How to Read This Chart

This chart tracks the historical stock price of Cranswick over time. You can switch between daily, weekly, and monthly views and select custom time ranges — from a single day to the full available history. Use the toggle to view price changes in absolute currency terms or as a percentage change relative to the starting date.

Total Return vs. Price Return

The "Total Return" toggle includes reinvested dividends on top of the pure price movement. This is critical because dividends can account for a significant portion of long-term returns.

Intraday Price Data

When viewing a one-day time frame, the chart displays real-time intraday price movements. This is useful for observing how Cranswick stock reacts to market openings, earnings releases, or breaking news throughout the trading session.

What to Look For

Look for long-term trends (sustained upward or downward movements over months and years), support and resistance levels (price zones where the stock repeatedly bounces or reverses), and volatility (how much the price fluctuates day to day). Comparing Cranswick's price chart to a market index like the S&P 500 can reveal whether the stock is outperforming or underperforming the broader market.

Income Statement Key Figures

Revenue and Revenue Growth

Revenue is the starting point of every income statement — it measures the total sales Cranswick generates from its core business. Revenue growth (expressed as year-over-year percentage change) is one of the most important indicators of business momentum. Sustained growth above 10 % annually is generally considered strong, while declining revenue is a serious warning sign that demands investigation.

Gross Margin

Gross margin = (Revenue − Cost of Goods Sold) ÷ Revenue. It reveals what percentage of each dollar of revenue Cranswick retains after direct production costs. High gross margins (above 50 %) are typical of asset-light businesses like software and brands, while capital-intensive industries like manufacturing often operate below 30 %. Compare Cranswick's gross margin to industry peers and track it over time to spot improving or deteriorating pricing power.

EBIT and EBIT Margin

EBIT measures operating profit — what remains after subtracting all operating expenses (including R&D, sales, and administrative costs) from gross profit. The EBIT margin shows this as a percentage of revenue. Because it excludes interest and taxes, EBIT allows fair comparisons between companies with different debt levels and tax jurisdictions. A rising EBIT margin indicates improving operational efficiency.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Net income is the company's final profit after all expenses, interest, and taxes. Dividing net income by the number of shares outstanding gives you EPS — the single most influential metric in stock valuation. Consistent EPS growth is the primary driver of long-term stock price appreciation. Always check whether EPS growth comes from genuine profit improvement or from share buybacks reducing the share count.

Shares Outstanding

The total number of shares Cranswick has issued. A declining share count (through buybacks) boosts EPS and signals management confidence. A rising share count (through stock issuance) dilutes existing shareholders. Always monitor this number alongside EPS to get the full picture of per-share value creation.

Analyst Estimates

The projected figures represent consensus estimates from professional analysts. Compare these forecasts against Cranswick's historical growth rates to assess whether expectations are realistic. A company that consistently beats consensus estimates tends to see its stock price rewarded over time, while repeated misses erode investor confidence.

Cranswick stock margins

The Cranswick margin analysis displays the gross margin, EBIT margin, as well as the profit margin of Cranswick. The EBIT margin (EBIT/sales) indicates the percentage of sales that remains as operating profit. The profit margin shows the percentage of sales that remains for Cranswick.

Cranswick SWOT Analysis

Strengths

Cranswick PLC has a strong brand reputation in the food industry, known for producing high-quality products.

The company has a diverse product portfolio, offering a range of premium and own-label food products to cater to different consumer preferences.

Cranswick PLC has established long-term partnerships with key suppliers, ensuring a consistent and reliable supply of raw materials.

The company has a well-established distribution network and strong relationships with retailers, enabling widespread product availability.

Weaknesses

Cranswick PLC is dependent on the UK market for a significant portion of its revenue, making it vulnerable to any changes in the local economy or consumer behavior.

The company's reliance on a few major customers increases the risk of reduced bargaining power and potential revenue loss if these customers switch to alternative suppliers.

Cranswick PLC faces increasing competition from both larger food companies and smaller niche producers, requiring continuous innovation to maintain market share.

Opportunities

There is a growing consumer trend towards healthier and more sustainable food options, which presents an opportunity for Cranswick PLC to expand its range of organic and ethically sourced products.

International expansion is another potential opportunity, allowing the company to diversify its revenue streams and reduce dependence on the UK market.

Investing in technological advancements and automation can improve operational efficiency and reduce costs, enhancing competitiveness in the industry.

Threats

Brexit and potential trade barriers may impact Cranswick PLC's ability to import/export goods and access key markets, leading to increased costs and potential disruptions to supply chains.

Fluctuating raw material prices, particularly in relation to meat commodities, can affect Cranswick PLC's profitability and margins.

Changes in consumer preferences or food regulations could require significant product reformulations, impacting costs and potentially reducing demand for certain products.

Cranswick annual returns

Annual Return

What This Chart Shows

This chart breaks down 's total annual return into two components: price return (gains or losses from stock price movement) and dividend return (income received from dividend payments). Together, they represent the total return an investor would have earned in each calendar year.

Price Return

Price return measures the percentage change in 's stock price from January 1st to December 31st of each year. Positive bars indicate the stock appreciated; negative bars show a decline. This is the component most investors focus on, but it tells only part of the story — especially for dividend-paying stocks.

Dividend Return

Dividend return represents the income generated from dividends paid during the year, expressed as a percentage of the starting stock price. While it may seem small in any single year (typically 1–4 % for established companies), dividends compound significantly over decades and have historically contributed roughly 40 % of total stock market returns.

What to Look For

Examine how many years showed positive vs. negative returns to gauge consistency. A stock with mostly positive years and small drawdowns suggests lower risk. Also compare 's annual returns to a benchmark index — consistently outperforming the market is a hallmark of a strong investment. Pay attention to the worst years: understanding downside risk is just as important as chasing upside potential.

Cranswick shares outstanding

The number of shares was Cranswick in 2025 — This indicates how many shares 54.535 M is divided into. Since shareholders are the owners of a company, each share represents a small portion of the company's ownership.
