25/3/2014 09:49 | I recall a note out from Webb Capital a month or so ago that read that Finsbury was quite possibly a takeover target itself. | el1te | |
25/3/2014 08:29 | acquisitions might ideally be funded by equity of course but for FIF, which despite the impressive results in recent years, still has a very low rating, would find that difficult I suppose there is still some legacy around of the last equity funded acquisitions too, painful memories for some. | jpjp100 | |
24/3/2014 22:05 | They are generating more than enough cash to reinvest in the existing business. I said this at the fundraising and maintain this on seeing these results. A smaller dividend just builds up the acquisition war chest a little quicker. | aleman | |
24/3/2014 20:35 | Yes, interim results quite positive in a difficult environment. Would have been nice to increase the dividend, but its still pretty nominal anyway. Better to reinvest in the business if this is needed. | topvest | |
24/3/2014 17:06 | I think they are working hard behind the scenes on i) business as usual and ii) to put themselves in a strong position for industry consolidation ii) is more important in the long term. FIF has to get the balance of investment right: to keep the balance sheet in good order; to keep (potential) funders convinced that they (FIF) are better managers than their competitors and to have the most efficient and effective supply chain I haven't seen anything that would make me think they aren't doing that | jpjp100 | |
24/3/2014 16:22 | Solid performance and a more upbeat than usual sounding statement. Dividend still miserly but if they're investing heavily for future growth then I don't mind too much. | boffster | |
24/3/2014 12:06 | Crazy forward PER - should be nearer 20, given our financial solidity. | spaceparallax | |
24/3/2014 10:44 | FINSBURY FOODS the bread and cakes focused operation released Interim results earlier this morning, for the six months to www.privatepunter.co FINSBURY FOODS the bread and cakes focused operation released Interim results earlier this morning, for the six months to 28 December 2013. Group revenue from ongoing operations was down to £86.6m against the previous £88.2m Pre-tax profit from continuing operations increased by 50.6% to £2.1m Compared to the £1.4m achieved in the corresponding period. In-roads into the debt continue and that was reduced to a more palatable £11.8m from the £27.4m of 2012. Despite what appears to be a continuing challenging market place, Finsbury has made solid progress and as I noted in my last comment, looks to be operating on a much firmer footing. The shares are up a touch this morning at 54.25p and trade on a forward PER of under 9. | cheshire man | |
24/3/2014 10:27 | Very solid, with minimal dip in revenue but significant improvements elsewhere on the balance sheet. I'd say that we're significantly undervalued given the strong position upon which FIF can gradually build. | spaceparallax | |
24/3/2014 08:50 | At a quick glance, the results look fine if a little dull. The shares still look quite undervalued but there is no obvious spark to highlight that without an acquisition. The failure to increase the dividend is a bit of a slap in the face to shareholders. It would not have cost much. What are they thinking? | aleman | |
24/3/2014 08:08 | happy enough with that, it is tough out there | jpjp100 | |
24/3/2014 07:47 | Bread and cake maker Finsbury Food Group reported operating profit up 5% to £2.6m in the first half-year to 28th December (H1 2012: £2.5m).

24/3/2014 07:21 | Headcount to fall again so some jobs to go unfortunately. | battlebus2 | |
24/3/2014 07:20 | Pretty much as the pre-close statement so at least no nasty surprises. Hopefully we will see a small increase in share price. | edale | |

21/3/2014 16:42 | Interims out Monday. Not optimistic, I have to say. That said, any profit improvement will underscore the low rating that Finsbury is trading at. El1te | el1te | |

10/2/2014 08:36 | Buying on the dip could be paying off .. | battlebus2 | |
06/2/2014 13:22 | the worst thing that could happen is that AIM and / or the FCA indulge in a prolonged investigation into the details of how PDMR transactions are dealt with at FIF Such an investigation could take ages and be very distracting for the Board. And we really want them focussed on running the business. The best outcome is that whoever was at fault Monk, FIF, the various Advisors involved holds up their hand, demonstrates that it was a mistake and then everyone can move on. | jpjp100 | |
06/2/2014 12:42 | I think a fine can be imposed by the FCA In this case, as I said earlier, I don't see that the company has done anything wrong. But, on the face of it, it does look as though Monk should have piped up sooner doesn't it? Whether he asked the Chairman for permission to deal or not is a separate matter in my mind, but one that should be being investigated by the company right now. It isn't just a matter of asking when you pass someone in the corridor either: the request and the answer to it should be in writing. | jpjp100 | |
06/2/2014 12:20 | Well found jpjp100. But what if any sanction will be applied to this nice chap Monk by either the London Stock Exchange or the company? I am tempted to write to the company asking what they are doing about this as their RNS suggests that they only knew about these dealings 2 days ago (which kind of refutes an earlier posters suggestion that he would have had to obtain permission from the company prior to dealing). | callumross |
