Recent history has shown a big sell off after the release of excellent news, but I’m holding to sell half for a reasonable profit at £35 and the remainder when Greggs reaches £40. Im always the optimist.

Me too.

Maverick thinks THEY want the price low to buy in , I wish THEY would want to price to get to £35 !

I’d love a more informed investor than me tell me why this just happened, apart from “ a bit of profit taking “

As many have spotted and stated on other sites, this is, in many ways, a similar looking set up to maccy da’s, low cost, in house produced on the go food, especially with a new concentration on sit in sites, offering loyalty offers, and meal deals.

Who knows where this can go.

As Greggs have plenty of cash I would like to see a small increase in the dividend as the company appears to have enough capital and credit facilities to fund new outlets as well as a dividend.

Thx for that , I’ve decided I’ll dip my toe in here tomorrow, im with iWeb so will see if there is a w8 BEN form on their site .

Thx for that. I can sort of see the potential here but apart from a few who may have traded this with limited success it appears that the great divis ( minus15%) all seemed to have come with a relative deduction in share value. If I had bought when I first asked on this boards I’d be down 20 % already. I do see the potential, but at what risk. I’ll do some more scolding over the weekend.

So if my isa is full would there be a 15% reduction or even more as some earlier posts on the board, I’ve been looking for a while, mention some firm which needs filled in and housed with your share dealing platform that recoups or negates some deduction!

It will be interesting to see if the next upbeat trading update results in the usual fall in share price as it has the last two or three.

I can only think institutional investors will accept only exceptionally high updates and future forecasts, for price to rise significantly .I’m still expecting / hoping for £30 in the not too distant future and up even higher, if some sort of compromise in the bread basket Ukraine area is achieved. ( although there currently doesn’t look like any sign of it )

it’s not exactly been a stellar merger with stagecoach with the economies of scale and shared depots costs etc. pretty sure the price was around the £2 + region, my average is about £1.80 so i’d be **** a hoop with a £1.30 price.

good luck all holders and hope patience will s rewarded.

Dividend question, for those that were invested before the 20/1 consolidation, how much did each share divi actually produce in hard cash as I understand there is some sort of withholding tax . I’m presuming the gross figure was around 20 x 3.4p so around 68p . How much was the deduction? I’m still not invested here so still on the precipice debating weather to press the button .

The current “ beast from the east 2” weather doesn’t seem have greatly reduced the foot fall and queues in the north of England from what I have seen. Hopefully the timing, when families are in towns and cities Christmas shopping, will help mitigate any reduction in trade. We just need stability in Ukraine area now.

I am considering Dec to add a bit of diversification into my portfolio .I don’t foresee it come crashing down but where do longer term holders get their optimism from when the generous divis received appear to be just taken from a consistently dwindling share price and are any of these holders on a paper price + divi gain or are they merely locked in now hoping for gas prices to increase to aid well values increase or some other factors. I think if institutions thought this would come @crashing down” it would have gone so already. Asking for thoughts really, never advice .

I’ve been looking at this share for months, along with the dividends. Are any medium or long term holders in a nett profit here ( not the lucky day traders ) as I can’t really see a period where any divid receives have not just been lobbed off the share price never to really recover. They price just looks so tempting at the moment but history just patterns a drop of more than the divi and a further slope down to the next ex div date. Can any optimists give me some support that looks like a buy .

My dividend is showing as been reacted but no credit to my cash account ?

I’ve often had it by late in the afternoon but never on the day. With all the tax limit reductions I’m gradually selling off my mediocre performing account I use for trading and will maybe top up isa in April , or have a few nice holidays instead. I’m sure not 50p a share up on my capital but here for the divi, like most I presume, I envy the ones who bought on the covid dip, they’ve had nice capital growth and nice divis. I’m cautiously optimistic.

You’re lucky my iwebsharedealing accounts still haven’t added div. ?

Looks like my cheeky trade backfired , not to distraught just patience now and waiting for rise cak to around the 220 mark.

Got my buy, let’s see how man gets on compared to ftse.

With no stamp duty this can be a great share to trade over a day or two, as long as your plans don’t tie you in.

I’ll try and get in this week at 209 and out at around 214 ( I’m not greedy) also got a longer holding bought at around 220 which is my divi income set in isa.
