Dignity Share Discussion Threads

More likely people who did not go to doctor during the pandemic and did not present for early diagnosis. I know of 3 people who left their cancers late to diagnose! I had to demand a bunch of screens that were due to me and got them because I was puchy, which many people are not.

In this paper, we call attention to three very important aspects of the safety profile of these vaccinations. First is the extensively documented subversion of innate immunity, primarily via suppression of IFN-α and its associated signaling cascade. This suppression will have a wide range of consequences, not the least of which include the reactivation of latent viral infections and the reduced ability to effectively combat future infections. Second is the dysregulation of the system for both preventing and detecting genetically driven malignant transformation within cells and the consequent potential for vaccination to promote those transformations. Third, mRNA vaccination potentially disrupts intracellular communication carried out by exosomes, and induces cells taking up spike glycoprotein mRNA to produce high levels of spike-glycoprotein-carrying exosomes, with potentially serious inflammatory consequences. Should any of these potentials be fully realized, the impact on billions of people around the world could be enormous and could contribute to both the short-term and long-term disease burden our health care system faces.

Another week of above 5 yr av death rate - +1,444/+15.4%. Although great for DTY, why are no journalists asking why the death rate has been +9% above a 5 yr av that is already inflated by Covid.

So, the previous management that ran this business with a spreadsheet to play the private/public arb (buy a co with a p/e of 5 to get a p/e of 20+ from the market was unsustainable), and then eased up prices the whole time while scaling back investment in the estate and other assets. This attracted more competition and the ire of the regulators.

Then layer on top of that the Ponzi scheme of the Prepaid funeral business which bought growth (via paying non-sensically and uneconomic high commissions to middlemen) and which the previous CFO dipped into to boost the numbers. Channon has stopped all of this and prevented an almost certain bankruptcy.

Moreover, Channon has bought 30% of the company, unlike the previous management who used this business as a piggy bank to get rich quickly.

I can only assume that Channonout is one of the following: Wiley, previous executives, or fronts for them.

I have questions about the management style but the intentions are honest and the new CEO will make a difference. The next step is to find a permanent CFO.

Channon's gone but still pulling the strings behind the scenes, his toxic management succesfully tanking the sahre price. The puppet team left in place won't make a difference. Phoenix out!

Tip of the iceberg. Me thinks it's a slow burner. All things become self evident.

[linton5] 24/6/2022 11:08

Lol you can’t buy any

VT - An elevated death rate 'should' feed through and lead to an elevated share price for the market leader.....in theory.

IY - I don't see an explosion as such rather a continued heavy stream of unexpected serious illneses in the most unexpected candidates. Obviously far more noticable in the young and previously fit.

1,753 + (71.5%) above the 5 yr av for week ending 10th June. It was minus 1,261 (-15.6%) the week before. Since mid-March, the death rate has been below the 5-year av on 2 occasions. Total deaths YTD slightly above the 257,218 which +82 above the 5 yr av.

Not really going to get involved in a discussion of the causes but the recent trend indicates an elevated death rate.

Vaccine deaths is a ticking time bomb that is going to explode.

[che7win] 14/6/2022 12:24

Hardly anyone doing tests any more, can't prove they're non covid at this stage.

What's behind the 5,000 Non- Covid Excess Deaths in the Last Five Weeks?

New official data from the ONS released today add a further 730 non-Covid excess deaths in England and Wales to the total of the last five weeks, bringing the figure to 4,964. This means nearly 5,000 more people than usual have died in England and Wales in the last five weeks of causes other than COVID-19.

[velocytongo] 09/6/2022 12:26

Interesting to see what they say at the AGM today.

Death rate continues to be elevated. In England and Wales since the beginning of April the rate has been the following versus the 5 yr av:

Apr 1 +1.7%%
Apr 8 +3.6%
Apr 15 - 6.3%
Apr 22 +5.1%
Apr 29 +21%
May 6 +4.7%
May 13 +22.4%
May 20 + 14.0%
May 27 + 10.1%

The elevated death rate in the last weeks means that the total death YTD is 238,651 versus 239,061 if the rate had followed the 5-year av, which is already higher due to the pandemic.

ONS is calculating the current 5 yr av using 2016, 17, 18, 19 and 21. The effect is to raise the 5 yr av by 6.3%.

Like Dignity is in the UK, Service Corp is the largest funeral and cremation services company in the US. Note how both shares were pretty much joined at the hip until 2017/2018.

Could they meet up again? I think possible, especially given the UK's acm stats coming through but obviously reliant on the management getting their act together.

[velocytongo] 31/5/2022 12:36

In the last 4 weeks, the death rate has been 16% above the 5 yr av.

Keeping an eye on the death rate. YTD act deaths only 1.3% below the 5 year av. and DTY have started taking market share with the price reset.

[km18] 16/5/2022 15:37

Dignity plc is segmented into sub-divisions providing funeral services in the UK. The firm has established a long-term solution for the capital structure, in hopes of boosting profits. This initiative was incorporated into the firm’s EV/EBITDA of 15.11x, which is above its peers and thereby capturing intrinsic value. Consequently, it implies that the group’s financial position has continued to strengthen with P/FCF reaching 172.6x.

The number of deaths registered in the UK in the week ending 29 April 2022 (Week 17) was 14,062, which was 20.5% above the five-year average (2,396 excess deaths); of these deaths, 1,247 involved COVID-19, which was 62 more than in Week 16.

Act 10,687

Death rate staying at or above 5 yr av

[tombomb] 12/4/2022 13:24

The volume decline from the death rate - at 12% market share is insignificant - their problem is they are continuing to lose market share - let alone gain it.

[velocytongo] 12/4/2022 12:54

The company can not afford a margin hit and volume decline at the same time.

[velocytongo] 12/4/2022 12:47

Because if the death rate falls off a cliff, as it was doing 6 weeks ago, DTY are in deep sh1t. The low pricing strategy to take market share will take time and dent profits in the short term, that's why the death rate needs to stay at nr 5 yr av to prevent a major covenant breach.

[tombomb] 12/4/2022 12:36

No idea - why you keep posting death rate. The small volumes that this will fluctuate by (that is across the whole country and all Funeral Directors) will have no bearing on DTY performance - despite what may have been said. The only way to grow is by winning share off competitors not relying on market changes.

1 Apr 2022
