Shares in ‘personal care, beauty and fragrance products’ company Creightons (CRL) were a tip in July, including us then concluding that, with gross margin improvement and a hopefully improving macroeconomic environment, we looked for recognition of the potential for, or/and delivery of, profit recovery to spark the shares from 25p. What now of an “Update on first half trading performance” helping the shares currently up to above 35p?
‘Personal care, beauty and fragrance products’ company Creightons (CRL) has recently announced results for its year ended 31st March 2024 showing a swing to a loss of £3.5 million on revenue 9% lower than in the prior year to £53.2 million. However, we suggest that the results detail suggests strong share price recovery potential from 25p.
Previously writing on personal care, beauty and fragrance products company Creightons (CRL), in July with the shares around 40p on the back of full-year results I concluded that with it more than half way through the current half year I suggest it means those supply chain and inflationary pressures continuing to reduce earnings and, therefore, at this juncture still just on my watchlist. Now we have the half-year results... and the shares have currently responded more than 20% further lower to around 30p.
Hello Share Watchers. Ouch! That’s all I can say about yesterday’s share drop for one of the outfits I talk most about. Creightons (CRL), that does cosmetics and household cleaners and such, saw a big tumble. It’s full year report wasn’t exactly scintillating, but I didn't think it was all that bad.
Previously writing on personal care, beauty and fragrance products company Creightons (CRL), in December with the shares at 92.5p I concluded that trading and supply chain uncertainty saw it just on my watchlist. The shares last closed at 54.4p...and are currently down to around 40p on the back of full-year results. So what’s going on?
Hello Share Fans. Methinks it’s time to look again at the admirable Creightons (CRL) as it has endured a prolonged price drop for no pressing reason that I can see. Only last autumn the shares were above 130p but this Spring have been as low as 50p. Well, maybe above 130p was a bit optimistic but this is a company which makes popular stuff. And it does it cheaply.
Despite even last year personal care, beauty and fragrance products company Creightons (CRL) managing to announce results for its half-year to 30th September on 9th December, this year they are not announced until a ‘no-one-watching-week’ 30th December. Do they show reason for concern?...
Hello, Share Plungers. One of my biggest money makers has endured a dwindling share price recently. For no good reason as far as I can see. Creightons (CRL) is an ambitious growing company in the budget cosmetics field. And personal care, beauty and fragrance products have been popular even during the more serious stages of lockdown.
Hello, Share Swallowers. When a company I’ve commended quite a bit posts more interesting news then it justifies a little more coverage. Especially when that news chimes with one of the company’s policies which first attracted attention in the first place.
Hello, Share Monkeys. In this weekend’s lesson I look at the possibilities when finding yourself with a share where the price is rising rapidly. Should we sell, hold or buy more? It could depend on the qualities or failings of the individual share. But more likely it’s the momentum, timing and your own personality which are the more important considerations.
Hello, Share Changers. Forgive me if you’re already familiar with today’s lesson. But it’s never wrong to review the more famous rules of making good money from our great game. I want to look at how good a signal is a low p/e or price-to-earnings ratio. Obviously, a low p/e means an asking price that’s too low. Or does it?
Hello, Share Thrivers. Fearful of over-egging my support for Creightons (CRL) I approach this piece with caution. As you know, it’s too easy in our crazy game to fall in love with your own shares. This can mean you see the good points and ignore the bad. But I really think there might be a buying opportunity here.
