What is the final dividend likely to be here? Around 11p?

I’m a time piece enthusiast and have seen that all luxury watch brands have gone off the boil , including Rolex.

During the pandemic and up to inflation sky rocketing , there was a community that built up , with spare cash to spend on premium goods, food and drink. People with time to research, experiment and no where to go.

So if you look across drinks, clothing brands, luxury items etc. the prices rocketed , even certain Nike trainers a premium aftershaves . There was demand and hype.

All of that went off the boil last year as things got back to normal and holidays and leisure became the priority

And since then these luxury items have lost their allure and are seen as over priced in a cost of living crisis .

No one in the watch community thinks the hype will ever return and I’m guessing for companies like Diageo the demand will return but not like before and not to the same levels. People are choosing cheaper alternatives for the foreseeable

The share price reflects the new reality and so is fairly priced at best, no a bargain to be compared to previous highs in a different market environment. If I buy in here it will have to be at a lower share price than this.

I have £4000 in barc at avg 150p and divis reinvested on top

Was never gonna buy NWG but stuck £1250 in at 175p due to farage. Had the divi too.

Wish I’d bought more then

People are calling basher Mandy david Phillips out for being more than one moniker.

It should be a permanent banning offence.

Mandy constantly makes propagandist posts and using multiple monikers will lull unknowing investors into thinking that there is a consensus of thought in his direction. That can cause people to make ill advised financial decisions.

Further more Mandy is intelligent enough to know this is wrong , as well as the constant insults . See his last post, calling someone an idiot.

Whilst he is intelligent, he is unscrupulous , malicious and definitely short of a marble or two. Or three.

He shouldn’t be allowed to flood the board with his false narratives and circular logic unchecked.

If you are going to criticise us, do the same with him.

David Philipps why are you talking to yourself on your other account basher? Have you lost your marbles ?

Or are you trying to convince everyone you’re not both accounts

Parcels will grow not diminish

Gls will continue to grow

No strikes

Brightening economy

Lower interest rates / inflation

Reduced capex with tech

We were making a loss. That will flip .

DK sees the same or why opportune under cutting bid?

The RNS this morning is just the start.

I’m holding , doesn’t matter to me which way the buy out goes. If they buy, I can’t do anything about it. If it fails I will continue to hold as we will hit 600p again one day.

Bought £300 at £12.50 a share thinking I was being smart.

Wondering whether to buy another £300 and double down on my stupid

Fully agree Phatz.

David Phillips neither of you are smart. That you have in common.

David Phillips I really mean this when I say it.. you are rod, Mandy, basher.

You type the same way, repeat yourself , praise him

And post straight after him every post you do.

Don’t listen to basher , filter him like I have. All he does is talk about a bid on this forum all his life!

The only exception to this rule is when he’s at the shop buying more bells whiskey, or when he’s hung over!

SAY NO TO ANY BID OR BID TALK!

REINVEST THE DIVIDEND!

Also if a bid comes in we would not receive 275p from todays 140p .. that’s fantasty. We would be sold out lower than that on the cheap like has happened to Royal Mail

Larry , Bt being sold at 275p is stealing our opportunity have a good dividend income stream. The dividend will progress up to 15p again over the next few years. Which means those who bought at 100-120 are getting 12-15% on their investment every year, plus any compound if they had reinvested. If the share price goes up or the business is sold, we will be locked out from that opportunity. I bought at those low prices so I want to keep my future progressive stream in tact, not receive a historically mediocre buy out price

old basher is a disgrace ganging up on my

good friend phatz with his alter ego

phatz i’m afraid you will be very disappointed thinking he will go easy on the bells , the bottle already empty and he’s already stumbling to the off licence for another bottle of fire water and a pack of golden virgina to maintain the stench in his shyt hole and the **** coloured walls

David Philips you’re like the sewage pipe at the end of my road this week. Bunged up Full of shyte , over worked over used, and obsolete due to age and unable to cope with modern day capacity requirements. And all you both have to show for it is a worn out stinking structure waiting for the scrap heap.

Redceo there are multiple ways of acting , but all of them would be guess work.

I try to hold my positions when uncertain

If the bid falls through it will drop but it will also recover and return to dividends. However if I’m bought out at 370p I will not mind and invest elsewhere.

If I was an employee I would want the bid to fail because despite assurances this company will end up a mess like Thames water in private hands.

The government are struggling to fill job vacancies nationwide with 1m jobs unfilled

I doubt they would mind Royal Mail workers filling other vacancies and wash their hands of any support to keep the business as it is and on the ftse
