RE: Drop in SP4 Oct 2025 09:02
I think the mistake people are making here is obsessing about the SP in a business that is already mature and now largely a cash cow. SP's primary purpose here is to determine the dividend yield and, put very simply, if the yield is high you buy, if the yield is low you sell. You come here for the dividends and if you are looking for capital gains you've taken a wrong turn and should retrace your steps.
The benchmarks you want to be comparing this with are medium-term gilts, cash deposits, annuity rates and other life insurers and if you are thinking this way, you can see that LGEN occupies a different part of your portfolio to your average equity investment.
