Yes - very strange price action

Is it me or does this look ridiculously overdone? The financials look ok.

Is DTY an AIM BPR/IHT avoidance stock? If so there may be nervousness ahead of tomorrow's Budget?Also......Arranged a funeral with DTY last month; absolutely faultless and thoughtful too.

Last week I attended a funeral organised by Dty.
You could not fault their professionalism.

Seems a strange adjustment. Was it ahead of itself? I guess a P/E of 16 sounds about right based on just a 1% increase in deaths. Need a few more to pop their clogs!!!

[gripfit] 17/11/2017 19:31

to be fair ,,,,,this is long overdue imho , the trade needs its 'wings clipping'.

[gripfit] 17/11/2017 19:14

all I can say , is , don't defy the mkt, they know more than us

[mozy123] 16/11/2017 15:06

James - got a axe to grind? - did dignity refuse to go on your platform?

Looks good by the way! How many people are booking funerals using compare sites?

Clear break through support makes it bearish.

I have kept in touch with this thread after we published our report in September - hxxps://funeralbooker.com/blog/dignity-report/

I am not saying the drop is down to the publication of our report but I do believe our thesis is supported by management's guidance on "significant competition". I believe our report was discussed on the update call as well but I have not seen a transcript yet.

[mozy123] 16/11/2017 09:13

Took some more at £20. No sure I can see a reason for such a drop.

[tdog1975] 13/11/2017 13:12

Mozy, where you thinking, I am thinking about 2200

[mozy123] 13/11/2017 13:00

Same - over reaction to a solid update.

[tdog1975] 13/11/2017 10:17

My finger is on the trigger to buy some more

Maybe a robot?

Iamnotanumber why don't you just admit you are not invested here or in any other stock fella? Waltermitty comes to mind! For a start you don't have the intelligence to have money to make any investments!

[iamnotanumber6] 25/9/2017 12:04

Poor old unreal, it must really irk you that others make money in profitable dividend-paying companies while you scrabble around losing money trying to get rich quick in penny oil shares - you really ought to stick to scratch cards.....

[therealdeal5] 22/9/2017 17:32

Iamnotanumber looks at what is doing well then posts on those boards, he holds no shares in the companies he posts on! 👍

Hi Harold, price and quality are now fairly uncorrelated in the funeral world IMO.

Yes, for Levertons the professional services fee of £1,560 includes: Our professional attention throughout the arrangements, including local removal of deceased in office hours, use of private mortuary and Chapel of Rest, care of the deceased, administration, bearers and funeral director’s attendance (in hours) at the funeral.

For Dignity you have to add three separate fees: "Our service to you" £1565, "Our service to the person who died" £1005 and "Your appointed funeral director" £715 to get to the same professional services provision as Levertons.

Fun fact as well. Dignity's "Your appointed funeral director" didn't exist last year it had always been part of "Our service to you". My assumption is it is now split out as an "our service to you" fee of £2,200+ was optically too high. Better to have a multitude of smaller charges that are all necessary.

[haroldthegreat] 21/9/2017 20:03

James you add 4 figures for levertons but 6 for dignity in your calculation. What are the extra 2 figures for that are not in the levertons calculation ?

[haroldthegreat] 21/9/2017 19:47

I am very surprised that levertons were less expensive than dignity. With their royal connection I was expecting the opposite.
With the vicious flu strain on route from down under no doubt their turnover will Increase over the winter period despite this adverse publicity.

[che7win] 20/9/2017 14:19

James's, I guess you are happy to permanently alienate Dignity, so you never expect the second biggest funeral director to be part of your initiative?A big decision.
