Re: Increase Interim results out on Tuesday 2nd. Profits will be around £2.5m and earnings per share just under 4p. At the trading update they maintained expectations for the full year. I just wonder if they will be guiding analysts down slightly with a further 6 weeks results under their belts. The animal feed industry continues to get more competitive with growing overcapacity at a time when milk prices are under pressure and the weather has remained mild.

Re: Increase I would have thought a takeover was unlikely and certainly any party that might be interested would not be buying in the market.Although the agricultural side is the biggest part NWF also has oil distribution business & Boughey grocery storage/transport division.Carr's results were quite decent so maybe we have just attracted some interest or maybe as many of the shares are owned by their customers Cheshire & NW farmers are not doing as badly as they claim and are buying a few more.As a holder I probably should not say this but the shares are probably fairly fully valued at the moment!

Re: Increase It's puzzling as the other two animal feed companies, Carr's Group and Wynnstay have also been strong this week. I'm not aware of anything positive happening with the milk price or extra support for farmers etc which could justify such a rise. It could be that some investor is buying relatively defensive shares as tobacco stocks have also been good performers this week. Possibly Forfarmers who bought the BOCM Pauls business have been talking about expanding further in the UK. In other words I haven't really got a scooby but the wife of the Carr's chairman has just sold some shares so she thinks it's a selling opportunity.

Increase Anyone know the reason for the increase.

Results Reasonable performance in view of difficult cattle feed market with heating oil sales performing well.Share price recovery recently means better prospects are probably in the price.
