About blooming time.

Utilities (water in particular) always have the worry government will turn off the dividend tap. But for years governments have allowed utilities to rip off customers, and talk about proper regulation always seems to die out as ministers see more "important" things to spend time on...

Nevertheless I feel safer with insurers, being clearly private entities rather than state-sponsored monopolies.

A lot of defensive shares utilities, BT, GSK etc are at or near lows, so I don't really see why these would "correct". I have picked up a few recently hoping for better things longer term. AV remains in my top four though.

This stock is not alone. Lots of stocks seem underpriced to me and I seem to hold most of them. People talk of a pull back coming in the market, but I reckon it is already pricing in several interest rate rises, brexit, a Labour government and the next recession.

We may be having a little dip to discount any interest rate rise, but why the low price to start with. Seriously I can not understand why this is so low at present. Obviously out of favour with the big boys for some reason. Any ideas folks?

£5 welcome back

[jaf1948] 05/10/2017 09:39

Thanks again for the correction.

JAF - its says today :-

"05 Oct 17 Ex-dividend date for 2017 interim dividend".

Tomorrow (6th) is record date.

[jaf1948] 05/10/2017 08:45

Thank you for that. As you say, that explains today but what about the rest of the week ???

[lord gnome] 05/10/2017 08:42

Shares are quoted ex-div on a Thursday JAF. Tomorrow is the book keeping date. We are ex-div now, hence the drop. (Although you would hardly notice yet another drop on our recent share price performance).

[jaf1948] 05/10/2017 08:26

Aviva's own website says that xd date is tomorrow (6th).

[dr biotech] 05/10/2017 08:15

Xd today. Advfn dates are a day out. Not really sure why thins has declined since the summer, but it's still a long term hold for me

[spacecake] 04/10/2017 16:44

Moving down ahead of ex divi day ?

Ironhorse I sincerely hope and expect that your petition fails to garner sufficient support and even if it does, then our elected representatives will consign it to the dustbin of history.

Two wrongs do not make a right.

[edmundshaw] 29/9/2017 08:15

Well there is £223m of it! Which is something less than half of the $650m

[lord gnome] 28/9/2017 19:51

Perhaps they don't even need to replace the debt. That's circa £40 millions straight to the bottom line. Nice! Maybe that's why the shares have perked up in trading today.

[edmundshaw] 28/9/2017 09:44

Well that RNS says over $53m of interest payments sliced off the P&L... any replacement debt would be at a much lower rate of interest, though that is not mentioned.

Good day Spacecake

The rectangle top shown by the brown and pink lines is the sideways movement. Whether it will hold for 18 months I couldn't possibly comment.

[spacecake] 22/9/2017 16:37

Great chart bracke, you missed off the possibility of the share price moving right in a holding pattern until the tories lead us into oblivion in 18 mth time.

[blusteradjuster] 06/9/2017 13:06

Down below the 200 dma - probably needs to regain it to avoid further falls.

[edmundshaw] 06/9/2017 09:24

Support at 500p? Anyway, back to good value and some defensive qualities perhaps going through Brexit...

[finkwot] 27/8/2017 10:48

Villarich

are you seriously suggesting that there are market makers for this stock?
