Trent700 totally agree with you, I also have itv.
I rather have my money in pfd, to attract the income seeking funds and boost SP BOD need to have the dividend yield above 3%. With no more added pension contribution we certainly afford to pay 4p in dividends. I've been here since 2010 don't want to see big buys, small bolt on if it makes sense fine!
Been waiting 18 months for the pension upgrade; 33m year straight to the bottom line
expect EBITDA new forecast north of 200m
Expect finally to break £2 been saying this for two years :) finally coming true
Expect a final dividend of 2p and indication of resuming interim dividend of 0.6p
this will encourage for funds to invest for steady income; my sell price is 230p
Pernix could not agree more
I was expecting interim dividend or some sort of special div!
food companies are like utility need to pay decent dividend at the very least info on when they will start interim payments!
need the yield to be around 3 - 4 %; 1% won't do....
Likewise agree with P & D
I also think we are in the area of not hot or cold but the right quality food bracket
I also see nowadays, we do less of gimmicky promotional offers which only mean we selling what the public wants!
I think we will be putting out a very firm positive results with ever increasing FCF and debt reduction.
I would like to see interim (special) dividends re-instated, this only make SP go up as more funds will come onboard.
Only reason we don't have a bid premium is due the large holding of Nissin otherwise likes of ABF/ Unilever or any large European or US company would love to have our portfolio of quality food

It comes despite separate research from consumer group Which? that found the price of some branded goods on supermarket shelves has more than doubled in the last 12 months.
The consumer champion, which tracked almost 26,000 food products at eight major supermarkets, found:
a six-pack of Mr Kipling chocolate slices at Tesco was the branded product that rose the most in price, going from £1.16 on average in 2022 to £2.66 in July 2023
1kg of Lancashire Farm natural yoghurt at Asda increased from £1 to £1.80 - up 80%
180g of Pilgrims Choice extra mature grated cheddar at Morrisons went from £1.20 to £2.11 - a rise of 76%.
The BBC has contacted the supermarkets for comment.
I'm expecting exceedingly good half year results.......
I think results will be good from the data news that i have gathering.
my hunch is we will get a final div of 1.6p or
1.4p to 1.6p final div with the possibility of interim div re-instated at next half year results!
With ever increasing interest rate, Pension liability will be reducing and possibly in surplus in all schemes.
This can only mean no need for further supplement to repair pension schemes! and the possibility of unloading the pension scheme to a pension management company.
On the last years earning we have dividend cover of 10, debt is now manageable so we can easily pay up to 3p in dividend. On this basis SP will head north of 150p
Hi dogger, as a PFD pensioner I totally understand your concerns.
The pension rules are much tighter now and for the better.
From May results
? Resultant reduction in contribution schedule in outer years drives c.£60m improvement in NPV of pension contributions
? Next Triennial actuarial valuation as at 31 March 2022 will be completed in coming months and covers both RHM and PF schemes
I expect pension review announcement soon
Hopefully deficit reduced to zero and no more deficit payment!
Can anyone confirm that the two pension scheme has been merged one and what is the current deficit.
The current plan for the extra payments to close the gap?
Also a speculative question
What is the likelihood the pension liability being off loaded to a specialist pension manager!
I agree dogger; I can't see Nissin making a bid.
What I think is Nissin is very happy with their investment and the fact they get to distribute their products via PFD.
Also the possibility of making their products via PFD manufacturing sites!
I can only see steady growth for PFD with austerity only makes PFD portfolio look even more appealing.
I still believe we will get to £2++ in the next 3-5 years.
With the progressive dividend growth I'm willing to wait.
Takeover target - Very Unlikely with:
Nissin Foods Holdings Co.,Ltd. 198,036,846 22.9%
Don't know how many other friendly shareholders aligned with Nissin.
What we also don't know is how much of debt is in the form of loan notes aligned with Nissin and friendly shareholders!!
Premier Foods wins ratings upgrade from Moody's
7th June 2022 21:48
Premier Foods PLC - St Albans, England-based food manufacturer and owner of grands such as Bisto, Sharwood's and Mr Kipling - Wins a corporate family rating upgrade from Moody's. The New York-based financial services company upgrades its rating to Ba3 from B1 and its probability of default rating to Ba3-PD from B1-PD. Also changes its outlook to stable from positive.
Moody's says the upgrade reflects the company's "resilient performance" in the year ending March 31 in the context of rising input costs and supply chain frictions.
I agree with T2R
forget M&A which is cause of all the problem for the past 15 years....
What's needed good old boring divi growth ( paying 4 - 5%); this will encourage more divi inclined fund managers to invest in us.
Also encourage one of the big player to take us over :)
