BG Group Share Discussion Threads

Got £10 written all over it again.
The problem is the divi is really skinny compared to the likes of BP and Shell so the share price does not get support from that.

[u813061] 27/1/2014 08:46

This has been known about for a long time. BG should have come clean earlier.

[philo124] 27/1/2014 08:14

So much for the chart at £13.50.

[philo124] 27/1/2014 08:14

£11.

[philo124] 27/1/2014 07:42

It's going down the Toilet.

[bigbertie] 21/1/2014 13:46

what does that MACD chart tell us? it looks like it's going to start a down wave??

[philo124] 15/1/2014 19:54

Must be 2015 forecasts which look pretty good.

[philo124] 15/1/2014 19:52

In know that feeling!

[philo124] 13/1/2014 16:34

£14 tops imo in the near term.

Potential upside with earnings growth. Using a P/E of 18 (average from 2009-2011)
would give a one year target of 1500p and a 31-Dec-15 target of 1931p.

Any strong views on bg share price going forward. Held from 1040p but not sure of the upside from here.

[mechanical trader] 31/12/2013 09:54

BG. Looks like an interesting short to med term trading opportunity arising here. Anyone for 1350p in the rising trend channel. This coincides with last years resistance.

[ddahj] 31/10/2013 07:31

Cash generated by operations decreased 25% to $2 036 million as a result of reduced operating profits and a higher working capital cash outflow, including an increase in LNG and oil cargoes in transit and higher receivables in Egypt. Working capital in the third quarter of 2012 also benefitted from higher margin inflows in relation to the Group's hedged LNG contracts.

[hjs] 31/10/2013 07:24

Down trend today. Might fall below 1200p.

[ddahj] 15/10/2013 08:57

BG. is investing on the Brazilian oil fields and Australian gas project just when there are difficulties with payment from Egypt, (15% of earnings). It has been a great investment since 2003 but I only see a cyclical downturn so I am selling. This an excellent quality company favoured in the city hence the high price, lets see what happens with results on 31 October.

[philo124] 08/10/2013 06:57

Fairenoughski.

[losos] 07/10/2013 17:18

yep, after having held these for many years my needs are now for income stocks and I don't think BG. falls into this category.

They are undoubtedly a well run company, and they undoubtedly have a good spread of projects in many parts of the globe, but it seems they are telling us that the next few years will be 'steady' rather than 'spectacular'

Best of luck to all who continue to hold.

BG has growth potential on a long term basis 3-4 years. Short term IMHO, the share price will come down to 11.50 before it picks up when bargain hunters come in.

I cannot see this going any higher than 12.50 on medium term.

[9degrees] 09/9/2013 12:12

me too sold up .there is Syria and whole of crisis in middle east .

[dr biotech] 09/9/2013 09:51

Well I have sold up this morning. I don't foresee a quick recovery in prices in the US and Egypt will be an issue for a number of years. More of a concern to me is that they also seem to be developing a tendency to warn on production. I feel there are better opportunities out there. Good luck to all that remain.

[the juggler] 09/9/2013 09:20

Hanging on here too. Hope lots of people see this as a an investment opportunity and pile in. Still down over 4% at the moment. I am hoping this will narrow as sense prevails, ever the optimist.
