Posted at 21/10/2024 15:02 by bigegoadvfn And also consider dividends, which have been very generous over the years especially when you factor in the special dividends.Over the last 15 years, between 2010 and 2024 (assuming final is 3.3p) ITV has paid a total of 91.55p in dividends. Also going back to 2000, ITV has paid 128.56p This income makes you think, compared to the current share price of 77p ... ITV Dividend History - should paste into Excel comma separated if you save this text as a file ... ;) Interesting to note: adding all this up and dividing by 25 years provided = 5.14p average - so infact the 5p currently being paid a year is BELOW average using a quarter century of data...

Posted at 21/10/2024 09:42 by bigegoadvfn Wow I really like this - YouTube has most of the eyeballs in the key young viewer market (16-34) - and ITV are smart to try and tap into this. Also the thing about naming it with key YouTube and ITV heritage suggests they are really serious about this.Will reshare your post on ADVFN, thanks Win. Source: Winstanley @ LSE ITV Chatroom : "YouTube and beyond! Here are the key takeaways from the news: 1. Launch of Zoo 55: ITV Studios has introduced Zoo 55, a new digital content label focused on platforms like YouTube. - The name references both YouTube’s first video (2005) and ITV’s founding (1955). 2. Leadership Appointments: - Martin Trickey, formerly at WarnerBros International TV Production, will lead Zoo 55 as Managing Director. - Graham Haigh, ITV’s EVP Digital, will act as COO. 3. Massive YouTube Presence: ITV Studios reported 2 billion views across 140 of its YouTube channels, including *The Voice Global* and *Hell’s Kitchen*, in 2024. 4. Strategic Focus on Digital Platforms: The move aims to connect with mobile audiences and engage viewers across different channels beyond traditional TV. 5. Extended Deal with Seven Network: ITV Studios renewed its 25-year partnership with Australia’s Seven Network until 2029, including key content like 'The Crow Girl' and 'Line of Duty'. 6. Market Adaptation: Despite the slower TV production market, ITV sees momentum returning and is adjusting its strategies accordingly. This initiative reflects ITV’s push to diversify into digital platforms and maintain relevance with changing audience habits." |
Posted at 08/10/2024 13:27 by bigegoadvfn It's defo the hottest topic around ITV - but it would be insane to sell off ITV Studios - the bit that was left would be very undesirable even with the additional cash generated from the sale.What might make more sense however is a strategic partnership / partial sale - with ITV Group retaining controlling share / controlling interest eg 51%. So ITV Group gets 49% of the cash value of ITV Studios, and still controls it, and ITVS.L exists as a separate legal entity with its own shareholders. ... Also the Channel 4 results mentioning an 'ad slump' probably explains the weakness in ITV recently - however they are 2 different animals (Channel 4 works on a not-for-profit model - impossible to compare to ITV Group!) (and ad weakness has been openly discussed by ITV - but perhaps Channel 4 have been late to shout about it) and so I see this as simply another incorrect market reaction and have topped up around 77p! |
Posted at 06/10/2024 10:28 by bigegoadvfn Good to hear - yes those are standout bumper dividend years.The next special dividend can’t be too far away IMHO. They are usually announced at year end results time so next opportunity will be 06 March 2025 - ITV Plc 2024 Full Year Results. Plus the buyback reducing the number of dividend yielding shares from approx 4bn to approx 3.7bn (by early 2025/Q2) reduces the dividend bill for ITV (shares held in Treasury are excluded from dividend distribution, and more recently have been simply cancelled). |
Posted at 06/10/2024 10:07 by bigegoadvfn Regarding dividends - ITV has quite a history of announcing special dividends, eg 5 years in a row (2012 to 2016) in the data below.Then in 2017 - 2018, specials were not used as the normal dividend total was as high as 8p a year anyway. Then COVID hit and dividends were cancelled. And now we’re back to 5p a year. I would argue there is a high probability that ITV will announce special dividends again in the near future. Would be a nice cash boost - that I would reinvest in ITV naturally! Also for fellow data nerds - if you add up all the dividends paid 2012 to 2023 it totals 84.95p in just 12 years - more than the share price today - which is an average of 7.08p per year and 41% higher than the 5p currently being paid per year - so ITV are paying significantly below their long term average. Note: there is an error in this table which doesn’t include the special dividend value in the total dividend column. Eg total divs in 2015 were actually 16p. |

