29/8/2008 08:48 | These are good results in "challenging market conditions". Hardy now have no exposure to equities being in fixed income securities or cash, so we can expect a continued positive return from their investments. Tangible NAV now at 213p makes Hardy well undervalued. KIN and HUA have gone. HWY is going. HDU and NVA look obvious targets. | skyracer | |
08/2/2008 13:56 | This seems good value. Inline earnings to come. Low PE. Good yield. Prospects of cash return. Potential target in a sector full of bid fever ie KIN, HUA, NVA and OIH. | skyracer | |
12/9/2007 08:19 | 60% increase in earnings. 08:19 am. Not a flicker of response. | skyracer | |

23/8/2007 14:52 | I would take it to mean that total premiums received is 11 to 16 % more than pay outs. If I am wrong I shall be happy for someone to put me right. | dumpling | |
21/8/2007 20:23 | can some knowledgable person explain what this means please? (from the trading update) .......Syndicate 382 forecast results The 2005 year of account continues to improve and the profit at closure is now expected to be in the range 11% to 16% (previously 7.5% to 12.5 %).

13/5/2007 14:38 | Est EPS 2007 is 31.7P plus Talbot being bought by Bermuda -based company leads me to believe that there is plenty of mileage left in this share. | dumpling | |

30/8/2006 21:35 | Thanks Moogies: that may simply be the explanation - analysts taking their time to digest, etc. As that news came out yesterday, and there was little reaction yesterday, I sensed there may be even more going on behind the scenes today, which someone has got wind of. Perhaps all will come out in the wash. | saucepan | |
30/8/2006 19:30 | As mooted in the IC tip it looks like Hardy are buying "the 9 per cent of the capacity of its Lloyds' syndicate that it doesn't already own so its shareholders - not Names - should shortly be the sole beneficiaries of those growing underwriting profits."

30/8/2006 16:26 | Nice 52-week high on this. Anyone know what is driving today's action? Bid talk? (Went long a couple of weeks ago myself, on IC tip). | saucepan | |
09/8/2006 16:58 | Also not clear from the announcements where up to £75m is coming from. Is it external capital or can we expect Hardy fundraisings? | charlie | |
09/8/2006 16:57 | Any views on the forthcoming appointment of Patrick Gage (currently syndicate 1301, Chaucer) to write a non-marine book capacity up to £75m at Hardy? Syndicate 382 is only £110m capacity so this seems to represent a major development? It makes me worry a bit about maintenance of the Hardy culture. Anyone know anything about syndicate 1301's record? | charlie | |
