The upward trend in the shares seen since mid December seems to have been reversed by the Trading Results released on Friday.
http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exch ... 87105.htmlI particularly liked this extract...
"Group sales were up 13% in the 5 week period versus the prior year, with total customer numbers also up 13% for the same period. Like-for-like sales were -3.8% for the 5 weeks ended 1 January 2017 having improved from -8.1% for the 4 weeks ended 27 November 2016. Like-for-like customer numbers were -4.2% having improved from -9.7% for the same periods."
So like-for-like sales are down over Christmas, but that is good news because down by less than they were in November.
If Crawshaw closes unchanged today the price will be below the closing price three years ago.