Posted at 16/9/2024 15:06 by wsb diamondhans According to Ask Ai www.iAsk.ai:Analysis of ITV Takeover Rumours Overview of ITV’s Position in the Market ITV plc, the largest commercial broadcaster in the UK, has been frequently mentioned as a potential target for takeover bids. The company’s share price has fluctuated significantly over recent years, often influenced by speculation regarding its acquisition. As of 2024, ITV’s market value is estimated at around £3.3 billion, which makes it an attractive option for larger media companies or private equity firms looking to expand their portfolios. Historical Context of Takeover Speculation Takeover rumours surrounding ITV are not new; they have persisted for several years. For instance, there have been claims that various private equity groups and media giants were considering bids for the company. In particular, three private equity firms—Apax Partners, Providence Equity Partners, and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts—were reported to be evaluating a potential offer of approximately £1.00 per share, which would represent a significant premium over previous trading prices. Despite these ongoing discussions and speculation, concrete offers have yet to materialize. This lack of action raises questions about the credibility of such rumours and whether they are based on solid information or merely speculative chatter within investment circles. Market Dynamics Influencing Takeover Rumours Several factors contribute to the ongoing speculation about ITV being a takeover target: Valuation Metrics: Analysts have noted that ITV trades at low price-to-earnings ratios compared to its peers in the media sector. This undervaluation makes it an appealing target for acquisition as buyers often seek undervalued assets. Share Buyback Programs: ITV has engaged in share buyback initiatives which some speculate could be a defensive strategy against hostile takeovers. By reducing the number of shares available on the market, ITV can potentially increase its share price and make itself less attractive to acquirers. Economic Conditions: The broader economic environment also plays a role in shaping takeover activity. With UK stocks perceived as cheap relative to historical valuations and foreign bidders showing increased interest in UK-listed companies, ITV could attract attention from overseas investors looking for strategic acquisitions. Industry Trends: The media landscape is rapidly evolving with increasing competition from streaming services like Netflix and Disney+. Traditional broadcasters like ITV may find themselves under pressure to consolidate or partner with larger entities to remain competitive. Recent Developments and Future Outlook As of 2024, there continues to be speculation regarding potential bids for ITV as various parties assess their options amid changing market conditions. While some analysts suggest that a bidding war could ensue if multiple interested parties emerge, others caution that without a formal offer or announcement from any party involved, such discussions remain speculative at best. The average premium paid during recent takeovers in the UK has been around 51%, suggesting that if an offer were made for ITV, it could significantly exceed current trading prices—potenti In conclusion, while there are numerous factors supporting the idea that ITV could be an attractive takeover target due to its valuation metrics and market position, actual developments remain uncertain until formal offers are made public. |
Posted at 16/9/2024 10:50 by bigegoadvfn Stag - the rundown is that a long time ago when Steve Jobs was still alive - he had the dream of Apple bringing out their own hardware TV device to 'revolutionize viewing' - and following the iPhone and iPad it would have been called iTV, naturally.With ITV however using this trademark globally - Apple had a problem - so the WSJ story is that Steve Jobs called the head of ITV and offered to buy the brand name. How much he offered is not stated, and what ITV would have done after losing their name is anyone's guess. But it didn't happen - Steve died, Apple moved on and focused on their "Apple TV" platform instead... However. :) ITV today has a market cap so low that a behemoth like Apple could easily buy ITV Group >>> just to acquire the global brand name <<<. Get ready for the wishful thinking, here it comes! Apple buy ITV Group. Apple sell off the terrestrial broadcast division to, take your pick, STV, Channel 5, a European broadcaster, the BBC (ha! - but suddenly BBC would have a channel they can earn ad income on - they'd love that). With the simple proviso the ITV channel name is no longer used. Apple merge ITV Studios into Apple Studios - making it even bigger on the global stage. The ITV channel branding is no more. Apple rename the Apple TV platform / service to iTV. Whether they pursue a new hardware iTV device is anybody's guess - but finally owning the brand could kickstart renewed interest. Roll on 2040. Apple dominates TV just like they dominate phones. The end. (Oh and ITV shareholders are all rich). The enderer. |
