Hargreaves Lansdown Share Discussion Threads

[ochs] 15/3/2024 11:50

It was a good short above £8 - even accounting for the interim divi. Getting closer to the previous low now (676p) - so will shorters take profits or be looking for bigger money?

[barnes4] 15/3/2024 11:23

8.50 to 7 in a month

This lot is absolute chaos

They should shut uk markets with immediate effect they simply don’t work anymore

That's true @Hunter154 providing the market doesn't have a big 20%+ fall from the current highs.

When punters use their cash and invest in shares/ funds HL will earn more money to offset NIM decline

[34adsaddsa] 14/3/2024 15:19

The P/E of 10 isn't seen as "real" by the market because it's caused by net interest margin which didn't exist three years ago and may not exist three years from now. The P/E ex-NIM will be very high.

Peter Hargreaves is right about the cost cuts. OPEX & CAPEX are out of control.

[barnes4] 14/3/2024 14:59

The share price will have a 6 in it this week

[stoopid] 14/3/2024 13:42

So, HL are worth less now than 10 years ago?? You have to go back to 2012/2013 to find the share price this low. Revenue is up, EPS is up, profit is up, PE compared to others in the sector is low, AUM is up, they have good customer retention etc, no debt to speak of.Where HL overvalued at 1500+? Yes. But now, at 720? With a current P/E of 10?The chart looks like a train wreck....

Another one for penny share status unless they get a grip of it

The rates offered on cash look pretty competitive to me, and normal profits being made. I think the action on consumer duty has already been made and HL currently meeting that criteria

Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) is the largest primary silver producer in the United States and the third largest in the world.
With almost 17 million ounces of silver production expected in 2023 and potentially increasing to 20 million ounces by 2025, Hecla is expected to also become Canada’s largest silver producer.
We are the #3 lead and zinc producer in the U.S.
Hecla 100% owns and operates mines in Alaska (Greens Creek), Idaho (Lucky Friday), Quebec, Canada (Casa Berardi), and Yukon Territory, Canada (Keno Hill).
On a silver equivalent ounce basis, Greens Creek is the second largest and highest-grade primary silver mine in the world, and Lucky Friday is the seventh largest with the second highest grade.
Our silver assets continue to generate positive margins after covering all-in sustaining costs in low-price environments.
In 2022, Hecla produced our second highest ounces of silver, and record lead and zinc production. With our acquisition of Alexco Resource Corp., we delivered record silver reserves of 241 million ounces.

Hecla dominates U.S. silver production. We produce more than 45% of all silver in the U.S., and we also mine gold, lead, and zinc. Hecla also owns the only primary silver producer in Canada. Keno Hill is located in the Keno Hill Silver District, one of the highest-grade silver districts in the world. We have exploration properties in world-class silver and gold mining districts throughout North America.

Hecla pays an annual minimum common stock dividend of $0.015 per share to be paid quarterly at $0.00375 per share.

Hecla also pays a silver price-linked common stock dividend based on Hecla’s average realized silver price for the preceding quarter (starting with a minimum average realized silver price of $20.00). Realized prices are calculated by dividing gross revenues for each metal by the payable quantities of each metal included in concentrate and doré sold during the period.

They have been shorted due to structural issues with the business. High fees/low growth/falling margins due to rising costs.

The shorters were right about that, but significant net interest margin gains due to interest rate hikes have held up the financial results.

Interest rate cuts or FCA action on consumer duty could reduce interest rate margin profits and then HL's profits would collapse in the way shorters expected.

[stoopid] 11/3/2024 23:01

7.6% when I checked yesterday, down from 12.6% a month or three ago?? Maybe shorts closing was why the price spiked to 840 before results.The short percentage is really high here and no one seems to have any idea why?The financials were good, increased dividend and things look good going forward.The platform fees seem OK but not the cheapest. So I cannot see what the issue is?

[lomax99] 11/3/2024 10:52

Shorters upping their bets slightly.

[cottlet] 10/3/2024 14:40

Can anyone explain to me how I got shafted by HL on QBT?
One minute I have shares, the next they are being delisted from my ISA and then moved to my Fund and Share account
and during the move are deemed worthless......I would be grateful for an explanation as to how this can be.
They are still quoted..

Need stamp duty to be removed for uk shares if they want to revive interest

[zam1] 08/3/2024 18:55

8 funds 7.4% shorted.This is high I don't own any of HL stock but it does not look good with that amount of shorts. I have not had any issues dealing with them and they response to message's I had no issues.Trade charges are not cheap and the App seems to work very well no issues logging in either.Not sure why so much shorting and that has put me off buying this stock not sure about others.The new British ISA I am not sure if it matters a lot as most average investor is all ready holding a fair amount of British stocks why they did not simply increases the allowance to £25k. Maybe it will affect some fund mangers.

[dickbush] 06/3/2024 17:06

The Government has announced the introduction of a new British ISA to encourage investment in UK companies and boost the City.

It will give people an additional £5,000 tax-free allowance to invest in UK assets, on top of the existing £20,000 limit.

Them that can do, them that can't teach, and them that really are totally clueless join the FCA

[giltedge1] 03/3/2024 09:11

HL pays me 3.65% on cash not invested OK, while waiting to reinvest. Banks pay pathetic interest on Billions but do not receive any criticism I presume different regulator. PRA instead on FCA more worried about stability of financial system, so doesn't,t care for consumers, OK with free money. HL unfairly criticised.
