... unless he tries to "kitchen sink" it and get out all real and imagined bad news in one go. I hate it when new CEOs do it, but it is a well worn tactic: "Look at all the terrible stuff I've discovered" (share price tanks), 1 year later... "Look how I've sorted everything out" (share prices rises in time for big bonus/options payout).
I'd be curious to know what his salary package is based on, I guess we'll have to wait until next annual report to see that.
While ever the UK government is talking about capital investment, levelling up the regions etc. this company will be a huge beneficiary. It's a great defensive stock in the current climate and should do well even if inflation persists. Thanks for all the updates rivaldo, you're clearly following this one closely and it is a good stream of news you are providing us.
Calm yourself Igor... have another Vodka and get some perspective!
To be fair, I can easily see how the POLY operations in Russia will be affected in some way... for example getting spare parts for vehicles and machinery. But on the whole the management team should be able to cope. I imagine they will have a very motivated group of workers, keen to ensure their continued employment as everything around them turns to s**t!
Putin may have read his military history, but it appears he knows little about economics and trade. Probably alien concepts to an old school communist!
I always go here for divi info... https://dividenddata.co.uk/ex-dividend-date-search.py?searchTerm=PSN
Hi denby69, I'm interested to know what made you decide to sell now? Looking at your previous posts you seemed pretty positive and nothing seems to have materially changed in the interim.
robleo, I'm contemplating the trade. Never tried it before with LGEN, but things generally seem quite volatile in the UK market so it might be a good time to try picking up a few extra points. It depends on the price action leading up to it. When all said and done, I might just ditch some other dodgy holdings I have and top up here post divi.
"One would certainly have to include the CFO in that review too."
They haven't paid down the extra debt they took on in 2018 yet. With a debt to equity ratio at 132.8%, I really don't think they should be talking to their banks to add more debt to increase the offer on this bid!
"I hope this failure of the takeover will sweep through the management of ULVR and these guys have to leave."
Can we afford the gigantic "golden parachute" payments these no-hopers will undoubtedly cream off though?
To be honest, I'm mainly trying to start a new thread 'cos I'm tired of scrolling down the one started last June! Although, with ex divi date on 21st April, anyone thinking of trading around that date to capture the fall?
It seems to me that if the cladding met the safety requirement/standards at the time, then Kingspan (or any other manufacturer) have no liability. The developer had the choice of materials to use and if they went for the cheapest, they should pay the price. If the cladding didn't meet the standards and the developer used it in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, then the manufacturer should be 100% liable.
I guess it comes down to different styles - many laugh at me for holding DLG, a company that sells something everyone needs/wants, makes a good living and pays out dividends. They are "shooting for the moon" with whacky tech, dodgy IPOs and tomorrow's "next big thing". Trouble is, for every spectacular result they get there will always be a couple of duds. Funny that you don't always hear about those investments that went sour!
