83p drop on DVWA is it technical?

[praipus] 02/10/2008 13:31

Can anyone tell me what the yield is on DVWA?

[scribbler101] 21/8/2008 23:54

Can't see why DVW needs to pump water anywhere. Lake Bala is far higher than Wrexham and Chester.

[ducatiman] 21/8/2008 21:46

going to have a good look at these. ty for thread.

[praipus] 21/8/2008 21:41

Probably save some money and improve margins. Pumping water about usually uses a fair bit of electricity.

Industrial activity in the area has slowed markedly compared to last year. The overall effect is expected to be a reduction in revenue of approximately £350,000 on a full year basis.


I didn't realise we HAD industrial activity!

Added 500 at £9.90, plus costs, earlier this week.

Long term hold for the divi.

DVW is already among the dozen water stocks listed on the H2O thread


But if anyone can think of other UK water stocks that ought to be added, please mention them there.

For info: In the south east (River Thames catchment) the annual volume of water used (at the tap) will exceed the average annual rainfall by the year 2016 at current rate of increase of use. That does not include the proposed additonal housing planned for the area, but does not taking into account clamatic chamges in rainfall.

Even in the soft South, where I now live, we are no longer (as we were only two years ago)worried about the underground aquifers being low - the scenario of water shortage is currently some way off. The weather is unpredictable. Freak rainstorms occur anywhere.

I am pleased with the divi increase and will personally be content for the company to stay independent.

Problem is we're too small for the big boys to bother with.

At least from a financial point of view. But I wonder what the Dee/Ceiriog catchments may be worth in an era of scarcer water?

I never worry about wasting water - the river is always full of it.

[jeffian] 03/6/2008 19:11

I think we're all just waiting for someone to come along and take us out!

[scribbler101] 03/6/2008 16:18

Usual active market - no shares traded at all!

We must all be happy holders.

From today's Full Year Results:

'The substantial completion of the work at Boughton has resolved that potentially significant financial risk which was facing the Group and has allowed the Board to return to its progressive dividend policy. Accordingly, subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting, it is proposed to pay a final dividend for the year of 35.8 pence per ordinary share, making a total dividend for the year of 52.7 pence per ordinary share, an increase of 8.2%. The final dividend will be paid on 1 August 2008 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 4 July 2008.'

Results expected 3rd June.

Having held these on and off for quite a few years it seems to me just when you think its getting nasty or a bit boring you sell buy something else that goes down a lot. Then out of curiosity have a look to see what Dee Valleys doing and they've either gone up 25% or given 50% of the spare capital back as a special dividend....so just hold and add when cash allows IMHO.

[scribbler101] 24/1/2008 09:43

I thought it was good for DVW?

I think this share is so little traded that its price does not have much to do with fundamentals - or market trends.

[zeppo] 24/1/2008 09:41

Scribbler 101, Praipus

No recovery since the OFWAT review was published.

What was you view on this?

Should the review agreement have had a negative effect on the share price?

[scribbler101] 24/1/2008 09:20

My only red ink today - though not actually traded.

[jeffian] 14/12/2007 14:24

Really? I'll never get the hang of this market thing!

8-)

[scribbler101] 14/12/2007 12:41

Well; the one trade today was 1500 shares at 1036.127

I suspect the price will rise if anyone buys a large number.

[jeffian] 14/12/2007 11:03

Well, that's set the share price on fire! (NOT!)

[scribbler101] 14/12/2007 10:58

thanks hindsight - from a brief glance looks lke they got most they asked for - doubtless all they expected!

[praipus] 14/12/2007 10:53

Yes so in theory we should see some share price recovery.
