Just had an interesting phone call from a company trying to aquire Aviva ahares in an attempt to purchase the company. They already hold 41% but require another 10% to buy out the company. They are offering between £10-£20 for my shares.. Is this a scam or a genuine attempt to buy the company.
Well, that seemed quick!
Aviva today announces that, it has completed the acquisition of AIG Life Ltd from Corebridge Financial (a subsidiary of American International Group), for £453m.
The acquisition was cleared by the CMA on 28 March, just before Easter.
But then, it had been first announced on 25 September 2023 (6.5 months ago), whereas the intended acquisition of Friends Life was announced 21 Nov 2014 and completed 13 April 2015 (under 5 months).
Im holding big ex dividend thurs
and still good for 550 in short term
More info on the subject, scroll down to dividends

NO - It wasn't a split. Basically it was a forced sell of (from memory) 24% of your shares for £4.24. It had no bearing on the SP (in theory at least).
Soton, of course mate i agree, I bought these at a low price during Pandemic, and sold off at a good profit, later on i then bought back and currently back in profit again, if i sell any now i would like to buy back again at some point, but also roofer has a good point mng are dropping like a stone, will have to give it a bit more thought
Whatever you do/say Rob this as been good to me over the years...Only wish VOD would perform like this....As for strategy I'm taking the divi then if/when it goes above £5 will sell a lump....
Robleo, always a tricky dilemma , dividend pays 22.3p , will probably drop more than that , just look at mng other week, just depends on your strategy, at end of day we're all here for profits
The buyback program will bring it back to 500 mark in a few days after ex-divi IMO. DYOR
MNG dropped more than the %age divi. It dropped faster than a speeding bullet.. Low price right now but maybe not for long.
But what if it does go over, i would like to sell and take the profit, but on the other hand, if i lose out on dividends and it doesn't drop i would regret it, oh dear
Will it, wont it 😀👍👍🇬🇧⬆️⬆️
Roofer, that's a very good point i had forgotten all about that, still an excellent price though, let's hope it doesn't drop too much after xdiv
Don't forget factor in share split in May 2022
I’ve just looked at a more detailed chart and the highest price since 2009 is 539 in 2015
I’m not sure what charts you are looking at but the highest it has been is 533 in 2015
How many years? May 2018, 723. Between Dec. 2016 - Sept. 2018 it fluctuated in the c.585-c.720 range.
It was never near 5.90 a share a few years back
It's worth remembering that this share was up at 590 only two years ago.
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
