Woah, middle of the day trading statement!

"Profits for 2016/17 are likely to be materially above market expectations."

Thanks for the explanation Nod, must admit I was also scratching my head about the 25p interim dividend and wondered why I couldn't see any xd or payment dates. So being quirky and paying dividends in a random way explains it.

30p dividend payment due tomorrow........

GW doesn't tie dividends to its results. It likes to announce dividends at random, as you can see from the months above. It's always done quirky things.

Not sure they mess about with calling the dividends interim and final, they just pay them out when they have the cash :-) 25p paid in December and 30p due in March is my understanding.

If that is the case how come they paid the interim divi before the interim results which were on the 10th Jan?

Big volume absorbed today

Don't you just love the unpredictability of a predictable dividend?The XD months since 2013 have been: March 2013, May, August, June, October, February, August, April, October, January 2017.Spot the pattern?Total dividend over those months is 203pA great place to be.

Wasn't the 25p paid 2nd December?

[cfro] 01/3/2017 09:59

Special divi of 30p due to shareholders this Friday, but does anyone know when the interim divi of 25p is due? I cant see a date anywhere for that.

New all time record .. wondering if strong trading is continuing .. W

[cfro] 21/2/2017 18:02

Yes very strong finish. :-)

Nice price movement today!!

Role on 3 March for that divi too...

High Street Partners Limited has accumulated over 5% I looked them up and seems to be Valeriy SHISHKINhttps://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/XIs6XwJmYZ5pMNn612NRIObHf5k/appointments

Woozle, yes, unusual but +ve. I get the impression that not many holders want to sell.Daily volumes have been higher than normal over the past three months. Coinciding with the strong rise in share price GAW could often go a few weeks with barely any trades. Perhaps an insti or two is steadily accumulating.

[woozle1] 14/2/2017 11:29

Interesting that the dip when the stock went ex-div was so small. In past years it's normally fallen like a rock!

[nod] 14/2/2017 11:00

Well done IC, a nice profit since July.

[frazboy] 14/2/2017 10:32

In fairness to the IC they did had a buy recommendation for the them in July's issue.

[nod] 10/2/2017 11:57

frazboy, my thoughts too. Did they tip GAW as a buy last year?Questor at The Telegraph got it right on 26 July 2016 with the "risky" tip to Buy at 465p. This was partly based on the pound's steep fall.

[frazboy] 10/2/2017 11:05

a bit late for that tip, although no one doubts that the next set of results will be excellent with somewhere between 60p and perhaps 75p of earnings. I guess the issue as to what value there is here, is, to what extent can the recent performance be sustained? sales and hence earnings have been quite variable in the past.

Amongst the main tips in IC today

[woozle1] 09/2/2017 16:54

It's been paying my school fees for some time!

Nice to see the recent strength in the share price and also today turning positive. Still good value on a PER of 12.5 for current year, brokers estimate of EPS 67.70p still seems light for current year, interims achieved EPS of 34.0p and historically GAW are always H2 weighted, happy to see brokers being conservative because it means there is likely to be another ahead update before results in July.

With a 25p dividend declared in the recent interims and a further special dividend of 30p announced in January trading update, this gives a yield return of 6.5% and we still have a final dividend to look forward to. I am not aware of many stocks that offer a near 10% yield.

This type of publicity would cost a fortune. It's been picked up by loads of news outlets!
