This company sells at a ridiculously low price earnings ration of less than 12, it has tripled in price in the last 12 months and is extremely good value at 200p. It has been backed by the both Investors Chronicle and Shares magazine as a strong buy. The technical fundamentals from a charting viewpoint are second to none. The company is is the fast growth sector of childrens toys.

ST of IC - New target price

So with Character’s shares trading on 10 times earnings, offering a 2.5 per cent prospective dividend yield, and the board committed to continuing its policy of making earnings accretive share buy backs, then I feel the upside from the Teletubbies toy launch next month is being seriously underestimated by investors.

In fact, having seen the shares hit my target price of 525p ahead of a pre-close trading update at which point I recommended running profits (‘Four small caps with further to go’, 10 September 2015), I now rate them an outright buy again on a bid-offer spread of 480p to 485p given there is almost 25 per cent upside to my new target price of 600p.

Naked Trader today - Moving away from new issues I've added some toy company Character (LON:CCT) shares.

Looks very cheap and with teletubbies going well, could be a decent statement coming soon. The shares tend to do nothing for ages then suddenly re-rate. And they have done nothing for ages!

Timing much to be desire by "naked traded" They could be on a breakout from the resistance, but the Indicators are already at overbought and soon exhausted, meaning that soon should be a better price to buy than the 507.50p.
I suspect some of the fans have already bought in today.

i also suspect that the buying is ahead of results in 3 weeks time

ST of IC today -Valuation

The bottom line is that no matter which way I look at this Character Group's shares are significantly undervalued and there appears a strong likelihood of the price rallying in the months ahead of the pre-close trading update in early September as other investors cotton on to the good news story set to emerge.

A break-out above the 535p key resistance level would also confirm the multi-month share price consolidation period is over, a signal well worth following in my view. Trading on a bid-offer spread of 510p to 525p, I rate Character's shares a strong buy and have a fair value price range between 625p to 675p. Buy.

proactive investor - Character Group jumps as UK business racks up record sales

The AIM-listed toymaker said its established in-house brands, which include Teletubbies and Peppa Pig, together with its new ranges had been selling “extremely well”

Character's in-house brands, which include Peppa Pig, have been selling "extremely well"
Character Group PLC (LON:CCT) shares jumped in late-morning trading Friday after it said it will “comfortably” meet market expectations for the full year as its UK business delivered record sales.
In a trading update, the AIM-listed toymaker said its established in-house brands, which include Teletubbies and Peppa Pig, together with its new ranges had been selling “extremely well”, while its “craze” lines had added a successful supplement to its product portfolio.

Confident of prospects for Christmas season​
The firm added that it had continued to see positive listings and strong demand from its customers for core ranges and was confident on its prospects for the all-important Christmas season.
The update will come as good news to investors, as the group’s half-year results in April reported a pre-tax profit that was around 50% lower than the same period in 2017, however at the time, the firm said growth would return in the second half and it expected results to strengthen “significantly” for the full year.
Character will release its full-year results on 29 November.
Shares were up 8% at 540p.
