Tom (I made a mistake selling) London, move on if you don’t like ITV. I think they are about to take off. They made a profit during a pandemic that is now coming to an end. The City obviously think the results were ok too.
If you feel this company is so bad why are you invested in ITV. I guess you are shorting and I guess beginning to panic. And just incase you don’t read newspapers or listen to radio Covid cases down 20% in a week and we now have a number of vaccines.
What a load of rubbish Tom, involved in shorting I guess! Britbox is going very well, covid cases coming down daily, European Football Championship possibly played in U.K. Possible takeover target. Think I stick around, been doing well out of these.
I sold 25,000 iag at £1.86 in my Sipp and ISA still hold 4587 in a share account HL (and won’t sell due to CGT until April). These (IAG) will come back and I believe will be £2.50+ BUT I strongly believe they will drop back, I recon £1.60ish. If you hold long term you will win, if you trade you may win.
Can’t wait for travel to start again, all those duty free shoppers!
I don’t understand why people on this chat post so many negative comments. I bought more Vodafone on Thursday, yes they have dropped since but so did a lot of shares. The company pays a good div at a rate I believe is safe. Selling of a small percentage of the towers will pay of a bit of debt but will show the real value of the tower business. Covid will be beaten, people will go on holiday/travel so roaming will go up. I will just wait, I can see this being back up to £1.40/50 in next 6 months and as I say nice div while waiting.
I believe $7 billion is current value, DS Smith current market cap £5.7 billion.
I recon they will offer £5.00 if they bid. Paper and board prices going up fast. Print companies has been told there is a 8% price rise on paper prices from 1st March. I would imagine same rise for cardboard.
I am happy with the 1p div plus share buyback. If the banks were to pay big dividends Rishi Sunak would have a great excuse to bring in a special tax.
The buyback will eventually help the share rise I believe, the dividend will increase over time but during a pandemic is not the time to be seen throwing money around.
Earnings per share 8.2p. I very much doubt they will payout their entire earnings. I recon more like 4p. NWG and the other banks will (once Covid has gone) increasingly be able to payout bigger and bigger dividends. NO more PPI, I see these plus Lloyd’s, Barclays and to a lesser extent HSBC as long term holds.
A universal Covid vaccine from a British company could be available within year. Vaccine targets the core of the virus. Is the company open orphan (Flu V), I don’t subscribe to Telegraph online, can some one have a look and report please, very exciting if it is.
30p, think I’ll open a bottle of Tesco Vintage Cava tonight, happy days.
