I misquoted them slightly "The leverage ratio is expected to contract further this year but remains too steep for our liking" |
Not shooting the messenger here but the IC is not up with events in saying high leverage applies to HLN. At end-24 it had net debt of GBP7.9bn, 2.8x EBITDA, and down from GBP8.5bn at end-23. And during 2024 it spent GBP0.5bn on buybacks. HLN is throwing off cash and able to delever at a rapid enough clip if so minded. |
Tipped in IC fwiw, they think the China growth promise and brand strength outweigh the forex headwinds and high leverage. |
Seems good results did become good news after all. These results day negative reactions happen fairly regularly. |
Thank you Pilgrim |
4.6p per share, Ex-div 24 April payable 05 June. |
Could you tell me please how much the coming dividend is going be? |
In line. Hardly a crash considering the pre results run up. If you're looking for a crash try WPP. |
Good results doesn't mean Good news hence the Sp just crashed |
Positive price action ahead of results on 27th is encouraging. |
It still has 700 million and this sale has not affected the share price significantly. Perhaps because someone bought them! |

Forward yield for 25 is only about 2% at 362p and a forecast 7.2p divi. |
#Anhar, a slow and steady growth share IMO, as the debt winds off dividends will increase, hopefully somewhere closer to the GSK 4% payout..
02.08.2023 - net debt at 30.06.2023 of GBP9,5BN with 3.4x net debt/adjusted EBITDA 29.02.2024 - net debt at 31.12.2023 of GBP8.5BN with 3.0x net debt/adjusted EBITDA 01.08.2024 - net debt at 30.06.2024 of GBP8.4BN with 2.9x net debt/adjusted EBITDA 31.10.2024 - target net debt/adjusted EBITDA of around 2.5x |
As an income investor I won't be adding at the current very low yield. Even a big rise in the divis of say 50% would still leave the yield too low for me to increase my holding with the share price around the present level. For most purchases, either top-ups or new holdings, I like to target a yield of at least 5% in current market conditions though I sometimes make exceptions to this for portfolio and diversification reasons.
I continue though to retain my holding from the GSK demerger as I think HLN has decent potential divi growth and my favoured approach is to to nothing. |
Yes, slippery slope continuing. Could really do with Pfizer dumping their final 15% |
