Wow
I'm now thinking that I should of let the divi go and buy back the other end
Didn't see it coming so far back but knowing my luck, had I done that it wouldn't happen lol
It'll return to form soon enough
You imagine how , when the tragedy happening in the bread basket of Europe , Ukraine, gets settle how Greggs and others may benefit.
We were 2p up at close and now we're 22p down
Damned after close trading but as you say you've just got to be in here for as long as it takes and luckily I'm in front, well half what I was after this unforseen drop.
With the divi bagged tomorrow, I'll await the Q1 results on the 14th which should be excellent.
This snippet certainly fills me with even more hope

Sadly I can't buy any more tomorrow because I've nothing left in the trading pot but I most certainly would have done.
Good luck for the future.
Stocks like this are often owned by long term investors who have dividends set to auto reinvest. When they kick in the price recovers from the ex divi drop naturally. If a stock is good, it's good whenever you buy it. I may well top up in the dip tomorrow morning.
Nice move with the Q1 update before the dividends paid
Good news will bring the price back up and cover some or all of the drop from going ex.
Up over the £28 again and with a wide spread
That tells us they'll be buying up anything being sold
NICE
Gaining some traction is the SP
Ready for that stonking dividend
Steak Bake for me !!!!!!!!!
Ex this Thursday,
Be sure to visit one of the shop's and treat yourself ;0)
Divi day is 24th MAY ( but well worth waiting for)
Our three local shop's are always very busy and I only see this business going one way, upwards!
I'll be keeping hold and taking the divi without any doubt, then I'll possibly have another look at it, when it's back over £29 pounds.
I was in London last week and nipped into a Greggs. Prices were about 20% more than in my local Greggs. The queue was out of the door. There isn't a high concentration of Greggs in London yet (compared to other big cities). I really think that there is a lot of room for growth in London, and looking at the queues at the one I visited, there's potential for increasing prices still further.
Happy divi week everyone. Don't panic at the inevitable ex-divi drop at the end of the week, it will recover a bit when the auto reinvestment start to kick in and I suspect go from strength to strength thereafter.
If I had more money, I'd of bought more on yesterday's heavy drop but it's a great dividend and any drops will soon be recovered when the next set of results are posted.
In the meantime, make sure you get in the shops from time to time ;0)
86p Divi incoming. I expect this to climb over the next couple of weeks before the inevitable ex divi dive. The long term picture looks really good. I agree £30 this year is definitely doable. That potential growth on top of a guaranteed divi, it's a top up for me!
Obviously a sample size of one but the new greggs drivethrough built beside a Costa and mcdonalds drive though is permanently empty. Zero cars at it while the other 2 are always busy. I know the high street stores do fine has anyone else seen how busy the drivethroughs are?
I'd expect well over £30 at some stage, this year
Looks like price is heading towards an all time high. Steady progress. A definite HOLD in my book.
My favourite item in Greggs has always been the Tuna crunch baguette
I absolutely love it.
Just bought another 850 shares with the cash balance sitting in my trading account and will take the 46p dividend
Not yet, but I'll report back in due course. Shops all busy.
Those sausage rolls are definitely naughty, but I love em!
Yea it's terrible but I love their steak bakes
Suptuous and sinful sausage rolls. I shall never forget that image.
Sad, but true. That's why most companie that manufacture "sin" products, e.g. alcohol, tobacco and junk food, do so well and their products are msass-market staples. Definitely not good re. Potential health outcomes. I know it's not fashionable to quote from, but the Bible does warn that the wages of sin is death.
Invest in a share which is a contributor to the UK's lazy and unhealthy eating habits resulting in further costs for the NHS.
"When was the last time you saw a Greggs without a queue?". This was my entire investment case when I first bought in here as a novice investor at just over 500p. The only other share I've made good money on was ARM, which I bought in the early 2000s because these mobile phone things looked they were popular. Can't honestly say this approach is foolproof but it seems a decent strategy.
