You might find the odd one slipped in here or there. |
Been joing you over the past couple of days Cambium, thanks for the heads up - even in a recession we all like a sausage!
Cracking long term earnings growth here - too good to be trading on this low PE.

Cranswick said its first-half pretax profit rose 16% on higher revenues and lifted its interim dividend by 10% to 6.5p.
For the half-year ended September 30th, the Yorkshire-based food producer said pretax profit was £18m, versus £15.5m a year earlier, as sales grew 22% to £303.2m.
The company said the increase in sales was entirely organic growth notwithstanding the sale of the animal feed business in May and the acquisition of DeliCo in November 2006.
Sales in the food business at £285.1m accounted for 94% of total sales, it added. |
At least someone else agrees with me
CWK Panmure Gordon Buy 788.00p 940.00p - Reiteration |
Im happy with that |
Well, I dont want to speak too soon (we have had one or two false dawns recently) but this is looking quite encouraging - lets see if we can keep the share price above 800 now. |
 LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Cranswick PLC climbed in midmorning deals as it
said its first-half performance has been positive and in line with its
expectations, prompting Panmure Gordon to keep its 'buy' rating on the stock.
At 9.11 am, shares in Cranswick were 29-1/2 pence higher at 785, while the
FTSE small cap index was up 4.60 at 3,820.00.
Earlier today, the Yorkshire-based food producer said sales in the six
months to Sept 30 rose 22 pct with most of its product categories delivering
double digit growth, offsetting the additional costs experienced as a result of
foot and mouth disease and the start-up of its new business at Delico.
Cranswick said cash flow from operating activities continues to be strong
enabling significant investment in new production facilities without increasing
borrowings.
In reaction, Panmure Gordon noted that the strong momentum at Cranswick has
continued, with revenue growing by 22 pct in the first half, despite tougher
competition and poor simmer weather.
Profit growth is expected to come in at around 15 pct, said the broker, with
margins held back by foot and mouth disease and start up costs at Delico, the
producer of pre-packed cooked meats it acquired.
Panmure Gordon, whose target price on the stock is 880 pence, said the
company is on target to exceed its full-year forecast of 17 pct growth, adding
that it believes the shares offer good value on a price earnings ratio of 13.7x
to March 2008, with Cranswick also having strong cash generation. |
you did well, well done, |
Yep. Within ISA account. |
Quick PEG of 0.6 porkingly cheap |
you back in MT |

....Cashflow from operating activities continues to be strong enabling significant

That'll do nicely ;o)

There you go MT.Glass............
The source was just one store after all. Pretty much confirming that the whole thing was down to Morrison's own dirty lack of food hygiene in that one particular store, as posted earlier.
No new cases of foot and mouth so that's all over too. It never came anywhere near Cranswick's interests anyway. All major supermarkets say it hasn't affected sales at all and that meat sales in general have been excellent over the summer. EU meat ban has been lifted and UK animal movement ban was lifted ages ago.
And....the sun is shining!
Therefore it's business as usual, not that it was ever any different! So why is the share price still 16% down??? Come on pants wetters, it's a bargain!
Sales are up 25%!!! The company is growing, so should the sp! |
Yep......at these silly prices it would be rude not to :-)
18% down since the bullish trading statement at the end of July.....and all because of a few "what if's....."
It won't be long before the penny drops and the punters are falling over themselves to be part of a genuine success story. |
keep buying lmdp :o) |
Just a bit sick of people panicking over the weather first, then foot and mouth, now E-coli. None of which should impact on CWK. But still the share price has been marked down on a few panic sells. Sometimes people need to have it drilled into them ;-)
I have a lot of respect for this company. They are doing the right things and moving in the right direction, but the share price isn't because of stuff that is not their concern. Hopefully we'll see the share price bounce after all this false panic has died down
Don't forget sales are up 25%! |
errr... I tink we get the picture, LMDP. You sure you don't want to run all that a few more times?
