Hoping this will breach 500 before the 11/4 ex DD. Then I can sell up and buy DJT.US on the dip (just kidding!)
Hi Soton, yes i like this one, it's one of those shares i have bought and sold a few times in the past and always been lucky to make a profit on, I have an average of 3.90 that's not including dividends received, i hold the bulk of these in my sipp but also hold them in an isa, I think i may do a compromise and hold onto the ones in my sipp and if it rises anymore sell off the shares in my isa and use for a holiday, we're only young once lol
best of luck
Hi Rob....Same boat as you on what should I do on Aviva...My plan is to hang on for the divi and if it goes back up to £5 then sell a chunk...Have to say Aviva has been my best performing share...(got in at the height of the pandemic at 245p) Have added since and have an average of 330p
Clued, I'm not going to disagree with you on that, also another thought that's making me very reluctant to sell is if inflation and interest rates drop as is predicted it could give UK shares a further boost, but? this is at a very high price at the moment and anything can happen, i'm sure you know how it goes, you hold and it drops right back taking away your gains, you sell and it keeps on rising
good position to be in with this share at the moment though
Rovleo, "could drop back to under £4 some time after exdiv, but maybe it won't" Highly unlikely unless you mean in far off years to come !! Also, some Analysts have price targets over 500p.
AbjectPerformer, you wouldn't want to be buying at this price, the question is to hold or sell, this could drop back to under £4 some time after exdiv, but maybe it won't, if only we could have a peek into the future
I think when reading these comments the gist I’m getting is aviva is probably worth holding onto with my 424p avg, but it isn’t worth buying more or doing dividend reinvestment.
TheTrotsky, not that it really matters here but Rolls Royce is already very close to the pre Covid max price. During 2020 a massive share dilution took place with RR. Existing shareholders who did not cough up got diluted by 77%.
Rolls Royce isn't really a fair comparitor. Five years ago, pre-Covid, RR was trading at c905p and by June 2020 it was trading at c403p before reaching its nadir at c75p in November 2020. RR has since recovered but is still c53% below its share price five years ago!
By comparison, five years ago AV's old shares were trading at c426p each. Adjusting for the subsequent capital return and capital reduction, that equates to c425p per new share, as compared to c497p as of the close on Thursday (plus dividends).
So, yes, it's not unreasonable to suggest that AV, a strong buy at 420p, might become a moderate buy at 496p. RR on the other hand still has a lot of ground to make up but hasn't done too badly the last 12-15 months (up over four-fold).
“Well surely
If a share is a strong buy at 420p it’s only a moderate buy at 496? “
Using that statement, How would that apply to Roll Royce…? Up from 65 pence to 427 but still a strong buy…
Each analyst would apply a grade to “individual stock” at a given time.
Not trying to prove you wrong but it’s quite a broad statement..?
Well surely
If a share is a strong buy at 420p it’s only a moderate buy at 496?

RNS 26/3: “… Amanda Blanc’s LTIP award, following the sale of a proportion of vested awards to cover taxes, is subject to a two-year holding period.”
———-“Well done, Ms Blanc!”———-
Didn’t she just sell 2.57 million pounds worth of shares…?
Very well done Ms Blanc.
,,,,(and why not!)then this is yet more reason to hang on to these. More juicy profits to come. Well done, Ms Blanc!
Oh well,
It was bad news for the share when they announced the probe in to the deal and now it’s bad news that they are not…!
From strength to strength….520 today..?
Hopefully offset the broker cut
My avg is about 420p £6500
Holding
It's been announced this morning that the UK competition authority has decided not to perform an in-depth probe of the merger. Good news. Might give the share price another small boost.
I imagine there will be many ups and downs yet to come, so for the traders amongst us, good luck spotting the peaks and troughs, there is money to be made for sure by the lucky and/or skilful.
me, i do trade small blocks of AV. back and forth, and make some money doing that (and have fun too along the way), but my stance for some time now with the bulk of my shares here is simply to hold l/t — I think it’s a financially sound company, progressively trimmed into better shape and clearer focus by blanc, who will obviously make some mis-steps as we all do, but overall has been pretty impressive and decisive in my view.
and from a pure value basis, i think UK financials, insurance in particular, has been underpriced for 2-3 years, and as political risk declines overseas buyers will dip their toes in more. unsure what to think about IR cuts this year … some cuts likely, but some are already priced in … possible that market has got ahead of itself slightly re pace of UK IR cuts, which might trigger a 20p-30p retrace some time in 2024 if gloom takes hold?
medium / longer term, looking to slice circa 550p, then to cash in a larger portion 600p+, but not in a hurry about that at all …. sound financials, good management, decent divi, progressive policy, some growth prospects.
ajmo.
[as ever, if putin nukes berlin, or xi drops anthrax on taiwan, all bets are off, and we will all have bigger things to worry about than aviva’s share price.]
The numbers say that AV. is still significantly undervalued.
Plenty more in this one for now
I can remember Warren Buffett in the,late,eighties being asked, when do you kown when to sell and,his,answer was I don't my opinion Aviva is,still a buy up 550 then a long term hold
Aviva has been a strange stock over the years…
I thought/Hoped I would see it @£500, when first purchased during covid but it’s been hovering around the £4 for sometime and more recently £365 ish… Sentiment has changed ,I can see it making £511 over the next few days taking into account the upcoming dividend plus the 5-to-6 million pounds worth +/- of shares they are buying back per day, increasing the current stock value daily .
After XD will depend how long and how much they throw per day at the market. Currently spending an average of 6mil a day would give around 10 weeks of buying but that would be less if they decided to increase the buying after XD, therefore supporting the fall in price after the XD day.
My personal view: this is £4:50 share trading above its price, after the support has gone how quickly will it fall back…?
DYOR. Good luck with you OWN decisions 😇
