Aviva Share Price (AV.)

Hello johnny
Many stocks in different sectors are trading at a discount because of coranavirus if you take a long term view of between 1 and 3 years you will get a great return on your money although there will be some volatility on the way
My pick also would be barclays and legal and general in the financial sector also itv and wpp in the media sector diageo as a defensive stock while the yield is low it has performed exceptionally over 5 years compared to aviva which is down over 50%over 5 years

Yes, I definitely will. I was just looking for a few pointers in the rift direction. Would never invest money into share that I am not confident in, and not doing research is inherently linked to not being confident. Thanks for the info though, will be doing further research tomorrow ready for the open on Monday????.

Johnny1234, good evening,
This month I have added to my portfolio the following ,
Aviva, Barclays, L&G, Lloyds and M&S. All of them have
A low sp now and I am sure their divi will be reinstated in Q4
2020 or early next year (L&G are paying the dividend now)..
In 2008-2009, I did more less the same, 1-5 years laier got
the reward which Was 100-400% gains (plus the divi).
All IMHO...DYOR

I can definitely see both sides. On the one hand, AV can be seen as using the COVID crisis as an excuse to increase salaries at the expense of shareholders. Alternatively it may prove to be a prudent business decision which maintains a stable balance sheet. Regardless 246 appears a good price.

DividendChaser (since your name precedes you), do you have any thoughts on the more better paying/secure dividend shares. Aside from the more obvious BAT/IMB, some of the other companies haven’t really taken my fancy.

Thanks.

I agree allatsea mng legal and general standard life phoenix have all kept there dividend it just seems the management just care about their staff their customers making contributions to charities and picking up there fat salaries they have little concern for their shareholders the gamble with aviva is if they will pay a dividend in q4 and what level they will start paying at in 2021 i suspect most people buying into aviva now are not waiting for the dividend and will sell on a decent rise
