Well played dduck, I hold ESUR in my Hot Ducks Dividend Portfolio* with a similar entry price (207.8p) bought 'last November. As you correctly point out, the total annualized dividend ( inc' specials ) is 7.9% which compares very favourably to the FTSE 250 average yield of 2.54% For patsyc, You may find this free site helpful for all dividend info', ESUR is (at the time of posting) at Number 185..... http://www.upcomingdividends.co.uk/dividendyield.py?market=ftse250&sort=&order=&specialDiv=true&yieldDetails=ESUR#ESUR GLA & Best regards, Blue * see LSE General Chat
My opinion.
agree, this is great value, surprised by the drop, but a bad day for the markets in general
is that just your opinion, or have there been 'rumours'?
On the radar for a takeover.
well, it's not that hard to find out... however, the interim was 5.1p, and the final announced today is 11.7p - goes ex-div on the 9th April. makes a full year dividend of 16.8p. equates at current share price to a yield of 7.9%.
Is this dividend full or interim?... And amount???
to Admiral . Admiral made £357 million profit before tax and Esure made £103 million before tax. Esure are currently valued at approx. £880 million (at 210p), Admiral are valued at approx. £4.1 billion (at 1480p). so, very approximately - Esure on a p/e of 8.5, whilst Admiral are on a p/e of 11.5. I don't think Esure warrants that level of valuation below Admiral.
That drop was perfect for entry or top up...the divi is 11.7p work it out managed to get more @207 well happy
equates to approx. 5.3% payout on a 220p price. I have just taken advantage of the drop , so might well stay in for that now.
ex-div on 9th April and paid on 22 May
Anyone, please??
feel this is overdone, but just my opinion
esure Group Plc (ESUR.L) Announced, in its preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2014, that gross written premiums was £517.80 million, compared with £535.80 million reported in the previous year. Its profit before tax was £103.30 million, compared with £118.40 million in the last year. Its basic EPS stood at 19.84p, compared with 4.57p posted in the prior year. An interim dividend of 5.1p/share (£21.3 million) was declared by the board of directors on 1 August 2014 (2013: interim dividend 2.5p/share, £10.4 million).
Target price = 275p http://sleekmoney.com/deutsche-bank-reiterates-buy-rating-for-esure-group-plc-esur/163636/ Nb: Consensus rating of “Hold” and a consensus target price of 264.2
Tomorrow, the 10th GLA
Downgrade by Berenberg is the reason for today's fall.
200 day MA now broken, and accompanied by yesterday's spike in volume, at 682,000 shares traded, is very good sign. The only issue is the RSI which is moving into overbought territory (noted).
It's good to see eSure shrug off the AA survey, especially as investors realise motor premiums are likely to rise. Either way, eSure is heading toward it's 200 day MA of 239. If it convincingly breaks that, then it's happy days.
of the price war, but ( to slightly amend Winston's quote) this may be the beginning of the end! From the BBC website: The cost of car insurance could rise by up to 10% in the coming year, and home insurance premiums are unlikely to go any lower, according to the AA. GLA. DYOR.
Good move CN1986. The AA Insurance Index is the reason for today's fall, so expect a small sell off from today onward. http://www.theguardian.com/business/marketforceslive/2015/jan/20/admiral-esure-and-direct-line-drop-as-premium-rises-disappoint
Out at 236, but will be coming back in around the 200 mark again hopefully. Good luck to all holding through to the divi after yesterday's jump!
Not only has it broken it's 100 day MA it did it with a gap up. That's positive. Share volume was 485k last Friday and that's bigger than normal showing much more interest in the stock than usual.
Know how you feel. Usually when I sell it's guaranteed to send the sp up! Luckily I have held on here but I still need another 30 pence to break even
