Another tasty special dividend of 10p announced today, very nice too.

Cool day...am I the only one on here heavily invested here, and I bought for the divi and good PE ratio for a brand that doesnt waste 30% of it selling price to a price comparison site!

Ppeople generally dont change their insurers that often, insurance is based on the premise that 25% is GP, if you dont use a broker and buy direct, as it says on the tin, whats not to like about this company?

The gross margin reached 44.5%, down 150bp yoy. Operating profit reached $151m, thanks to the €137m termination fee related to the failed Atmel merger. Without it, the operating margin would have fallen to 7.2%. Due to the soft market conditions, the company slashed its guidance for the FY ..."

DLG has got to be a genuine takeover target. Whilst operations are getting leaner. Sales growth is borderline organic and now limited to the UK market.Great cash generation but lacks the punch of greater ambition. Market cap now hovering over £5B. An excellent long term hold - imo.

Missed a trick yesterday, with the share going xd.

Let's hope today is the start of re-building back to the 4 quid range.

[eaaxs06] 01/3/2016 13:55

[eaaxs06] 29/10/2015 14:40

Another new intra day high, when the overall market is down nearly 1%.

It's had a lovely run over the past two months.
