18.5p Divi
BAe has gradually turned from a safe high yielding blue chip to an exciting investment!

I've held for many years as an income investor in a diversified port. As long as they keep delivering the divis I'll continue to hold, having little interest in share price fluctuations.

Long term these are good
EX div tomorrow guys?

[vas007] 17/4/2024 12:49

Thanks anhar . Just that I bought in at a high level two days ago . Staying in long term.

Short term share price moves are random, hence why they often don't follow the direction some small investors think they "should".

[vas007] 16/4/2024 14:52

What is going on , this should be going up, the current situation.?

The UK Ministry of Defence has awarded BAE Systems a contract to maintain and repair gifted L119 Light Guns in Ukraine.

The contract, which was announced during a recent UK Government-led trade mission to Kyiv, means that L119s which were donated by the UK to Ukraine can be serviced in country and returned to the frontline more quickly.

The situation with Iran-Israel, Russia-Ukraine-Baltics, China and North Korea, mean there will be an ongoing need for BAE Systems.

[tewkesbury] 15/4/2024 14:59

[wad collector] 15/4/2024 09:50

The Words behind Deutsche Bank


BAE Systems PLC (LSE:BA.) received a share price target upgrade by Deutsche Bank analysts on Friday as European defence spending looks to keep growing.

“BAE has more exposure to the Nordic, Baltic and Eastern European states, which are the fastest growing defence markets in Europe,” the bank said in a note.

Given the ongoing war in Ukraine, Deutsche highlighted plans from the likes of Poland, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden to boost defence spending.

“BAE could benefit in two ways, either via direct sales to these countries, or via foreign military sales via the US,” analysts added.

Indeed, Deutsche highlighted a series of high-profile contracts from the US so far this year, including for armoured multi-purpose vehicles, alongside M109A6 and A7 Howitzers.

Demand for military jets, such as the Eurofighter, could also be revived, according to the bank, as orders come through from Middle Eastern nations.

Deutsche lifted BAE’s share price target from 1,290p to 1,440p as a result, anticipating a 12% climb on Thursday’s close.

The article concludes:-

"Clearly, BAE is a very different investment prospect today than it was at the time of our original recommendation in December 2019. Then, it could perhaps most accurately be described as a relatively cheap, high yielding and solid business. Today, in contrast, it is a relatively expensive and low-yielding, albeit still very sound company that has a far more upbeat financial outlook.

While this column naturally veers away from relatively expensive stocks, BAE continues to merit investment. Elevated geopolitical risks are likely to persist, and even multiply, in the coming years. With the company having a solid strategy, broad exposure to a range of market segments and geographies, as well as a sound financial position, it is poised to deliver further capital growth over the long run.

Questor says: buy"

3h ago: "Can US pressure deliver Israel-Hamas truce in Gaza?"

48m ago: "WW3 fears erupt as Israel threatens to strike nuclear targets if Iran launches attack".

Make of that one what you will.

In theory (famous last words) BA is at the bottom of the trendline.

[johndoe23] 09/4/2024 15:45

Not happened

[mikepearce45] 09/4/2024 14:46

Possibly Market Makers dropping the prices of BA, RR and MRO to allow some large buy orders through at the start of the new tax year. It has happened before . Just a thought
