Aberdeen Share Discussion Threads

[giltedge1] 16/6/2025 13:39:39

Back on track today, seems buying on dips strategy with 5% short acting as a buy back mechanism. ii update will be interesting if very positive as main profit driver for Aberdeen will put shorters under more pressure.

[netcurtains] 16/6/2025 11:30:36

....so all very interesting

In 10 days time there is an investor teach in on ii which should help convince sceptical minds - and given the history is quite a large number i would suggest

Regarding ABDN I am not sure as to how the share price can progress any further at the moment.

For all the optimism that has been expressed I take the opposite view.

Unless we see an increase in the dividend in the next trading update I fail to see much more potential upside at the moment.

At 200 level the present day yield drops below 7.3% a far cry from the 11.75% that was available for a few short lived but equally nerve wracking days a few months ago.

I think trading volume will continue to drop with the problems that will present.

Better dividend paying shares out there at the moment which is where I will be looking

Has had a good run from its lows but will not be adding at these levels


Good luck everyone

“closed end investments” are investment trusts. They are named "closed end” to differentiate them from unit rusts/OIECs which are “open end” who cope with demand and supply for them by issuing and cancelling units. Investment trusts are often ignored in these lists because they aren’t “proper” companies ie they are pools of money rather than operating businesses

net, I hold TFIF. Bout £5k on 23 May 2023 via my ii SIPP without any problems. Not sold any yet.

Divi's are paid quarterly and the first one I received on 8 Aug 2023 was auto reinvested by ii.

However, the 3rd November 2023 divi. was not auto reinvested. ii explained there were some 'technical difficulties' in reinvesting. Since then I have happily taken the dividends of about £100 a quarter on my 5036 shares and held in my ii SIPP cash balance.

EDIT: Thanks eigthwonder for the explanation. I avoided providing one basically coz I hadn't got a clue. Have now though 👍

Skinny, thanks - as ever. I've cut and pasted your links in 4476 and emailed them to myself. These will be useful for me later in the year when I will have forgotten about this post of yours.

Have a very good weekend Skinny.

[netcurtains] 14/6/2025 10:01:07

Skinny: In my list I ignored "Closed End Investments" as I dont know what they are. How do they differ from an ordinary share?
What does this mean: "Investors who want to sell must do so on the secondary market, where prices are determined by supply and demand."
It all seemed a bit odd to me..
Am I missing a trick?

If you assume the UK stock market recovery has a long way to go one must assume that ABDN must be one of the winners as it has both a big dividend and makes its money by people buying and selling shares - most of them UK based. Its fate is probably closely aligned with rise (or fall) or FTSE.

[jubberjim] 14/6/2025 07:59:21

As I have stated before and elsewhere nothing making any sense FOMO in full swing here there and everywhere.

We still have have just over 6 weeks until results start trickling in and we have some idea of how well the companies are doing but more importantly how the dividends are shaping up.

We have a long hopefully hot(forget about peaceful?)summer ahead of us.

Conflicts breaking out and being stepped up.

Holding onto this one ABDN LGEN LIO and PHNX plus a few in the sock drawer

Looking for yield to go over 9% now before making any further inroads into the remaining funds.

Have a good weekend all

this manipulating game - quoting “ you are in it to win it “ unless one has unlimited funds to average down . With limited fund - one is bound to be sucked in and tie down for years under water and drown. This game is for the RICH and not for the lower working class - same as Horse Racing - only the owners, trainers and jockeys and their friends , romantic partners and mates win , normal punters can only win occasionally in a blue moon and always lose .

[netcurtains] 13/6/2025 11:07:49

bummer..... For many reasons. Summer Sell Off, Iran/Israel and toppy..... On the other hand this has been an odd year.
You have to be in it to win it....

[lord gnome] 13/6/2025 10:51:00

No worries. The financial sector has had a good run recently and was due a bit of profit taking. All that has happened is that world events have provided the excuse to mark the sector down. I very much doubt that anything fundamental has changed.

FWIW :- Deutsche Bank raises Aberdeen Group price target to 210 (195) pence - 'buy'

[mcunliffe1] 10/6/2025 18:58:38

I like ABDN because it is a great divi payer. That said, when I bought into ABDN (again) last year I did so in the expectation of making a quick buck on the rise I expected to occur. The share dropped further so I bought another £5k on 28 Oct 2024.

Then, rather unexpectedly, they went up and up to this point and I'm happy to hold (for that divi) for the foreseeable.

But, if there is a takeover and I cash in at higher than my current 30+% increase the funds will be split between LGEN and PHNX in the main as they are also very good divi. payers.

So, W1LMA, take the profit if one exists and find an alternate home that meets your desires.

Whilst not pushing this I can suggest a look at SDIP. I've had about £5k invested since 6 Nov 2024 and each month I'm paid about $55 into my SIPP. It is paid in US dollars and in a SIPP I lose no tax (yet) charged by the Americans. As ever, DYOR.

[w1lma] 10/6/2025 18:15:02

In case of a takeover, what will happen with shareholders. Is it a positive or negative direction. I have a large volume of shares so it will impact me a great deal.

[curriedquaker] 10/6/2025 17:34:10

JP Morgan “positive catalyst watch” means that they expect a major announcement in the next few months, one of which maybe an aquistion or takeover bid. My money is that we will receive an offer this year, therefore I’m hanging onto my holding. DYOR

[netcurtains] 10/6/2025 13:34:50

ITV now up more than ABDN.... Its a two horse race. Which will be up the most by close.
