Jarvis Sec Share Price (JIM)

Second quarterly dividend 3.5p Very good for investors who got in earlier also as rise in the shares today as well.

Surpised TD don't offer £3 a share -even if I would rather keep them at £3 !

Hi ! New to this one I to read ( I C ). this looks on paper very good.has anyone got any positive info to help me decide on this one.

Simon Thompson of Investors Chronicle writes: "Imagine being able to buy an income share offering a yield of well over 5 per cent and with prospects of the company growing earnings and dividends in double-digit rates in the years to come. And don't for one moment think that the current dividend is not well covered by net earnings. In fact, it was covered a healthy 1.5 times last year and will be in the future, too, because the board has pledged to pay out two-thirds of the earnings as dividends." "WH Ireland upgraded its target price 12 per cent to 280p post the results, but I have a fair value estimate of 260p, which would provide us with 18 per cent share price upside over the next year and dividends worth almost 6 per cent of the current share price to produce a total return of almost 25 per cent. If achieved by this time next year, the shares would be rated on 13 times 2014 earnings estimates and offer a forward yield of 5.3 per cent. On a bid-offer spread of 217p-220p, Jarvis shares rate a medium-term buy."

and haven't sold any so I sold some when they went ex-div and now wondering will they go up or down. Always good to have some cash just in case. Still a bloody good company to hold long term, just trying to squeeze a real profit instead of a paper one.

Jarvis Securities: WH Ireland revises target price from 250p to 280p leaving its buy recommendation unchanged.
