Bulls say / Bears say

Cranswick reported FY25 adjusted pretax profit of £197.9 million, surpassing analysts’ consensus of around £192 million, and raised its final dividend by nearly 13% to 76 pence per share (Reuters).
In Q1 FY26, revenue climbed 9.7% year-on-year (like-for-like up 7.9%), driven by robust consumer demand for premium meat products, new retail contracts, and contributions from the Blakemans and JSR Genetics acquisitions (Investing.com).
The group made a record capital investment of £138 million in FY25 to expand processing capacity and enhance operational efficiencies, underpinning margin improvement and future volume growth across core and adjacent categories (Investing.com).
Net debt excluding lease liabilities rose to £39.7 million in FY25, up from £0.1 million the prior year, reflecting increased leverage amid heavy capital investment that could pressure the balance sheet in a rising-rate environment (Investing.com).
Cranswick’s shares tumbled after UK supermarkets suspended supplies from its Lincolnshire farm following animal welfare concerns, highlighting governance and reputational risks that may disrupt operations and customer relationships (Reuters).
Plans for a ‘megafarm’ expansion at Methwold were unanimously blocked by King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Council on environmental and climate-impact grounds under the Supreme Court’s Finch ruling, jeopardizing long-term capacity growth and strategic diversification efforts (Financial Times).
