Looks like a healthy pullback in a strong uptrend - but yes, most likely large holder disposing. Temporary, I think.

Owners unloading yet again maybe, perma overhang with both looking to liquidate on any bounce plus the possible group legal action over Woodford fiasco, that probably wouldn’t come to too much but the bad press no good for share price, interesting the owners have been unloading ever since the Woodford thing started, maybe they see it as more of a problem than the usual dipsxxt PI’s.

Any reason for this fall?

[imastu pidgitaswell] 03/6/2020 11:11

As a non-holder thinking about... good. :-)

[porsche1945] 03/6/2020 11:04

Sliding again.

Shorts increasing here revenues must be expected to reduce if an actual recession of any magnitude takes hold : hxxps://shorttracker.co.uk/company/GB00B1VZ0M25/

Share price movement, how original

Was always going to be a relatively good statement - as per comments earlier, this is about as CV19-proof as it gets, with barriers to entry and the safety of being one of the largest players. "These impacts were more than offset by significantly higher stock broking revenues driven by record dealing activity. March and April both saw a series of new daily records and monthly dealing levels more than double the highs ever experienced before this period" Contributed a fair bit of that myself... Premium valuation but for good reason.

Market like the statement. Dividend policy unchanged.

Given recent market turmoil, HL. have delivered a strong performance.

[mac15] 10/5/2020 14:47

Hl give a first 4 months trading update on Thursday so some indication to performance. I would like to see either a put up or shut up action by the lawyers as the drip feed bad publicity isn’t helping. It would look bad if an action was placed just after the founders sold large chunks so unlikely. More of Fridays’s performance would help!

[ochs] 10/5/2020 12:27

My guess is that IF anything is filed HL will do their best to settle out of court without accepting liability... and probably would be successful in doing so.

[lomax99] 10/5/2020 12:02

Yawn! Conclude what exactly? Worth considering when someone actually files something, which they have, supposedly, been on the verge of for the last 6 months.......

[mac15] 10/5/2020 06:16

They need to conclude this to make progress. httPS://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/investing/article-8303391/Legal-fight-looms-Hargreaves-Lansdowns-role-Woodford-fund.html

Apols if you already know this but HL are good at saying in advance when they'll announce things hTTps://www.hl.co.uk/investor-relations/financial-calendar So it looks like the end of tax year trading statement will be Thursday 14th May this year.

I said the business model is good due to: - the millions of people who will have to fund their own retirement from defined contribution schemes, now that defined benefit schemes in the private sector have gone - there will still be pension relief, even if the level is reduced; - the millions who want ISAs - the millions who want to simply invest in shares and/or funds. And they will want to do it online, with the safety of using the biggest and safest. It's as close as it gets to a business model that will not be impacted by pandemics, with large barriers to entry. It's competitive, for sure, but it helps to be the biggest player. The valuation, I tend to agree - it's not cheap, and that's why it is not (currently) for me. But it is valued on a forward earnings basis, and while possibly not growing this year, will grow in future. Because of the business model, I am more than happy to buy more if I buy too early. But no rush as far as I can see just yet. (I do my own investing, nothing in funds, so they only make £200 a year out of me - no percentage commissions!)

[privileged] 30/4/2020 15:35

Imastu. Why do you think business good? The valuation looked very toppy to me and still does. The next austerity phase is sure to cut pension relief I reckon plus when the markets fall back again their performance fees will be much lower as AUM will decline. Plus the holders sizeable sales plus newer challenger entrants to market. I say sell. Imo

Today 1480p is more a buying likely precisely the time to buy with shares down 10% on a non trading issue. Tempting. Potential to recover very strongly now from this level if next update is ok. Though Aj bell is currently setting the pace.
