Paul’s opinion - CMCX still looks decent value to me, despite the shares tripling this year. Performance has radically improved, so the company is worth a lot more. Valuation doesn’t look even remotely stretched to me, so I think there could be further upside here, maybe to 400-500p/share possibly (in the fullness of time [nice and vague!]).

Both Graham and I have reviewed CMCX, this is now the 6th time in calendar 2024, and we’ve been unanimously positive on each occasion, as the facts justify the superb share price performance. So it’s not a case of us falling in love with a big winner for us, it still stacks up fully on fundamentals I think.

Note that the share count has actually dropped slightly over the 5-year period shown below. Note CMCX is controlled by founder Peter Cruddas, who controls c.60%, so he'll be zooming up in the rankings of the next Sunday Times rich list, given the share price performance here!

Former President Donald Trump has threatened 200% tariffs on John Deere if the company moves production and jobs to Mexico. Experts warn such tariffs would raise prices on US farmers and likely violate Trump's own trade agreement with Canada and Mexico

Police chief says....."leave or die"

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) hurricane database shows that at least 40 storms in the Atlantic have reached category five status since 1924.

Hurricane Camille crashed into Mississippi in 1969, producing a peak storm surge of 24ft and destroying almost everything along the coast. It killed 259 people, most of them in Virginia, and caused about $1.4bn (£1.06bn) in damage

Hurricane Andrew hit southern Florida in 1992 with sustained wind speeds of up to 165mph and gusts as high as 174mph. 26 people were killed. Dozens of other deaths are believed to have been caused by the storm. After causing $30bn in damage, it was considered the costliest natural disaster in US history at the time

Hurricane Michael hit Florida in 2018 with 160mph wind speeds and was the strongest storm to make landfall in the state. At least 74 deaths were attributed to the storm - 59 in the US and 15 in Central America - and it caused damaged estimated at $25.1bn (£19.17bn)

Milton comes less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene hit the US. Helene killed more than 200 people and become the deadliest hurricane to strike the US mainland since the 2005 Hurricane Katrina disaster in which nearly 2,000 people died
