Lloyds Banking Group is set to buy its first property under radical plans to become a private landlord

It’s a good time to purchase if you have the funds available. There was a recent flash sale at the Swadlincote works with lots of assets being sold at auction. This paves the way for the land and buildings to be sold in the not to distant future . It was purchased for £20million in 2017.

2.8p ex divi today share price drops 12p !?!

[charlie9038] 14/6/2021 15:39

Perhaps not, seems to have fallen since I bought in, must have jinxed it. Have they run out of bricks?

[charlie9038] 21/5/2021 07:09

Good time to buy in, this looks promising

[edmundshaw] 20/5/2021 08:40

Indeed! Corrected. :))

Forterra not Ibstock. This is a place to discus Forterra.

[edmundshaw] 20/5/2021 08:23

Oh, not that tiresome list of tripe again. Please, this thread is a discussion about Forterra and its business, and the real world it inhabits.

Performance to be materially ahead of expectations.. Sounds good to me

[its the oxman] 26/3/2021 08:43

Agree 300p plus is very possible near term, though think it could much higher in time when new factory is up and running and economy eventually booms again with covid a distant memory.

I got lucky added a few at £1.515 in March, but the absolute bargain was surprisingly in September when there was a chance to add at £1.415.

My average price is still around £2, so I am sure damanko has a lower entry point, but really it is all irrelevant history. I originally bought down at 220p+ on Brexit concerns, because the company business is simple, solid and with great prospects with the housing shortage. That logic hold true after a great resilience through the pandemic, and £3 would be an absolute minimum ytarget price for me...

Bonjour encore Thrump.

Retain half my holding from 2016, well in profit of course, and, given the recent results the company seems to be coping with what I call 'the lost year' quite well, unlike many other pure manufacturing outfits. I won't be selling the rest anytime soon, the reasons I invested some 5 years ago are as relevant as ever. I only sold half as I felt the share price had got a little toppy in 2019. And it's now again definitely heading in the right direction.

I wonder sometimes how many private investors last year, when the share price hovered around the £1.60 mark thought things had bottomed out, and took a punt? That's even less than I originally paid...

Slightly OT, are you in France? I've been unable to visit my place in Brittany since January last year.

Regards and stay well.

.I’ve added a few more shares on yesterday’s drop

Be nice to see this back over 300p, good recovery play. Well run and using past money raised to grow and scale the business. Always vulnerable to housing market sentiment but a safer way to play that trend than house builders themselves and our love with houses is never going away.

[dual313] 03/12/2020 12:48

Any reason why this hasn't kicked on since the trading update..

[edmundshaw] 26/11/2020 09:06

But the profit taking has landed us back where we started. That is a bit of an over-pullback. I wonder if the reality of the UK's dire finances is hitting investor confidence in the government's grandiose growth plans for infrastructure and perhaps even housing...

[tournesol] 25/11/2020 18:00

Profit taking after a remarkable surge. Entirely understandable.

[pugugly] 25/11/2020 15:40

So why the fall?

[npp62] 25/11/2020 15:31

Time to load up if the fall continues!

[edmundshaw] 24/11/2020 10:40

Read across to Ibstock (IBST) - market a bit slow on the uptake, so an opportunity there which I have taken.

[its the oxman] 24/11/2020 08:09

Yes all very positive.

[purplepelmets] 24/11/2020 07:50

Could not be happier with this update

[its the oxman] 24/11/2020 07:24

Encouraging update and we get a div now.
