What's up with C&G... low volumes, huge price jumps...

From low 30s to 45/- today...

Year end is 30 Sep 2010 so does someone know the 1H 2009-10 results beforehand????

@VVS an illiquid stock like C&G can move very high up because it is very hard to find supply or very far down because of it being hard to find demand...

many internet sites have put it as a stock to watch because of its price friendly products

@ Guru267 and Vituz

I find this company sickening with their sick 67 cents dividend pay out. How do they arrive at the sick figure even when their EPS is 8.80. When will they ever start paying some different even if it is .50 or 5 shillings for a change. Find the dividends history of this company for the last five or ten yrs.

actually if take a closer look at the those end of year results...turnover doubled but the cost of sales and cost of distribution of their goods tripled n caused their profits to tumble...if they can reduce the cost of sales then they can create value for their owners...

Car and General is too illiquid. Today it only traded 1000 shares, so the rice should not trouble people.

I would rather keep with BOC

Lakini, another rise in price today... Is there something we do not know?

Are there no sellers at this price?

@Wa_ithaka

2010 1H EPS 5.98
2009 1H EPS 4.33

In January 2011, they will announce EPS of 14 shillings for Financial year ending Sept 2010 and a DPS of .67. The much they can do beyond that is declare a bonus.

Brilliant performance all considered. However, the board and mgt of C&G are clearly not particularly interested in signalling their success to the market. Poor dividends have caused this to stock to remain undervalued by the market for far too long!
