CWA1 I agree and I think MCunliffe1's spellchecker also meant agreeing not Axxeing :)

Let's not do buybacks and DEFINITELY not Br*x*t, thank you very much!

PJ - ABDN has already blown over £1.5 billion on share buybacks! spud

Abdn no more cash and intends to cut the dividend the next time . How to do buyback . Abdn is check mate by its own doing , the last few years more outflow of funds in Abdn .

And yet, with the rise in PHNX today abrdn languish.

I wonder? Could it be the ABDN management are out of favour?


EDIT addition: I couldn't resist; if they had some cash they could have a share BB - might be a better time to buy your own when the shares are low-priced Mr Bird. Perhaps they can sell some of their PHNX holding to fund their BB.

A bit of respite with the rising tide :-

This is not reducing Mr Flint or Mrs Flint CGT but making HMRC richer by 1/2% stamp duty and buying the dealing broker a nice lunch and dinner .

[mcunliffe1] 19/3/2024 14:24

Mr Flint sells 36,500 shares at 139.68p on 15th March.
Mr Flint buys 18,000 shares at 140.63p on 15th March
Mrs Flint buys 18,500 shares at 140.60p on 15th March.

Conclusions:

Mrs Flint is savvy as she buys at less than Mr Flint.
Mr Flint is either confused or seeking to limit his CGT liability. Should have an ISA mate.
The pair between them have not raised their holding - but still hold some - so they have some skin in the game. SkinFlints ;=)

Director Dealings:-







A shuffle to no effect

Testing the all time Low - Good Luck folks

I think if Bruce had shorted the stock rather than shortening the name he would be even richer - a terrible performance

[spud] 18/3/2024 09:41

At what point, assuming that the support line doesn't hold, does the boardroom reshuffle commence I wonder? I've a 100p line in the sand which will trigger a Bird ousting and a bid (although not necessarily in that order). spud

[mcunliffe1] 18/3/2024 09:17

jj: these departures, arrivals and departures again all come at the costs of golden hello's golden goodbye's and golden in-situ salaries. I believe Bird's has taken upward flight from £1.7m to £2.1m just recently.

That share price is getting perilously close to the low point of Oct 2022 when it got to about 133p

[jubberjim] 17/3/2024 20:40

Flint is just as culpable as Bird for this sorry state of affairs
He came in around 5 years ago and since then has presided over a succession of appointments to run the business that have been abject failures.

If Bird is sent packing then Flint should follow

Interesting observation.

[unastubbs] 17/3/2024 12:38

i fear that's the only way i will get my money back on this poor investment of mine mcunliffe.

[mcunliffe1] 17/3/2024 12:29

Maybe Jason has been brought in to break up abrdn.
