Now I am at my computer, let me express myself a bit better. Remember I was actually agreeing with you in my comment.
I first invested in PCA on 29th. November 2018 when I was building a portfolio of quarterly dividend paying companies. The price was 297p, and you were ramping the company as a great prospect and a takeover target, which you are still doing. This is what you said just before I invested. - QUOTE - I suspect a big boy has spotted the game-changing quality of the York town centre site and might be trying to build a position here. Tightly held so might go back nearer the £3.50. Or higher if they poke in a bid. If not, post York, in 2020, I can see £5 here depending on market at that time. Either way, I shall stick around and take the fat divi. UNQUOTE
I continued to build my position at 311p and 330p, The quarterly dividends were 4.75p which gave me a quarterly yield of 1.6%, dropping slightly to 1.58% as I added, which I was very happy with. Then Covid happened of course. Probably not your fault unless you holidayed in China at the time.
We missed one dividend totally, and then the dividend was cut to 2.5p, which gave me a quarterly yield of 0.86%. I added twice but still only achieved 0.92% quarterly yield.
So I believe it is time they upped the dividend. If a company like RE Investors can pay a massive final dividend recently, I am sure PCA could.
Another concern is that I recall a report saying that they were not including sales at Hudson Quarter in their results ? I found that worrying. What is the reason for this ? I haven't got time to delve into the accounts at the moment.
So, two and a half years on you are still quoting the company as a take over target, presumably to lure investors in and feed your investment. What proof have you got ? Any reason at all ? I ask because I am not as sophisticated investor as yourself, and personally would hate to mislead anyone.
