14/1/2008 18:20 | Dividend reinvestment scheme? | garth | |
14/1/2008 14:49 | Can anyone give a sensible reason as to why there were separate purchases of five and four shares today - it seems very odd. | awilson | |
08/1/2008 18:06 | Sclater has now had a dabble. Something afoot? I've never known him buy any stock whilst Ive been a shareholder. | capercaillie | |
07/1/2008 18:03 | Pity so many other directors have such a paltry holding. | capercaillie | |
07/1/2008 12:15 | great to see Mark Cropper buying shares. | hybrasil | |
21/12/2007 13:17 | Dunno, but a very welcome reversal of the recent slide. | bonty | |
21/12/2007 12:16 | tipped somewhere? | garth | |
28/11/2007 07:42 | Credit Agricole increase holding again I see. | capercaillie | |
23/11/2007 18:19 | cheers capercaillie - have you turned all white now? CR | cockneyrebel | |
21/11/2007 19:30 | Yep nice bounce here - dropped sub 210p on results day. Believe this was also picked last week as a charting buy in Shares Mag. Will dig out the article when I get time. Still following, although broader market sentiment preventing me from entering any new positions as yet, will play the waiting game.

21/11/2007 11:05 | Nice re-bound :0) | garth | |
20/11/2007 21:51 | EPS up 60+ % div + 15% with caveat that this may not be mirrored in the Final Results. This must be the most cautious company I have ever invested in.As usual there is plenty to cheer about but the Chairman characteristically warns of possible dangers never far away, most of which never seem to materialise. | capercaillie | |
20/11/2007 11:53 | only just got logged on this morning Garth - powercut last night and we've been without power all night :-( Results were every bit as good as I had hoped for - wasn't expecting them to warn on energy/pulp prices tho - thought these could be passed on. Too cheap to sell and there isn't many sellers anyway - just mm's crucifying the price if they see sellers in amy smal caps at the moment. A lot of price over reaction to the downside on lots of stocks - not the time to be selling imo. CR | cockneyrebel | |
20/11/2007 09:56 | Seen this before a takeover quick dip to collect the stops out then wack 25% premium....holding with interest. Dividend increase, profits and turnover up and board who tell the truth all the the right ingredients for a good stock IMHO. | praipus | |
20/11/2007 09:39 | Somewhat surprised by the severity and speed of the mark down. Reckon your hypothesis could be correct hybrasil. CR quiet this morning.... in for some more? G. | garth | |
20/11/2007 09:34 | I got out this AM and put the contribution into SGI as it looks a stronger share in these volatile times. I hope the best for all remaining holders. | liarspoker | |
20/11/2007 09:30 | went to buy some shares 10k v 1k electronically. It does look like a move to get the price down to buy in stock. I bought 1k | hybrasil | |
20/11/2007 08:14 | have a look at the balance sheet. current mcap 17.6 m. Net assets 24million and the property hasnt been revalued in about 20 years. | hybrasil | |
20/11/2007 07:54 | Well, lots there to confirm that there is good long-term value here - and all on a cheap rating. Around 30% revenue growth at TFP but profits flat due to US dollar and some lower margin activity. As I suggested last week might be the case, the "3-headed bear" got a couple of lines: "Weakening US$ adversely impacting on margins in TFP and Converting Strong upward trend in pulp and energy costs anticipated in second-half" There is a near-sighted and a far-sighted view to these results. Unfortunately, in current markets, I'm guessing that the near-sighted view is the one that might prevail in the short term. G. | garth | |
