so why not cut this years by a third and maintain the following year

[cockerhoop] 23/2/2017 08:04

NTV,

Not really strange, profits from existing FUM are being matched by new business costs and the relatively chunky dividend is eating into cash funds so has had to be reduced. The problem they have is that new business is lower margin than existing so requires a larger volume to replace the profitability of any business lost.

Miton topping up recently just before results
perhaps they have been leaning on management to make these changes to become a growth company

Will add on any significant weakness....I like these.✔

Indeed does seem strange.
Have a small holding here, might exit if the share price doesn`t fall.

Soon see.

maintained dividend this year but cutting the following year
seems strange way to do it unless they are hoping that growth in the coming year
may give them a chance to maintain or reduce the cut the following year

Interims this week. May or may not make a significant top up based on back of what they say.

Just adding up the numbers; in the last 10 years they've generated 109.2p of earnings and paid out 109.5p in dividends.

Why is this so lowly rated? It appears to make a decent income with high margins and pay them out to shareholders. Am I missing something obvious ?

[garycook] 18/11/2016 08:17

Yes received from HL,but after hours last night.

[cwa1] 18/11/2016 08:17

Not got mine yet-but no worries, should appear next week.

[wllmherk] 18/11/2016 08:12

Should have received my dividend yesterday, but, still no sign, have others received theirs ?

Margins are much lower now than 4-5 years ago since they changed the business model.

[iasike] 16/11/2016 12:32

Just put it on my watchlist, and tempted to have a little flutter.
As I understand it, the reduced profits are due to their fees being more geared to the future rather than up front, not sure how long it will take to get back to previous profit levels, but with the increased business surely it will happen?
In the meantime nice div.

Positive trading update this morning.
However, not much of a share price response & volume fairly low after yesterdays spike. Need to generate some interest to get this going upwards IMO.

[neilyb675] 09/11/2016 16:50

5.3p FINAL DIV APPROVED

[neilyb675] 27/10/2016 09:08

Back to 120p imvhpo ✔

[garycook] 27/10/2016 08:17

To all HSD shareholders. I have today put a Limit sell order on my holding in HSD of 150p,to stop Shorter,s from loaning the shares from my broker,which they can do for a fee,without me or you knowing about.I suggest you do the same.

[thuja2] 14/10/2016 22:31

There is no need to sell this if you are looking for the dividend it is not a share for trading more for a pension pot, shame that it is hitting stop losses

[garycook] 12/10/2016 11:50

Owe me 80p,so will be holding.

[pvb] 12/10/2016 11:11

A good share for a trader, perhaps? But not one for holding for the dividend etc. unless purchased at a really low price.

[solarno lopez] 11/10/2016 14:35

That's nice

[neilyb675] 11/10/2016 14:33

87p coming

[my retirement fund] 11/10/2016 10:45

I'd be tempted again at 90p thats for sure

[wllmherk] 11/10/2016 10:31

think you could be right regarding the dividend capt, this is getting a roasting since i bought in at 122p. Not my biggest holding but enough to do real damage to the folio.
:(
