Any ideas why the share price has jumped at the end of trading the last few days?

[seagreen] 01/5/2015 16:34

£2.50 valuations out there...softly softly

[keifer derrin] 22/4/2015 17:08

thanks CWA1 - all the stocks i've bought before, including very small aim stock have always shown up....never had this before

oh and sorry guys - the share has dropped because I bought them......I think in future I'll warn people on the BB's before I buy give them a chance :-) lol


live long and prosper :-)

CWA

That is transparency for you!

[cwa1] 22/4/2015 16:09

Paid 169.5 at 11.37 then I reckon ;-)

There are other, smaller, exchanges out there. One of them, ISDX, has your trade:-



FWIW, there are all kinds of reasons for trades not to show either immediately, or at all. Dark pools. Multiple of NMS can mean a delay. On one of the other exchanges that don't get printed on ADVFN and, on a couple of occasions I've made trades that, for whatever reason, just simply don't turn up as far as I can tell.

Ariculture, food and engineering business Carr's Group saw its shares rise after posting good first half-year results.
Despite a decrease in revenues by 2.8% to £208.6m, the group reported a 5.4% increase in profits before tax to £10.6m, which drove earnings per share up 11.5% to 8.7p.

Chief executive Tim Davies said challenging conditions had persisted in some of its markets, including the UK, but added that the group remains on track to meet its expectations for the full year.

Its UK farm incomes declined due to a fall in the farmgate milk price, but its US agriculture operations delivered "outstanding" performance thanks to its feed block products Smartlic and Feed in a Drum.

Weak commodity prices drove food revenues lower, but flour sales volumes were higher.

The engineering division has been hurt by global political and economic conditions in some markets. Carr added that these uncertainties are expected to continue through 2015.

Investec analysts maintained their 'buy' recommendation and 196p target price and added: "A solid increase in 1H profits and a reiteration of confidence in meeting full year expectations should be well-received by the market, which has been nervous around agri company prospects.

"The group's diversity and past investment has stood it in good stead to weather the current market conditions."

Interesting results. Concentrated on their profitable businesses. They have kept to their mantra of strategic diversity. A good company to invest in difficult times with their broad spread. Do not expect them to blow the lights out on profits like last time because of engineering side but I expect that division to come through in better times. Long term story

Afternoon all.I've been in here for about a month. Looks to be a good solid company - diversification seems to sit well as once again the mild British winter meant farmers would not need to have bought additional foodstuff for their stock. I guess other parts of the business (especially US) has offset this. It looks to have a bright future.And they are raising the interim dividend too!

[broadwood] 13/4/2015 10:31

I'm a long termer too.

Bought these way back in 2011 and likely to carry on holding.

[dozey1] 13/4/2015 10:27

I'm another holder and pleasantly surprised by these results. Wonder how much the booming US dollar has boosted margins over there, since total revenues are down; that won't recur every time. Was hoping they would be able to dispose of the Engineering side for a good price. It sits uncomfortably with the agricultural side and disposal would open up the share register to those institutions who are averse to 'mini-conglomerates'. Still, happy to see an increased divi in the meantime.

yr not on yr own CW. I am invested and a regular watcher of this good solid co

[cwa1] 13/4/2015 09:31

Most welcome broadwood, delighted to see a few posters on here and learn that I'm not on my own.

Hopefully CARR can go from strength to strength and that it is perhaps picked up by a few of the tipsters and pundits to give it a slightly higher profile.

[broadwood] 13/4/2015 09:15

CWA1 - thanks for the new thread.

[cwa1] 13/4/2015 09:13

Edison have a note out. Conclusion:-

Valuation: Potential for share price appreciation
Our sum-of-the-parts analysis gives fair value at 203p/share (previously 205.5p). Triggers for share price appreciation to close the valuation gap include an improvement in farmgate milk prices (even though Carr’s is less affected by this than its peers) and additional engineering contracts, especially those relating to higher-margin work for the nuclear sector and further acquisitions.

About time this company starts shining. Convinced its a solid company but slightly concerned about the reduction in the tax estimate. Seems like they are eating into their DTA to prop up EBIT, though may be wrong.

[stevemarkus] 13/4/2015 08:42

I bought a few first thing too, as I thought the results looked very positive and like you, CWA1, thought that the FY was looking good....

Cheers,
Steve.
