Gsk Share Discussion Threads

Could well be right. The damned thing has been very volatile share price wise for a blue chip company. I like the divi...but I hate looking at red on my portfolio. Watching and waiting....

[montyhedge] 11/2/2019 18:13

After ex div I bet below 1500p, 1465p my target.

[funtimejonny] 11/2/2019 17:14

I agree. It's a bit pricey right now. I have it on me watchlist but not buying at this price

[zicopele] 11/2/2019 11:45

Emma...you on first name terms TM?

I do like your style. EMMA adds gravitas to your post.

Meanwhile GSK is falling..it does tend to disappoint circa £16.

Monty is right. Buy again sub £15.ex div.

Leave the dividend for the longs.


PS what is a green baseline?

[tradermichael] 11/2/2019 11:33

The level and timing of GSK investments in Immuno-oncology is a strong indication that there's a massive opportunity here. Acquisition of Tesaro likely to tie in with the Merck partnership, and new R&D chief Hal Barron and Emma have it all planned with a faster track to the market than starting with a green baseline.

[zicopele] 11/2/2019 10:59

A lot of hope and a lot of debt 20BN. GSK is not a corporate bond.

A little bad news on the deep science of Tesaro and there goes your yield.

monty: "because I know when ex div, they always fall,"

Not always, and always not for long if it does!

[montyhedge] 11/2/2019 10:46

I like the ord share, but even a great company bought at the wrong price is a bad investment, sold at 1560p foregoing the div, because I know when ex div, they always fall, I think I will get these back at 1465p.Shares of course should be quite firm leading up to ex div.

[montyhedge] 11/2/2019 09:29

All depends if you got in at the start, it was there 5.25% if your late to the party of course you won't get much.

[scburbs] 11/2/2019 09:26

The 5.25% 2033 presumably redeems at 100 so are trading around 1/3rd higher than redemption price so yield to maturity is nowhere near 5.25%. Haven’t done the maths, but looks like it probably yields under 2% over the remaining life taking into account the redemption loss.

[tradermichael] 11/2/2019 09:23

OK - as you know, there are plenty of peaks and troughs to sell and buy as this share swings and rarely goes anywhere in a straight line - good luck.

[zicopele] 11/2/2019 09:13

I will stick around TM. want to buy back on the dips.

Should be lower at some stage in the next two weeks.

That debt of 20bn is a concern until it is not a concern

A Brexit deal might strengthen sterling and that will be bad. I presume all the longs on this board here are brexiteers

[tradermichael] 11/2/2019 09:00

Goodbye zicopele - never thought this share suited you ;o)

[montyhedge] 11/2/2019 08:57

Thought you would have waited until ex d.

[zicopele] 11/2/2019 08:36

Monty...I have sold...the debts are enormous.

[montyhedge] 11/2/2019 08:08

Yes, but you can write the script now, until ex div they will be firm, go ex d then back below 1500p.

GlaxoSmithKline (LON:GSK) had its target price increased by HSBC from GBX 1,820 ($23.78) to GBX 1,860 ($24.30) in a report released last Thursday. HSBC currently has a buy rating on the stock.

[montyhedge] 11/2/2019 07:43

[scburbs] 10/2/2019 13:29

This is the sort of return you could expect from a GSK corporate bond. Personally, I like the 0% 2020 bonds! Nice to not have to worry about pesky dividends/interest.

[jadeticl3] 10/2/2019 13:25

Hit £22 in 1998.

[alphorn] 10/2/2019 12:55

??? £20+ around 20 years ago.

[grahamite2] 10/2/2019 12:49

Wasn't the high in 2013, in the 1700s?

[dudishes] 10/2/2019 07:10

Forget the divi (nats after tax), I'm in for return to the £20 days, bought at 14.84,not a lot, but rare (usually bear).
I'm influenced by the Co, I like it, but not in love. Business and all that.

Jump in, jump out - shake and roll.

[montyhedge] 09/2/2019 15:39

You are exactly right, div 23p I bet they fall further than 23p when xd. GSK you know no dividend growth 80p for years to come it seems. Corporate bond for me.
