04/10/2019 12:18	fllegend: Re. differential between Admiral and DLG share price hit - Admiral has a much smaller home insurance portfolio than DLG. The FCA has identified that big profit margins and hiking prices on renewal is much worse in home than motor, so the negative impact on margins will likely be much bigger in home market than motor.

22/8/2019 21:07	fllegend: City analysts and investors have a pretty poor understanding of how insurance businesses work. The share price rises whenever average motor insurance price rises is a perfect example of this. It doesn't take a genius to see premium prices could rise 5% but if claim costs rise 10% the bottom line profitability is gonna be hit. The real number to look for is the COR or Combined Operating Ratio, which is the ratio of all the costs (claims, expenses, commission etc) against gross written premiums. On that measure DLG compares pretty favourably with the cohort, having never exceeded 100% in the recent past. What's more, the latest H1 2019 results showed that the company is accumulating capital to prepare for Brexit, and is now at the very top end of what the regulators recommend for the Solvency Capital Requirement. In essence the company has a massive cash pile, is still growing its own brand policies, and have some very well established brands. Read Full Thread Follow Reply

13/12/2018 09:18	carer: I always thought insurance companies are cash cows which pay out dividends. At such low share price, it looks very attractive to invest some money in. Of course , insurance is for the unexpected events, sometime you pay out, some time you do not. let us hope the worst is over and better times ahead with better strategy whcih I gusee the company management will have to think about, otherwise what do they get paid for?

13/6/2018 07:56	sufc555: Moreover the suggestion of depressed shareprice due ‘increasing competitive pressures’ is made without evidence. There is no suggestion that the market is anymore competitive than it was 12 months ago when the shareprice was £4. More likely the following reasons for depressed price-: - negative outlook for all U.K. facing stock due to Brexit - post ex divi pre 1.8.18 - manipulation of share price pre next divi by insitituions - worries of soft motor pricing ahead of the discount rate /whiplash reforms being implemented - risk of not being put in place /delayed - a belief that the current divi is unsustainable Read Full Thread Follow Reply
28/3/2018 10:03	cwa1: OK, for the record, I've just had a few at 368.... XD on 5/4/18 for 28.6p. IF-and it is clearly a HUGE hostage to fortune-IF the brokers are correct in their consensus dividends for years ending 2018 and 2019 we should get in the region of 29p in each year. So taken together we should receive approximately 87p in dividends in just over 2 year's time. That's a whopping 24% of the current share price in that period alone. Before anyone says it; I know these forecasts may turn out to be worth less than the electrons they are committed to and that, all other things being equal, the share price should decrease by the value of the dividends BUT it is till a prodigiously high return If it comes to pass. Fingers crossed and all that...... Read Full Thread Follow Reply
