To my dismay you are right (as usual!) |
Recovering well after a bumpy period. Recent trading update provided higher degree of optimism than had been the case.... |
This looks horribly overvalued to me. |
Thanks jbWhat happened to the recycling trial with McDonalds?DD |
The growth part of the business in the last few years has been Technical Fibre Products. (TFP). They do break out some numbers for TFP in the accounts.
TFP are in a number of areas involving composites, fuel cells, areospace e.t.c. It's not clear to me if the growth has been in one particular area or if it's broadly based. Does anyone know?
It's early days on the paper packaging business James Cropper 3D Products.
Can they make money recycling paper cups? I can see that recycled cups are a resource for the paper mill, but I've no idea of the economics of the business. Anyone any idea?
I have a small holding here I'm only a penny punter. I'm holding because of the growth in the TFP business. |
Looks like 50p eps for year end, so a PE of 35 for a zero growth stock...seems high to me. |
See hxxp://www.jamescropper.com/collection/coffee/ |
Recent discussions about applying a tax to one use plastics may be helping at moment. Businesses may start to look for alternatives and cropper could be well placed.... |
Good strong rebound in price on back of interims - expect steady rise on back of continuing TFP progress and hopefully new 3D products... |
So mark now owns nearly 20% |
I think one thing that's quite positive is how quiet this board is! These are not shares that are being ramped. I'm not too concerned about the recent pull-back - same with a fair few high PE shares. Most of our investment is for the IHT relief available for my Mum - although I'd look to hold after that's no longer an issue.
I like the TFP growth and am intrigued re the new division. |
It's over 12 years ago since I was taken on a tour of the Cumbria plant and saw the tfp section. Today's result demonstrate how prescient they were 20% growth geared toward s fuel cells. It's very positive |
Well Im back in, fingers crossed a few more people have the same idea. |
I'm here for the tfp which doesn't use pulp |

Correct it is going up by 5.1% per annum because of demand for paper based packaging, which I would say is a good thing for Cropper.
All the best
In 2011, the pulp and paper industry experienced the highest price point in more than 30 years. The industry had an inflationary trend that experts projected would last through 2011, but in 2015 the record price climbed past the previous peak. Yet again, we are seeing high pulp and paper prices and the question remains, when will pulp and paper prices finally stabilize, or will this inflationary trend continue? Well, according to IBISWorld, the price of wood pulp is forecasted to rise even further at an annualized rate of 5.1% in the two years to 2019. One factor driving the current price increase is supply not being able to keep up with the growing demand for paper-based packaging products. |
Over on the ACRL thread (I do not hold) there is comment about a recent sharp rise in the price of pulp. Maybe this has triggered the sell off? |
Toyin - I guess that must rule out staff cashing in SAYE stock just released or similar type programme.Bizarre move tho' |
You are dead right I think the market makers are probably happy to see it pull back I'm a very long term shareholder so happy to sit it out. Mark croppers recent buy would give one a lot of hope |
hybrasil, I was one of them. I topsliced *just* after the peak at 32% profit, and when it dropped about 7% i sold the rest. I didnt want to see all my profits walk after a long build as I had happen with PRV.
Happy to get back in at the right price of course! |
No problem bamboo2.
All the best |
toyin, thank you for sharing.
Price has fallen below 200sma. |
Had email from company saying no idea why its happened but are watching it.
All the best. |
