Name you one share which has cut its dividend and recovered its pre cut share price?? How about next to start off with. I will let you think of a reason why that recovered before I name some others ...
Even gucci can be replicated by the chinese with the cheap knock offs so i stand by my statement from before
Fahad seems to be missing the point here. Whilst the growth story for next might be over it is still generating a ton of cash with a yield well in year of 7% which is underpinning the sp at the moment. You say Next is nothing special and its business and clothes can be easily replicated. As for that statement it can apply to any clothes retailer. However i feel next does have an ace up its sleeve and will be able to adapt pretty easily if the need be it. Majority (if not all) of the premises next operates from are on a lease it would not take alot of effort for next to shift from the high street to a internet only retailer by not renewing the leases. The next directory seems to be growing and if next was to shift in that direction i can see next commanding the same lofty valuations like asos, boohoo etc. As always dyor
High street fashion chain Next has become the latest retailer to join forces with Tesco to sell clothing in its supermarkets. It comes a year after Britain's biggest food chain introduced a string of Arcadia concessions into its stores - the firm behind Dorothy Perkins, Topshop and Burton, and owned by Sir Philip Green. Earlier this week Next opened a 4300sq ft concession inside Tesco Extra in Surrey Quays, stocking a range of both menswear and womenswear, in a trial move. A spokeswoman said: “We want to offer our customers the best possible choice and convenience when they shop with us. “We have a number of partnerships in stores across the UK, complementing our existing Tesco products and services. “We’re pleased to be partnering with Next in our Surrey Quays store and look forward to seeing how customers respond." Next joins a list of retailers that now have partnerships with Tesco - which currently includes Dixons Carphone, Arcadia Group and Holland & Barrett. But it's not the only 'big four' supermarket to trial in-store concessions either. In 2016, Sainsbury‘s, took its first leap into department store territory after acquiring Home Retail Group - which owns Argos and Habitat for £1.4billion. Shortly after, the food giant started a mammoth project that will see all three stores amalgamated into one.
A massive draw down of over 10m barrels being reported for us inventories. Must be why the price has continued to rise.
Dividend already in account even though payment date is not til the 26th....nicee
As predicted second 45p special dividend announced. Means a dividend of 150p to be paid including the 105p full year dividend.
On thursday 4th May. Might be a further 45p special dividend announcement if all is well
Still no £29 tawse boy.....
You got more chance of Teresa May coming out and announcing shes a transvestite than shell cutting the long standing dividend. Fill yer boots!!!
Yawnnnnn......keep buying on dips this is consolidating i can see £25 plus by end of year. Unlike bp even at $50 a barrel shell is making profit. My buys in the £14 region from last year looking very solid with a massive yield!!!
Thats really poor service if they taking that long. My divi was in my account by lunchtime on the 31st.
Shell (LSE: RDSB) has enjoyed a relatively prosperous recent period. Since the start of 2016, its shares have risen in price by around 42% as the outlook for the Oil & Gas industry has improved. However, there could be a long way to go until the company appears to be fully valued. In fact, a share price of £40 would not be excessive. This means there could be the potential for an almost 100% capital gain over the medium term. Dividend strength At the present time, Shell is one of the highest-yielding shares in the FTSE 100. While the wider index currently yields around 3.7%, it has a dividend yield of around 6.5%. Part of the reason for it having such a high yield compared to its index peers is the fact that it decided to maintain a relatively high dividend even during a challenging period for the wider sector. While many of its industry peers cut dividends significantly in order to maintain their financial strength, Shell’s improving cash flow and modestly leveraged balance sheet meant it could afford to continue to pay a high proportion of earnings to shareholders in the form of a dividend without risking its financial future. Although this meant nearly all of its profit was paid out as a dividend, the company’s income appeal remained high. Capital gain prospects While the price of oil could move either way later this year, Shell’s dividend appears to be well-protected by its rising profitability. The company’s strategy to reduce costs and cut capital expenditure could mean its earnings improve in the coming years, which may allow it to afford an even higher dividend. Given the prospects for rising inflation in the UK thanks to Brexit, and across the world as a result of Donald Trump’s spending plans, higher yields could become more in-demand among investors. In fact, if Shell traded on the same yield as the FTSE 100 of 3.7%, its shares would be trading above £40 at the present time. Given its upbeat outlook regarding profitability, dividend growth could be significantly higher than that of the wider index. As such, an even higher share price could be warranted over the medium term, meaning exceptionally high capital gains are on the cards. Valuation As well as its income appeal, Shell is also forecast to deliver high profit growth over the next two years. It is expected to record a rise in earnings of 27% next year, which puts its shares on a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 12.2. Alongside its future earnings growth potential, this valuation indicates that a doubling of its share price could take place, which would push it to beyond £40. Certainly, Shell is not without risk. The oil price could easily fall in the near term. However, with a low valuation, high growth prospects and a dividend yield which few companies can match, a share price in excess of £40 appears to be easy to justify over the medium term.
Is in addition to the normal divi. First of these is to be paid on 2nd may followed by the full year divi of 105p on 1st August. Going by past announcements the second special dividend will probably be announced with the 1st or 2nd quarter trading updates.
The first of the shares of which he has been buying more despite market negativity is clothing retailer Next. Read more: Top investor buys Next shares despite the shares tumbling Shares in the high-street company have dropped 44 per cent in a year as initial worries about the EU referendum result’s impact on the UK economy gave way to profit warnings from the company Woodford has long been a shareholder, and confirmed that he has been buying more. He said, ‘We have been anticipating a tough trading environment for the company and indeed for all UK retailers, with cost inflation (partly because of sterling’s recent devaluation) and the growing threat from online rivals clearly having an impact. These challenges have been causing more of a problem for Next than we had expected, however, but it is important to remember why we own the shares in the portfolio. It is an extremely well-managed, disciplined company with a well-invested asset base and healthy cash generation. Moreover, it returns the vast majority of its free cash flow to its shareholders. These attractions remain in place despite the recent profit warning. The company will be paying a series of special dividends this year and its shares continue to look attractively valued.
