BAE has done real well as it seems to be approaching a Resistance according to some of 1327p HOWEVER the general stock markets might well be affected by a topping out

The Enterprize Value EV GIVES AN INDICATION THAT BA. might be considered still undervalued

Once the divi is paid out it might well determine share price direction

Current share price of over 1200p and the dividend of 30p isn’t inflation beating as the inflation is running over 5% at least! The dividend is only 2.4% if you are buying this over 1200p - you would be better.off investing in Barclays or Lloyd’s or NWG

As ohdear suggests, I think you misunderstand, confusing divi with yield. It is the divi increase of 11.1% that is inflation beating. I agree the yield is low but that's a different matter. As for being better off in other higher yielding shares, I do exactly that with BA. plus many other stocks in a widely diversified and very long term hold income port.

For an income investor it is crucial to diversify imo, to spread the risks. This inevitably means that some shares will be higher yielding than others when held for decades like me. That's not a problem because diversity trumps individual yield so an arms maker like BA. is welcome in my port and I've held it for many years. It's the overall port yield that matters to me.

I'm not keen on the idea of share buybacks given the current share price of BA. It does have lots of reinvestment opportunity, however, so I think that's where it should be redirected.

I'm purely an income investor and have held BA. for many years. Dividend growth has been decent and by chance capital growth great, especially the last couple years, though I don't hold with that aim.

The current yield as said is low, under 3% but I'm not considering selling even though I could increase my income by reinvesting in a higher yielder. I largely ignore share prices and rather consider the cash income I receive year on year. Since this has been improving from BA. I'll continue to hold.

Another important point in my strategy is diversification. To reduce risk I hold a wide range of sectors in my port and there's no other share in the FTSE100 to compare with this arms manufacturer though there is in the USA if BA. for any reason ran into trouble serious enough for me to dump it. Guns is a sector in which I wish to be.

To add to the above, the Questor article also mentions that there are no signs of the elevated geopolital tensions reducing in the foreseeable future and on the target of Nato countries spending 2% of GDP, 7 countries met the target last year but 11 are expected to achieve that this year.

Also as the GDP of NATO countries increases so does the amount of the 2% target and Questor suggests that as interest rates start to peak around the world any resumption of growth will feed directly into the GDP targets.

So despite the recent share price increases Questor still rates the shares as a buy.

It also mentions investors have to be prepared for share price volatility and today's share price movement is a good illustration of that.

I think you are right Tournesol - BAe has its fingers in so many pies from knocking out artillery shells to developing a 6th Gen aircraft. And is a 'player' in the American market which is the 'cream' what with their large defense spending.

Amazing to look back on the days when BAe were not quite such a force - when they owned Rover cars and had a stake in Orange the mobile communications people. Humble employees then got a discount on cars but the share price was as low as a pound.

The Thatcher era saved the then British Aerospace with the sale of Tornado to Saudi and now Ukraine as we know has triggered re-arming and increased spending. Today, the design and delivery of Tempest is now critical in BAe's journey. Who knows the outcome of that but with all that the share price potentially has a long way to run.

A shortcut to such a price would be a tie up with an American company. Of course that won't happen with government 'golden share' but in any case, as Orange used to say, the future is bright!

I'm not at all a lover of BB's. abrdn loved them and yet it seemed to have little positive upward effect on the share price

I'm new to BA. - but looking to widen my holdings now I have a SIPP at ii.

On 12 March 2023 I setup a 'pretend' portfolio and BA. were priced then at £9.31. Of the 16 stocks and trusts I was monitoring B. Aerospace stands out as a winner. My concern lies in the possibility I've missed the boat.

The dividend yield is not too exciting at £9+ share price so I'd be investing for growth in the share price - but as I said, I may have missed that boat.

I'll watch for the moment and see how things develop as we approach ex Div date on 20th April

...Anhar, not disagreeing with as you've no doubt been playing this game far longer than me, but why doesn't it enhance the share price (of any stock doing a bb program). I thought the reasoning was that the same profits will be divided between less shares? ...

The reasoning by small investors who like to believe that BBs push up the price, I think has nothing to do with the long term corporate finance effects of the BB. Their view is that the demand for shares created by the BB must impact the share price positively. That might be the case if a suprise large buyer of shares appeared.

This is wrong and the reason it is wrong is that the suppliers of the demand, (small investors being irrelevant to big caps like BA.) are the institutions who are already aware of the BB because it is annnounced publicly in advance. The price of course is not fixed so it's whatever is available on the day to an inst. that wants to dump shares in BA. It's no suprise.

But as I've said, it's not provable either way, just that my experience with a large number of shares over the years making BBs is that they all react differently, there's no clear positive effect and in practice there are far greater influences on the share price anyway, such as in BA.'s case the obvious one over the last year or so.

My conclusion is that no faith at all can be placed on BBs to prop up a share price or trade successfully on it.

...as my experience tells me that share price will always test the base after the buy back...

No offence but if you believe that, your experience must be extremely narrow and limited.

As I said earlier BBs have no effect on share prices in most cases, and BA. is not one of the exceptions. It is just naive to attribute any part of the strong price rise over the last year or so in any way to the BB, you cannot reasonably conclude as much from just one company, one data point, where the price has risen and so it might appear that the BBs had some influence. But it's just coincidence, a false correlation.

I could show you shares making BBs where the price fell substantially during the BB concerned. A recent example is Harbour Energy. If I based my opinion on this one share I might conclude that BBs drive prices down!

With long experience of investing over many years and with many of my holdings making BBs, I am quite sure that they make no difference to the share price, though I can see why small investors draw false inferences from selective examples where they appear to stoke a rising price, whilst ignoring those where they did not. I think it's called confirmation bias...

I guess it's not provable either way because you can't know what would have happened to the price in the absence of the BB, but that's my view over many cases.
