Sharefall, I think your point is excellent. Shell has chosen to pay off debt and not increase dividend due to all the problems caused by high fuel prices and the bad press it would cause. Similarly with the COP26 summit around the corner Shell are making all the bad news to avoid the heat. It's all an excellent strategy.
Shareholders will be rewarded but not at the expense of the company credibility - its a long run approach.
I have shares in GSK and Aviva, both have gone up since activist funds have got involved. This could be the catalyst that gets us beyond £19. Exciting times.....
We will swing back over £17 tomorrow. I hope £17 will not be the new £15, where we keep going back and forth over the threshold. There is some positivity out there at the moment lets hope this can continue to push up.
I think the Fund managers have seen all the reports of oil and gas shooting up and have started to buy in. I can't see why else we would be shooting up like this.
I still can't believe where we are in just a few weeks and we could go through £17 tomorrow, after all the £15 discussions for weeks together.
We still got good news flow to come in the next few weeks with results and more info on the Permian sale. We could be looking at £18 barrier in few more weeks.
Unbelievable.
What money are we we still waiting for? We sold so many business I have lost track!
My average is £12.18, I was planning to sell at £17 which looks like it's fast approaching. I am tempted to hold as the return of the £7B is bound to have a positive effect on the SP, but the oil and gas bubble will burst and I don't want to miss my target. Decisions Decisions
The geology report out in recent days would makes a great read for any company interested in a takeover. I was thinking at this SP, the geology report is almost an invite for a takeover. Let's see what happens..... it can only be good right? I suppose it depends on your average. I am fairly new to CEY and would be over the moon with a £1.50 bid price.
I will have to pinch myself
I agree. Elliott will find a buyer for the consumer business for a good deal too good for shareholders to turn down. This will undermine Emma's authority and she will resign as CEO. We will have a new CEO who will deliver the company into a new era with cash at hand from the sale.
I have been thinking this for a while and waiting for it it materialise.
This will surely push the SP over £15 in a day or two. The SP rose when this was in the news in June.
Hi All, I was considering buying in here. BMN has been on my watch list for a while and always thought I missed the boat.
I remember I read somewhere that they are planning to raise funds by doing a float on a new stockk exchange somewhere, but I can't find the information anywhere. Anybody help me with that please?
looks like Martin's comments at the forum have given a positive turn to the SP. I bought another £3K yesterday, I'm still in the red overall but not by much. Let's hope we can keep up some momentum in the right direction.
This quarter a lot of cash was used to pay down the debt and some was used for buybacks. What will happen next quarter? If the oil price stays around where it is we will have another big pile of cash, could there be another big rise in dividend or more buy backs? Yes 2 billion buy backs aren't much in terms of impacting the SP but they will start adding up as the quaters go by.
I sold out today, a little dissapointed with only 5% profit, I have reinvested in CEY and AV and will ride the changes those companies are going through. Good luck to the brave who hold here.
I think we are sinking due to the much higher number of covid cases in Spain.
I am still 11% up but my profit is sinking fast, I am determined to hold out though, this will rise again soon enough.
