Net, we are in this for Croda revenue. The rest of the company is a joke and as Ashman continues with his lies we have every right to challenge him. He knows both Hunt and him would have been voted out, hence the change of direction in the AGM. Every time he says something the market just laughs and down goes the SP. He still thinks he has transformed the company but nothing can be further from the truth. The SP is down nearly 30% from Jan 1, that is not transformational. His acquisitions are a disaster, revenue miss and he overpaid for them. Superdrug is a flop and you will see that in 2026. You only have to go into any store and see the product hiding somewhere near a bottom shelf at an overpriced value. Ashman has screwed up and it's time for a new management team, the sooner the better. Hopefully Croda will take us out sometime during 2026 but don't expect the price to be much higher. We will be lucky if it is higher than 30p.
