Still looks very expensive to me.

There's not much of a free float so not surprising that it's hard to short

[pugugly] 13/7/2023 13:16

This is the killer from the rns:- " underlying profit before tax of GBP0.3m"
OK share price has already fallen - fallen & fallen again.

Anyone seen any brokers notes with downside targets or their own gut feel down trgets?

Can't get a short on spreadex, annoying

[johndoe23] 30/6/2023 10:26

I see PBT forecast for next year around 3.5M. At 20 x profits, being generous, mcap of 80M. That's half of current mcap

[johndoe23] 30/6/2023 09:26

Thats the short lived bounce over

[johndoe23] 26/6/2023 14:25

Amazed this is rising today

[terminator101] 25/6/2023 22:48

That puts a valuation of less than £100 million based on even an optimistic P/E. This has a lot further to fall. Another 50% at least.

[johndoe23] 24/6/2023 11:53

Just seen forecast is 6M

[johndoe23] 24/6/2023 11:50

Be interesting to see updated forecasts for next year, 15M PBT is complete pie in the sky now! Maybe 3-5M at best? Even 100M cap might be too high

[johndoe23] 24/6/2023 11:49

Market cap of 158M way too high!!

Awful chocolate, bland and overpriced, another product where you pay more for the presentation than the choc.!

[gswredland] 24/6/2023 10:37

This has much further to drop on its PE

[jeanesy] 23/6/2023 13:27

As I stated in April I could n't understand the strength in the shareprice. Todays announcement comes as no surprise to me .

[glavey] 23/6/2023 08:49

When they open with "As previously announced, FY23 is a transition year to re-shape the business in readiness for its next stage of growth" you know there's trouble ahead.

[lefrene] 23/6/2023 08:31

What is wrong with their business model if they only expect a wafer thin £300k profit on a forecast turnover of £201 millions?! At least they have a decent cash cushion and claim no debts. One to look at in September in the hope of a rise into the Christmas market?

too hot for chocolate. profit Melting

40p

[williamcooper104] 23/6/2023 08:16

7-9 given the macro environment and recession incoming

[bertiebingo] 23/6/2023 07:36

Liberian cuts FY25 by 61% so PE is 27* at yesterday's close. You would think PE should be 10-12.

[pugugly] 23/6/2023 07:20

T101 = Thought rns would wake you up - Tend to agree with your comment - Hotel choc been off my buy list ever since they declined product order .

[terminator101] 23/6/2023 07:16

Profit warning again on this massively overvalued fluff

[jeanesy] 28/4/2023 16:00

strangely enough it is bouncing back. Cant understand it myself tbh but it is !

[terminator101] 28/4/2023 07:29

How’s this massively overvalued fluff doing on that shock profit warning yesterday ? Not so good huh.
