Gary C.

The company reports in $ not £.

bigalan,There you go.What a great investment for you.The results were much better than expected.I believe $261M was expected,but got $293M,and the Dividend was also higher than expected.The Special,being 10p,when 8p was expected.Take a look at LRE 677,a better paying Dividend now than BEZ,around 7%.I own both.

Was not expecting that response. Thought results were reasonably good.

I have invested in BEZ for the dividend and slow growth in the share price.

[garycook] 26/1/2017 13:48

Well, Hello another investor in BEZ,amazing.Yes good company.Most investors no need to comment.Yes another TP of 460 from J P Morgan.

The chart looking good to blow through 400p.

To all BEZ shareholders. I have today put a Limit sell order on my holding in BEZ of £5,to stop Shorter,s from loaning the shares from my broker,which they can do for a fee,without me or you knowing about.I suggest you do the same.

[garycook] 27/10/2016 07:06

Correct and LRE.

From BREXIT lows I should add

[badtime] 06/7/2016 14:19

Continuing its bounce

[garycook] 18/5/2016 01:56

Recovering nicely now.I bet some people wish they had purchased at 320 like me.Also LRE recovering in the same sector now.

'If You thought there was a juicy takeover in the offing would you sell 500,000 shares.'


........wasn't expecting an offer come Monday........

I am also watching from the sidelines. I bought Beazley in 2011 at a low ebb in the insurance "cycle", and both the market and the company performed well, and sold in the high 300s. I am hesitant to buy back in at the momnts. The ducks are certainly not all in a line right now...

If You thought there was a juicy takeover in the offing would you sell 500,000 shares.

[soundbuy] 15/4/2016 11:29

Like others, looking to top up but seems no hurry :(

Banks, HBs etc I can understand re brexit woes but here.....?

On my list of 3 takeovers for the 2016 so here's hoping........zzzzzzzz

[schofip] 14/4/2016 20:16

I think the Finance director made the right choice here selling 500,000 shares at £3.52. A good indicator. I reckon if he bought back in now he would have had a nice 5% dividend.
If he thought there was any chance of the shares going up he would not have sold.

[kirkie001] 14/4/2016 09:00

I think Beazley always underperforms from the period of going XD after its year end results through to around its half year results. (That's just my impression - perhaps someone with better skills than me could compare to FTSE350 for March - August for say the last 5 years?)

Anyway, if it gets much lower, I'll be looking to top up for the long term....

[garycook] 14/4/2016 01:53

There should be an Interim Management statement on May 6.The company needs to clarify a few things,seeing the share price is down 16%,from its yearly high of 402,but the FTSE 250 is roughly the same around the 17,000 level.Yes it is a good time to top up.Now yielding around 8%,if the Dividend is maintained at around 28p a share.
