Does anyone know why these are so cheap?

The short position has been reduced to 5.42% and we're no longer top of the list!



Under "All previous disclosures", if you click on any entry, you are given a list of when they changed their position - so the first entry "Point72 Asset Management, L.P." gives you :-

I ve left sell orders over various holdings
Hope I don t tripmyself up

[netcurtains] 10/2/2023 17:48

you'll be kicking yourself on monday when the FTSE goes up. 😊

All I am saying is that there is no guarantee that the dividend will be paid de facto

Aviva my thoughts well documented
Direct line just recently

Nothing would suprise me which is why when I sold out recently at 215 I as happy to exit with a small loss

But they may come good I merely pointed out that a declared dividend can be rescinded and we are left holding the baby

Ethics is a dirty word in this market

Caveat emptor

Cynicism is my watchword now

Good luck

That dividend is not guaranteed

I am anticipating maybe a bit but better safe than sorry

[netcurtains] 10/2/2023 09:21

Thanks for that.
Did they say why they dont want the dividend?
HSBC only give 3.54%
ABDN give 7% (eg DOUBLE hsbc)

HSBC cut ABDN forecast but raise share price target:-

* Abrdn ABDN.L : HSBC cuts to reduce from hold



* Abrdn ABDN.L : HSBC raises target price to 185p from 175p

skinny > that would be great info thanks

[skinny] 09/2/2023 16:57

Yes, all very strange - I must have a look and see when the shorts were taken out / price etc.

[spud] 09/2/2023 14:59

They have to close eventually and imagine the pop when they do!

[skinny] 09/2/2023 14:02

Or one that tops the shorts list.

[netcurtains] 09/2/2023 09:45

I've looked over this and its quite difficult to find a FTSE100 company with such a good combination of low PE, high DIV yield and chances of recovery than ABDN....

Unless I've missed something....

Netcurtains > Basically BULL RUN = Value of AUM/FEES Increases together like the tide lifts all boats :-)

[netcurtains] 07/2/2023 10:41

With the recent BULL RUN in the market does that mean all ABDNs assets/investments are worth more now?

[jubberjim] 02/2/2023 13:38

Well sold target reached

Stop loss left @ 232

Now big boy pants on

[skinny] 02/2/2023 11:47

Having first bought these last February @242.75p, and averaged down - last purchase @150.85p in July, I'm comfortably in profit and not looking to sell anytime soon.

[chinese investor] 02/2/2023 11:42

My 230p is looking good!

[spud] 02/2/2023 11:38

Not much. I think a few of the Hedgies have gotten themselves into a bit of a hole.

[skinny] 02/2/2023 11:35

These are still the second most shorted stock - what are we missing.

[jubberjim] 02/2/2023 11:32

What's the consensus

Flirting with 215 again my top from previous posts

Been there or thereabouts yesterday and again today

Teetering on the old seesaw

Good luck those bullish staying bearish myself

LONDON, Feb 1 - Abrdn ABDN.L has hired a new
chief investment officer from one of Europe's largest global
pension investors, the company said on Wednesday, as it seeks to
boost returns after a turbulent period.


Peter Branner will join on May 1 from APG Asset Management
and will work on simplifying Abrdn's product range, focusing on
core services and improving investment performance, the company
said.


The company had been without a chief investment officer
since the end of 2021, when Rod Paris left the group.


Asset managers have had to navigate a tough market over the
past year as volatility acclerated by war in Ukraine and rampant
inflation have hit stocks and bonds.


Abrdn said last year it would take longer to grow its
revenues and boost profitability after half-yearly profit missed
expectations, as outflows surged and cautious investors shunned
riskier investments.

I didn't realise we have a couple of gaps to fill. The 1st at 222p and the 2nd at 230p
