Posted at 21/3/2012 17:23 by edmundshaw well done folks. I left this one alone, but no hard feelings.At least the Beazley share price is now up on the news they are NOT taking out HDU! :-) |
Posted at 21/12/2011 17:16 by goldibucks If BEZ offer the same poor premium to net tangible assets they offered for HDU last time, I suspect ARIG and other institutions will reject it again. Peel Hunt forecast net tangible assets of 232p at 31 Dec on 22 Nov so that less any downward adjustment required plus the 70p premium they offered last time is my starting point. |
Posted at 17/11/2011 09:27 by 1nf3rn0 What on earth were management here thinking rejecting the BEZ offer! Glad I hold BEZ, they're looking in a very strong position now relative to HDU. |
Posted at 17/11/2011 08:57 by inntolife I agree very difficult to make the decision, but I have decided to keep away from this one. When compared to BEZ profit margin 14.75% BEZ, 4.96% HDU....Net income of Revenues 10.98% BEZ, 1.34% HDU...ROCE 4.34% BEZ, 1.75% HDU... The last time the share price got around these levels was August 2006 £1.96 before that was September 2005 £1.92 and before that was 2003.. "My havern't the board done wonders" The board should of taken the money and run IMO As I said at the start I don't know or feel just how low this is going to go before it attracts another bid and I'm not prepared to put my money in it, but I will enjoy watching and hopfully learning a bit about how these sorts of things pan out. BTW is Billinsgate still going? |
Posted at 17/4/2011 14:05 by goldibucks Hardy Underwriting was tipped in the Investor's Chronicle this week. Could somebody post the article? Bull points were Japanese losses less than expected, attractive dividend, bid target, and catastrophe losses firming up premiums. Bear points were investment returns under pressure and catastrophe losses hitting profits. |
Posted at 08/2/2011 09:53 by 1nf3rn0 Good results from BEZ today. Hopefully HDU can impress too after turning down a 330p offer from BEZ. |
Posted at 07/1/2011 12:21 by 1fox1 I would imagine Aussie floods are likely to impact HDU harder than most Lloyds ILVs due to their international profile (cost estimates coming in so far at approx. AU $5bn including disruption). However, share price is likely to be underpinned by continuing buy-back and fact that many there are self-insured so possibly mitigating some claims, we'll have to wait and see. Many Lloyds vehicles have rallied in December/Jan. |
Posted at 24/12/2010 09:49 by 1fox1 A couple of insurers have raised their estimates for the NZ earthquake. Will be interesting t osee if HDU follow. |
Posted at 14/12/2010 21:22 by topvest The management team are very good here, so we should let them continue with 10% dividend growth in perpetuity and NAV growth as well. It may take a couple of years, but they will be great value imo. |
Posted at 14/12/2010 08:20 by skyracer the Hardy board would only be prepared to recommend a price substantially in excess of the Final ProposalIn whose interests are they acting? When the share price opens 100p below the 350p offer price then the offer was fair. Surprised the institutions invested in Hardy are prepared to stomach this. I agree with little beaker, a special dividend or tender offer at 350p would be appropriate, particularily since the Board value Hardy "substantially in excess" of 350p! |
