Card factory message disappoints investors
SHARES in Card Factory fell by 4.66 per cent yesterday, after the firm revealed a nine per cent increase in profit for 2014, but failed to announce details of future returns to shareholders. Like-for-like sales growth slowed to 1.8 per cent from 3.1 per cent last year, hurt by declining sales of Christmas card box sets. However, the firm said it was confident of its future prospects.
