RE: Dividend 'cut'12 Jan 2021 11:35
Indeed, Its actually a big dividend hike! The press have made this mistake about the dividend before as it rises so fast, they keep comparing it to a half yearly dividend instead of quarterly, we may get a correction to the articles that may help us bounce, although the most of the damage has been done with the early misinformation. I think this false reporting in conjunction with their cautious statement on trading conditions has been conflated in to trouble by many, but the dividend has actually had a big rise and of course there are issues until Covid restrictions are over, which seems to be on the horizon. GAW have form in being conservative and under promising but over delivering, so I'm not particularly worried to hold a large position here, the only thing holding them back from even more impressive growth appears to be the virus. Can't see this dip lasting too long, but the share price did need to take a breather after its recent runs.
It's only a weak buy IMO because it already has a premium growth value baked in, but if you're looking to take your first position this pullback seems like a good opportunity.
