Anyone heard how the Blackrock investment and bulk buys of DLG have gone? Plus why the drop over last 3 days?

Shaun, how you gettin on with these?

[lord gnome] 03/5/2019 12:25

UBS has cut from Buy to Neutral. Can't see how that has caused the fall today, but probably added a bit to downward momentum.?

Pick up more shares from dividend.

The rapid rate of decline is concerning, but I doubt we will get quite that low, joshuam. We seem to have already entered the summer doldrums. Perhaps we should have sold in April this year and not waited for May.

Heading for sub 300

03 May Direct Line Insurance Group PLC UBS Buy 300.20 390.00 - Reiterates

[hodhasharon] 05/4/2019 13:13

Buy at 328p

Quite Shauney^, it's gone X/D so it drops by the value of that div. Any variance from today's -22.3p/div is the actual net move in the company's worth today. In fact it's +2.9p (net) today.

[shauney2] 04/4/2019 11:54

How is that gut wrenching? You know its going to drop 20 to 30p You said the same thing about PHNX and thats alread recovered most of the divi drop.

[porsche1945] 04/4/2019 10:02

usual gut wrenching post divi drop, a better trading share, just gets decimated after div

[saltaire111] 04/4/2019 09:46

Phew.
Thanks.

[cwa1] 04/4/2019 09:18

[saltaire111] 04/4/2019 09:12

Wtf? What happened?

[wolansm] 02/4/2019 13:01

Black rock divi will be woww

[jrphoenixw2] 02/4/2019 11:52

@sufc - Googling that gives me 26/Mar/19 'BlackRock raises stake in Direct Line Group'

Summary: 5.08% > 10.13%



1.375Bn Shares in Issue [DLG website] *10.13% = approx 139 million.
139Mn * say 356p = approx £495 million.

Wow.

Blackrock - American investor fund takes 500m long position as takeover rumours swirl

[micos] 30/3/2019 06:37

Rik Shaw,

I am much obliged.

[micos] 29/3/2019 15:25

Can anyone out there help me to access investor information for DLG. Their site is most unhelpful

[wolansm] 13/3/2019 11:15

After yesterday debacle, DLG are right to hold some cash back, perhaps after the uncertainty and illogical demands by out of touch people, ie our members of parliament we could eventually see the cash distributed via interim divi or other
