Market Cap: £380.79M
Card Factory plc, with a market cap of £380.79 million, has shown mixed financial health. The company affirmed its earnings guidance for fiscal year 2026, anticipating mid-to-high single-digit sales growth. Despite a stable weekly volatility and satisfactory debt levels with a net debt to equity ratio of 16.6%, short-term assets (£98.7M) fall short of covering both short-term (£104.3M) and long-term liabilities (£164.4M). Although earnings have grown significantly over the past five years, recent negative annual earnings growth (-3.4%) contrasts with the specialty retail industry trend, indicating potential challenges ahead despite trading at good value compared to peers.
