Re: NEW ARTICLE: Stockwatch: Buy into this f... Thx for this - good article from Edmond Jackson. It concludes:"All considered, it looks fair to regard risk as being on the upside, targeting 175p to 200p a share over the next two years as earnings and their rating improve. While this kind of business is in the front-line of any recession, Creston's financial strength would enable it to make attractively-priced acquisitions in a downturn. Customers also tend to be loyal to their marketing agencies even though budgets can vary. So despite the chart high, there are good reasons to consider the stock as a tuck-away."

Next update will be the interims The AGM has come and gone. Good to see the share price inching up again.I e-mailed CRE again - it seems that the next trading news will be the interims in November "As there is no new information to update the market on since our last trading update on 9 June".This is good news. There can have been no material change in trading since that positive results outlook in June, otherwise CRE would have had to say something. So nothing has changed, and hopefully we can therefore expect good interim numbers.

Re: AGM coming soon thanks GretelFinal Div is 2.85p to be paid on 11/9/15 (assuming approval at AGM).The recent acquisitions (Splendid & stake in 18feet&rising) should start to show benefits filtering through in this year. H1 runs to 30/9/15 so some sort of update on progress would be welcome via the AGM otherwise we wait for the interims (reported towards the end of November in 2014).SG

Sector takeover activity today I see there's a bid for Chime this morning. It values Chime at a current year P/E of 16.That would value CRE at around 225p per share given forecast 14p EPS this year.
