liquidity is non-existent and the spread is usually large
Had sold roughly half my holding at around 40, kept the rest hoping for a takeover by Japan Tobacco at 45 or 50. Still waiting... I keep holding as the dividends ease the pain here, but it is not my favourite share this one...
however I cannot find any reason for the big fall?
Also the most important - the last two or three times that we had a trading update/results RNS the price went sharply down and stayed down. This time however, after the initial dip there was heavy buying that brought the price back up. This might not mean much, but it could be an indicator of a turning point... In any way, at this price the risk/reward ratio is quite good for buyers/holders
I know what you mean huwie as the SP has not been doing well last year. This might not be an exciting share, but it is a solid company with good cashflow. The dividend policy is also very good here, so even with a flat SP you can get good returns from the dividends.
The results look solid to me and the dip in the SP looks like an excellent buying opportunity. That, said I bought a few this morning, back above 700 soon - GLA!
here today. It is now oversold imo. There has been good buying support around 3980 this morning and it can bounce from here. Even if not £1.50 divi on the way 6th of July. Happy to hold for the dividends here. GLA all and hope for SP recovery for long term holders
cant believe my eyes, I saw 8.32 earlier, either there is something wrong we dont know, or they re trying to scare the people
It is overbought IMO, sold out and would start buying back at 211-212 and below, I believe it will correct and visit that price range again in the not so distant future - that's just my opinion though, it might keep rising - GLA!
1000 looking more likely than 795 now :)
Seems I should have held on to the last few shares for a bit longer... No regrets here though, as I still believe the valuation is a tad inflated, even after taking the fall in GBP/EUR into consideration... It can of course keep climbing higher in the short term, but will need a correction at some time and therefore I would not recommend it as a long term value buy and hold at levels above 4000...
With much regret I have completely sold out of ULVR today. I decided that is quite overlvalued and a drop might be due. It was my favourite share and I do not want to stay without it for too long, so lets hope there will be some kind of pullback to get back in. GLA
Thank you for your comment CanOnlyBeOne. I was trying to play my cards right here to get a good profit to make up for losses in other shares and so far so good :) I was expecting 4000 as I posted earlier, did not expect it to come as fast though. I did not see anything very specific, but the fall in GBP/EUR was one of the main reasons to keep holding. From now on it gets a bit trickier though as there are just too many variables in the next 2 months - news, brexit, french election, Q1 results, annoucement about strategy etc to name a few...
At 5000p I would sell my remaining holding without a second thought. I am generally positive about Unilever and although I recenty sold some shares at 3825, I am still holding the rest as I believe there is potential here. However none of the fundamentals could justify prices above 5000p and I think it is unlikely they can achieve the sales / earnings growth to justify this price in this decade. While I still believe prices in the 4000s are achievable (I posted about 4100 target here last autumn), at 5000p+ I would regard it as a bubble.
So I understand that the 8p option price takes into account the likelihood of final binding approval being granted soon. It has been a long wait though and there is no guarantee it will come very soon... It has to be before the summer though because then the company will need new funding. Maybe the 6p share price reflects this uncertainty...
