With respect ,the new CEO has only been in the hot-seat for 5 minutes so I reckon we ought to give him a fair crack the whip. Now he's in a position to pull the necessary levers. His recent statements that hitherto Aviva has only been "scratching the surface",and the boardroom reshuffle was designed to promulgate "pace,energy and commercial thinking" suggest he means business.

This is a minor blip only,no worse than legal &general's blip today. The RNS is positive,pointing out the reshuffle is a first step designed to stimulate pace,energy and commercial thinking ( as stated by the ceo). No more just 'Scratching at the surface'. This CEO Means business and is already cutting out the Dead Wood imo.

One is an anti-semitic Marxist who could get in by default. LOL

Anyone buying in at these levels have already availed themselves of good luck imv. Many,I feel,will be kicking themselves in time when they realise the chance to acquire Aviva at such a ludicrously low price has passed them by. Wish I had the Dividend payed out today though,as without hesitation, it would be used to add to my current holding.

There are plenty of 'Boom and Bust' companies though that after huge rises in their SP's, based on speculative assumptions, slump just as rapidly, often collapsing into bankruptzy. That's fine if you get out at a good point but imo they are very risky.However, Aviva I agree is a solid and dependable company which is much undervalued currently. It also, as acknowledged by most commentators, has significant growth potential in many areas. As the new CEO has pointed out, they have only been 'scratching the surface' up to now. I'LL bide my time and reap the rewards in the medium term. The prospects here are very exciting imv with an £8-£10 sp target not unrealistic.

Am confident this will be £8 and some in 2 to 3 years time. Will take the secure divi's and bide my time. This will be very lucrative in due course imo and am not surprised that numerous Brokers are extremely positive on this company.

I would agree with that omerta. I believe the political situation in large part has shackled the recovery that would likely have occurred over the last couple of years though. I reckon the SP would have been at least knocking on for £6 by now. Still confident of a positive resolution though.

That was a sound 'investment' AllAtSea I believe. Far better than 'Blowing' it on something frivolous.you'LL be glad when, as goldenshares suggests, the SP is > £7 each and divi's around 40p. ATB

The fear of Brexit has been damaging to many shares imv Nuri (as well as the wider economy).I'm confident we'LL eventually remain though and get back to business as usual. The new CEO recently put out some positive noises regarding Growth for Aviva. Investors Chronicle are also very positive this week too giving a Buy rating. I agree this is greatly undervalued at the moment but I'm in this long-term anyway so will enjoy the handsome dividens, which will accumulate to at least £1.50 over the next five years. By that time, the SP ought to be approx £8 if Maurice Tulloch delivers on his goals.

This is looking nicely poised for an imminent surge to 500p or so. Possibly by next weekend if results are decent and divi increased in line with expectations.

Omerta, AV. it could be argued has underperformed depending on your entry point . Then again it was 163p in Mar '09, though hit 570p by Mar '15. Add in the dividends during that period of approx 150p and that would equate to c350% increase in value. Of course it's unlikely many investors would have achieved such timing but it does illustrate that it can be quite lucrative. There has been a prolonged period of historically low Interest rates, banking crises and Brexit fiasco affecting performance. The company has exposure now it's suggested to many financial growth areas and most brokers are very Bullish on Aviva. The SP has been almost £13 in the past so given the prospects, I am cautiously optimistic of the SP reaching £8 in 4/5 years time ( not including dividends likely exceeding £1.50 in total during that time).

BillTucker89-"looking for a decent entry point now to double up". Have you considered a visit to the casino? I reckon your chances would be more favourable there. LOL!

6 of 8 Brokers with strong Buy recommendations (other 2 neutral) on Hargreaves Lansdown site. 50% upside IMV just to get close to fair value, with further medium/long-term growth from there. Good dividends and rising along the way. I'm hugely excited about Aviva to be honest!

Couldn't agree more Warthog4 in hoping a new CEO (regardless of gender),can turn things around favourably. Even if that person is a fan of Ping-Pong I wouldn't get my knickers in a twist (if i'm allowed to say that)! LOL! GLA Holders!

That should rule her out! If it's a female ceo appointed, let's have a proper feminine one . And how many more millions of company funds will be squandered sponsoring an unsophisticated 'sport' like rugby. Seriously though, Aviva as a global company, need to get the branding up to a much more expansive level and drop rugby sponsorship. How many global nations care one jot about that rubbish? Let's get down to proper advertising and branding and advance the company forward to where it ought to be!

I have every intention of enjoying the ride mickmgc. There'LL be no 'No Deal' on Brexit. Better still if new referendum and likely Remain result ,this and many other financial stocks will soar IMV.New CEO to be announced will restore stability . Stock is way oversold on negative sentiment, and so offer excellent (and growing) Earnings/Dividends. It's no wonder so many Brokers are very bullish on Aviva. In fact this offers a chance to double up in a few years if dividends are re-invested IMHO.

I think there would be a fast rise to the other side of 600p if we were to remain as members of the EU.

Agree it's mainly a sector thing. Bought in approx. a month ago at 419p for long -term investment so not getting my knickers in a twist over current SP. When EU issues resolved things will return to normal and good well covered and rising dividends to enjoy along the way. The company itself was more than happy to pay above £5 per share for cancelling out. That suggests to me there is very good upside.

Would not be at all surprised if an opportunistic bid was put in for around 550p or so.That would of course be rejected as 'significantly undervaluing the company'. On fundamentals alone Aviva is worth £7 at least imv excluding the Growth potential even. They, along with there peers are all suffering at the moment. When normality returns (Remaining in EU after a new referendum), there will be a splendid opportunity for an advance in SP to £8-£10 in a couple of years time!

Their will not be a Brexit deal or a no deal. Their will be a new referendum and the result will be to remain as a member of the EU. I feel sure of that and that financial stocks will advance significantly ( including Aviva).
