Creightons – half year profitability in excess of the prior full-year from this winning share tip
By HotStockRockets | Friday 15 November 2024
Disclosure: I own shares in one or more of the stocks mentioned. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
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?
