No mention of Amazon interests. I would have liked more comment on Brexit. We will have to wait to see it Davy or Goodbody issue a detailed note. They were both quite positive in their Morning Briefings. You can acces them via the RTE website, Business section, Broker reports.

Total Produce plc confirms that it will release its interim results for the six months to 30 June 2017 on Thursday, 31st August 2017 at 7am.

FFY was my big one, a multiple of TOT. Recently added BIRG (in profit) I have GVC as a result of T/O of PRTY, results due mid Sept. One day I will show a profit however it may take another year. If the US ever gets its act together then somebody should make a move. DYOR TOT: Still no date for results, should be around 30th August

Checked the 2016 report, they split figures for Europe between Europe EU & Europe non-EU. They do have a sizeable presence in the UK. Sept report may give further guidance.

Good to see this hit £2, €2.216 in Dublin as I write. Results due around 1st Sept, date not announced yet. High £ earnings could be an issue however I suspect that this issue is priced in for the moment. I don't know % of £ earnings / T/O. Must check the annual report over the weekend. Enjoy

Closed at €2.20 in Dublin, all time high. Volume just over 50k which is low.

Still going strong, traded at 2.192 earlier in Dublin. I suspect someone will notice within the next 24 months. €3 would be nice. TOT doesn't have the labor issues that resulted in the price that FFY cashed out at. DYOR

Not Cork & I never got the hang of golf. West Cork is great, stayed in Glengarriff a few times. After the IPO AIB will still be answerable to its majority shareholder, the Dept of Finance. BOI are answerable to all its shareholders. In the long & short term I believe that BOI will provide me with the enter return. I still think that Friday & Monday could be very interesting. Good luck to all

I believe that BOI will provide me with a better return even over the short term. However in the good old days their Merket Caps were similar.

Time to put away any handbags. Now for the big question: At what price will both banks open tomorrow? I bought BOI writhin the last month (in profit) didn't apply for any AIB. If they hold 440 or higher that should be good news for the BOI price (I hope!)

So based on that spread I wonder where we will open tomorrow? Hopefully not lower.

I had hoped to attend, didn't happen. Business doing very well. Hopefully they will build further over the next 12 to 24 months and then somebody will see the real value. Good luck to all holders.

Thanks for posting the link, very interesting.

Correct

Closed at €2.04, it will be interesting to see if it holds. Had a quick read of the annual report, reads very positive.

Closed at 199, not bad.

Didn't notice any coverage in Irish media

Results due on Thursday not Friday. I'm hoping for some very good news. I will be checking early!

Having split from banana importer Fyffes in 2006, Total Produce (TP) is the fruit & veg delivery man gone global, writes Brian Carey. Sales last year reached €3.76bn and cash operating earnings were €94.8m. The company operates in 23 countries. Despite its market lead position in Europe, it only controls 5% of the market. Much of the growth in 2016 was achieved in America, through the acquisition of a 65% stake in Progressive Produce, a Californian grower, packer & distributor of onions 7 potatoes. TP also hiked its stake in Oppenhimer, its Canadian business from 35% to 65%. Since buying into Oppy in 2011, revenues have doubles and the company recently entered a joint venture with T&G Global, a New Zealand company, to ship fresh produce from the USA to Asia. With net debt of just €48Mm, TP has plenty of scope for further acquisitions. The McCann family – bolstered by their cash out at Fyffes, and a 11.8% shareholder here – are not short of ambition, and the chairman Carl is an experienced operator. Trading at 14.8 times forecast 2017 earnings, the share trades close to Merrion’s analyst Darren McKinley’s price target of €2. It may require a deal to break through the €2 level.

I will post the ST wording later
