A terrific year end trading update this morning. It just reads so well all the way through - I can barely see any negatives at all:



"Commenting on the year's performance, Paul Fineman, Group CEO, said:

"We are delighted with our performance in FY18 and that we have such positive momentum across all areas of our Group.

It is particularly pleasing to have achieved significant bottom line growth whilst also investing in the Group. This achievement is testament to the global nature of our business and the extent to which we have diversified and de-risked the Group.

We look forward to continuing to build the business both organically and by compelling M&A."

Looks like new highs today (just!).

This brief update from Progressive Equities hasn't been posted here yet:

[pen8] 13/4/2018 14:38

Yeah you are right should go north of 4.40 next week . Glad also that Superdry bounced after I bought this morning. Good for 10-20%

[time 2 retire] 13/4/2018 11:24

Looking very good here with next weeks year end trading statement to come plus the progressive equity research event on Monday evening, £4.50+ soon me thinks...

[pen8] 12/4/2018 19:04

I am buying Superdry tomorrow as like igr last week seems too cheap , at 13x 2018/19 earnings. Only moved down with profits solidly up 20% for a few years . I guess retailers out of favour but too cheap and will bounce up over next few days I expect .. dyor pen

[pen8] 11/4/2018 20:48

Yes last weeks buys were well timed
I still think another 20% in this
I also think ccfs challenger bank looks too cheap this weeek at under £3.. like Igr last week just seems slightly below market value

[foxman14] 11/4/2018 14:42

420p on the bid. That is 50p increase since Monday morning. Lovely jubbly!

[time 2 retire] 10/4/2018 13:40

What a difference a couple of days make, strange to see an 8p spread here though.
Lets hope we can keep this blue run going for the rest of this week and we may see new highs soon with Mondays Progressive Equity Research event going on plus next weeks year end update scheduled...

Good recovery today. The drop did feel pretty artificial/temporary on low volumes given the numbers and prospects.

[pen8] 07/4/2018 12:50

Yes bought another 12k shares on thurs fri as my target is 4.80-£5. Jan update was excellent and this team don’t seem to just fire out inaccurate releases. Should be good for 30%.I really don’t see the reason for weakness and guess this is a quick low point. Let’s see but I think a good team and company. Dyor pen

[gswredland] 06/4/2018 17:46

Yes very weak after a really good update on January 16.
Looking to get back in here

[time 2 retire] 06/4/2018 15:09

It's obvious to me that mm's are happy to drop this price on very little activity, probably got a few insiders or institutions lined up ready to get in on the cheap! Bloody crooks.

[nocton] 05/4/2018 08:11

Just end of tax year profit taking? Lots of shares that have done well or vice versa are sold at this time.

[gswredland] 04/4/2018 12:21

Well trading update in January was good
Just some weakness?

[pnetol] 03/4/2018 11:22

More likely that there was no trading update today me wonders?

[pugugly] 03/4/2018 11:21

Market reaction seems to say not happy with price received for the property.

[rivaldo] 03/4/2018 07:19

Good to see £2.5m more in the bank following the sale of a surplus property:



Trading update will be out the week commencing 16th April.

[time 2 retire] 26/3/2018 10:08

We should be getting our year end trading statement soon. March 24th last year...

[tomps2] 19/3/2018 09:42

Cheers t2r - that's good PR for IGR.

[edale] 03/3/2018 22:46

Thanks t2r, we have seen a welcome increase in share price in the last few days and may get a bit more on Monday from this recommendation.

From "This Is Money"

SHARE PUNT OF THE WEEK: IG Design Group's products are sold in more than 200,000 stores in 80 countries

Read more:

WHO IS IT? IG Design Group, formerly known as International Greetings, designs and makes gift packaging, cards, stationery and presents.
The Bedfordshire-based firm sells its products in more than 200,000 stores in 80 countries.
WHAT'S THE LATEST? Last month, IG bought Australian greeting card and paper product producer Biscay Greetings for £5.5million.
Biscay has nearly 2,000 customers in Australia and New Zealand. IG chief executive Paul Fineman said the deal would double its market share in Australia.

WHO BACKS IT? Fineman is the firm's fourth biggest shareholder, with nearly 4.5m shares. Fund managers Miton and Schroder are also among the top five shareholders.
WHY YOU SHOULD INVEST: Last month, IG announced it was on track to grow its profits and revenue this year.
Experts say its aggressive growth and acquisition strategy is stealing market share from rivals.

German bank Berenberg has given the firm a 'Buy' rating. Russ Mould, of stockbroker AJ Bell, said: 'It is a terrifically well-run business and it is really starting to eat the cake of some of its rivals.
'It has made great progress selling to the discount supermarkets and there is potential for the dividend to grow, too.'

[rivaldo] 01/3/2018 10:34

Nice - Berenberg have initiated coverage today with a Buy and a 500p target....
