Why do we have dividend pay out?

The bid price will have to be around£ 2.90 to 3 for any chance to be successful.

It needs to go back to Standard Life as a name as ABDN without vowels is a bit like skeleton without meat. Very weird name indeed which brought only downward share price with funds outflow.

This is probably not right assessment, considering the previous bid @240 was rejected. The recent bidder is a bit cheeky, there is no way the company will accept such low bid as it will cause an uproar. 3% increase is a bit of insult to intelligence, 30% or more may be more like it.

The market has been very volatile, which is supposed to be good for the company trading, yet the share is languishing at the bottom range. I guess we will see the numbers in the next update.

Camelot has built up nearly 20% stake here. I wonder what are they going to do with such a large stake. It seems they have boxed in themselves like many investors. When is the way out ?

Doesn't USA intend to build back better for their cracking infrastructure? This is supposed to demand a lot of iron/steel. Americans are just talking about it and never get anything done.

That is a real insightful analysis from someone who clearly knows what he is talking about. I can see his reasoning well.

No point to pick an quarrel. Do not understand why should you spend time here if no interest in investing. Perhaps, social media might be a good place to make your point on Ukraine.

No personal insults here please. Look like you are looking for a good price to get in , therefore the motives of your posts are explained. Somehow this has been very clear for a while. I think you should get in now rather left it too late. Biden has put the wind out for sending the troops, so absolutely zero chance for a Russian invasion. Better leave the emotion out when judging the situation for investing unless you are ramping or de-ramping which is futile.

There is no chance Russia will invade UKraine after Nato and USA have promised to deploy troops. The whole thing will be settled by negotiations in the coming weeks. Otherwise we will see world war 3 and nuclear war.

When all the possibilities have been put into the open, that is a deterrence. This is clearly a tactic by the West to prevent Russia to step over the border which I did not believe they will do. What is the fundamental cause of this ? NATO expansion to the East which is a red line for the Russians. There is no chance for Ukraine to join NATO and it is not in the interest of the West to allow it to happen. You can bet Russia will invade Ukraine or beyond if Ukraine is joining Nato.

Lavrov has just said in his press conference after meeting Blinkin, Russia never intend to invade or harm Ukraine . It is all fault of USA in expanding Nato leading to Russian troop build up .USA is intentional to stir up the trouble with Russia to prevent Europe to buy energy from Russia.

Europe has been played by USA in direct conflict with Russia as it wishes to control the vast European energy market as NORD-Stream 2 pipeline is nearly complete. With Russians feeling it is going to lost the buffer zone as in Ukraine, its security threat on its door step. European countries should really think about its own interest by not antagonizing the Russians but to use their cheap energy . Now the new German foreign minister is pro-USA and ideologically driven , she will not anything good. What a waste of investment in building the pipeline by sudden American interference .

This has fallen quite a lot within a couple of days due to uncertainty, even though the company is sound and generating a lot cash. Whatever may or may not happen, the company will be there making profits. Just a matter of judging the bottom to get in more. Very unlikely Russia would wish to break the current status quo unless some stupid western politicians make the wrong move which will only affect Europe not USA as battle ground. It is in everyone's interest to keep peace.

Here is an article which indicates no intention of invasion but defensive posture by the Russians. The West should keep its promise not to expand NATO eastward to provoke Russians, which will only bring war and conflict closer to Russia. To live and let live should be European aims.

This is blatant attempt to de-ramp the share. What energy control has got do with iron ? It turns out Belarus is responsible for the hacking not Russia. The price drop due to the hacking is bit overdone.

cyber attacks were on government agencies not companies. This impact will die away in no time if the price movement is due to that.

Pretty useless comments on reducing and increasing when share is up and down! With more than 10% increase , I guess algorithm based may force shorters to close the shorts, so expect the share will be up in the short medium term

That is really a good piece of information. 600 have been employed there with 200 more to come. I would say that is a very good sign the business will be doing rather well. WG. is doing infrastructure projects in South America like metro /transport etc, That is also good diversification adding more to traditional oil business. It will take courage or stupidity to short the share.
