We have lots of broker targets at around £5 and a daft one from Barclays at £10. Nothing is gonna the market cap.
I do think the new CEO is sensible but he can't make the sp rise materially. Can't see the world could cope with a sustained PoO either to drive the price up.
The windfall tax is a bugbear that the likes of Exxon don't have. Treasury dips into everything everywhere 'cos UK is a dead duck.
Was not on the case when this went ax-div otherwise would have sold beforehand as this was bound to happen. Always drops more than the dividend. Suspect it will re-rate down a quite a bit now wiping out a lot of the recent weeks' gains.
HL bundle up the clients' purchases and the brokers always somehow sell them at the max price on the day - funny that, so it's not a good idea to allow them to make regular purchases on div reinvestments on your behalf.
That's better. Hope it gets back to where it was before the drop, the reason for which I don't get.
Divi is decent but the sp is the same as it was 5 years ago.
Wish I'd bought end Sep 2020. Gain would have been > 100%.
All those director sells masquerading as tax related show me that £6 is what the market thinks is fair value.
Can't see anything happening to HSBC - just ups and downs with the market.
So it's a bond proxy. A bit better than than a savings account probably.
Maybe. Looking at simplywallstreet they have:
.Trading at 56.9% below our estimate of its fair value
.Earnings grew by 56.4% over the past year
RISK ANALYSIS
.Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3% per year for the next 3 years
.Unstable dividend track record
If earnings are forecast to decline then how can they say it's 56% undervlaued?
If you'd said that 5 years ago you'd be down 12-15% on the sp.
I think, however, this is indeed one of the strongest FTSE100 stocks. Likely to be around for a long time. A good hedge against the S&P500 taking a nose dive - although of course the FTSE will then follow.
