 Once a dependable darling of the FTSE 100, Croda International has lately found itself in less than radiant form. The chemicals giant, known for supplying the ingredients behind everything from lipsticks to lubricants, has seen its share price take a bruising, as macroeconomic wobbles and sector-specific headwinds have cast a long shadow over its growth strategy. However, in the midst of this downturn comes a potentially rejuvenating development – a partnership with SkinBioTherapeutics and its flagship skincare technology, SkinBiotix®. Our sister Substack has an extensive company archive.
The Strategic Partnership
In 2019, SkinBioTherapeutics signed a commercial agreement with Croda’s Sederma unit, marking its first major deal. This partnership validates SkinBioTherapeutics’ innovative technology and offers Croda a unique opportunity to enhance its Consumer Care division, which constitutes a significant part of its business. The SkinBiotix® platform utilises lysates derived from probiotic bacteria to promote skin health, emphasising barrier protection, wound healing, and anti-ageing benefits.
The Science of SkinBiotix: Substance Over Skincare Spin
At the core of this commercial surge is SkinBiotix®, SkinBioTherapeutics’ proprietary technology that harnesses the power of probiotic-derived lysates. Unlike traditional probiotic skincare—which relies on live bacterial cultures—this lysate technology delivers biochemical signals that enhance skin barrier function, hydration, and overall resilience. This approach sidesteps concerns about probiotic stability and viability, a common criticism of live-culture formulations.

Apologies in advance. This will trigger the trolls.
BTW, Canonlybeone and Putinaire are the same person. They attack anything they can link back to TW due to his bear case for the frauds they pump. |
Interesting

Can change of course. Anything can but it's not showing a thought of it for now.
2700s may be best for bulls pre financials so it has a chance. I think above it into financials, would be a rough open for sure |
#Fuji99 - very interesting move down on Friday, I have been half expecting/waiting for it to break 3000 pence, now where is support..? see where we are on new ISA day, it could be getting close to time to start building a position here for the safe, progressive dividends now paying 3.8%..
2024 - GBP260.0M adjusted profit before tax..
2025 - expected group adjusted profit before tax between 265M and 295M at constant currency
With 6,000 employees and the new NICS hike to 15% has got to hurt margins..? |
First time it drops below £30 for the last 10 years.
Support should be within £28 - £29 level if it doesn't recover soon.
Otherwise the next stop will be around £25 - £26. |
Still it’s doing ok this afternoon |
it's now down nearly 10% post the distribution area of earnings day high.
Well, that's the 12 month outlook trading that. Not great. not sure what anyone expects to change markets mind prior to the next audited report
A bit harder to blag on RNS's in these stocks, and to engage investors via proactive investors and co loool |
Anything above 1400s is really of no interest to funds imo. So, demotion and then see what they think there...would be the 2025 outlook |
2700's/600s will determine that
Next stop |
Well, looks like most of the world has been reducing CRDA for years. And now only uncertainty ahead on outlooks. Demotion is a strong possibility. Only needs to fail finding funds at one more lower block, and demotion is highly likely in the future |
Not a nice finish today how ever
😀 |
Nice finish by CRODA again...
Something brewing? |
I don't really short stocks as I hold for the long term and as netcurtains said for the dividend.
But when geopolitics are not clear as we are now, I have a tendency to reduce my positions - just in case there is major correction to buy back cheaper. |
Got stopped a short while back -21.
net etc comments SBTX? Why not take a 2nd look?
Repeat short at 3207, tight rope but no stop this time.
Trying to short SBTX also, takers? |
fuji99: Against that view you DEFINITELY lose between 8% to 10% if you sell FTSE100 stuff like LGEN, MNT, PHNX ABDN as they pay monster dividend yields...
Shares tend to come back up again but once you've lost the dividend you cant get it back.... |
IMO it's impossible to disconnect from the US as no stock will hold in any recession tsunami. |
Re lite on equities...
Surely all anyone need do is see if Trump or any of his mates go LONG or SHORT on any stocks / indicies... |
Since the arrival of Trump there is uncertainty all over the world for the equity markets and businesses in general.
Share price volatility depends on how company revenues are tied up to the US and the dollar.
However if there is a recession in the US because of Trump policies, it doesn't matter as everything will go down regardless.
Until things clarify, everything will be on a rough ride for a while.
IMO it's better to be light on equities for a while. |
obviously that would be from a normal investor perspective. re nothing doing. The + and - % days in there mean nothing , unless trading maybe |
Nothing has changed here since Feb 26th. Still as expected/envisaged |
Croda is a great company but the world is held hostage by Trump disastrous policies.
IMO the feeling of unease everywhere is due to the direction the new America of Trump is taking.
So if a recession is triggered by his bully cow-boy actions in the US, the rest of the world will suffer too.
With China not looking so good and being almost cut from Europe and the US, Trump has to rely now on the Russian economy ...
So any future share price trend won't be specific to any stock but to the state of the world economy after Trump actions. |
Croda appears to want to rise...... |
Croda appears to want to rise..... |
