Cranswick, a food producer, announced full-year results: "Reported revenue increased by 16.0 per cent to £1,667.2 million. (...) Reported adjusted Group operating profit increased by 13.9 per cent to £105.1 million. (...) Adjusted earnings per share increased by 8.4 per cent to 156.4 pence (2019: 144.3 pence). (...) Together with the interim dividend of 16.7 pence per share this is a total dividend for the year of 60.4 pence per share and compares to 55.9 pence per share previously." From a chartist point of view, the share has been supported by a rising trend line in place since 2012. Above 2750, look for 4000 and 5000 in extension.
