Nice looking share on FA once cash taken into account. Adding to the watch list for proper research to come
I'm a little late with this but it refers to the six months to the end of June. Gordon Marr, Group Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The fundamentals in our core markets are encouraging and this has translated into an increase in demand for our products. We have continued to grow regular premium new business in FY 2013 and achieved a record level of £136.1m PVNBP. This is testament to the success of our strategy of focusing on regular premium business in growth markets. We believe that Hansard's prospects remain strong and that our continuing investment in distribution infrastructure and Hansard OnLine will position us for future growth. We look forward to refreshing the Group's new business strategies with our new Chief Distribution Officer, Graham Morrall." I am gradually buying into Hansard who pay a very good dividend of about 7%.
The yield of 11% shown on this site was true for 2012 but not for 2013 or 2014. It is now just under 7%, still very good of course and the 11% was almost certainly unsustainable. I am gradually increasing my holding again.
After the hoped for rise at the end of May the share price has gradually dropped in June. I am hoping it is the general market weakness this month. I am gradually rebuilding my holding as opportunities arise.
I have held Hansard for three years but gave up on them as they never fulfilled the promises of the analysts. Although I made a heavy loss on the sale this was covered by the dividends I had banked. Re-invested again in early May on hearing of very good figures in their latest report. I am now in the black and still looking forward to receiving excellent dividends. Not a traders' share but a good one to tuck away for income. I wish I had bought more in May.
Talking to a friend of mine who works in the finance sector who said Hansard results are good, and looking at the buys to sells ratio I would think he's right! And the scrip div is due at the start of March. Check out Hansard plc website for stats etc... GL
Could you go into a bit more detail please. Considering a purchase.
Are out soon, 29th I think and I have heard they are excellent!!
No i just didnt know.. thanks for the info
Hello Stavs, This info came off the Hansard Plc website Date Event Add to Outlook 28.02.2013 Publication of half-yearly results 28.02.2013 Declaration of interim dividend 06.03.2013 Ex-dividend date for interim dividend Where did you see something else? regards,Larry
how do you know the ex-divi date is 6/3 Larryh, i have a few of these mate..
umm, why the sudden sp drop? ex div date = 06.03 2013 so sp should be going up.
I agree entirely and am holding the stock for at least the coming 12 months.
'Analysts at Panmure Gordon and Co restated the rating on stocks with a $2.54 price target'. Have just returned from grandchild duty in New Zealand and Australia to find a steady 3 month growth. $2.54 is about £1.60 so I hope Panmure & Co are right. At any rate all the news seems good, but I remain nearly 25% down. Again I can only find Buy recommendations for Hansard so cross your fingers... I do think they are a genuine buy at this price in spite of the increases since November. Do remember the excellent dividends.
Hansard Global's 'buy' rating was reiterated after the group revealed strong growth during the last half of 2012. Analysts at Panmure Gordon and Co restated the rating on stocks with a $2.54 price target. Shares were up 8.06% to 114.00p at 15:14 Tuesday as financial services business posted an increase in regular premium sales. Second quarter sales generated �44.3m on the basis of present value of new business premiums (PVNBP), 13.3% ahead of the first quarter. Hansard said an overall new business margin of 12.1% reflected an increase in volume and proportion of regular premium business, in line with the group's stated strategy. Regular premium new business in the first half was at �66.8m PVNBP, driven by growth in the markets of the Far East and Latin America. "We have recorded a strong new business performance in the second quarter of this financial year, showing positive momentum in the group," Gordon Marr, Group Chief Executive Officer, said. "The initiatives and investments we have made in distribution, infrastructure and new products continue to bear fruit. "We remain confident that the outlook for growth remains positive for the group."
The lows of a couple of months ago was just a blip! As courtier says still the beginnings of any real recovery but Hansard is heading back in the right direction...
Strange - several large sells on the buy-sell list above but sp is rising now. It would be nice to see the divi rising along with the sp.
Hello, has anyone any latest news on hsd? Why is sp drifting down? regards, Larryh
