Progressive equity research quick off the mark with their update too.

Indeed - another marvellous update. And everything looking good for this year, particularly with the Impact acquisition having been integrated so well.

Good to see the Frozen and Toy Story license acquisitions too.

Happy New Year to you t2r and everyone else here. 2019 should be another good year.

For the record, IGR got a nice little mention in the Telegraph's Questor column this morning. They recommended SCH as their Tip of the Year (which I also hold!) from Gervais Williams, and in doing so noted that IGR had been a successful previous tip of the year from him. This may have brought in a little interest:



"Questor’s tip of the year: a fast-growing software firm that yields almost 6pc
9 January 2019 • 5:58am

Questor share tip: Aim-quoted SafeCharge has technology that enables retailers to trade securely online – and its shares are ‘superbly’ cheap

It’s time for Questor’s share tip of the year.

As we did last year, we have approached the fund manager responsible for this column’s best-performing tip and asked him which stock he feels most enthusiastic about today.

That fund manager is Gervais Williams of Miton, who in March 2017 put Questor on to IG Design, which gained 120pc before we sold it in September last year.

For 2019, Williams has high hopes for Aim-quoted SafeCharge, whose advanced technology helps retailers to process card payments.

“Accurate processing of these payments is extremely important..."

Well that was another cracking year for IGR, up 47% I make it.
Happy new year to my few fellow investors here, I'm predicting we break £7 at some point in 2019.

A very Happy Christmas to all my fellow investors here. I have very high hopes for this company over the next couple of years but also in the shorter term ,over this Christmas period.

I am off to spend Christmas with my family in Donegal (Ireland) on the Wild Atlantic Way (overlooking the Atlantic Ocean)

[pugugly] 18/12/2018 07:07

TTR - Thanks - & best wishes for Christmas and a profitable New Year .

From todays Motley Fool...

All wrapped up

This is the most wonderful time of year for greetings card and gift wrapping company IG Design Group (LSE: IGR). This AIM-listed £450m company has a large global reach, with operations in the Americas, Europe and Australia. Its products now retail in more than 200,000 stores across 80 countries and it is expanding through acquisition.

It has also been one of the most exciting stocks of the last five years, up an incredible 850% over that time, yet hasn’t attracted the investor excitement you might expect given its soaraway growth. I wrote about this small-cap 12-bagger earlier this year, noting that it has even managed to defy the retail slowdown affecting bricks and mortar retailers on the stricken UK high street.

Christmas on the cards

The group recently announced a reported 23% rise in revenue to £205m, driven by organic growth of 4% and the acquisition of Impact Innovations Inc in the US, while underlying profit before tax jumped an impressive 76% to £18.5m.

Unsurprisingly it isn’t cheap, currently trading at 21.6 times forward earnings, but it isn’t that expensive given such strong growth, with earnings forecast to rise 13% and 17% over the next two years. You even get a small yield, currently a forecast 1.5%, with cover of 1.3x, but this stock is all about the growth. I’m hoping IG will shine at Christmas, and for years to come.

Wow nearly a million shares changed hands today with much after close buying, someone likes what they see here (apart from us few on this board). Onwards and upwards.

Well over a million now and most buys at £6.12

Just watched in full, one of the best 54 mins of my investing life. I hope Paul Fineman never retires cos this guy is pure quality.

[shanklin] 30/11/2018 13:47

Well worth watching, right to the very end, IMHO.

[rivaldo] 30/11/2018 09:02

Cheers Tomps2, will listen over the weekend.
