I think the dividend is higher than 2 percent, no.

Bit of kitchen sinking by the new man?

Should be watching in a couple of weeks!

"On 6 August 2015 the Group will announce Interim Results for the half year to 30 June 2015 and Chris Weston, CEO, will outline the Group's business priorities together with the actions being taking to position the Group for future growth."

Reading todays RNS this has a feel of the first of several profit warnings.....might be a short term speculative bounce but doesnt sound good longer term

It used to be a growth stock but it been struggling for the last couple of years. I sold out a few months ago at the 1700p recent peak and have been looking to buy back in below 1400p. However with today's results I wouldn't touch it until some signs of a turnaround.

Every time I looked at AGK in the past I could never understand the valuation metrics. It was valued like a high growth company but it was hardly growing at all and the divi was negligible.
Even after the share price halving over the last 3 years the divi is still under 2%.

Not speedy hire then!

Still weak here then

British gas I think...

Boring one probably has a buyer lined up already, Ashtead or speedy hire? Remind where the new CEO is from again, sse?

[zcaprd7] 22/6/2015 19:50

One for dividends and one for growth. Interesting volume on Friday as well... Very interesting

[bountyhunter] 22/6/2015 13:54

Yes that's what struck me as well.

Aggreko Rental Solutions and Aggreko Power Solutions

... although the dividing line could be a little grey in places?

Aggreko Rental Solutions will incorporate our Local businesses in developed markets. Aggreko Power Solutions will include our existing Power Projects business and our Local businesses in developing markets.

[zcaprd7] 22/6/2015 12:39

Hmm, interesting, looks like a potential demerger situation. Grow bit and boring bit?

[zcaprd7] 12/6/2015 14:37

Not looking good. £14 for another top up...

[zcaprd7] 05/6/2015 19:03

Topped up today

[zcaprd7] 04/6/2015 16:54

Looks like they dropped out of the ftse100. Very weak recently...

[zcaprd7] 07/4/2015 09:55

Lots of temporary power units floating around Holborn...

Dividend Cover of 3. On oil:Group wide, we have seen little impact from the lower oil price to date, however we continue to assess developments closely. For some markets the lower oil price may stimulate demand, but on balance we anticipate that it could be a headwind later in the year, as could continued security challenges in a number of our markets, in particular Libya.

[zcaprd7] 05/3/2015 18:06

Results billed as flat. But dividend up and beat the consensus. Big volume today, hopefully it will draft upwards again?

[bountyhunter] 05/3/2015 10:29

header updated with final dividend info announced today

[tompion] 26/2/2015 14:05

Sold today after breached my 1724p limit sell order. Been going well recently and only sold as in my view will get hammered if results next week don't impress. Brokers still seem negative and shorters still there. I suspect results will be ok and share price will continue up but not taking the risk of disappointment. Good luck to all.

[gucci] 24/2/2015 09:27

lets hope it breaksout this time

[zcaprd7] 19/2/2015 12:06

I guess £18 is a major resistance?
