Been doing well with side items drinks coffee alcohol but chocolate is a luxury item. Not sure we will find the bottom today

A quality company but a huge profit downgrade for FY2023 from £28 million pre-tax to £10 million. Market cap now £170 million with cash of £17 million. Was 500p at the start of the year- savage. The stock market can be a cruel place.

Still has a 188 million market cap...

I was looking at buying, but after this I don't think so.
Good luck guys

[jaf111] 19/7/2022 08:32

Ugly, very ugly

Thanks nithbank

Pricing looking interesting Bailed out earlier as mix of high valuation and increasing rates looked like strong headwinds even with good underlying business performance

Company website says this month.

[gswredland] 15/6/2022 17:33

[nithbank] 25/5/2022 18:35

Alas if it goes wrong you can't eat the share price £10 for 3 became £12 for 3 pretty quickly

[jaf111] 05/5/2022 16:04

its expensive....both he chocs & the share price.....

[williamcooper104] 03/5/2022 20:13

Ditto I'm out but happy to get back in again Bearish on consumer stocks at moment

[gswredland] 03/5/2022 16:51

Results were very impressive but I understand the fall in share price as PE is high
Coming down to a more reasonable level
If it falls back to low 300's I'd be in again.
Well run company

I guess "big" traders have a "buy" price and with stockmarket turmoil, HOTC hit that price.

[williamcooper104] 24/2/2022 16:36

No clue Burford bungee jumped down and is a little up Nasdaq is up too; but that shouldn't really help here Markets can of course be volatile

[jeanesy] 24/2/2022 16:33

Dramatic change in fortunes this afternon here ! I wonder why ?

[netcurtains] 24/2/2022 08:35

Well the chocolates were nice while they lasted. I guess I'll have to top up soon

[netcurtains] 24/2/2022 08:20

In times of trouble people turn to eating chocolate

[gswredland] 22/2/2022 17:27
