How on Earth can the sp be back on the way down so quickly???? Recent trading statement was pretty ok as was November's, indicating everything is starting to be turned around (imo). I will NEVER understand PFD's sp..... After last RNS I was expecting 50p by now!
Please read your posts before posting them. What a load of waffle!!!
Yeah,,,,,,WHEN?
I keep reading all these posts about what the SP should be/what it will be/what Nissin should or should not do/the number of mince pies PF have sold and the list goes on. SO WHAT.... Ladies and Gentlemen - the SP the last month has been between 40p and 44 p and currently 43.55 p - whoopee. In fact it has been at that level for over a year now. I'll spell "whoopee" in CAPS when the SP rises to what some people are saying it will be but do wonder do they really know or are they just hoping - when is this rise actually going to happen?
is it just me that thinks 65-70p a couple of years ago was better than 75p today? Bearing in mind Tesco has gone below �1.50 in that time, Royal Mail has gone down a quid, so just imagine you had invested in companies like that with your proceeds. It is not wishful thinking to be looking at either a SP of 90p or a takeover of that amount.
But a takeover price of 65-70p in 2016 was better than one of 75p today, so GD really needs to push for nearer to �1 which I cannot see happening. However, if the SP can rise to 60p and then Nissin decide to increase their stake to 29.9%, instead of buying Batchelors, we may be close to �1 anyway.
I can't help thinking that the lower the sp and the longer it stay's around 42-45p the greater the chance of a take over and we get 75p. Perhaps the bent mm's are doing us a favor ?
It's about time we started to get some better more positive news, we just now need to see an improvement in the sp to 65p
wouldnt throw much weight behind anything motley fool says tbh, they get things totally teets up most of the time. That said I am expecting to see 50p in short thrift with these litlle bisto bad boys and I will be adding on any further downward MM manipulation attempts as this surely must still be a target...

I seem to recall someone on this BB last year suggesting GD was to be investigated for his role in the failed takeover bid. Is that so and if so does anyone have an update on it?
Hope you are right, but remember the Nissin stake is a ''blocking Stake''. They may however, feel it is better to continue working with PF on Batchelors and add further value to the brand, in that case they may increase to 29.9% and that would put to bed any 3rd party takeover attempts.
Could be back on the takeover radar.
Oasis hold 73.6m shares (8.84%). When they put a Director on board ((RNS 1/3/17) they agreed to increase holding to 10% by 30/6/18. Might be a good time to buy the extra shares now, I reckon Rich
How this translates into profits on 15th May.It's profits not sales which pays the bills,pension fund, debts and eventually leaves a little bit for the shareholders.
Do they not need to top upto 9% by June? or do they already have that much?
7% share price drop on 5/1/18 manipulated. Seeing lots of good sized buys today as this gradually moves up to 45p. Also lots of sellers selling into the rise on good news. Solid RNS in my view and PFD finally making some progress. Will continue to hold mine for medium to long term recovery...gla Rich
we love you Darby we do, sorry, I got carried away for a minute... I have just added somemore of these bisto bad boys to my collection, I expect 50p in short order. Jeeez them mincers arnt alf tasty )) Three cheers for PFD, kip kip hooray, kip kip hooray, kip kip hooray Rich
2rei I would love to be wrong. Two years of being in PFD and the recent 7% drop, influences my ongoing pessimism. However, today's figures does give a little hope. GLA
Well I did tell you the mincers sales would be good )) Hopefully we will now get some real M&A interest as the year unfolds. Onwards and upwards finally, have purchased a few today on the back of this trading update. Good luck Rich
Disagree with the post today which suggested a SP of 41- 44p for a length of time. Quite simply because the state of the company has improved and whilst we may not see strong growth, there is a case to suggest profit warnings at PF are a thing of the past. The company is in a better state than it was last year when the SP hit 57p.
If it is true, then hopefully GD will get a better deal than his predecessors did, when selling brands. Batchelors is PFD�s fastest growing brand, so hopefully the sale price will reflect that.
If it was any other company i'd be a little more upbeat. But, there's always something right? Lets hope some of the bigger players fancy coming back in for them.
The drop in sweet treats down 7.3% in Q3 and 4.3% in overall year to date is a bit strange Mr Kipling ,a few years ago, was being touted as the flagship of the company now non branded has overtaken it. Are we seeing sales figures being pushed more than profits?
There is an article in the mail today about the possible sale of Batchelors for �200m even though the company yesterday said it wasn't. So there could be more in this than they are making out otherwise why would the Mail still go-ahead with this after the company statement. We all know that when some of these reporters get a bee in their bonnet they don't give up. I guess it's watch this space.
