IAG holding up well considering it was sub 160 only a few days ago... and also spent most of the last 3 years sub 160!
(Sharecast News) - RBC Capital Markets upgraded Taylor Wimpey on Friday but downgraded Berkeley as it took a look at the two UK housebuilders. Taylor Wimpey was raised to 'outperform' from 'sector perform' with an unchanged price target of 175p.
"Taylor Wimpey has the wind behind its sales, and we like the cut of its jib," RBC said.
"Of the housebuilding majors it is the least distracted by management change, strategic change or potential M&A activity.
"We believe it is reading the weather well: that the weather is improving. With all hands on deck it may be the first to react to improving market conditions and the first of the large caps to meet its medium-term goals."
The bank also said that while volume growth is a story for 2025 and beyond, the dividend is a key part of the story today.
"The shares offer a highly stress tested yield of 5.4%, and with interest rates likely to fall this year we would advise those looking for income tomorrow to lock in this yield today."
The TW. price has held up well today given the dividend.
I really don't like the way it's falling into the close today!
Yep, I just bought £10k of CCL. For better or worse... will see tomorrow (and the next few years). Cruises are very busy this year, bookings must be at a high level. They certainly seem fuller than before covid. -So if it isn't doing well now...
Question from a newbie. Sorry if the answer is obvious and I missed it.
In 2018 they seemed to have a similar T/O and profit. But the dividend was 15p. Why is it only 1.2p now?
They did open a 0.5% short. Is this something to be worried about?
148. Unfortunately.
Pretty pleased with the last couple of weeks of COST. Although it really should be in a range a lot higher... 80p-120p range would be a good start.
I did see that. Confirming the launch will/should happen on time. But things do happen at the last minute...
I have quite a bit of STX so I'm fully wanting them to do well - and I really think they will. I just want a bit of confirmation that it happened.
Almost a month after the launch... an RNS update would be great. Anyone confirmed the launch happened? Any sales info? Any info on number of contacts made so far?
My suspicious mind says they never confirmed it did launch, just that it was on schedule at the last update. I'd love an update.
Pretty pleased with the share price action today given it's gone ex-divi.
MCRO regularly goes up and down by 10% over a day/days. Occasionally it moves up or down to another range, then does the 10% swings over the next couple of months... then moves range again.
I bought some more at 500p just now, have set another buy at 480p. Will then wait until it get's back up to 540p in a week or two... No worried.
I run a small software business with clients mostly in the US and some in Europe, some in UK.
We just can't get to see our existing clients, or any potential new clients face to face... and it's affecting our profits. People buy on relationship and the last year has been hard: sustained previous income - mostly, but growth from seeing new people - no. Also, our regular clients are all working from home and therefore we can't go and see them for add-on sales. We do get some new and add-on sales... but face to face meetings just accelerate that process so the last year has been a set back.
When the world opens up again and people are back at the office, MCRO will explode in new growth and add-on sales. Even more so with the AWS partnership. I hold.
So, I've only held TED for a few months (since 99p). Already pleased with my return. However, I notice that a few years ago the share price was £20+. I wanted to ask some LTH's... is it realistic to go back to that level, or have there been fundamental changes which mean it will never see those days again?
Thanks in advance for your input and thoughts!
I sold 20% of mine at 322. But I had the finger over the keyboard to sell all when it was 350! For better or worse, I still hold!
I thought a really good update. Very encouraging in sales and margin - can't wait to see what happens in the next few months and years. The boss is back!

I'm hoping that NEXT don't buy TED - although it would work well for NEXT. I'm looking at holding these for a good few years and them increasing by many, many percent. I don't want someone to snatch up TED so cheap in the next few weeks/months.
Someone must know something... something must be happening... for the last few days to make sense.
