Admiral Share Discussion Threads

[thewheeliedealer] 04/1/2021 23:33

Hi all, My mate Peter @Conkers3 and myself did a ‘Twin Petes Investing’ Podcast a few days ago and part of our discussion includes ADM. We also chatted about loads of other Stocks and Ideas for research and a fair bit of educational stuff with regards to Investing and Portfolio Management. Anyway, if you use Youtube, Apple, Audioboom, Overcast or Spotify you can find it under the 'Conkers Corner' Channel (you want Podcast TPI 39) and you can find it on Soundcloud at the link below. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful, we try to keep them light and they are totally unscripted, not like all the stuffy financial fodder you are probably more used to !! Happy New Lockdown !!

Outstanding stock and has been for many many years. Quietly chugs along and the quiet BB is an additional positive so i'm gonna shut up now and finish my tea.

Carnage and wailing and gnashing of teeth all around. And then there's this - steady, growing, FTSE 100 dividend payer. And no comment since early September. You do wonder sometimes, you really do.

[ygor705] 09/9/2020 17:23

Bought some more of these just after they went xd. The solid yield will probably provide steady support as the year wears on and Covid continues to cause dividend uncertainty.

[undervaluedassets] 03/9/2020 07:23

XD today. Those looking for sustainable yield will surely end up here one would think Car insurance will continue to be paid COVID or no..

Hi all, My mate Peter @Conkers3 and myself did a ‘Twin Petes Investing’ Podcast a few days ago and part of our discussion covers ADM. We also chatted about loads of other Stocks and we managed to include a lot of educational stuff in this one – things like how much Research you need to do and what to consider regarding Retirement.

Ah yes. That too... They're still that sort of 'storytelling' narrative in their blurb, as if writing for dramatic impact and reader engagement. Must be a Welsh thing... "A year ago I described our results as 'frankly a bit dull'. With the benefit of hindsight there's a lot to be said for 'dull' if the alternative is a global pandemic. "

[penycae] 12/8/2020 12:45

Welsh.....

[imastu pidgitaswell] 12/8/2020 07:32

Yes - not too many FTSE 100 businesses that are largely unaffected by the pandemic - just keeps on doing what it does, very well. Both an investor and a customer here. We're running at a rate of about 10 posts a year - think of the wasted effort on everything else that just goes down...

Some very good numbers from Admiral this morning with a big increase in the annual dividend and confirmation that the special dividend will be paid. Looks pretty good in comparison with many other announcements being made to the market of late.

Can't disagree, lol

[ignoble] 22/4/2020 05:55

Having said that, doubt if I have driven 100 miles in the last weeks...

[ignoble] 22/4/2020 05:54

Thought that counts.... Ruddy good P. R. I am with Admiral so thank you very much

[imastu pidgitaswell] 21/4/2020 13:19

Sharing the love (and a tiny amount of the extra profits...) hxxps://www.admiral.com/stayathome Bit of a giveaway (boosh!) that they're making an awful lot of money

[pj84] 10/4/2020 14:08

The market seems to agree with your thoughts as Adm seem to have held up very well during the market downturn so far.

Possible virus-related upside for pure motor insurers? • less economic activity, fewer vehicles on the road; • increased voluntary or compulsory self-isolation, fewer vehicles on the road; • increased online shopping: one van tootling about rather than a dozen cars. (Just a naive thought: I hold SBRE.)

Numis downgrades Admiral on short-term risk - HTTPS://citywire.co.uk/funds-insider/news/the-expert-view-lloyds-smith-and-nephew-and-admiral/a1325963#i=4 Numis has downgraded insurer Admiral (ADM) as it continues to feel the impact of claims inflation and there are further headwinds to come. Analyst Nick Johnson downgraded his recommendation from ‘add’ to ‘hold’ with a target price of £21.60 on the shares, which dipped 21p to £22.98. The insurer used its recent trading update to flag the continued impact of higher UK motor claims inflation last year. ‘Although this is completely obfuscated by exceptional back-book profits in full-year 2019 earnings, further front book margin compression has an impact on underlying profitability and extends outwards the likely headwind from reducing profit commission earnings in the coming years,’ he said. Johnson added that the ‘balance of risk has tipped towards the downside in the short term’.

Always keep my eye on ADM but don't hold. Sure I should! Anyway, holders may be interested in this article from page 48 onwards: Https://masterinvestor.co.uk/magazine/?utm_source=Weekly+News&utm_campaign=a0938bd3e0-MI_Magazine_Alert_January_2020_WN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6383de1f13-a0938bd3e0-48630585#

Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2019 - HTTPS://www.investegate.co.uk/admiral-group-plc--adm-/gnw/admiral-group-plc-results-for-the-six-months-ended-30-june-2019/20190814070000H7123/ Admiral not living up to valuation, says Shore Capital - HTTPS://citywire.co.uk/funds-insider/news/the-expert-view-sports-direct-balfour-beatty-and-admiral/a1259587#i=4 Insurer Admiral (ADML) is priced for ‘significant growth’ but this is not reflected in its outlook, says Shore Capital. Analyst Paul De’Ath retained his ‘sell’ recommendation on the stock despite ‘excellent headline profits’ in its first-half results. The shares rose 3.8% to £21.10 yesterday. ‘Admiral has long traded on a premium to the rest of the UK non-life insurers, but we believe that this is not reflective of the actual outlook,’ he said. ‘The business remains fundamentally a UK motor insurer where Admiral is now a mature incumbent rather than a fast-growth challenger… Admiral remains priced for significant growth but this does not reflect the medium-term outlook.’

so are we expecting good results or not from this one?
