Posted at 12/8/2011 15:15 by grantley I hold DWN with an online broker who accept the purchase of my shares/corprate actoin by on my behalf - but it no longer shows in my portfolio as the shares held or the cash - they said this is due to the takeover and will get the cash when it comes through - I thought it would still show on my portfolio until 16th as the deadline has been extended till then - can anyone comment? Is it a case that as I accpeted via the brokers they are no longer showing as past the original date? Thanks |
Posted at 10/8/2011 16:44 by 3800 Hi edmundshaw, I bought some NWS this morning myself. do you know exactly when we are going to get the dosh from DWN?3800 |
Posted at 10/8/2011 16:33 by edmundshaw NWS. Smiths News are buying DWN and should do well from it: a good price, good fits with Bertrams & their news arm, so synergies to be expected. They also found savings from the contracts won from DWN, so they seem efficient.Last but not least, they are cheap & have an attractive dividend near 9%. John Lee (of the FT) likes them too. OK that's the last but not least, sorry! :) Not risk free, and of course the print market is declining (though slowly). There is also debt, but that looks quite manageable, and is reducing. But please dyor. I have already bought there from my cash holdings; DWN cash will top up that cash again (plus a bit :)). |
Posted at 10/8/2011 15:02 by waveneygnome Where are you DWN holders going to put your money?I've just got a chunky bonus from work and not sure where to place it. Currently in: SIV SL RRL CAD XEL BARC |
Posted at 03/8/2011 19:39 by abc125 Offer completion by 26th of august rings a bell...if i remember correctly when i read the offer doc a few weeks ago.Holding on for the extra 4% from DWN has been a godsend in these markets. If I had been impatient, I could quite easily have sold and bought other stocks which would have been now showing a loss. |
Posted at 09/6/2011 22:20 by erniemadoff Cheers CR,Yes, the headline is very misleading, it was Smiths News that referred it to the OFT, typical Press Headline! I have been giving more thought to the details of the Smiths News takeover bid, I think that the Dawson's staff will feel very let down by the board. DWN will effectively be broken up and the staff can lump it or leave it. Ride your winners comes to mind, I think that the DWN board had a great opportunity to ride this winner for a few years more to complete a fantastic turnaround. I appreciate that the Board have been through corporate hell and back over the last 2 to 3 years and are probably feeling drained, but they are jumping ship far too early imo - you just need to look at the Smiths News presentation to see how happy Smiths are with the deal.

Posted at 07/6/2011 14:30 by cockneyrebel Well Smiths obviously think there's a good chance of a bid by fact of the penalty clause they have in there if DWN change their mind and go with another on a recommended. Perhaps NWS know they might have got the 'recommended' bid but it might flush out another buy that perhaps have intimated interest with DWN.Agree with markt - Pearson could benefit from DWN far more - I'd have thought there's no end of private equitiy co's that would like to buy this too on an Ebitda of much more than 3.4 and load it up with debt and refloat on AIM. if you sell off the non ebook division you're getting the e-books for a right snip imo.

Posted at 07/6/2011 07:18 by lord gnome CR - Robbed? I thought that you held NWS as well? LOL - and there was I bemoaning missing out on the recent rise in DWN. Now it looks as though we've bought them for a song! Happy days for DWN holders and NWS holders. |
Posted at 03/6/2011 21:22 by cockneyrebel Cheers Ernie.Schwartz column in in the paper too. I'd be disappointed with a 20p take out. 2p eps looks easlly possible this year - the year end is September. The fwd PE is what matters and these are eminently capable of 2.5p eps for the year starting Oct 1st. At 20p a share the PE would be 8 and eps growing at at least 25%, possibly much faster if e-books division really takes off. So come Sep the PE for the current year may be just 8 at 20p a share - that would be no premium at all. I also think DWN won't sell out on the cheap - the pension has a big interest in the co and they aren't going to want to give their stake up on the cheap. Thirdly, all of the staff have a big interest in DWN doing well as it's a big part of their pension - that's why DWN has been doing well imo, they are like performace related in a time when many people are seeing their pensions slashed - a good pension is a big part of peoples' peace of mind if you have one these days imo.

Posted at 27/5/2011 16:41 by opener DWN will have been a holding that Schroders held in the newspaper distributor days,alongside WH Smith and John Menzies.Following the crash and burn for DWN in that market,the stock became too lowly valued for Schroders to worry about or continue researching.Even if someone like Schroders thought that DWN was set for a huge recovery of multi bag proportions,they simply could not hold enough of them (probably even 100%!) to make a real difference to the performance of even their smallest UK funds.Only option therefore is write off,probably months ago and get what you can in an orderly fashion-the decisions on the sales were made by the FM's the dealers are just executing an old decision,with no further FM involvement.This does give an opportunity for the PI though to pick up cheap stock,stay patient and reap the rewards in time.All IMO and DYOR etc. |
