Look at those results today.Superbly run business, funding good growth from own cash generation. Regular increases in dividend. Have held for many years within PEP - not one to double overnight, but IMO one for serious investors to lock away for the long term. 10 for 1 share split may help marketability going forward.Always DYOR etc.

Limit Buy triggered today @ 314.3 initial target 340p stop 298p

Clinging on, but at least hasn't tanked yet. Maybe market feels this is fair value at this level?

Well done.lol

not a great place to be putting new money that's for sure

He who dares! (Usually gets shxt on) :0)

Stopped out for nowt :0)

Remarkable how sp has clung on, perhaps ex-divi on Thursday has something to do with it. Still think a recovery play isn't far away, will wait and see what sort of reaction if any after Thursday. Watching, far from the madding crowd :0)

Err I must be going insane. This isn't supposed to happen SP is rising :0)

NOTE TO SELF IGNORE QUESTER, PAPERS AND ESPECIALLY BROKERS AND DOOM MERCHANTS LOL!!!

Chris from motely fool - PZ Cussons

Shares in PZ Cussons (LSE: PZC) are up 5% today and, as with Thorntons, there has been no significant news flow released by the company. This takes their gain in 2014 to 8.5% but, of course, PZ Cussons’ one major weakness continues to hold it back: a lack of regional diversification.

Clearly, the challenging trading conditions in PZ Cussons’ main market, Nigeria, are an external factor that the company has little or no control over. However, it continues to affect its performance and is a key reason why earnings for the current year are expected to be 3% lower than for last year.

Furthermore, with PZ Cussons trading on a price to earnings (P/E) ratio of 19, it seems to be overvalued given its current level of performance.

dc - the trade that got away :0) I don't agree with the above I still think there cheap but we'll see.

Your doing well. :-))

Recovering nicely so far. (famous last words)

Took a chunk of the table today. Resistance 350p a bridge too far at mo. May consolidate to close gap to 335p had a good run.

PZ Cussons has bought-out Glanbia's 50% stake in Nutricima, the Nigerian joint venture between the pair, for £21m cash and giving it full ownership and control.

PZ Cussons has also entered into a new long-term agreement with Glanbia Ingredients Ireland for the supply of milk-based products to Nutricima.

The Nutricima joint venture with Glanbia was formed in 2003 to build a facility in Nigeria to supply evaporated milk and milk powder to the local Nigerian market.

A second facility for the manufacture of UHT products was opened in 2009. Over the last decade, Nutricima has developed market leading consumer brands including Nunu, Olympic and Yo. These brands will be further strengthened and developed under the full ownership and control of PZ Cussons.

The joint venture's revenues, EBITDA and PBT for the year ended 31 May 2014 were £74.4m, £3.2m and £1.3m respectively. Gross assets at 31 May 2014 were £57.9m.

The buy-out has been completed using existing facilities and is expected to be earnings enhancing in the next financial year.

Harry - Interesting to watch developments in Nigeria on the news last night. Maybe the results of the Election will assist sp (or not). Good news above.
