I wouldn't call 1p a share a fantastic dividend, but I'll take it (whenever it arrives in my HL account).
However, the wife's sharesave scheme matures on 1st Feb and we maxxed out to buy shares at 82p. Unlike many, we won't be offloading shares anytime soon though.
It's the pessimistic forecasts for 2024 in the trading updates that too many are focusing on, and CARD have previous for downplaying excellent results. Looking back I'd say retail did far better than many predicted in 2023, and it wouldn't surprise me if 2024 is similar.
Let's be honest, the high street retail sector continues to get a bad press, which I suspect is one reason why the CARD sp isn't where we think it probably should be. Perhaps MOON is immune from this, as they're not on the high street?
Anyway, +3 years in and I'm a content to keep holding my CARD shares (and my teenage son's holding too). We will get to our personal target of 150p, and beyond (and before he takes control of his Junior ISA in 2025).
I've been watching MTRO with interest for some time, but I'm not invested here, yet. MTRO looks a difficult one to predict currently, and I'm inclined to remain cautious for the time being.
With the good news mostly already out in the public domain, much is already priced into the SP, so tomorrow could yet end up to be a damp squib with the likely stampede of profit takers.
Hopefully after tomorrow's dust has settled CARD will push onwards and upwards as we know more about future plans.
The bounces appear to be getting smaller though.
In my experience, the past is not a reliable indicator of the future.
The economic climate today and for the foreseeable is not the economic climate of the recent past. With no end in sight to sky high energy prices, the rocky road is set to continue in my opinion, for at least a couple more years.
I do know exactly what I have bought into thank you very much, and CARD will deliver on my expectations, but I believe in a different timescale to what you predict.
We will see who's crystal ball is more accurate at the trading update on 17th January.
