Plus all this nonsense about not selling to SA by the PC half-wits.

Nice buy from the COO yesterday for £150k

Barclays still retaining 'underweight' and 430p target.

Pension defecit and not holding the dividend still overhanging I suppose.

Today's share price drop....

FT tonight reporting that there are now market concerns that BAE will not be able to hold the dividend at the current level.

More fool them for purchasing French fighters.

That might well be the case but you get double the payments :)
And you dont have to sell them exactly the same stuff!

If you sell to both sides you will also be on the losing side and perhaps blamed for it.

Given the "firepower" sold these days dont see how damage can be limited really. Wasnt aware we sold Chlorine barrels to SA though.

If you sell to both sides you will always be on the winning side!! What if the one you keep in power, sell solely to, falls....eg Shah's Iran

Best to supply both imo therefore.

You limit the damage by remaining involved; I am sure there are plenty of potential suppliers of chlorine barrels if SA wants them.

Not sure about selling to both sides. Need to keep one in power and remain its friend; love triangles never work! :)

@Minerve,

"Best to keep involved, sell the weapons and limit the damage."

Best to keep involved, sell weapons to both sides surely? :)

Little chance of limiting damage imo.

I am hoping the PR from Whitehall is just fresh air to please the ignorants and it is business as usual. It hasn't affected my bullish view on this stock.

S&P downgrades BAE Systems´s long-term debt



The MP's committees need to keep their noses out imv. Hundreds of high tech engineering jobs in UK, maintaining our abilities, depend on sales to less than scrupulous regimes. Just have to hold our noses and trade.

'Tech industry, military tactics and police meet at Urban Shield weapons expo'


.....Rob Stout, a sales manager for BAE Systems, showed off his company’s geospatial exploitation products (GXP) – a type of map originally designed for the military that BAE began marketing to law enforcement departments about two years ago (around the same time that the police response to the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, launched a national debate about the militarization of US police departments).

Stout showed off a demo of a “typical crime area” in Newark, New Jersey, and boasted that the New Jersey state police had used BAE’s products when they were called in to help quell the protests in Baltimore that arose following the death of Freddie Gray in police custody.
