The question I want an answer to quick is will it go through and when will we know? Hopefully before september. If the bid fails the share price will fall back hard and any future share price recovery looks unlikley right now, so I'd like to take the full £2.80 a share asap to invest eleswhere.

The endless legal disputes against Hansard Europe must be costing the company serious money, they just keep coming. The newest in Italy of over £5 million. Good that the comapny won a £6 million case in Belgium but the case is likely to be appealed. With slow growth in revenue the company needs to get these cases out of the way for share price recovery.

A drop of 10p in one week with the new floor at 66p, what went wrong here and what is the lowest it will go?

Many brokers have said that ESUR is a stock that does not have much growth potential, not that it is going to decline, just that there is not much room for improvement in the insurance sector as competition is so fierce, also the dividend is liable to change depending on profit each year. It's a boring stock that pays a good dividend.

Update shows not much of change here, its waiting game to see if Hansard's new products deliver more money over the long term, I don't expect any short term change in the share price. Dividend worth 5% at �0.8 a share though. Holding for the next decade.

Good results expected in 2 weeks time, larger profit than forecast, market expects an increased dividend yayyyy

I'm now in a paper loss due to the recent fall in share price, hopefully a good dividend this year will send us on the up once again. If the founder peter wood has his way he will sell the business later this year, hopefully at a much higher price.

Share price starting to recover now, good vote of confidence by the Wellcome Trust today.

*without loosing any more than you already have*

I followed this company since Bob Foster came to my university back in 2012 and told us all about his exploration projects. It was interesting and since then I followed the company, buying shares in 2013. After watching the share price decrease year after year and the stupidity of selling their share of the mine in Turkey I sold out over a year ago and lost a few hundred pounds. I am amazed that some people are still in here after all these years and how the company just seems to do nothing productive. I hope the price increases so that you can all get out without any more than you have.

the results are ok, share price likley to stay where it is until it goes ex dividend in october, we will know then where the share price will stay at until the company raises its dividend again ( I hope it does) assuming an increase in profit.

the main shareholder Peter Wood wants to sell his stake which is 30% of the compnay, this would trigger a take over bid. see the link here http://www.fool.co.uk/investing/2017/09/18/2-dividend-growth-stocks-with-takeover-potential/

I've been reading up on things, the drop in share price has been due to the reversal of the ogden rate discount that would have given ESUR an advantage over its rivals. Anyway what do we think of the take over talk? what price do you think the shares will go up to in the bidding war? Our shares may be bought by another company, I'd like to bank in some profits so looking forward to it!

unlikely to rise back to 100 for some time, everything depends on the results issued in the next few weeks, they will be ok at best, but nothing good. After this last dividend is payed it will be cut from then on by 50%. Everything hinges on a recovery with their new business model, I am holding for the long term so will see what happens, the company won't go broke so the share price stays where it is or recovers slowly over the next few years

Why the large drop on such good results, not good enough for the market or just negative brokers?

What are peoples thoughts on the companies future? The problems with brokers loosing money and the legal issues in europe are causing uncertainty and thats got to be why the share price is still going down slowly. I'm holding these for the long term even though the dividend is being cut by 50% next year, hope the new business plan works out in the long run......
