Got out of this ~+17% having bought in at 125. The reason why I sold has nothing to do with the company - more to do with needing funds to redeploy elsewhere.

I hope that current investors will see this stock go back to £2+. Wish you all the best & great fortune.

Very simple bull case here . Management wants to add capacity to get to £500m revenue . If they achieve this in the next 5 years , with a high gross margin , direct to consumer luxury brand that will be growing fast I wouldn't be surprised to see a 5 x sales valuation and a 5 bagger from here .Given that they already had the capacity to hit £250m revenue and did a placing anyway to build out capacity now , there's cause to be optimistic that this is possible . Management have huge shareholdings and are totally aligned with investors , have to believe they think this is realistic

Hotel Chocolat sees sweet opportunity, expands chocolate shops to New York
Published on 9 Apr 2019
Hotel Chocolat Group PLC (LON:HOTC) CEO Angus Thirlwell tells Proactive Investors the UK-based company, which grows its own cocoa beans at its farm in St. Lucia, has recently opened its first boutique store in New York City, followed by a second store in New Jersey.
Thirlwell says the company that has recently pulled in more than £80 million in half-yearly sales, chose the Tri-state area for its high foot traffic. He looks forward to the upcoming Easter holidays to further boost sales.

Looking at the trade list, and in particular the fact that the ~4 million shares' worth of trades basically all happened in a pretty short time period just after 14:30, were all at a price of 270p and did not change the price in any major way, I would guess that it's a big negotiated trade.

I.e. basically a market maker found a big buyer, a big seller and probably some smaller buyers or sellers to make up a difference in the numbers of shares they wanted to trade, negotiated 270p as a price acceptable to all parties, and put it through. It will have appeared as separate reports of trades between the market maker and each of the parties, with ~2 million shares being bought by the market maker and about the same number sold, and the market maker was probably paid by a separate fee rather than a price spread, so all the trades were at the same price - and because 270p was closer to the low end of the 269p/273p spread at the time than the high end, the computers classified them all as sells...

A possible alternative is that a single investor decided to re-arrange their holdings and chose to do it through the market, again paying a market maker by a separate fee. I would tend to think that the number of trade reports is on the high side for that, but it's certainly not impossible.

The consensus broker forecast for the WHOLE year,ending June 2017, is just 7.43p -
slightly LESS than the 7.8p at the half year stage.(source:FT.com)

That gives a price earnings ratio of about 46 (!) which is lousy value even at the current high growth rate.

Although it's been pointed out by some analysts I reckon quite a lot of private investors haven't registered that historically the company has generated more than all its profits in the first half year. Last year (ending June 2016)the profits were only
£8.2 m despite being £8.8m in the previous half, and that's adjusting for the exceptional costs of the listing.

There are 2 brokers covering this, and for what they're worth their 12 month price forecasts are 341p and 270p. When even the house broker isn't giving its client's shareholders a 12 month price forecast higher than the current price that should be another warning to holders.
