Clinton Cards (CC.)     

philstott - 04 Dec 2003 13:09

Does anyone know why the shares have fallen today despite Christmas coming, past year's increased trading and new stores opened?

hangon - 07 Jul 2010 15:34 - 36 of 63

FWIW, I think this stock is held by a family so the management is somewhat blinkered from the Market gnerally. They will believe things will return soon and that "everyone has a birthday"
However, as folk lose jobs there will be fewer office leaving do's and fewer birthday collections etc (every office has an organiser), put that with the oversupply of cheaper cards in the High Street and you have dead stock on shelves.
Clinton has expensive shops to maintain and their cards aren't cheap either.
Indeed I'm surprised it's this high with little to drive UK plc into profit for the next 3-4 years....What do others see...?
EDIT -(7Jy10)-Skinny, yes and I recall seeing two "Card Factory" shops at each end of at least one High Street - don't let's forget that small shops can sometime negotiate very low rents, to "tidy-up" the area.

With the likes of the Card Factory, I can't believe these are still around.

lol skinny.

last time it eas 5p it hit 50p within 12 months.

mitzy - 13 Oct 2011 11:09 - 48 of 63

Off again when will it finish.

skinny - 13 Oct 2011 11:13 - 49 of 63

As I said in post 37 - I can't believe they are still around!

mitzy - 13 Oct 2011 12:29 - 50 of 63

I may buy @5p whether they can go to 50p again its 50/50.

mitzy - 18 Oct 2011 11:01 - 51 of 63

Big faller today.

Juzzle - 27 Oct 2011 07:42 - 52 of 63

Bad results this morning. Having to buy in cards (many from Hallmark), while rivals design and print their own, makes it impossible for Clinton to compete.

skinny - 27 Oct 2011 07:46 - 53 of 63

I'm surprised that sales only fell 2.9% - they are an 80's throw back.

mitzy - 22 Dec 2011 08:38 - 54 of 63

High street drop-out.
