Aviva Share Discussion Threads

[cyberbub] 22/8/2024 14:06

Am just looking around for high-income shares for my son's portfolio... Is the yield here still high single figures?Why have there been Form 8.3 declarations for months? They're usually associated with takeovers but I don't think Aviva have announced any approaches?

Well that was 5 quid then...

@adelwire, FWIW the most recent broker comments from the heavy hitter banks who comment regularly are all pretty positive with share price targets in the high 500s.
Eg, RBC 560, UBS 590, BOA 590,JPM 565,Berenberg 584.

There are a couple with lower valuations eg Exane at 420p but they seldom update and have held their underweight at 420 for ages and have not updated their view in some time .They might be right one day of course if there is a market meltdown.

If one looks at the data in "Investing.com" the average rating of 16 analysts is outperform with an average of 537, which presumably includes the bearish Exane.(dragging the average lower)

At some point the FTSE will break out and we could see a swift rise up to the 600p area.

[dope007] 20/8/2024 10:15

Most of the FTSE is a bargain compared to other markets

Dividend covered 1.9 times....plenty of room for growth in it going forward.

[skinny] 19/8/2024 14:52

I assume something like that as the price was well below the current spread at the time - it was the size that surprised me - especially as they total @90% of the daily volume so far.

[lord gnome] 19/8/2024 14:50

Those look like matched trades, Skinny. In and out across the market at an agreed price.

Nice to see daylight above 500p.. some time to go before Ex-divi date 6/9... Sitting and waiting to add here.. GLA

Interesting - I thought the volume was pretty healthy for the time of day, but there are 4 large trades, totalling nearly 10 million.

Aviva is a “secure” investment, having returned over £9bn to shareholders in three years. With £750m in cost savings achieved ahead of schedule, management is raising dividends and embarking on a £300m buyback programme. Analysts have pencilled in a yield of 7.6% and 8.2% for this year and next. The insurer has made strategic divestments. 483p: Shares Magazine.

[skinny] 19/8/2024 09:52

Near 6 year high @504.60p

[adelwire2] 19/8/2024 08:44

Great to see 565 as a target from brokers but share sticks at 5 pound

Also, dare In say, some innocent and healthy profit taking here and there?

[dope007] 16/8/2024 11:42

Strength of the £ is the only sane excuse for traders to be dumping the FTSE
