Great stuff, thanks Q.P.

A column on Total Produce appears on page 50 of this week's Investor's Chronicle (11-17th. Sept).

The share is rated a BUY by Investor's Chronicle which comments:-

"Total Produce is cash-generative and its acquisition strategy has been successful so far. The business also looks fairly well insulated against the deflationary conditions in food retail. Trading on 13 times full-year earnings, the shares still offer good value"

It offers a fantastic and steadily increasing dividend as well.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

Now 95p to buy and new highs...

[battlebus2] 08/9/2015 10:43

Trade just gone through at 95p :))

[quepassa] 03/9/2015 07:33

Excellent results.

Concur .

The TWO things which I also think are noteworthy are:-

1. Very generous increase in dividend by a big factor of 15% (the full year divi likely to be given similar uplift )

2. INCREASE in GUIDANCE to top of range.



The company continues to grow and to be acquisitive.

We are at or around a new all-time high.

The buoyant figures, strong outlook and SIGNIFICANT INCREASE in dividend, should help push share price higher.


ALL IMO. DYOR.

Farringdon capital seem to have sold a few on the 8th..

[battlebus2] 08/7/2015 14:02

Good to see new highs today...

[battlebus2] 26/6/2015 10:23

Another tick up in a bad market day....

[battlebus2] 24/6/2015 13:30

Also good to see it move up on a day with only sells that i can see.

[battlebus2] 24/6/2015 12:55

Yes very positive Q.P. just like FFY a few days ago.

[18bt] 20/5/2015 09:50

Very happy holding here. Steady growth.

[quepassa] 20/5/2015 07:27

Very impressive guidance today pointing to good trading.

Great yield.

Rock solid dividend history. Dividend increased 6% last year.

Impressive group of institutional shareholders.

Growth and Growing company - continually making acquistions.

Remains off the radar.

Fresh produce - not a cyclical product but a staple.

What's not to like?

ALL IMO. DYOR.

Excellent figures from under-the-radar Total Produce.

Dividend up 6%. That's a great increase in their dividend.

Underlying business continues to grow and further acquisitions have been made.

Clearly a company which likes to keep a low profile but one whose place on the European stage for fresh food, fruit and vegestables is getting more and more important.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

Very strange share price movement! At least we aren't worse off since yesterday's close!

[m.t.glass] 21/5/2014 07:10

Strange one that. Makes today's opening stats sound negative!

[hardupfedup] 20/5/2014 15:45

100p last trade ?

Continues to edge up slowly but consistently.

Very steady graph. Up about 50% on the last twelve months.

Hopeful of 100p++ by year-end for this highly under-researched stock.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

Margins of about 1.5%; payables up by about E40m - nah, I'll give it a miss.

Mmm, must check this out, BUT I'm ever so wary of this biz having had my fingers burnt by Albert Fisher many, many years ago. At least I got out b4 Fidelity LOL. Maybe this is diff. I dunno. We'll c.
