Dairy Crest Share Discussion Threads

With the shares now at 642 it is nice to be right for once-and I topped up at 605 on the way back up.
Dairy Crest had the highest growth of all the food stocks that reported recently.It looks like a safe haven in todays nervous markets awaiting global meltdown !

Now that the placing is out of the way I expect the share price will recover from todays 590 after yesterdays 40p fall.

In the papers, the Guardian says that France's Groupe Lactalis has held detailed talks with Dairy Crest over a possible £800m takeover.

The French dairy company is considering an all-cash bid of about 630p pence a share for Dairy Crest, whose brands include Cathedral City cheese and Country Life butter, but no agreement has been reached and Lactalis may still walk away.

this is beyond me! the share price is up and down like a brides nightie!! Does anyone know why it fluctuates so much?

As expected they are closing the Midland site

On face value doesn't seem a fantastic deal, but if margins converge to that of dairy crest (7.8%) after cost savings, the £20m price tag will deliver £7m of profits rather than £0.5m

for a short?? See they have bought Starcross as well that is getting towards a national network.

[mattycraft] 05/5/2005 08:21

not sure whether to top up on a few more today for a short. I think there are a few more pennies in this one

DFOB aquired ACC, and have since aquired Lincoln Co-Op processing plant, they supply the majority of the CWS branded milk, but there are other brands at Midland, and they too have a supply contract for CWS.

[deniscaff] 03/5/2005 16:39

Did they Aquire ACC ? , If so they would have a supply contract for the cws stores which would make the D.C. aquision look less attractive unless the supply contract is up and D.C have got it , then again most of the stores are in the North of England and Scotland , looking at their web site D.C don't have processing up there .

[abitgreen] 03/5/2005 14:52

most is done by DFOB,

[deniscaff] 03/5/2005 14:44

I suspect cws will tender between D.C. Wiseman and Arla , is the cws volume currently done by Central Midlands ? and if so could they influence cws to give it to D.C ?.

[abitgreen] 03/5/2005 12:18

As it stands, no it doesn't seem to fit that well, the site is not up to the standards of the Major retailers, however there is quite a bit of volume there that can be produced at Dairycrest's other sites, I do not know what will happen to the CWS volume though.
