make very little effort with retail investors.

[everton448] 07/5/2024 15:06

Truly unloved this company. Heading back to 90 pence by the looks of it

[davidosh] 06/5/2024 00:09

We have invited Card Factory to Mello2024 as I really think they need to meet individual investors and engage in person,

For the whole of this long weekend any investor buying a ticket for the *Mello2024* event will be given the bonus of being able to bring a friend or family member completely free of charge. Worth getting a friend to join with you and halving the cost maybe...

Will end at market open on Tuesday as it is a bank holiday weekend so plenty of time to connect

Mello2024 investor conference takes place on the 22nd and 23rd May Do come and join us....another six companies added to the list today and another six to be announced on Monday.

We want to keep this important face to face engagement with companies going and it has been tough since Covid as many directors just want to do webinars as their only token offering to investors. If you want to ask private questions or check out body language it is impossible on webinars and investors need to network with each other too.

Please support us and encourage companies/ management teams you are in contact with to come along to Mello2024 in Chiswick on 22nd or 23rd May

Mello2024 – Mello Events

If you have never been to one of our two day conferences before then clearly you are missing a great opportunity to engage with management teams and also network with hundreds of likeminded investors so we are offering virgin tickets at just £30 for either of the days so that you can see what it is all about.....a big discount from £99.00 and if you do not agree having spent the day with us I will give you an annual pass to our virtual shows on top. I just want investors engaging with all these quality smaller companies. This offer is only if you have never attended before so please be fair to all those who pay much more....

We should easily be seeing £1.50 now, never mind 2 years!

[longwell] 03/5/2024 07:59

Very rare for me now but I have just doubled my position. I focus on income , however the dividend gave me scope to revise my investments. Easily see 1.50 within 2 years.Look at Mitie and Rr.They are both recovering now towards pre pandemic levels.
