Dods Share Discussion Threads

Further to the above, holders via HL appear not to have 'lost' any shares apart from any final fraction as a result of the consolidation and split. My holding on an exact calculation (i.e.permitting a fractional consolidated share) ended up having to discard 2/7 of a new share, worth about 20p.

THe effect seems to be different for beneficial owners of a nominee holding than for individual holders, as the nominee will only lose a maximum of one consolidated share, ie approx. £90 between all its beneficiaries, whereas an individual can lose the whole £90, albeit with cash compensation if the fractional value is above £5. Have I understood correctly?

exactly my point

Share consolidations usually spell disaster for the PI with significant loss of value. Good to see this dog turn around in H2 however the consolidation is a sickener.

We can but hope spot, we can but hope !

The change of name is the key here which I think might have been a good idea at the time Dods acquired Merit, but hopefully it will now be a genuine fresh start for the shares. What they've said in the trading statement sounds very positive.

Share consolidation no doubt which inevitably leads to a falling share price

[solarno lopez] 02/2/2021 09:37

quiet so no change here

[solarno lopez] 02/12/2020 08:52

and still is

This continues to be a mess and needs serious bulk or for Lord Ashcroft to turn it into a shell from whence it came

An interesting point at this thoughtful time

[spot1034] 19/6/2020 15:15

I have no wish to strike the wrong chord and I am sure we send condolences to the family of the chairman Dr David Hammond whose death was announced yesterday, but presumably this flurry of activity and quite dramatic rise in the share price has been triggered by this announcement and investors thinking the prospects for the company have improved.

is this cheap ?

[solarno lopez] 15/4/2020 08:37

And zero it is ( post 375 )

CEO was 17 months in and uk politics went into melt down. Least he brought merit which will drive the profit otherwise Dods would deliver zero

[solarno lopez] 23/1/2020 07:49

The right person is Lord Ashcroft who needs to turn this into a proper shell and get rid of the baggage or add some serious bulk

[spot1034] 22/1/2020 18:01

Merit looked like a good acquisition and this must be a big disappointment to the Merit people who've stayed on. Let's hope they can find the right person to knock the company into shape. It's long overdue.

[spot1034] 22/1/2020 11:42

The price seems just to have been marked down, not dropped as a response to selling, and now buyers are coming in.

[catch007] 22/1/2020 10:19

So much for the acquisition benefits! What a crock Dods is turning out to be when its best excuse is Brexit.

[solarno lopez] 22/1/2020 09:42

It gets worse

[solarno lopez] 24/12/2019 11:09

What a bag of rags this has turned out to be

[solarno lopez] 08/11/2019 08:37

going nowhere fast !
