It's only a couple of months. Don't forget to buy your Xmas cards at CF in the meantime :)

Wait till January? Might get them for 70p then !

Bought a card on Sunday in the Kidderminster store 15p. How do they pay their overhead?

[bountyhunter] 13/11/2024 14:06

Additional Aldi & Matalan sales could help H2, among other factors such as the US and seasonal sales. We may need to wait until early January for the next significant news however (seasonal update)?

Still lots of scepticism around CF after the horrendous drop in share price Think most are keeping their powder dry before they commit again and need to hear from the horses mouth what their plan is going forward. Even then many will sell into any rise to mitigate their recent considerable paper losses. And if no news materialise then this will simply drift even lower.

Yes ADF.PLC

[chester9] 12/11/2024 14:26

It's poor ADF came out with what people suspected today and got hammered. Card need to follow their own time lines. I am not worried about employers NI. If you are the cheapest then everyone else's costs will go up the same or more than yours. You maintain your competitive edge. News Darcey and Matthias is overdue. Hopefully we continue to expect the same outcomes we did just 7 weeks ago. Sadly most are not convinced.

[grahamytrain] 12/11/2024 14:17

Still no news……about anything or nothing.

[monet] 11/11/2024 15:55

I see MW slightly reduced their short position last week.

[grahamytrain] 11/11/2024 15:46

Yes but it’s still nice to have a good relationship with your investors, who own the company, and keep them abreast of developments within the company.

The PR machine is not there to keep shareholders happy and the share price up ^^^ unless of course there is a rights issue approaching.

PR - If applicable is to boost the sales of cards.

[grahamytrain] 11/11/2024 12:54

Are we ever going to get any positive news from this company. Their PR machine is woefully inadequate!!!

[grahamytrain] 07/11/2024 21:26

There’s not a lot of positive news that Card Factory can release really as the most lucrative period of the year has yet to occur. Good news from USA/AUS would be welcomed but this adventure is in its infancy really so doubt there’ll be much news coming out about that. Hoping for something positive to reignite this share but not holding my breath.

[premium beeks] 07/11/2024 18:30

It better do, after my last few weeks. Or Xmas is cancelled in the Beeks household, indefinitely!

[bountyhunter] 07/11/2024 18:26

Good to see this heading up today, hopefully a recovery has commenced.

[bbonsall] 07/11/2024 17:49

It has been time to buy for a couple of years!

[car1pet] 07/11/2024 15:50

Price up today is it time to buy?

[amt] 06/11/2024 22:45

Well if they the share price will likely double. Pondering whether to double up or is it down.

[amt] 06/11/2024 22:43

So with 2 months to go management still say they will meet target then ?

[grahamytrain] 06/11/2024 17:55

Berenburg forecast was from July 2024 when share price was at 96p....they bloody got that so wrong didn't they. Blundy buying more or heaven forbid the directors putting their hands in their pockets and buying some shares might move this dog a bit but at the moment its sadly heading in one direction. So many were burnt at 144 that any reasonable increase will be sold into to recoup big losses many here are experiencing.

[omron] 06/11/2024 09:56

Analysts comment: "Card Factory's 40% share price drop since the interim results in late September appears far too punitive to us. Some negative reaction to the reported H1 2025 profit decline yoy is understandable, and we acknowledge the more stretching 22%/78% H1/H2 profit weighting, which is now required to meet full-year expectations. That said: i) H1 was in line with management's expectations, and it had previously guided to a greater-than-normal H2 profit weighting; and ii) there has been no change to full-year guidance. We believe that the group can achieve its full-year expectations.

Berenberg resumes coverage on Card Factory with a price target of 154p.
