Does anyone know when the dividend is predicted to be fully covered?

Maybe they simply don't have spare cash available to buy some shares?

As we get close to ex div day I'm sure the price will rise. If I had more cash available I'd buy at these levels, the REIT is fundamentally sound and generates excellent cash

Wish I had the money and confidence to buy more. I'm suffering big paper losses but continue to believe this company is fairly fire proof and a pretty defensive stock. Comforting to know most of the share price collapse was due to Woodford and his forced sale and I feel certain at these levels it's a no brainer (in my opinion)

This is what the company has said recently... "Looking ahead, we have held our dividend because we are confident that our market positioning, our growth prospects and the strength of our balance sheet give us a clear path to dividend cover"

How can you plan for Brexit? In all scenarios it's not good for business

Does anyone know if a dividend is due soon?

A very sudden 4p drop late afternoon, the day before it goes ex dividend!!

I was thinking the same

Tomorrow is the last day to qualify for the dividend

Good for cash flow but not so good for profit

11% dividend :)

I'm not seeking to turn this board into nothing more than a debate over Brexit but it has to be part of the conversation along with posts regarding who's eaten what at their local pubs and the flavour of different Marston beers It's entirely true with the devalued pound and possible trade tariffs Marstons may be at an advantage in the UK market which is great, but remember this, the share price fell mainly because of the very disruptive weather, ie the punters stayed away. Now imagine a country suffering the effects of a Brexit gone wrong, punters with less cash!!!, yes they'll keep drinking but many of them will stay at home with beer from the supermarket Anyway this will be my last post on this subject, I only wanted to highlight this issue as it's very important regarding investment and more, after all many should be looking for investment insight and advice from this board and not just a review of their sub substandard meal

Corporate and National wellbeing are one of the same Unfortunately you can't separate the Brexit issue from Marstons as much as many would like to and it's a legitimate topic for this board I still think marstons is under valued but please don't think Brexit is all hype, it isn't

I'm astonished at the naivety of some people regarding Brexit, tariffs and the consequences facing the country which are the biggest since the second world war. You say look at the other side of things. Really, what other side?, oh perhaps you mean we'll be able to trade with the rest of the world and have trade deals!. Well actually we already have loads of them through the EU which will come to an end to be replaced with what?. It takes years to to do these deals and do you think we can better what the EU has done?. The EU hasn't held us back with trade, after all countries like Germany thrive abroad, we don't do well because we've got nothing others want to buy and coming out of the EU doesn't change that. As for hype, look at the high street and can you tell me the name of any department store that hasn't gone bust, teetering on the edge or is simply breaking even?. Yes business rates, wages and austerity aren't helping but actually all of these stores and others whist never terribly robust apart from John Lewis all ran into problems post Brexit and the sharp devaluation of the pound making import much more expensive. So if you can't pass these costs on it comes out of margin hence why they can't make a profit including John Lewis now. Now imagine tarrifs on top of all that. unless we get a free trade agreement with the EU there WILL be tariffs of some kind and that's a fact and not hype

Yes the weak pound does help exports, but tariffs destroy them

Let's hope any future tariffs into the EU don't destroy this welcome trade!

I think the sell off was overdone and Marstons is still on the cheap side. As we move towards the next divi and with the results coming up, I'm feeling very positive.

I think £140 is unlikely cheif

5% is pretty significant and I'm thinking they wouldn't have bought in at this stage if the shares, on balance had further to full. Onwards and upwards towards next divi day...hopefully
