30/6/2008 15:51 | Wonder who made the money on the false rumour? JJ spot on, and this was a non starter from the off!. | basbas | |
30/6/2008 15:27 | Also, I suspect Regis will have to refinance GRI's debt (change of control clauses etc.). GRI managed to negotiate most of their credit facilities before the credit crunch hit and Regis probably wont be able to get anwhere near the same terms now. | judge jury | |
30/6/2008 15:09 | Agree with the last two posts: it seems quite surprising that the Regis statement only knocked around 5-10p off the price, immediately on release. I suppose, on the positive side, it did at least confirm that Regis were actually looking. Almost panicked out of short earlier, more or less happy to wait now. | alexx | |
30/6/2008 13:03 | I am not sure who Regis's bankers are, but most of the UK banks have got their hands full at the moment dealing with (1) their own balance sheets and (2) the UK housebuilders. They may have some difficulty getting them to commit more to the UK housing sector | judge jury | |
30/6/2008 13:01 | The regis statement implies to me that if an offer is forthcoming it will not be top dollar. | atlantic1953 | |
30/6/2008 11:33 | statement ( by Regis ) | alexx | |
30/6/2008 10:44 | pyman you should have said that on Friday | alexx | |
30/6/2008 10:20 | No surprise re bid rumours. | pyman | |
30/6/2008 09:05 | Thanks Judge, for me, a lot of profit in hand wiped out. | alexx | |
30/6/2008 08:20 | Will Grainger be bought out? 30 June 2008 The Journal, Newcastle THE REGIS group may make a second bid for North East property giant Grainger Trust, according to Sunday newspaper reports Residential landlord Grainger Trust, which is headquartered in Newcastle and owns 14,000 properties in the UK plus further portfolios in Germany, Estonia and the Czech Republic, has seen its share price slide from 440p in February to 210p last week because of the bleak housing market. Regis Group, which rents out properties and has a venture capital wing, made a failed £885m bid for Grainger in 2006. At the time, Grainger rejected the offer as 'significantly' undervaluing the business. Sources believe Grainger would now fetch around £700m. | judge jury | |
30/6/2008 08:20 | Rumours of Regis interest yesterday I think | judge jury | |
30/6/2008 08:16 | Any reason for this rise? | alexx | |
26/6/2008 08:55 | I think Mr Brough is correct but clearly he got his timing hopelessly wrong. GRI are obviously going to achieve lower sales prices on the houses which revert to them this year, but they will still deliver very high margins on these sales (since the houses were bought years and years and years ago and are only at historic cost on the balance sheet). They refinanced most of their debt before the credit crunch and sold loads of stock into their funds also before the credit crunch (albeit they retain sizeable stakes in these funds). So they have actually been quite clever and can buy new stock whenever they want. Meantime, I expect the home reversion equity release business to grow well in a housing downturn (lifetime mortgages will be more unattractive and less available) which should bode well for future returns (assuming they get their maths right). A bargain even at these prices but I suspect the shorters will continue to use the slug of bad news to drive them even lower. No need to buy just yet | judge jury | |
26/6/2008 08:32 | Back in March I heard Andy Brough of Schroders say on CNN that this stock was one for the locker, which is why it's on my watch list. Since which time ...oh dear. Andy has had a good reputation for his mid/small cap selections but that is going down the pan along with his funds these days. | cardinal3 | |
18/6/2008 11:38 | there again, this is looking more and more attractive at these levels... the economy doesn't stop in these recessions, planning apps still go through, nurses still need accomodation... | wolterix | |
18/6/2008 10:38 | adyfc ...... I'm glad you said that. Otherwise I would have had to. | james93 | |
18/6/2008 07:30 | supposedly plummeting housing market, i think you can take the supposedly out of it. | adyfc | |
17/6/2008 19:43 | Coby that is a good balanced post and when looked at against my comments allows a good basis for arriving at a sensible view. | starship | |
16/6/2008 23:12 | starship - the whole of the portfolio is purchased with sitting tenants - that's what they do. market is paying around 70% for properties let to rent act protected tenants. over a third of the portfolio is equity release in one form or another - probably purchased at 50% or less of vacant possession value. i guess as they have secured a few extra hundred million for potential acquisitions that the banks are happy to take a longer view. no doubt there will be an interim announcement updating on trading for the last quarter and performance against last septembers valuation - similar to the announcement in february declaring 207 sales in the first 4 months grossing £38.8m and achieving 4.5% in excess of septembers valuation - obviously saw the writing and built in some insurance. fall in profit is due to increased borrowing costs not the supposedly plummeting housing market. portfolio is diverse and strategic acquisions in europe will bolster rental returns, i reckon long term prospects are good | coby4 | |
13/6/2008 17:45 | Simon Can you advise on how we can get access to succinct balance sheet summaries. I believe you use a Jim Slater Product. | atlantic1953 | |
11/6/2008 13:39 | Very slippery around here | alexx | |
11/6/2008 10:45 | Is that all Simon? I think 150p sounds too high. | acidic lou | |
11/6/2008 10:16 | James93, I am going for Wipe Out/Debt for Equity reconstruction (choose your form of words). My short term target is 150p - just to set matters in perspective. However, the balance sheet looks hopeless to me. Simon Cawkwell | simon cawkwell |
