Stop talking dividends.... this company just launched 2 blockbusters!

Growing UK political risks hanging heavy over utilities.

[mj19] 17/11/2017 17:09

Annoying really as it always can get cheaper...

[atlantic57] 17/11/2017 17:01

Mj forgive me for one post on Ng on this thread but surely that fall is way overdone.

a uk interest rates are unlikely to rise dramatically in the near term

B the dividend is solid

C political risk seems to be discounted

It's pay up time for years of overly generous dividends,
the price for those is now reflected in the share price.

i know that feeling, bought national grid it tanked, bought centrica it tanked... so nothing is safe... at the moment I only hold GSK and Barc and neither is doing anything special

[atlantic57] 17/11/2017 16:33

Mj that is very helpful thanks .
I am struggling to think of Uk Companies that I would invest in just at the moment

The problem is the debt hence no bidder GlaxoSmithKline currently boasts $5.3 billion in cash in the bank -- but it also carries $24.4 billion in debt. Had Glaxo held onto its cash, it would be rich

A consequence of Glaxo's weak profits is that the company's payout ratio (the percentage of Glaxo's profits that are paid out to shareholders in the form of dividends) now exceeds 200%. Put another way, for every $1 Glaxo earns in profits, the company pays its shareholders $2 in dividends -- $1 that it has, and $1 that it has to borrow. This is not a sustainable dividend policy, hence the drama but they are paying it through 2018... after that who knows..

[atlantic57] 17/11/2017 16:09

Surely at this valuation the company would be a very tempting bid target or am I being to simplistic

[bracke] 17/11/2017 15:39

Onward and downward. Next possible support 12718 unless it want to go the 'whole hog' at 12279.

[bennodean] 17/11/2017 15:12

12.50 anyone?

[redips2] 17/11/2017 14:53

Even I am getting tempted now .

[essentialinvestor] 17/11/2017 14:48

Here we go, will it hold..

[juju44] 17/11/2017 10:15

Technically very oversold

[essentialinvestor] 17/11/2017 09:57

We avoided a test of £13 yesterday because of US market strength imv.

[juju44] 17/11/2017 09:01

just bought some here . Fall looks overdone

[bili1946] 17/11/2017 08:59

MJ19...bit premature?

[mj19] 16/11/2017 20:27

At last we rise yeahhhhh

[essentialinvestor] 16/11/2017 13:42

Trelegy/closed triple, looks a great product, it's a case of whether
insurers/health services will pay the price difference to simplify
a medication regime. From memory trials appear to show some incremental
benefit in reducing exacerbations.

[essentialinvestor] 16/11/2017 13:36

It's giving the impression of being dragged towards £13
like some whirlpool effect, hopefully not.

[woodhawk] 16/11/2017 13:21

Nope, there's clearly an agenda here. Still, can buy nice'n'cheap while it lasts.

[spoole5] 16/11/2017 13:17

is there no piece of good news that can make this rise.
