Today is ex divi day, tomorrow is the recording day.
"The interim dividend will be payable on 3 June 2016 to ordinary shareholders on the register on 13 May 2016"

I'm reckoning there'll be a late rally from 14:00 onwards to 24pish, anyone else's thoughts?

[greyingsurfer] 12/5/2016 09:34

ex date is tomorrow.

Lol! Supposed to go down, not up on ex-div date (not that I'm complaining)!

[aleman] 12/5/2016 08:04

Opened up a touch despite going ex-dividend.

[jbat] 11/5/2016 10:37

Just loaded up some more - ex dividend date tomorrow after all, and just on this one div payment alone you're looking at a 4.3% yield. Nice!

I'm looking at te bigger picture going forward, as too are the directors imo. Growth in parcel delivery in general should continue as shoppers continue to do MORE online shopping.

You should read the last update as a kitchen sink statement. Good should follow.

BUY 80p

There is no doubt todays news is positive but will the profit gained in time from this be enough to fill the gap left from a declining business in general?

dangersimpson2, tough patch? If things were that tough, they would have kept the cash surplus, and would not have considered an aquisition.

Brexit means a load of legal work, stay means more of the same uk law, then euro appeal courts. The Lawyers are allways the winners. Good for that part of the DX business.

Todays aquisition means one less competitor and proof the legal system is very much a paper system.

BUY 80p

As much as it might seem obvious, it's perhaps worth re-stating - the 75% markdown this share received in November 2015 was ridiculously overdone. The goodwill impairment was definitely bad news, but not so bad that you'd say the company was worth a fraction of what it had been the day before.

[dangersimpson2] 10/5/2016 09:27

Paying cash for a bolt-on acquisition (all be it a small one) is relatively positive imo. Shows that as far as the management are concerned it's business as usual. The share price says that this company is fighting for survival, the management actions (paying a dividend, bolt-on acquisition) say that they are trading through a tough patch.

Email is not secure, and is not going to replace hardcopy documents any time soon, particularly in view of how fossilized the English legal system is.

[aleman] 10/5/2016 08:02

My Powers of Attorney weren't emailed out - and won't be anytime soon.

[loverat] 10/5/2016 07:54

Didn't think most solicitors used e-mail. When did all that start?

[aleman] 10/5/2016 07:52

Today's deal will add £1.2m to EBITDA after rationalisation costs. Analysts are probably going to have to increase forecasts a little and we might even see a slightly higher dividend next year.

[rubberbullets] 10/5/2016 07:18

Ano profit warning in November?
I dont no any solicitor using DX, they all use email now

[aleman] 09/5/2016 17:39

Make that 3. I also knew Amazon were expanding their in-house delivery after some trials. I'm not sure that makes DX. a takeover target, though - unless DX hubs could help Amazon achieve 2 hour delivery times, which I doubt. I presume Amazon would despatch from their own high-tech, very large, dedicated warehouses and would have an integrated fleet of its own rather than buying in.

[imgoingallin] 09/5/2016 15:01

There you go mysticx9000 that's two people who know of amazons in house delivery service, we're obviously just making it up. Tut

[mrx9000] 09/5/2016 14:41

What a load of codswallop. I am a seller on Amazon... I package my goods up and use FBA (fulfilled by Amazon). I then get a great deal through them with UPS. Do Amazon own UPS, no they don't.

I buy many things of Amazon, they come through a variety of couriers, none of them owned by Amazon.

[imgoingallin] 09/5/2016 14:34

I'll add further to my above reckoning. Google: shutl and Ebay
Ebay purchased shutl a while back, is it that outlandish to think that Amazon might do something similar?

Obviously not according to mysticx9000. I'll be sure to ask you about which stocks to buy so I'm a billionaire by next month ;)

[imgoingallin] 09/5/2016 14:28

They negotiate their carriers? Oh really?! If you knew anything about Amazon operations over the last two years of so they've been operating their very own delivery operation! As they look to expand that an easy option would be to purchase an existing parcel carrier. Sorry for my first post getting under your skin but it was my opinion and its obvious to me you don't know if amazons existing operation.

If I'd said sainsburys would buy Argos two years ago you'd also tell me to pull the other one wouldn't you?

Spot on imo mrx9000
