Market Report: Caldwell Investments
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.CALDWELL INVESTMENTS, currently an insignificant textile and nursery products operation with a pounds 4.5m stock market valuation, could be heading for a dramatic change of fortune. Stockbroker Charles Stanley suggests profits will hit pounds 1m this year and pounds 1.5m next. Some regard the Stanley forecasts as cautious. The group currently spends much of its time selling underwear, mostly produced in Romania, to the Germans. But a new gadget called a Ninaclip is prompting some astonishing projections. The clip instantly snaps accessories to prams and buggies and is also seen as having a future in children's car seats. If it succeeds Caldwell would be transformed. The shares are 40p; last year they touched 67.5p
SUGGESTIONS THAT Alan Sugar may attempt to take Amstrad, the consumer electronics group, private through a cash bid are going the rounds. The shares rose 4p to 46.5p.
