Roles to be made redundant at funeral parlours in Bolton

A funeral care business is set to make roles redundant at its Bolton branches, it has emerged. The Co-Operative Funeralcare, which currently has two branches in Bolton, has confirmed that it will be reshaping the structure of the Bolton team. As a result of this, certain roles will be removed whilst new ones will be created as consultations are currently ongoing. It is currently unclear how many roles will be removed following the company's restructuring. A spokesperson for Co-op Funeralcare said: 'At Co-op Funeralcare, we are committed to providing the highest level of service and care to bereaved families and their loved ones in our local communities. READ MORE: Beautiful tributes at funeral held for 'charming' and 'great gentleman' Funeral to be held for 'icon in British politics' Norman Tebbit Bolton death notices and funeral announcements from The Bolton News 'As such, we regularly review our operations to ensure that our colleagues are best placed and adequately supported to deliver the highest standards for our clients and those within our care. 'We have identified the need to reshape our team in Bolton, which will enable us to further enhance our ability to serve the needs of the local community and ensure colleagues feel fully supported whilst carrying out their work. 'The changes we are proposing will see certain roles removed whilst new ones will be created and consultation with colleagues is currently ongoing.' The Co-Operative Funeralcare currently boasts 800 funeral homes in the heart of communities. The business offers pre-paid funeral plans, cremations, funeral arrangement and handling legal and administrative tasks like probate. The Bolton branches are located on Crompton Way and Albert Road in Farnworth. In April, The Co-operative Group reported annual profits jump higher, but warned it will face more than £200 million in costs and spending pressures over the year ahead. The member-owned mutual said it was bracing for 'new headwind and investment costs' in 2025 but would make 'active choices' to support staff and customers members amid cost-of-living challenges. Co-op warned cost hits would include another £80 million from the impact of shoplifting across its retail estate, following an £80 million bill from this in 2024, and £50 million from the increase in national insurance contributions. Its funeralcare arm was boosted by a 2.8 per cent jump in revenues to £289 million and notched up a jump in profits to £103 million from £13 million in 2023 thanks to an increase in funeral plan investment returns. Underlying earnings also lifted across its legal and insurance businesses, to £27 million and £15 million respectively. The group said it remained on track to hit its membership target of eight million by 2030 and open more than 120 new retail and franchise shops by the end of 2025.

Inari Amertron Berhad's (KLSE:INARI) earnings have declined over year, contributing to shareholders 39% loss

While it may not be enough for some shareholders, we think it is good to see the Inari Amertron Berhad (KLSE:INARI) share price up 13% in a single quarter. But that doesn't change the reality of under-performance over the last twelve months. The cold reality is that the stock has dropped 41% in one year, under-performing the market. The recent uptick of 6.5% could be a positive sign of things to come, so let's take a look at historical fundamentals. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price. Unfortunately Inari Amertron Berhad reported an EPS drop of 29% for the last year. The share price decline of 41% is actually more than the EPS drop. This suggests the EPS fall has made some shareholders more nervous about the business. The company's earnings per share (over time) is depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers). Before buying or selling a stock, we always recommend a close examination of historic growth trends, available here. A Different Perspective While the broader market lost about 3.7% in the twelve months, Inari Amertron Berhad shareholders did even worse, losing 39% (even including dividends). Having said that, it's inevitable that some stocks will be oversold in a falling market. The key is to keep your eyes on the fundamental developments. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 2%, each year, over five years. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. For instance, we've identified 1 warning sign for Inari Amertron Berhad that you should be aware of. Of course Inari Amertron Berhad may not be the best stock to buy.
