Jackson Financl Share Price (0JKF)

$50 in December, $60 in March, $70 in April, $80 in May. Can't go on. Or can it? Well, I'm holding, and will reinvest June's divi. The divi won't go up (or down) until next March, but then it's possible it might be up to 90c or even $1 per quarter. $78 at the moment (late afternoon), on reasonably high volume. Morgan Stanley again tardy in raising target to $76.

$100 this year seems really quite possible. Happy days.

Looking at Yahoo it is showing $80 aftermarket, we will see once there is some liquidity at market open tomorrow. Dividend held at $0.70. Looking very positive.

After market reaction to results is extremely positive….it may not hold in the market tomorrow, but $80 has been achieved….as the number of shares continues to shrink the /share profits look larger….will this go to $100 in the next year?

Q1 results were up 30% (adjusted operating profit).

Statutory earnings of nearly $10/share…..shares rose in the after market to $75.

Strong capital position and delivery of $172m to shareholders (1/3 divi, ⅔ BB) sounds well on course to meet their 2024 returns target.

With Morgan Stanley waking up and adjusting their target to $70 from $52. (And Evercore still asleep and raising the target to $62, maintaining their "in line" rating).
