If they pushed the div up a bit could go to 35 quid.

Yes, one of his few successes. My only failing with this share is that I never reinvested the capital distributions it pays out every few years into adding to my holding.

This is the share that has been on my watchlist the longest without ever investing. Mr Hangman pointed me in their direction in banter in the old LOQ days. Very pleased I joined the party 9 years late at the back end of January. I suspect they will now remain as a core part of my ISA for years to come.

This company makes a clear 33P on each pound of turnover, clearly they are good at what they do OR play on the fact that one deals with them at the very time your not in a position to shop around. Even if you could shop around no one in the sector is working on price. Not like a supermarket.

The overall cost has gone through the roof over the last 20 years across the board.

As have profits here.

I would be very worried the fat margins don't get smashed by the government or an easy jet style service.

That might not happen in my lifetime though.

lol.
This is also based on last year which had a hell of a lot of people passing away.
Funerals are so expensive now, I'm amazed the government doesn't try to cap them, people just cant afford to die.

Always fully valued here! I've been waiting years for an entry point.

[celeritas] 14/2/2017 12:14

Seems fully valued here at 23x, anyone think theres room for an increase.

Disgusting habit, not my style...
If you make sweeping statements with nothing to back it up you will invite derision, bias notwithstanding.

monthly inverted hammers

you can spit at me now if it does not fit your bias

[muffinhead] 15/5/2016 19:31

the shareprice is going to die soon

[brahmsnliszt] 09/5/2016 20:33

Not a holder but a friend is.

Read Panmure Gordon & Co's note on DIGNITY PLC (DTY), out this morning, by visiting hxxps://www.research-tree.com/company/GB00BRB37M78
"Dignity (DTY) the UK’s only listed provider of funeral related services, announces its Q1 results this morning (Jan-Mar ’15), which are “consistent with the Board’s full year expectations, which remain unchanged.” As was made clear at the group’s full year results in March, the number of deaths in 2015 was abnormally high compared to long term trends, helping DTY deliver a 13% PBT beat against our forecasts. Since that time, ONS has highlighted flu and dementia as the most likely drivers of the spike..."

Trading update Monday.

Why is it with most of my shares when we get an announcement they go down

[suetballs] 02/3/2016 07:40

Good 2015 dividend up. Slightly lower profit in 2016 due to expected lower death rate but overall a sound business.

No pockets in a shroud!

[hydrus] 16/10/2015 21:12

£20 more like

[eburne1960] 16/10/2015 19:58

£2?? Shurely shome mishtake?

[hydrus] 16/10/2015 16:56

I'm pretty confident we will all die, but yes the company was clear that it would correct. If this gets to £2 I'll be filling my coffin with them.
