The lack of dividend growth is quite incredible

I sold out today. It's just a value trap IMO. The dividend is lousy despite the cash balance and they look like they're going to reinvest all the money they raise from disposals of property and the insurance business back into agriculture, which if the Bardsley acquisition is anything to go by will be a disaster.

They are selling off all the best bits, leaving the least profitable parts. When the get cash in I am frightened as to the company buying more low profit agricultural businesses.

Give the shareholders a bigger annual dividend and a special one and the company might have a chance of being rerated by the market.

The share price has halved in the last 5 years and is nowhere near the NAV. They should increase the dividend to try and improve the share price

They should do a buyback and pay a special dividend

I am worried about what the directors are going to do with the majority of the proceeds. They will only spend a small amount on share buy backs. That leaves a lot of money to be spent on investments such as Bardsleys.

They should pay out a big dividend to the shareholders.

Hello Arthur and others,

Well, having sold BF & M, which has occasionally contributed handsomely to profitability, they are going to find it increasingly difficult to be profitable. A bunch of low margin agri companies is never going to be a huge profit generator.

Their understanding of risk is incorrect, to put it mildly. Yes, the results of certain sorts of insurance companies like BF and M are VOLATILE, but volatility isn't the same as RISK, particularly if you have a well-capitalised company like CAM that can survive across the insurance cycle.

Of course, tiredoldbroker, we all know that ANY significant asset sale at or above book value is (apparently) positive for shareholders, given the huge discount from TBV to market cap. I can't believe there is a single shareholder here who's bought the Company on the basis of its tight run profitable operations. We are all awaiting asset sales and BF & M's was well-signposted.

Likewise for opposite reasons, any asset purchase is a clear negative for CAM shareholders, unless at a huge discount to the acquired companies' asset value. This is compounded by the fact the management have demonstrated an outstanding inability at valuing potential acquisitions. The English apple company was a disaster waiting to happen.

That is why I say any asset sale is "apparently" positive for shareholders. It depends what they do with the 80m. It should be simply given back to shareholders as a return of capital.

Unfortunately, a significant part of it is likely to be wasted pursuing the high-risk, low return strategy of "diversifying" in the agricultural sector. This is not diversification; it's throwing good money after bad.

Forgive me being dyspeptic, given the decent price realised for BF & M. I'd be far happier if they'd flogged off some of the hopeless unprofitable agri companies.

Thanks EezzyMunny for giving details of Linton Park;When the estate round the house was sold in 2015 I had not realised CAM was the buyer;this as indicated makes the property far more valuable even if there is a shortage of dodgy Russian buyers at present!

The Bardsley Apple purchase was a total disaster.My understanding is that much of land used is leased this could lead to us paying rent for years in addition even if growing ceases.

I have a modest holding here bought fairly recently at sub £50;but even though the book asset value is vastly higher & the real cost for example of replicating the Tea Estates would be astronomical unless these core businesses actually make a return it is at moment difficult to justify a higher share price even if the value of potentially sellable surplus parts like land,property & investments comes close to present market value.

Let's hope BBC have not been looking at Kakuzi's operations as well as those of Finlay (owned by Swire) and Unilever and found anything wrong.It is of course a likely target for investigation following previous problems.It does highlight a problem for CAM.Kakuzi is a listed Kenyan company with outside mainly Kenyan shareholders;albeit with a CAM majority shareholding.Its board of directors & advisory board is made up of Kenyan Nationals with according to their CV's a very high level of expertise & professional qualification with a single CAM appointed non exec.How far should UK Company be held responsible for Kenyan operations?
