Thanks for the explanation. I didn't spot that yesterday and was surprised to see the over 6% "drop" on no news today.

It's correcting an anomolaus closing price last night-out of the blue a price of 622p for 68 shares was recorded at 16.35. All other trades until then had been circa 585p.

Another little story from Partyworldwide.net IG Design continues to grow partyware offering By Jacqui Parr February 8, 2021. The latest trading statement from IG Design Group showed a 35% surge in turnover as the company continues to grow its partyware offering. The announcement takes the company’s turnover to $737 million, and reveals an increase in pre-tax profit as well as a dramatic reduction in its borrowings. The company, which specialises in greeting cards and giftwrappings, is largely orientated towards the grocers and value retailers – such as Aldi, B&M, Wilko and Poundland – which have been able to trade throughout lockdowns. Paul Fineman, ceo of IG Design Group highlighted partyware as “another of our growing categories,” with last year’s acquisition of craft company CSS reinforcing its partyware position. “We feel confident that the next couple of years will further grow in this sector in the UK, Australia and Europe, increasing our product portfolio and design focus,” adds Paul. On the licensing front, Paul has also reported a consumer focus on the evergreens, saying: “We have seen classics from Disney, Star Wars and definitely Peppa Pig still up there in the UK, while in the States, sports licences have done very well for us.”

All the recent director sells make a little more sense after todays RNS, 3 senior directors and 60 senior management are potentially getting another shed load of free shares within the next few years!

The Directors said in a recent presentation that initial Xmas orders had been cautious but then subsequently they were fulfilling additional incremental orders to customers.

Euromedic why? IGR does not run a sale or return policy plus Xmas wasn't cancelled this year! Plus they supply all the top supermarkets which stayed open completely throughout the pandemic and have a great online presence also with amazon etc...

An excellent news story for IGR to finish the year on:- Greeting card company IG Design Group Americas Inc., plans to fill 300 jobs by May 22 as it expands its Marshall County operations. The company is investing $57.41 million. The Mississippi Development Authority is providing a $2 million grant for equipment relocation. IG Design Group also qualifies for the Advantage Jobs Rebate Program, which provides a rebate to eligible businesses that create new jobs that exceed the average annual wage of the state or county in which the company locates or expands. Marshall County and the TVA also are assisting with the project. ”IG Design Group’s decision to bring hundreds of new jobs to Marshall County will provide an abundance of opportunities for the area’s workforce, subsequently stimulating the local economy and building stronger communities throughout the region,” Gov. Tate Reeves said. “The state of Mississippi appreciates the IG Design Group team for once again investing in our state – especially during these challenging economic times.” IG Design Group specializes in celebrations and craft products, including stationery, gift wrap and gift bags, and serves retailers worldwide, from design to distribution. In July, it announced it was locating operations in the Chickasaw Trail Industrial Park, initially creating 35 jobs. The company leased a 554,000-square-foot facility developed by Panattoni Development, which was Phase 1 of the project. For the expansion, which is Phase 2 of the project, the company is leasing a newly built 338,580-square-foot addition. To accommodate future growth, the company has an option to expand the facility by an additional 338,600 square feet. The facility will house the production, warehousing and distribution of IG Design Group’s gift-wrapping products. “We are very thankful to the Mississippi Development Authority, Marshall County and the Tennessee Valley Authority for the outstanding support provided as we continue to expand our footprint into Mississippi and into such a well-conceived development,” said Gideon Schlessinger, CEO of IG Design Group. “We know that the new facility will provide the long-term access we need to a variety of resources – a strong workforce, a business-friendly environment and superb manufacturing, distribution and logistics.” For fiscal year 2020 ending March 31, IG Design Group posted $667 million in sales, a 10% increase over FY2019. First quarter sales for FY 2021 were underpinned by a $500 million order, the company said.

Thanks for the thoughts. I looked back and 2 of the 3 who sold yesterday also sold 550,000 shares in June 2019 at £6.04 and by Jan 2020 they were £8. Didn't know CEO had a large trance of option. He has also sold in August 2020 and some time back at well below what the shareprice was to become.
