* gotta get better

My account showing £2500 down. I'm not going anywhere. Been holding so long . Gotta pretend better, surely!!! 👀

Not 1 share. All these assumptions of holders dumping is a lie. Traders come and go, yes... I trade too. However, I'm firmly holding onto ROCK, ORCP and a bunch of others.

People shouldn't allude to what other people are doing. Clearly nothing else better in their lives. Sad tbh....

Lorentz.... there is a nod and a wink amongst investors, that when a number is listed on the buy/sell L2 board, that it means an RNS has been logged, and will be released soon. More often than not, the following day. It has been proven to be right a zillion times, but some PIs are dubious. HTH

B.B, there is a nod and a wink amongst investors, that when a number is listed on the buy/sell L2 board, that it means an RNS has been logged, and will be released soon. More often than not, the following day. It has been proven to be right a zillion times, but some PIs are dubious. HTH

Try again without all the noise.

Card Factory plc ("cardfactory")

cardfactory to enter the US with the acquisition of Garven Holdings, LLC.

Entry into biggest global celebration occasions market marks an important milestone in international growth ambitions.

cardfactory, the UK's leading specialist retailer of greeting cards, gifts and celebration essentials, today announces that it has acquired the entire issued share capital of Garven Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries ("Garven"). Garven trades as Garven Design and Cadence Packaging and is a leader in the design and wholesale of gifts and celebration essentials, based in Minnesota, USA.

Strategic Rationale

In line with cardfactory's growth plan, this acquisition accelerates our partnerships strategy in one of our key international target markets. It marks cardfactory's physical entry into the US gifts and celebration essentials market, which represents the biggest market globally at circa £70 billion in total.

Garven has an established customer base of general and speciality retailers which will allow cardfactory to further explore design and buying synergies, alongside opportunities to introduce its own ranges into the US wholesale market.

Chief Operating Officer, Anne Schulze and Chief Financial Officer, Walter Jungbauer will continue to manage the Garven business.

Financial Consideration

The acquisition price of $25 million on a cash/debt free basis (subject to customary closing adjustments) was paid in cash at Completion on 4 December 2024 and implies an EV/EBITDA multiple of c.5x. The transaction has been funded from cardfactory's existing cash and debt facilities and the Company's leverage position remains comfortably below our target maximum of 1.5x. Based on current sales, the acquisition represents around 5% of cardfactory's revenue, with negligible benefit to be realised in the remainder of FY25.

Trading Update

Trading in the second half to date has been in line with our expectations and we have been encouraged by the start of the Christmas season. Our programme of productivity and efficiency savings, as announced at our Interim results in September 2024, also remains on track. Our expectations for the full year are unchanged, albeit we are yet to trade through the peak Christmas trading period. We will provide a further update to the market in our January trading statement which is scheduled for 14 January 2025.

Darcy Willson-Rymer, cardfactory Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"The acquisition of Garven is an important strategic milestone in our partnerships strategy. Together with our separate wholesale supply agreement covering over 1,100 stores across the US, it establishes a physical presence in the US market. Over a number of years, Garven has built a reputation as a trusted brand known for its quality products and impressive design capabilities, with Anne and Walter building an excellent customer proposition.

Card Factory is a top Berenberg pick

Strategic progress at Card Factory (CARD) has made it a top pick for 2025 for Berenberg.

Analyst Adam Tomlinson retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 154p on the greeting card and gift retailer, which gained 6% to 102.6p yesterday.

Tomlinson highlighted Card Factory’s prospects in a recent analyst note on consumer stocks and ‘the good news has already started to flow’.

‘Firstly, the group has acquired Garven, a US-based designer and wholesaler of gift wrap and bags into general and speciality US retailers, for $25m from existing resources,’ he said.

‘This accelerates Card Factory’s move into the £70bn US gifts and celebration essentials market, which is a key region to drive international partnerships growth and achieve the group’s sales target of £650m by full-year 2027.’

Secondly, half-year 2025 trading to date has been in line and Tomlinson said its ‘productivity and efficiency savings remain on track, and there are no changes to its full-year expectations’.

He said there was ‘deep value on offer’ from the shares.

Time to stop retaliating. Be at ease with what you are invested in. Try NOT to respond to negative posters. Pull you in like a whirling black hole. Will wear you down. Move on I say 👌

oracle power in talks for $1.4b financing of hybrid re plant in ****stan

the 1.3 gw wind and solar plant may start supplying power to 1.2 million houses by 2028.

london-based oracle power plc is in talks with investors so it could start building a $1.4b hybrid renewable energy plant in ****stan’s gharo-jhimpir wind corridor next year, according to its ceo.

Overview

· Drill results from the recently completed 1,545m drill programme have been compiled and integrated into an updated Leapfrog gold mineralisation model (see Figure 1).

· The dynamic Leapfrog model will now be used to inform and guide future drilling campaigns as the Northern Zone Project matures and grows towards a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate.

· The continuation of the high-grade oxide zone within the 600m wide porphyry system has been further expanded and is open in multiple directions (see Figure 2).

· The results of these drill holes continue to confirm and enlarge the shallow gold mineralisation associated with the Northern Zone intrusive porphyry.

· Possible ore processing scenarios have been demonstrated by the recent success of Black Cat Syndicate Ltd, at the Myhree open pit, located only 7km to the north of Northern Zone.

· Mining Lease application expected to be submitted early next week to the Department of Mines Energy Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS), along with the mineralisation report compliance document

Northern Zone Gold Project Drill Results

Oracle Power PLC (AIM:ORCP), an international project developer, is pleased to announce that it has received the first batch of assay results from the aircore ("AC") drilling programme undertaken during Riversgold Limited's (ASX:RGL) ("Riversgold") fourth AC programme at the Northern Zone Intrusive Hosted Gold Project in Western Australia (the "Northern Zone Project").

Further to the successful AC programmes completed earlier this year, Riversgold engaged a drilling contractor to undertake a fourth AC programme for a further 26 holes in early November 2024.

1,545m of AC drilling was completed at the Northern Zone Project, taking the aggregate number of metres drilled this year at the Northern Zone Project to 8,971m of AC drilling and 1,363m of reverse circulation ("RC") drilling.

The significant results continue to successfully intersect the mineralised porphyry over an increasing footprint within the tenement. The confirmation of a high-grade zone in the eastern extensional area and the extension of anomalous gold mineralisation in north-eastern areas validates the broader geological model. Mineralisation remains open in multiple directions, which will require future drill testing to continue to exploit and increase the extents of the mineralised porphyry. The Company and Riversgold will continue to further the understanding of the project before proceeding with a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE").

Highlights:

o Results from the first ten holes have been received with significant intercepts

o A new potential high-grade zone on the eastern extensional area of the 600m wide porphyry system has been confirmed

o These initial eastern exploratory holes have exceeded grade expectations and continue to confirm and expand the shallow gold mineralisation associated with the Northern Zone Project porphyry.

o The Leapfrog gold model for Northern Zone Project will be updated once all assay results from this programme have been received, with the final 16-hole results expected within the next week.

o A mineralisation report required to apply for a Mining Licence is expected by end of November 2024.

o Mining Lease application to be submitted once the mineralisation report is received.
