12/6/2018 12:50	shard of glass: I've taken a position in Dignity on my portfolio this morning as I see it that it is they that have been campaigning for any enquiry and are happy to share what information they have already collated. Given this I think it has already fallen too far even before today and I also noted a recent Director buy at 1090p. In terms of news there is plenty out there. Office of National Statistics data on death rates is showing deaths for this quarter so far around 3% up on the same period last year and in the quieter summer part of the year as well. That also follows on from a good first quarter with the death rate some 7% higher. hTTp://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/datasets/weeklyprovisionalfiguresondeathsregisteredinenglandandwales Additionally virtually every day you are seeing London in the news headlines for knife crime and with the death rate in London overtaking New York. The associated murder and the death rate in the capital seems at an all time high and these things all factor in and contribute. Just google search London and knife crime. If things continue as they are presently then on the 1st August there may be potential for a significant boost to the share price for on that date you should get the Interim / 6 monthly results to the 29th June reflecting this and also the result of the ongoing pricing review. all imvho, dyor etc Read Full Thread Follow Reply
04/6/2018 10:17	kramch: Did a bit of digging here after the share price fall, high debt which doesn't seem to go down despite headline profits, NAV doesn't go up despite pitiful dividend, where are the profits going? Now enquiry into RIP-off funeral plans. K. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
01/2/2018 09:08	imastu pidgitaswell: Absolutely. Same comment as on the day of the announcement - they are cutting income on their main product by 25%, which will have a percentage larger impact on their net margin (costs remain the same). Even then they will still be more expensive than their competitors, they cannot say what the volumes going forward will be (still lower, at best by less than they would have been had they not cut prices) and they therefore have no guidance. The debt is well chronicled, and is long term. But when looking at the share price, you have to consider the enterprise value, which is the debt added to the market value - this gives the market valuation of the entire business. As the debt is such a large percentage of the enterprise value, fairly small changes in enterprise value (as assessed by the market) are caused by much larger swings in equity value (the share price). I was surprised it was trading as high as 1000p-ish on results day and the next day. Current levels better reflect the value of the equity, but given the utter uncertainty of the forecast, there may be more risk to price in. Read Full Thread Follow Reply

21/1/2018 11:11	eastbourne1982: This sector has become more and more competitive, like most things, prices will only go down over the next few years, Dignity will have to work twice as hard to stand still. The share price may bounce over the next few weeks however there are too many negatives here to justify the risk / rewards of buying these. I appreciate this is hindsight however perhaps the business should have had a rights issue when the share price was £25 to get rid of the debt, that is one of the big issues here and the bosses should have known business was going to get tougher quite a long time ago. Lower prices, lower profits and a big debt pile are a toxic mix. Read Full Thread Follow Reply

19/1/2018 11:01	waldron: Why Dignity plc is a turnaround stock I’d buy after today’s 50% share price crash Peter Stephens \| Friday, 19th January, 2018 \| More on: DTY JE Image source: Getty Images. The share price of funeral-related services specialist Dignity (LSE: DTY) dropped by as much as 50% on Friday after it released a profit warning. A more competitive market outlook means that the company will cut prices for various services, which is expected to cause a fall in profitability over the medium term. As a result, investor sentiment has deteriorated. However, the company could deliver a strong turnaround in the long run. A stable market, strong business model and low valuation could combine to make the stock a worthwhile purchase at the present time. A changing market In the last couple of years, Dignity has faced a more competitive marketplace. With inflation moving higher and now being ahead of wage growth, disposable incomes are falling in real terms. Therefore, it is unsurprising that consumers are seeking to cut costs in order to balance their income and expenditure each month. And while funeral costs are an exceptional item, they are not immune to increasingly price-conscious behaviour. Alongside increasing competition, the company has seen the average reduction in the number of funerals per location running at 6.8% between 2015 and 2017. This is almost twice the rate of 3.6% which was recorded between 2004 and 2014. In response, the company is lowering the cost of some of its services as it seeks to protect its market share. This is expected to lead to substantially lower profits in 2018. Recovery potential The level of profitability that is expected to be recorded in 2018 is unclear. As such, it seems as though investors are pricing-in a wide margin of safety. Dignity now trades on a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 8 using its 2016 earnings figure. While its rating is very likely to rise due to the prospective fall in 2018 earnings, the reality is that the company continues to have a dominant position in the funeral services market. With it offering the scope for further growth in the long term, the stock could prove to be a sound, albeit volatile, turnaround opportunity. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
19/1/2018 08:54	imastu pidgitaswell: Blimey. It's a very highly leveraged business that has just flagged that its operating profits will be slashed by, erm, they don't know. Headline prices cut by 25% (nice round number, is that it? Competitors, local markets, affordability? No, just '25%' as it's a simple number - are they amateurs?) Net debt of between £550m and £600m, albeit long term, with a (last time out) operating cashflow of £81m - to be reduced by whatever the impact of the pricing strategy change is. Likely to be at least 40%, as the operating model when you slash headline income by 25% will result in much larger hit to income after costs. And frankly their prices are still considerably higher than their competitors - no reason to believe they will increase volumes, they are more likely to continue losing volumes, albeit maybe by less. 50% off the share price is perfectly sensible as a reaction - I might have expected more. Just looking back up the thread - well done James, not just with the forecast of the fall, but for the right reasons. Also enjoyed the analyst forecast a couple of months ago (in 1187) - I always love an analyst talking drivel... Read Full Thread Follow Reply

20/9/2017 00:27	iamnotanumber6: I hold here, albeit I have been reducing as it's my biggest holding. It's an interesting report, but here are the points it raises with me: 1. I have absolutely no problem with the lack of branding - to me it's a strength, as why change the goodwill of a trusted local brand? Besides, it's quite clearly spelt out in the brochure you reproduced that the individual undertaker is part of a company. 2. Is the cost of a funeral really a priority when one has lost a loved one? It's one thing settling down in front of a computer with a coffee to pore over the cheapest holidays, but surely you don't act the same when sorting out a funeral? 3. Why is raising prices over a period so terrible? It's not as if they are a monopoly (like for example many rail companies over a particular route). Surely the mark of a good company is maximising its income by raising its prices to the most the market can bear? 4. But the real question I have is why are you putting out negative research on a quoted rival? OK, you admit you are shorting the stock, but it does seem an odd thing to do, or are you simply trying to move the DTY price in your favour? Do your shareholders know that you are gambling some of their funds on a derivative trade? And why aren't you letting your business speak for itself, rather than indulging in what some might call dirty tricks? Indeed, some prospective customers might be put off by a firm which concentrates on derivative trading and share research rather than what it's supposed to be offering? Read Full Thread Follow Reply