20/11/2007 07:46 | HIGHLIGHTS AND OUTLOOK: James Cropper PLC 'Specialist Paper Makers' Interim Results for the half-year to 29 September 2007 Half-year to Half-year to Full-year to 29 September 30 September 31 March 2007 2006 2007 Overall turnover up 8% #35.7m #33.0m #69.1m Group profit before tax Prior to net IFRS pension adjustments #1.4m #1.0m #2.5m After net IFRS pension adjustments #1.3m #0.8m #2.1m Earnings per share 10.4p 6.4p 16.2p Dividend per share declared 2.2p 1.9p 7.0p Gearing 21% 37% 23% Encouraging growth in turnover by TFP and Speciality Papers TFP acquires US based suppliers of metal-coated carbon fibres for a combined purchase consideration of approximately #0.5 million Weakening US$ adversely impacting on margins in TFP and Converting Strong upward trend in pulp and energy costs anticipated in second-half Significant reduction in IAS19 pension deficit Transfer from Main List to AIM successfully completed on 31 August 2007 "TFP's new facility in Cheshire and its US acquisitions strengthen its long-term position in specialised non-woven insulating and composite markets. Sales performance by TFP in the current year is encouraging. However profit growth will not be at the exceptional rate achieved in the previous year". "Given the uncertainties surrounding the recent strong upward trend in forward quoted energy prices and in rising pulp costs, the outlook for Speciality Papers is difficult to project. It should therefore be anticipated that the profitability of Speciality Papers will slow during the course of the second half-year as a consequence of the inevitable time lag before these costs can be recovered through increasing prices to customers". "Overall the Group's progress in the first-half has been satisfactory and I am pleased that it has been possible to increase the interim dividend as a consequence. However, it is too early in the financial year to consider whether an adjustment to the final dividend would be appropriate". Outlook TFP's new facility in Cheshire and its US acquisitions strengthen its long-term position in specialised non-woven insulating and composite markets. Sales performance by TFP in the current year is encouraging. However profit growth will not be at the exceptional rate achieved in the previous year. Given the uncertainties surrounding the recent strong upward trend in forward quoted energy prices and in rising pulp costs, the outlook for Speciality Papers is difficult to project. It should therefore be anticipated that the profitability of Speciality Papers will slow during the course of the second half-year as a consequence of the inevitable time lag before these costs can be recovered through increasing prices to customers. As with all retailers, the pre-Christmas period is vital to The Paper Mill Shop. Given the prevailing trading climate it is expected that the subsidiary will incur a loss for the full year similar to that of last year. In the second-half gearing will ease upward from 21% at the half-year end as cash outflow increases as a consequence of increased capital expenditure and higher pulp and energy costs. Overall the Group's progress in the first-half has been satisfactory and I am pleased that it has been possible to increase the interim dividend as a consequence. However, it is too early in the financial year to consider whether an adjustment to the final dividend would be appropriate. | garth | |
20/11/2007 07:44 | Numbers are up but there are always those words of caution from the Chairman | capercaillie | |
13/11/2007 14:08 | I agree that TFP are the main driver here. It will be interesting to see what control of EFT does for them. Spec. papers are also trading well. Sales in Qtr 1 were very satisfying however this is where pulp costs come into play as well as a weaker US$. Reduced energy costs should offset these somewhat. | liarspoker | |
13/11/2007 12:12 | Praipus, I don't know why CRPR are slow to pass costs on. But if you look at interims, finals, trading statements over periods where the price declined it was on warnings and declining profits (and movement into losses) on the back of pulp prices and energy costs..... The jewel for me is TFP. Significant profit growth here is what was carried the share price up and makes the shares look so undervalued. But the major growth driver has been the US. I have not looked for a while at their position re any currency hedging. A third grizzly in the woods for CRPR would be a slowing economy in the US and - maybe - continued $ weakness. BUT THAT IS SPECULATION and I don't want to sound overly bearish. I believe these are a little gem and the results should be great - I'm just wary of outlook. CR, Hybrasil et al any thoughts? DYOR. G. | garth | |
13/11/2007 12:05 | Garth, thank you for the links and information. Commodities (including energy) going up is good for shareholders IMHO, providing current margin's are maintained profits should increase. Is there a reason why CRPR doesnt pass the costs on? | praipus |
