Direct Line Insurance Share Discussion Threads

Nothing particularly surprising but a bit of a damp squib all the same. Hopefully the new tech will drive some unbudgeted efficiency through the next 12 months. Insurance is one sector where AI should have a really positive impact on cost reduction. Salty.

Try working for one lol

Nothing in it to set the pulse racing - but that's why I am here. If I wanted excitement I wouldn't be investing in insurance companies.

No issues with the update. Seems robust in the circumstances

Great timing this vaccine news. Will give dlg a nice springboard for what will hopefully be a good update tomorrow, then another spike leading to another easy profit take for jonnybig. Dlg is a great trading share. Bounces nicely in a profitable range.

They have been doing this for months and months. They didn't advertise it that's all

[father jack1] 07/11/2020 14:10

Television advert informing you can apply for a refund for reduced usage. Looks like they caved to the FCA.

Much obliged though, to be honest, I almost always use the skip header tab so didn't really bother me! It just struck me as being rather long and I was confused as to the connection with DLG... Personally I think it looks better after the haircut but don't want to rain on your, or anyone else's, parade-so feel free to populate the charts as you see fit :-)

CWA1 Yes, as Vinceelliott atates, they were a mixture of holdings and shares I was interested in when I started the thread, over 6 years ago. I've tidied it up and just left the FTSE chart showing, if there are any other relevant ones you'd like me to add, just post a message in this thread.

[vinceelliott] 06/11/2020 09:19

Cwa1 - pet shares of thread author.

all of those are great dividend income plays (+ recovery stocks)

Hi Mate,Insurance is cheap.Holding 35% of my P/F in Financials eg AV,DLG,HSBA,LGEN,MNG,PHNX,& SLA.Investor,s taking small profits today.A big mistake atm.

[cwa1] 06/11/2020 08:33

Quick question. Does anyone know why there are quite so many different share charts in the header? Can't quite see the connection to BT.A, VOD, RMG, RR., Talk, etc but I'm possibly missing something?!

[mister md] 06/11/2020 08:22

Hi Garycook Aviva and LGEN up too - excellent stuff

[garycook] 06/11/2020 08:04

Plenty of buyer,s early doors Up 4%

[garycook] 06/11/2020 01:31

With the bid for RSA,then DLG should be well up today.Good buy at 271p P1945.

[porsche1945] 06/11/2020 01:14

@ clock Realist dxxkhead. Rsa being taken out by foreign buyers as sterling so trashed a cheap buy, hopefully this will be next, hoovered some up at 2.71. It is all on on fire-sale in down and out U.K.

[mo123] 03/11/2020 11:46

Berenberg buy, target 356.

[cl0ckw0rk0range] 01/11/2020 22:25

Then you guess wrong, doesn't help being such a pessimist.

[porsche1945] 27/10/2020 09:40

@ clockwork “ fun out the game “, what possible fun is there investing a in 99 pc of U.K. stocks? They have been on a downward trajectory for years, capital destructive dross with declining business models, guessing your investments in the few thousands range rather than hundreds of thousands or you would not be so sanguine.

‘Add’ defensive Direct Line to income portfolio, says Peel Hunt The defensive traits of Direct Line (DLG) will ensure it can deliver an attractive income stream throughout the Covid-19 uncertainty, says Peel Hunt. Analyst Andreas van Embden retained his ‘add’ recommendation and target price of 300p on the shares, which were trading at 281.5p yesterday. ‘Direct Line’s defensive traits, Covid-19 resiliency, and diversified business model will continue to deliver an attractive income stream,’ he said. With an average dividend yield in the past seven years of 7%, the insurer is ‘one of the more consistent and attractive income stocks in the sector’, as well as being ‘well positioned’ ahead of the City regulator’s insurance pricing review, van Embden said.

[cl0ckw0rk0range] 15/10/2020 22:33

Well that's a moot point then isn't it, rather takes the fun out of the game.

[encarter] 14/10/2020 15:44

Yep. Some of that was previously offset by holiday insurance cancellation claims but now that they are covid savvy it won't be an issue for next results. Expect another nice divi.
