Highest projection since May 2022-one lives in hope. Wonder if Amanda's cash splurge will impact on the upcoming dividend

.... the only insurance co. in the Top 20 Fallers.

Maybe there are still frissons of doubt as to the wisdom/outcome of the DLG takeover?

Good point Laz. and ,hopefully, very close to the mark. On the other hand is progress stagnating causing the BoD to fight shy of parting with any more cash. After all they have bought only 195,000 shares since September 2023 (All at 80p++!)

Dummy sells of whatever amount going to NT-says it all about the present in limbo situation-seven months since any news of note and market reacting accordingly. Surely the BoD must have some inkling of how long these tox studies will take.

"Hopefully they staff are workign tirelessly to do a deal and maximise shareholder value, whihc as a listed company is its objective"

I don't call three days a week working tirelessly!!

Sorry, "advisers"

I see from yesterday's press that Aviva has spent £70million on advisers to the DLG takeover, equivalent to a 24p dividend on nearly 292million shares or nearly 11% of those issued.

NLE for all these "advisors" Rodney

"....surely you have learned that continued radio silence only sends the share price one way?"

Haven't learned????? Totally oblivious is more like it but when riding high on big bucks salaries tends to dull the senses.

Dunno, but unusually we are the only Insurance co. in the Top 20 Fallers-normally all 3/4 appear.

Interesting. No trades shown on my screen after 14.31.

What volume was the UT-unusual for this share?

Oh dear! Another poster engaging mouth before putting brain in gear and making wild uninformed assumptions.

My Chum is the exact opposite of aforesaid wild assumption and is merely stating an opinion shared by hundreds of millions of folk across the globe.

From a Chum in California when asked what his take on Trump is. He is a man of few words!

"Trump's a complete and utter .....r with a huge ego, no class, and no respect for the legal principles on which the nation was founded. Other than that, he seems to be sort of an okay bloke."

SOG

You follow in the footsteps of the many who get out of their cots just because somebody has the temerity to express a pragmatic view of the present situation, as is the right of all contributors, rather than the constant gazing at the situation through rose-tinted spectacles.

If we have such a ruddy good product with a massive market "best in class" etc etc etc. then why hasn't our esteemed Exec. Chair, who has cost us hundreds of thousands since he came on board, managed to persuade the market accordingly and thus provide us with the "shareholder value" the BoD keep prattling on about rather than seeing the SP languish at a level it stood at nearly 9 years ago

As we are now down to the last Placing Price no doubt you will be "topping up"?

Over close to a 13 month period we have had news of yet more significant dilution via ill-judged finance deals: news of Directors lining their pockets: news of 737 being chucked back yet again and just 2 bits of "good news" but nothing of any substance since 1st July i.e. close to 7 months (plus, of course, the usual soothing noises from our £100kpa/3 day week Parker at the none event AGM)

No wonder we're dragging our backsides at 21p

Anybody who bought a bundle of shares in March 2020 at a couple of quid and kept them must be smiling-nice CG and some juicy dividends

Go to https://www.aviva.com/investors/dividends/ and, like The Trotsky, look at past performance and do a few projections of your own.

Increases are not guaranteed

Just seen the two posts re Broker upgrades which for some strange reason were not there when I posted.

Thanks-sounds good.

Highest sp for over 6 years and 2nd in Top 20 FTSE 100 Risers this morning.

Can't find any reason.

Anybody??

Was going to be (choose a year) now it might be (choose another year) but more than likely will be ( choose another year)

A never ending saga with increased intervals between any news and even then b....r all impact on the SP.

Now reached the stage where I think many shareholders would grab at a pound just to get rid of the frustration and to get on with something more productive.

Let's hope 2025 turns out to be "pivotal" !

Carter. Hope you are fully recovered-haven't had same but understand it is the most heinous of afflictions.

Me. Still hobbling slightly from trying to emulate Superman on wacky baccy last March but due for revamped intensive physio tomorrow. That and an all bells and whistles cycling machine might just strengthen the muscles enough to prevent me form being left with a residual limp.

What a state! Just about ready for promotion to "Old f..t" (Second Class)!!

Keep well all you out there and keep the faith as well, however difficult it might be
