On the quality of builds. I do believe Mctaggart & Mickel are one of the best. Think a US company acquired them?

I do live in a Victorian Red sand stone build from 1912. Would’ve nice to bring these back rather than the paper thin new builds

The concensus by Nasdaq and marketscreener is that DLG will be paying dividend payout this year.

The concensus has been updated twice this yr from 7p to 13p; 2021 they paid out 22.7p.

Sell signal is strengthening. It’s now sitting at 30…

Also it does not automatically rise after ex-dividend either.

There are many factors, and still the RSI is showing weakness, so this downtrend will continue for now.

Ex-dividend literally means you’re exempt to the dividend payout, thus that amount paid out is roughly 4% which occurred on 7/3.

I have noticed in last few weeks the dividend expectation has been revised upwards for DLG from 7.6p to now 13.3p for 2024

This is still not a Buy, sits at 53 on RSI.

HSBC as we all is one of most indebted companies in world.

This is one reason this stock is stagnated at this level and is just a cash cow paying about high yield to retires.

In 20yrs it’s actually -1.2% down on SP. Compare thst to Royal Bank Canada +84% plus 4% dividend

Compare against MS +163%

Compare against SOCIET Generale +73%

HSBC needs to rethink paying this silly high dividend and look at sorting debt levels and future growth.

It’s SOLD its Canadian business, that’s a plus, but that’s not going to fix this

C were right along about this being a Sell.

But what would be good, is to see 300p again! Drop the dividend to 6% to help reduce debt and aid growth

In essence this is a badly managed outfit, to have a dividend sitting precariously at 7.7%_8%.

Cuts loom…

Evergreen just went bankrupt and you say China is ok now. That has to be the most naive thing I have read on this board tin awhile.

China is stagnate, China has failed to convince EU and rest of world that it can grow without stimulus.

It will take a lot of convincing that you’re right.

We have China writing on the wall the year they will invade Taiwan too. Are you new to this world or what?

China thrives on secrecy which everyone knows!

Beijing’s approach to governance, which relies on surveillance and control rather than openness requires secrecy. Look at Covid, that’s all forgotten about lol

And to sustain it, the Chinese government suppresses independent journalism, and closely guards the kind of information that democracies freely disclose.

Just saying…

I do hold 2500 here, but am more heavyweight GS and RY.TO,

You can’t anything like as it was a VERY risky plan. who’s to say DLG may not be paying a dividend at all.. nothing is guaranteed

But look at IMB & VODA ..there value traps too

But AGEAS dividend yield i see if it were to offer do a share offer carries 8.8%

This year it actually raised its dividend

So, I’m looking to move my funds from GILD here. But am struggling to understand why the dividend details have not been noted yet on neither PSN site nor dividendmax.

Have they suspended it?

I thought as of 28th Feb it should’ve been announced…?

No, cause that’s the price is closed at 16:30

Profit taking thats what

Dividends 70c and possibly 70c later this yr makes a 8.8% dividend yield.

Management should have addressed this in results.

This is going the way DLG, IMB & VODA.

Am I wrong to think this? Or is it just because I have learnt my lesson on high dividend investments

WDS need to slice the dividend in half. This is what is holding back growth.

They need to follow market leaders XOM, CVX, SHEL

This going to come under pressure with uk budget looming soon.

Think sentiment in UK stocks is going to persist versus for a longtime.

I’m 70% in US / S.American & Swiss combo stocks 30% UK.

Hope things pick up with the cost of living crisis being main cause for decline in sales. Saw this coming 3yrs ago with life and inflationary costs making people flock to LIDLS or store brands for 50% cheaper versions
