SL historical P/E ratio is 28, but earnings are expected to double this year, so all things being equal forward P/E should be around 12. With a likely dividend of around 6%.
I am struggling to decide bet LG and LGEN - both return strong divs - though SL's PE ratio is at 24.5 whereas LGEN is sitting at just under13
No, it's not going well -- it's going disastrously ... and the reason is it says and asks the wrong things. It's dead in the water because it's misinformed and seriously flawed. If you research the subject fully you will see that it is the websites that apply the 'buy' and 'sell' indications -- it has nothing to do with the market makers and is certainly not the result of market manipulation. Typical small print on sites says "Trade definitions are based on the mid-price and are indicative only". For delayed trades the sites frequently get them wrong because the trade can no longer be interpreted within the now changed bid/offer spread. This is the second time this petition has been put forward. It failed the first time, and it's failing this time. For goodness sake revise it and make it say the right thing before you try to get seasoned investors to sign it. I WON'T be sigining this and I won't be encouraging anyone else to either. Put simply it's a job for the web sites and not one for the FCA or parliament. Mike
Apologies for board hopping but- The petition is going quite well; ~5150 signatures so far. Although it really needs a turbo boost. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/112044/sponsors/frRbCOsOLO6QqIN82UOX This petition was stalled in parliament since 12th Aug 15; finally green lit on 12th feb 2016. The FCA don't even reply on the matter, now is your chance to have your say. If you hate seeing buys reported as sells etc!!!!!! Has already been sent to Martin Lewis, Daily Mail, Moneyweek & Watchdog. My local MP supported this petition by writing to the petitions committee to help un-stall it. There’s 650 MP’s in Westminster, So have you written to your MP? 649 to go! If this petition doesn’t reach 10,000; then imo we might as well have not bothered as it will almost certainly be filed B1N; @ 10,000 the government should respond. We are currently getting approx. 100 new signatures a week, but need 3x that amount to reach the target with only 15 weeks to go. So – If you haven’t yet signed or indeed have but haven’t passed it on to others, then now’s the time to do so. If each person who has signed can get just one other person to sign then we will double the total immediately. I have posted to all aim listed gas n oilies, currently doing the footsy 100. But I can only do so much to push this. Really need you guys & gals to help. Thanks to all who have signed so far.
it was meant for the TW board ...
Don''t think so!
his this the right board
...i was being dry!
It should be expected that the Directors would take some profit some time, after all they have built their stake (albeit mostly via LTIP and option grants). PR executed on an option LTIP (zero cost) and paid tax and NI, he ten sold ~ half his holding which were mainly option grants. Also, CGT is 20%, so optimal time, also these guys earn over £145K, so again with divi tax over 37.5%, then good time to take some reward. The market will be a little nervous, and drop the SP rapidly if any selling reaction to Director sales, however, i guess it will recover once the initial flurry has settled. Don't forget its at an all time high since the crash, there is bound to be profit taking, but the overall trend may continue upwards, assuming the overall market sentiment stays good for a while.
But of course! Isn't it obvious that the market makers know that many dividend re-investment programs will be buying shares today. It's a no brainer that they fill their books in the days leading up to the dividend being paid and then sell into the inevitable rise! Mike

Nearly a month late but not to worry. All looks good!!!
Todays Brexit polls show a strong lead for staying in, and I believe SL are one of those stocks which are held back by the uncertanty. All things being equal, if we vote to stay in I think that we should see a re rating for SL, perhaps towards £4 this autumn
anybody know why the big increase today
About time..........................

Don't worry about the short term price, sign up for the DRIP and build your holding. Add more at this price aswell if you are able.
