more likely to de-list !

Very difficult with the founding chairman owning such a high percentage of shares.

[thuja2] 30/3/2019 13:05

Any chance this could be taken over so you think?

[stemis] 07/3/2019 10:31

Yes, looks relatively stable. Dividend for year should be 4.45p (1.8p + 2.65p), a chunky yield of 9.9%.

[hugepants] 07/3/2019 09:34

Results look OK. Interim dividend maintained at 1.8p

More ethical.........can you elaborate?

[fenners66] 24/1/2019 11:15

I held on to these rather than take the hit , as I think that the move to more ethical and hopefully sustainable business will eventually bear fruit....

Better figures on new business this quarter

[younasm] 13/12/2018 07:29

I will try to gather more info. I am guessing markets are awaiting a year of good results before these can be re-rated - it's always possible there is worse to come.Holding until next set of results ..

It depends if you think the market's hollowing-out of this stock over the past year or so has been wrong or at least overdone and at very least more sideways movement or even some recovery is on the cards in the foreseeable future.

Personally I'm unconvinced, as is the market, that HSD will be attractive, regardless of yield, until or unless the potential litigation costs in Europe stop mounting.

Remember: a particularly tempting-looking yield, like any arithmetical product of a numerator over a denominator, can mean that a business's market value has plunged for good reason rather than that its revenues and profitability are high and sustainable.

[younasm] 12/12/2018 08:31

Are these worth buying for the yield ? Interims end of Feb-2019Any views on expected results?

[pvb] 13/11/2018 21:53

...4 shares? Been saving up his pocket money then. LOL!

[hugepants] 13/11/2018 21:00

Director buying. Timothy Neil Davis has bought 4 shares.


Hopefully this will spark a re-rating. It's been a torrid few months for shareholders.

[mister md] 12/10/2018 13:05

me too. fantastic dividends. just a shame the shareprice collapse totally wipes out any upside from this disaster of a share

[hugepants] 27/9/2018 11:55

£77M market cap compares with "European Embedded Value" of £180M.

Potential litigation liabilities of £17M
Stonking yield
Sales down 15% compared to Q1 last year.

I'm not a great fan of stocks in the financial sector but I hold some of these for the yield.

[younasm] 27/9/2018 09:46

Negative results - increased litigations

[neilyb675] 30/7/2018 19:10

ANOTHER HUGE BUY by Director of the company.....Dr Leonard Selwyn Polonsky CBE

175k shares @ 62p

[cockerhoop] 26/7/2018 07:57

Whilst the level of new business is at similar levels it is at lower margin.

'During FY 2018, our product mix had continued to trend towards lower margin products and we have experienced increased costs arising from strategic and regulatory projects.'

[grahamg8] 26/7/2018 07:45

If business is similar to 2017 then perhaps we could hope for a share price similar too? That would be 80 to 90p, we can but hope.

Hansard Global plc

New business results for the year ended 30 June 2018

Hansard Global plc ("Hansard" or "the Group"), the specialist long-term savings provider, issues its new business results for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 ("FY 2018").

Summary

-- Overall for the year to 30 June 2018, new business for Hansard International Limited ("Hansard International") was GBP146.6m in PVNBP ("Present Value of New Business Premiums") terms, similar to the prior year;

-- New business for Q4 FY 2018 was GBP36.8m, up from GBP34.5m in Q4 FY 2017 and from GBP32.8m in Q3 FY 2018;

-- Significant growth in the Middle East, Africa and Latin America during the quarter was offset by lower sales in the Far East;

-- Assets under Administration of GBP1.04 billion are broadly in line with Q3 FY 2018.
Gordon Marr, Group Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"The actions we are taking to reposition the business are delivering encouraging results. Middle East and Africa are now generating improved sales levels and we plan to use our recently announced license in the Bahamas to support our rapidly growing Latin American and remaining global expatriate business. While our actions to exit certain distribution channels in the Far East have led to lower sales short term, we expect growth to return as we focus on more locally licensed opportunities in the future. We look forward to developing further licenses across our markets to support growth in the near, medium and long terms."

Results announcement

Hansard will announce its results for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 on Thursday 27 September 2018.
