Yes - totally unloved! |
Wilm - With a little bit of patience and a fair wind, any interested party will be able to acquire this a lot cheaper - Just look at the share price performance over the past couple of days with a rising tide - This remains sullenly stuck in the mud. Just imagine what it'll do when there is the inevitable sharp Market correction!
The jewel is II, the rest of the business is just mediocrity.

RBC see to have got that wrong..

*RBC CUTS ABRDN PRICE TARGET TO 130 (145) PENCE - 'UNDERPERFORM' |
We can but hope Roge! spud |
A better day, and whilst there is no obvious room for sentiment- rate cuts at out-of-limits inflation, lets hope there is more to come. |
Thanks Rongetsrich, appreciated |
Thanks CWA1:
Buybacks look at it this way...
The FTSE needs to "downsize" as many funds have left the UK and gone to US tech companies.
This means the FTSE has two options:
1. Let the price fall loads and loads (as the shorters appear to be calling for).
2. Buybacks - still falls but more controlled - and some even rise.
Being anti-buyback is probably a disguise phrase for shorters.... |
Please keep it ON topic and no personal comments please
This obviously applies to everyone.
Thanks |
I do hold, not big numbers, but enough to justify at this shaky dividend rate. If the company isn’t making enough money, which seems the case, then they either borrow at high rates to pay it, or reduce it.
They would, in my opinion, not risk more city wrath by borrowing even more, so the divi amount would be a city
I trust the edited version fits, I have little faith in the share direction, and neither does the city, it seems. |
Shorters in a bit of a fluster 😀😀😀 |
Ron, he's expecting a dividend increase of 5%, you have found a fool within an investors club. Do you hold here? |
"Lamenting"?
Nonsense.
Google has the dividend yield at 10.87% (slightly less than Phoenix but still very good)
Share price now rising.
What is not to like. |
Joshuam perhaps she was lost! |
Stop responding to net, get with the program and filter the goon like most of us.
So, ABDN are dead in the water, when is the low bid coming to cherry pick the better parts of the failed business.
Lots here lamenting about the juicy dividend, but what next if there’s a 40 per cent reduction? Still a good buy, or perhaps time to accept that low bid? |

For most people quote marks could mean speech, quoting, or sarcasm - take the meaning that fits best. 😀😀😀
The fires in LA apparently are affecting the insurance market.... Not sure if LLoyds of London or any of our insurers are affected. |
Reeves mentioned Aberdeen in her latest visit to china |
netcurtains You put and I quote
"Fenners: 4 people is hardly "most people" " with you putting "most people" in quotation marks as if to
quote me.
So where is that quote from ?
Or do you just make stuff up..as I actually put "its bleeding obvious to a lot of us " |
I'd suggest we are already in t/o territory spud, a market cap of £2.3b, over £500b in assets under management, share price at historic lows and a weak pound. I've been adding to my positions within the sector as M&A activity looks a distinct possibility.
wllm :) |
Sub £1 and were into t/o territory imo - Time to put this donkey out of its misery.
Problem is, we'd probably only receive circa 150p....

Totally missing the point. Saying ABDN wasted £1 Billion on BBs is factual and nothing to do wit being anti buybacks. Had funds under management and profits been increasing or set to rise, whilst making timely purchases at good prices, BBs would have been beneficial. |
Fenners: 4 people is hardly "most people" - being anti-buyback is like being an anti-vaxxer.... Its against the opinion of experts...
Clearly Buy Backs - almost by definition, have advantages... |
Yeah, I think they're immortalised (Butler et al) in the header for all of time! spud |
2wild > "Talk about stating the bleeding obvious"
and netcurtains comment counters that point for me.
I was going to add something like - although its bleeding obvious to a lot of us , there are loads out there who are utterly convinced by buybacks , all bb and no amount of wasted money will change their minds ! |
Not at all.. Buy Backs allow companies to keep or give bigger dividends and during a bull run they help the share price rise faster..
On the downside BBs do increase a shares volatility both upwards and downwards. |
