Anyone able to post The Times Woodford article from today?

Hi @alotto, I suspect one reason is the pending demotion to the FTSE 250 - it's now official and actually takes effect on Monday 18 December. I'm thinking tracker funds will now be selling over the next 2 weeks in advance of 18 December?

If that's the case I'm aiming to buy for the longer term at various prices all the way down to 622p.

Many companies fall into the FTSE 250 and actually bounce back 3 months later - Abrdn (who own ii) are a good example of this recently.

[alotto] 01/12/2023 10:25

why did JP Morgan lower the target price to just over £6? That's quite harsh considering the business made 300million pounds of net profits last year and considering the fat-ish dividend

So new Chair announced today - there had been talk that Deanna might not get enough votes at the AGM on 8 Dec, so they've avoided that potential embarrassment by hurrying things through!

ii, I like more plus 3.75% interest accrued daily paid monthly, great while you're waiting to trade something.

Stoopid do you work for HL.? I just think for the high fees they charge the platform should be first class.

[ochs] 29/11/2023 06:39

Although I'm an HL shareholder I would admit that the ii platform is currently better, and more user friendly.

[angus mcoatup] 28/11/2023 14:35

Wtf is happing with the HL. platform today. Some of my holdings are showing 1000%. Platform is not fit for purpose.

Well in the 7 years of Chris Hill’s tenure as CEO: Revenue has gone from £326.5m to £735.1m, up £408.6m, +123%%, Profits are up from £218.9m to £438.8m, up £219.9m, +100% and AUM is up from £61.7bn to £134bn, up £72.3bn +117%. I am not sure what more could be have been expected.

W has cast a long, dark, shadow. The seeds for W pre-dates Chris Hill.

Agree about Schwab being an option.

[lomax99] 26/11/2023 15:08

Not sure I can see that merger happening, HL do not need/want AJB. PE action could be a possibility, more likely for AJB. Still think Schwab could be interested in HL, if they ever had any ambition beyond home turf.

[stoopid] 26/11/2023 08:06

Need the Woodford Saga to be done and dusted so they can move on and also see what it will cost them. Also hanging over HL. is the costs/fees thing. I don't think HL are in the same boat or league as St James Place who got smashed over their exorbitant costs but AJ Bell and HL are both taking hits because of the forecasts of less profits and poor revenue growth...

[ochs] 24/11/2023 14:50

Then again in the last 10 years profits are up massively and yet the share price & p/e are languishing. Demotion to Ftse 250 - not a great legacy Chris Hill !

[giltedge1] 24/11/2023 14:18

Depends on reference point listed at £2.00 2008, 15 years now £7.00 so thats already 350%+, plus dividends say at least 4% pa, so looking at 400% at least. 4x in 15 years not too bad.

[porsche1945] 23/11/2023 17:50

Lost 62pc of its value in 10 years, take into ac inflation….it’s probably lost nearer 90pc, why you have to buy quality US growth stocks and not shxtty U.K. dividend stocks.

[stoopid] 22/11/2023 11:08

Ugh, may well be sold off further as funds that are FTSE 100 trackers and hold HL. Sell it off...

[action] 22/11/2023 08:45

HL GOINING TO BE DEMOTED TO 250 FTOM FTSE 100 IN RESHUFFLE. Mighty star has fallen

[adamb1978] 15/11/2023 08:53

Good inflation data on both sides of the pond in consecutive days. Positive for small/mid caps

[lomax99] 15/11/2023 08:43

Rising nicely in advance to XD tomorrow. I prefer Peel Hunt's £12(?) target lol

[stoopid] 15/11/2023 08:15

So much for the UBS downgrade, up over 5% in two days, maybe the shorts closing?
