A mixed bag, seem OK. Dividend up slightly.

Another good day, so far. €5.875 just now, was slightly higher. Will we see €6 by Friday?

Nice to see a director spending a few €. That makes 3 board members now invested, considering the fees they are being paid the holdings are all quite modest.

I was there from 5 till 7. (I know when it's time to leave) I used to work nearby till 15 months ago, I was meeting up with a pal who is getting close to the exit door.

I was there last evening, 1st time in 30 years, it was doing a roaring trade! I felt the need to celebrate our results.

Close in Dublin 5.715 on T/O of 3,881,185 shares (not double counted)

Tomorrow is another day!

Now if we could just get to the magic €6.66 I might just decide to exit. The issue would be what would I buy instead. I would prefer to stick around for +€8. Might have to wait a while before I see that price again.

Another good rise this morning, €5.57. How long before the usual sell-off?

It's official, 7th March!

I hope we don't see €4.80 again any time soon.

Very nice recovery this afternoon, €5.435 as I type. Onward & upward I hope

In 2018 results were issued on the 1st March, the RNS confirming the date was issued on the 20th Feb, nothing so far this year. Hopefully we will hear by Friday.

Less than 3 weeks to wait. The market needs to hear a lot of very good news.

Franklin Templeton still buying! Results on the way to be followed by Dole's figures a couple of weeks later.

We should have them in 4 weeks, I hope that we are not disappointed. The share price had started to recover until the slight hiccup this week. Remember people have to eat which is good news for us!

Monthly update: the price you pay

The wider move in bank credit spreads in recent months prompts us to revise our issuance assumptions, with c.2% downgrades to forecast profits. Solid progress in 2018 towards end-2020 targets by AIB (40% complete) and BOI (25/30%) limits the impact of market-wide repricing. We modestly lower our price targets: BOI 890c; AIB 500c; and PTSB 235c, but move our recommendation for AIB to ‘Outperform’. Irish banks have started 2019 in positive territory, outperforming the wider sector as hard-Brexit risks recede.

The main listing is in Dublin. 1.425M shares traded as of 14:46
