Looking at the Kirintec acquisition, it has an impressive growth rate in it's filed accounts. Profit doubled last year and trebled the previous year. And it has real products not just laboratory concepts.
No mention of the price paid though. £57m turnover and a £26M profit maybe about £600M? so small beer to BAE.

Orders lower than expected which doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things but that may weigh on the share price today despite all the other positives

Suppose the new Labour Government wanted to pull out of the GCAP project.

1) Could they do that? or are they contractually locked in?

2) How badly might a withdrawal affect the Bae share price? Assuming rational markets of course.

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.

Current share price of over 1200p and the dividend of 30p isn’t inflation beating as the inflation is running over 5% at least! The dividend is only 2.4% if you are buying this over 1200p - you would be better.off investing in Barclays or Lloyd’s or NWG

As ohdear suggests, I think you misunderstand, confusing divi with yield. It is the divi increase of 11.1% that is inflation beating. I agree the yield is low but that's a different matter. As for being better off in other higher yielding shares, I do exactly that with BA. plus many other stocks in a widely diversified and very long term hold income port.

For an income investor it is crucial to diversify imo, to spread the risks. This inevitably means that some shares will be higher yielding than others when held for decades like me. That's not a problem because diversity trumps individual yield so an arms maker like BA. is welcome in my port and I've held it for many years. It's the overall port yield that matters to me.

To add to the above, the Questor article also mentions that there are no signs of the elevated geopolital tensions reducing in the foreseeable future and on the target of Nato countries spending 2% of GDP, 7 countries met the target last year but 11 are expected to achieve that this year.

Also as the GDP of NATO countries increases so does the amount of the 2% target and Questor suggests that as interest rates start to peak around the world any resumption of growth will feed directly into the GDP targets.

So despite the recent share price increases Questor still rates the shares as a buy.

It also mentions investors have to be prepared for share price volatility and today's share price movement is a good illustration of that.

...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.

...as my experience tells me that share price will always test the base after the buy back...

No offence but if you believe that, your experience must be extremely narrow and limited.

As I said earlier BBs have no effect on share prices in most cases, and BA. is not one of the exceptions. It is just naive to attribute any part of the strong price rise over the last year or so in any way to the BB, you cannot reasonably conclude as much from just one company, one data point, where the price has risen and so it might appear that the BBs had some influence. But it's just coincidence, a false correlation.

I could show you shares making BBs where the price fell substantially during the BB concerned. A recent example is Harbour Energy. If I based my opinion on this one share I might conclude that BBs drive prices down!

With long experience of investing over many years and with many of my holdings making BBs, I am quite sure that they make no difference to the share price, though I can see why small investors draw false inferences from selective examples where they appear to stoke a rising price, whilst ignoring those where they did not. I think it's called confirmation bias...

I guess it's not provable either way because you can't know what would have happened to the price in the absence of the BB, but that's my view over many cases.
