I am wondering if any of you Anoraks have any serious money invested in this stock ? The fundamentals are monumental and you could post every day about million dollar signed deals none of which appear to have any bearing on the share price or equity valuation.

Is there anybody out there who can offer a TA point of view - where do you see support for this stock ??

Chief BIf Trump forces Ukraine to accept a bad settlement that will be seen as rewarding Putin's aggression and emboldening him to further acts of aggression elsewhere. The obvious reaction to that situation will be for Nato countries to increase their military expenditure. And of course Trump will in any case pressure them to do so. That augurs well for BA.

...He added the Citywire Elite Companies AAA-rated defence contractor to his £276m Henderson High Income (HHI) investment trust...

High Income IT? The 24 and forecast divis for BA. are 32.33p and 35.30p. So at 1,290p the forward yields are 2.5% and 2.7%. Both well below the FTSE100 levels so I don't see how the share could fit with a High Income strategy.

The jump in the share price is due to the market's perception that war may break out just about everywhere post-Trump re-election.

Article concludes: -

"Despite its improving financial performance, the company’s rising share price means it now trades on a relatively lofty price-to-earnings ratio of 20.8. Its bottom line, though, is expected to rise by around 11pc per annum over the next two financial years. This helps to justify its rich market valuation and suggests that further capital growth lies ahead.

Unfortunately, BAE has not been a member of Questor’s wealth preserver portfolio until now. We have excess cash available following recent sales, which will be partly used to fund the stock’s inclusion in our portfolio.

Although the company’s share price has risen significantly since our initial tip, its solid financial position, vastly improved operating outlook and sound strategy mean it continues to merit purchase on a long-term view.

Questor says: Buy

Ticker: BA

Hmm, here's a conundrum. BA. share price currently sat at 1270, Carnival (CCL) also sitting @ 1270. Which one to choose? Other than the div CCL also offers more stockholder "perks".

I've made a rare trade in my income port. Sold about 21% of my BA. holding and reinvested this in HSBA.

Two reasons. BA. yield has become very low due to its large price rise over recent times running way ahead of divi increases and also, it had become seriously overweight in my port which increases risk. These trades move both these shares to average capital value in the port and equally or more importantly, deliver a substantial boost to income as HSBA yield is very much higher than BA..

I'm only in shares at all for the income, using a diversified port, having little interest in capital fluctuations in most cases. So I don't normally rebalance but there arises the very occasional glaring exception as above.

The Words behind Deutsche Bank


BAE Systems PLC (LSE:BA.) received a share price target upgrade by Deutsche Bank analysts on Friday as European defence spending looks to keep growing.

“BAE has more exposure to the Nordic, Baltic and Eastern European states, which are the fastest growing defence markets in Europe,” the bank said in a note.

Given the ongoing war in Ukraine, Deutsche highlighted plans from the likes of Poland, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden to boost defence spending.

“BAE could benefit in two ways, either via direct sales to these countries, or via foreign military sales via the US,” analysts added.

Indeed, Deutsche highlighted a series of high-profile contracts from the US so far this year, including for armoured multi-purpose vehicles, alongside M109A6 and A7 Howitzers.

Demand for military jets, such as the Eurofighter, could also be revived, according to the bank, as orders come through from Middle Eastern nations.

Deutsche lifted BAE’s share price target from 1,290p to 1,440p as a result, anticipating a 12% climb on Thursday’s close.

...Anhar, not disagreeing with as you've no doubt been playing this game far longer than me, but why doesn't it enhance the share price (of any stock doing a bb program). I thought the reasoning was that the same profits will be divided between less shares? ...

The reasoning by small investors who like to believe that BBs push up the price, I think has nothing to do with the long term corporate finance effects of the BB. Their view is that the demand for shares created by the BB must impact the share price positively. That might be the case if a suprise large buyer of shares appeared.

This is wrong and the reason it is wrong is that the suppliers of the demand, (small investors being irrelevant to big caps like BA.) are the institutions who are already aware of the BB because it is annnounced publicly in advance. The price of course is not fixed so it's whatever is available on the day to an inst. that wants to dump shares in BA. It's no suprise.

But as I've said, it's not provable either way, just that my experience with a large number of shares over the years making BBs is that they all react differently, there's no clear positive effect and in practice there are far greater influences on the share price anyway, such as in BA.'s case the obvious one over the last year or so.

My conclusion is that no faith at all can be placed on BBs to prop up a share price or trade successfully on it.
