And now the retest of 90p

[its the oxman] 27/5/2021 08:52

Back to 85-90p range seems most likely

If announcements follow previous pre covid events we should get prelim results at the end of June & possibly a trading/announcement of timing of results perhaps later this month.CRL has so far done fantastically over the last year first turning the company to manufacture sanitisers for the NHS to replace the order book that vanished at the start of covid last March then gradually rebuilding the orderbook and manage to supply the product when demand returned.Special thanks to Paul Forster who recently retired as operations director for this success.I am pleased he is remaining on the board as a non executive director.The writer has been a shareholder here since 2008.It remains my largest holding.(The shares have risen 2500%!!! and for such outstanding performance recently remain modestly priced in my opinion)

twirl- might catch 70p today, or less still next week, should this dunderheadedness continue. Is CRL worth 25% less than it was last month? Of course not! Those selling at a discount, I’m your grateful buyer.

Cheers investor109. If it gets to 70 I will get back in.

[investor0109] 14/5/2021 10:24

twirl- quite agree and was myself surprised that share price rose on news of attempted bid. A demonstration of intent and means to grow the business- positive from my perspective and perhaps market took similar stance. Some money market names taking relatively large positions this year- wager they know something.

usually announcements of acquisitions causes share price to drop. This was the case last time CRL announced an offer which subsequently fell through and the share price rose. many investors have a short term stance. Whilst applying management ability, economies of scale, profitting from a former competitor etc are welcome for long term investors it takes time to have an impact on dividends hence the share price drop on such an announcement - for most companies IMHO

You forget to mention the ~1% divi too - not massive but enough to cover transaction costs :)

[investor0109] 13/5/2021 12:28

Great buying opportunity in CRL. Profit-taking the cause of retrace, strong fundamentals remain and soon oversold. Previous results record-breaking, more expected in coming weeks and board eyeing acquisitions. Not the time to sell CRL in my view.

[this_is_me] 16/4/2021 20:20

Great share price rise continues. the lack of the chattering classes on a thread always increases the likelihood of a great investment.

lifestyle company with no bags left, and target back to 50 in short term

[its the oxman] 08/4/2021 11:58

Could pop 90p this leg up.

[investor0109] 25/3/2021 14:12

Don't usually pay Motley Fool any mind, though in this case completely agree with them on CRL: https://www.fool.co.uk/investing/2021/03/24/3-top-penny-stocks-i-might-buy-for-the-new-bull-market/

an all time high and good fundamentals, a few punters look for that sort of thing. no-one is sitting on a loss - all happy to enjoy the ride - so may not be many sellers either. I'm a long term buy and holder - I'd prefer a slower, longer ascent as I'm not good at selling! GLTAH

Its one of ST tips so may have been mentioned in his Monday alpha report for Investors Chronicle.

[carpingtris] 22/3/2021 17:01

any ideas as to what's driving this higher? not complaining!

[carpingtris] 22/3/2021 13:18

flying today!

[its the oxman] 18/3/2021 10:31

Yes , looks ready to pop 80p

[cheshire man] 08/3/2021 13:30

Good start to the week here :-)

[its the oxman] 01/3/2021 17:02

Should push on to upper 70s pretty quick now.

[this_is_me] 01/3/2021 16:56

Now above 70p again.

[its the oxman] 01/3/2021 10:16

Another push on 70p coming.

[cockerhoop] 25/2/2021 17:06

It was either/or. The vast majority of the placing and resulting dilution at IDP would not have taken place if they had agreed to a merger with CRL.

[thirty fifty twenty] 25/2/2021 16:45

yes i think it shows the steady nature of CRL not to go mad on the price. that said, i thought their initial offer was a little optimistic! i read it that they felt their own CRL shares would be >70p after their results, so that the 44p offer in shares might be closer to 50p. from what i've heard, the new guy at IDP is actually highly rated, so i'm not surprised that shareholders at IDP would rather take the 'loss all/multi-bag' ticket than the steady returns being part of CRL. i.e. why fund the new CEO at 35p (presumably believe you can get 100p back in a few years) to then bale at a 50p offer which might rise to 75p in a few years (assuming CRL share price hits 100p itself) anyway time will tell, on both CRL results and IDP CEO/ skinny tan potential etc..
