The first part of the RNS looks to be extremely good news for GSF. Record revenue levels in parts of the business and lengthy contract dates = scope to increase the dividend. Surprised the SP hasn't responded more positively so far.

Hi Redbull, they've been very, very careful with the wording haven't they? My reading (between the lines) on this is that, with borrowings + cash at hand + ongoing revenues, they have enough to cover current capital commitments to power-up. However, they have also said recently that there are a further 9 potential projects in the pipeline, so I would assume if they went ahead with any of those they'd either have to increase borrowing or come back to shareholders with another placing. Others may take a different view but I would rather they came to us for more cash than continue to increase borrowing, should they need any further funds.

14 Nov trading update said results "towards the end of February 2023" so no need to panic.

Dropping as fast as it rose - or faster - today, should have taken some profits when on offer. May rebound quickly of course, if results are good. Looking for a decent dividend again and an indication of current/future trading likelihood.

Thanks all, interesting & helpful thread.

The fact you keep repeating yourself every 5 minutes is the giveaway, quoting numbers with no evidence or explanation. Same tactic used by all rampers on these boards. Give it a rest.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If enough people believe in the theory, the market responds. Either way, the Armageddon forecast played out & we got very close to £8. Hence my question to the chart-followers - what next?

I'm no more a fan of charting than you fromage, but nevertheless happy to acknowledge when I get it wrong. The Head & Shoulders warnings were given loud & clear but I chose to ignore them, yet we got very close to the threatened £8 on Wednesday. What I'd like to know from the chart studiers (repeating your request on here fromage) is where we go from here, and when is the best time to add here?

Blatant ramping by another P&D merchant.

Wow, wonder how bad the market thought it was going to be? Guess they've stopped the rot re outflows which bodes well for the future. Think I'll leave forecasting to others with more of a clue than me in future...

Well they managed to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear for the finals, who's to say they won't do it again Mike? I'm certainly not betting against them! I still haven't managed to buy back the shares I sold in the run-up to the final results, so actually a short period of underperformance would suit me just now. No sign of it happening yet though...

As bad, or worse, than expected. 0.5p final dividend, making 8.4p total. Continued buyback for those who like that kind of thing, but as I've said before, I can't spend a buyback. Think this will bomb this morning.

feature today on funds & stocks that pay regular (monthly / quarterly) income:
"The standout is independent natural gas company Diversified Energy (DEC) which is trading on an historic yield of 12%.
Operating in the Appalachian Basin and the central US states of Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas, the firm looks to acquire and manage low-risk, low-cost, long-life gas-producing assets.
‘Protecting our cash flow and, in turn, our dividend and debt payments have always been core to our strategy’, says chief executive Rusty Hutson Jr.
Investors should get a steer on the outlook for 2023 when the firm releases its full-year results on 21 March."

Does this parrot ever stop chirping or have you all filtered it?

bouncing a little now, off 431 to 473 in the last week or so. Hope it continues.

Have to admit I was expecting better than this.

Yes, significant bounce off about 8.50 yesterday, could that have been the bottom here?

UKW featured in today's magazine in it's "Great Ideas: Investments to make today" slot:
https://www.sharesmagazine.co.uk/article/invest-in-renewables-winner-uk-greencoat-wind-for-a-handsome-5-4-dividend-yield (it's behind a paywall so only headlines viewable without a login).
"Since its launch in 2013 Greencoat UK Wind has paid an RPI-linked dividend and it reaffirmed these inflation-busting income credentials in January as it confirmed a 2023 target to increase dividends by 13.4% to 8.76p. That puts the stock on a 5.4% prospective yield."
"Dividend cover in 2022 was 3.2 times which leaves surplus cash of £395 million, according to estimates by research group Kepler, which can be reinvested in the portfolio, helping to lay the foundations for further growth in the dividend."
Nothing we don't already know but nice to see it being picked up elsewhere. K

Me too, excellent year. 2022 dividend covered 3.2x so plenty of headroom for the 13.4% increase this year. All we need now is for the wind to blow & we're set fair. Will look to increase my holding here when able.

Dividend unchanged, some good news here for once.

ftseexplorer, I've thought for some time that some kind of merger in the green energy sector is inevitable. I'm also in NESF, FSFL, BSIF, UKW as well as here, it makes perfect sense to me for some of them to merge their resources going forward. Let's see - this might not be the time, but maybe 2024?
