Can't someone start a bid rumour? Seems the only way to get the value here recognised

Still accumulating, I see this as a great opportunity to provide the income I need but capital growth as well.Hopefully I will have redoubled my holding before it's back above 1.10.

As I said the other day. Even if CARD FY result turns out to be an EPS of 10p instead of 15p it is still worth a share price of £2.
For example Moonpig EPS is 10p and its share price is well over £2

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. Relatedhttps://www.pgbuzz.net/card-factorys-ceo-darcy-willson-rymer-makes-top-100/#:~:text=Card%20Factory's%20ceo%20Darcy%20Willson%2DRymer%20makes%20top%20100%20%7C%20PG%20Buzzhttps://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/card-factory-appoints-costcutter-supremo-as-its-new-ceo-3074601

Yes, amazing how sentiment can change. It was worth 1.60 to 2 quid at the start of the week, we have a badly received but essentially in line statement and now it is worth sub a quid!Investors so fickle, no wonder people lose so much money. But I can't talk, now underwater by holding!

Should get a technical bounce soon though. Not to mention a 5% dividend in a month, which will attract some new investors and traders shortly, IMO.
The BOD's should have put their hands in their pockets and bought a few by now though. Not like they get paid in cards and balloons :) GLA.

Yep - could go lower given that when earnings were 14 pence it traded at 89 and now the market is not convinced that 14 pence will be achieved. I hold but the market sees to have lost all confidence.

Working tax credits are being phased out now and being absorbed into Universal Credit. You missed out those vital public sector workers Civil Servants, who incidentally run the company, albeit from home…..and yes those dinosaur baby boomers, who did such out of date things like saving for things they couldn’t afford now, yes they have benefited from the several past property booms, but again a less responsible generation would have remortgaged several times and spent their collateral only to then have their properties repossessed by the banks. This generation want it all now whatever the cost and that’s why personal debt is way out of control yet again, just as per the financial crisis back in 2008.

I agree. So, get rid of working tax credits, cut the public sector headcount down to what it only ever should have been in the first place (namely front line doctors, nurses, teachers, police officers, firemen and bin men etc and a small amount of managers and administrators to oversee these operations and services) - and let the market decide on wage levels in the private sector, as has been the case for most of history.
Or we can continue on the current path and see the whole thing collapse anyway.
There is no path that avoids some pretty significant pain in the short to medium term. Not this deep into the quagmire.
But the radical roll back is the least worst option and is also the best option, for the future health and prosperity of our civilisation.
But do not worry, I have little doubt that the current path is how things will continue to play out. Throwing the current young, and yet to be born, British people under the bus, in order to continue the various ponzi schemes that only benefit those smart enough to have been born many years ago.

There’s no good reason why low paying businesses should be subsidies by taxpayers - low margin businesses won't exist then and that would lead to more unemployment.

That is all well and good to say, but if government spending had not been so irresponsible for decades, then we would not have such an ominous debt pile to service, from an ever shrinking private sector (the one that actually pays the bills), compounded by an ever more bloated public sector.
Most of which provides little to no value to society, while acting almost exclusively as a net cost.
Regulations on business, which increase almost every year, also cost those enterprises money. As does weak law and order. Theft (or shrinkage, as seems to be the preferred term these days) is another notable burden, especially for retailers.
Sooner or later, the combination of these factors, if left unaddressed, will mean that very few businesses will be able to survive. Which will be terrible for the consumer and even worse for the employees of today and tomorrow.
I agree with you about not bailing out poorly managed outfits. I was one of very few people that I knew at the time who would not have bailed out the banks during the GFC.
But I think you fail to look at, or perhaps understand, some of the important nuances of economics and capitalism (when allowed to exist freely).
That is not a swipe at you, to be clear. But it is a common misunderstanding that is all too prevalent among the current political classes IMO.

IMHO CARD should go up to 69p/card min.
A pitch of "Last week @ 69p", followed by 79p.

IMHO they need to ensure profits to engage in further plans.
Selling prices in shops so low that a few margin increases
would'nt harm CARD's sales.
It would do a lot for profits, tho'.

I agree with Greyingsurfer. A business should have a business plan in which the workforce is paid fairly and it needs to manage the business accordingly. If it can't make a profit then it shouldn't exist. Taxpayers should not bail out poorly managed businesses. I'm sure CARD can increase the price of its cards to pay fair wages and make a profit for investors. My wife buys all her cards from Card factory and would still buy if prices went up by 5%

Our economy suffers from far too many being paid at rates below what they can live on, so their wages have to be supplemented by in work benefits, which have to be paid for by taxpayers. There's no good reason why low paying businesses should be subsidies by taxpayers

First half 2025 earnings released: EPS: UK£0.03 (vs UK£0.056 in 1H 2024)
First half 2025 results:
EPS: UK£0.03 (down from UK£0.056 in 1H 2024).
Revenue: UK£233.8m (up 5.9% from 1H 2024).
Net income: UK£10.5m (down 45% from 1H 2024).
Profit margin: 4.5% (down from 8.7% in 1H 2024). The decrease in margin was driven by higher expenses.
Revenue is forecast to grow 7.4% p.a. on average during the next 3 years, compared to a 5.5% growth forecast for the Specialty Retail industry in the United Kingdom.

Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 54% per year but the company’s share price has only increased by 26% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings growth.

It may drift slower now awaiting labour budget end of month. Minimum wage sat at £11.44 but there is a wide range of forecasts for what it may be up to £12.39 with consensus at £11.89 but it depends what source you read. Given the HY results this is now a key focus I would say.
