Share price now lower than pre-pandemic so I bought some more at 981p.

Not sure. I am buying them in small batches. Having bought my first batch at 601p I just bought another small batch at 581p. For me any dividend yield over 8% is good enough.

A rise in interest rates should push annuity rates up. May be that is why Aviva's share price goes down because they will need to fork out more money? Does anyone still buy annuity?

Either every single analysts and long term share holders got it completely wrong or completely crap management incompetent in execution , which one is it?

Me too. Bought some at 1035p. If it goes below 1000p I will buy some more. China Covid lockdown, Ukraine war, inflation, interest rate going up together created a buying opportunity.

I just bought some at £6.01 giving a yield of just over 8%. Should be ok if you are buying for dividend as PHNX seem to be quite a reliable dividend payer.

I too have been watching but haven't bought any yet. It is heading toward 8% yield.

Not only I didn't sell, I bought more shares on 7th Apr at a total price of £4.30 per share. This is so that I get to keep the same number of shares after consolidation. My reason for buying is that I am after the ~7% dividend going forward. If you are after capital gain and what to guess what the share price will be on the 16th May, just throw dice and call it.

1pencil, they are awards under the LTIP. If you clicks on the links in the column "Date of relevant event (dd/mm/yyyy)" they will give you more details. The share are freebies. These lots have not risked their own money to buys HCM shares for quite a few years now.

I think we have done this to death now. The opinions are evenly divided so the SP will just bounce around 42x for a while. Looking at the financial calendar:

09/05 - General meeting for approval
13/05 - Record time for entitlement to B shares & consolidation
16/05 - New consolidated shares become effective
18/05 - Trading update
19/05 - Dividend payment
31/05 - Payment of B shares money £1.0169

Trading update on 18 May will be the decisive day. Till then, good lucks.

Davey, sorry to hear about your loss of your dear one. You have been quite informative over the years on this discussion board and it is sad to see you leave. I too have discovered that I invested too much on HCM so I drastically cut it from 30% of my portfolio to 5% so I can be emotionally detached from this share. I still believe HCM is good at the technical delivery of its pipeline but the management is crap at commercial performance. Hopefully the science will save it by 2025 and the market will respond by then. Someday I do wonder whether this is a commercial company or a philanthropy company.

I just bought some more AV shares at a total cost of £4.30 per share. Reasons being that the company has already announced clear guidance for dividends in next two financial years at 31.5p and 33p. So this give a yield of 7.3% and 7.6% respectively. I am hoping when AV pay the dividend on 19/05 and B-shares money on 31/05, the re-investment with these money will push the share price higher. Of course I can get this absolutely wrong, in which case I am happy to keep AV shares and live with the 7% dividend :-)

@Easy_Livin, Av. issued a circular which can be downloaded from here https://www.aviva.com/investors/circular/ . The SP won't be divided by 0.76, the circular page 16 said "the market price for the
Company’s Ordinary Shares remains at approximately the same level as prevailed immediately prior to the implementation of the
B Share Scheme".

The MC of the company also goes down, the circular page 16 said "As an immediate consequence of returning capital to Shareholders, the value of the Company’s net assets will be reduced. "

@maddmax, the share price immediately post consolidation will be roughly the same as pre-consolidation. However, higher dividend per share might attract dividend seekers yo buy and push up the share price but this is by no mean guaranteed to happen.

Received dividend of GBP 0.1656 today. The official NAV GBP 13.57 but the current share price is 13.81. Lots of small buys today must be the re-investment of dividend. Current yield is over 8% great to combat inflation.

The official release NAV today is GBP 13.36 but the share price is currently GBP 13.60.
