Lancashire Share Discussion Threads

Since all this news come out, 101.7 million has been wiped off the share price, now they estimate that worst way of everything excluding the recent japan situation was 55 million, so that leaves another 46.7 million in which would have to be the loss realised in japan if this fall was to be realistic, now obviously we know that lancashire are in property by a large amount but where it is I do not know, I looked at the annual report and it said we are exposed by 16.6 million in the far east, so surely on that basis we cannot be exposed barely at all to this recent event?
Unless I made a mistake there then it should of only wiped 71.6 million of the market cap, so on that basis its a good buying opportunity, would anyone agree? or have i made a school boy mistake somewhere?

Results look ok, but not spectacular. Good to hear that they did not have a large exposure to the Australian floods.

Broker upgrade

New here so missed out on that one but good to hear that bit of information. It may be possible that the rise is in anticipation of favourable news on Monday. [I will be listening in on that one - details available on the Company website]

SP has just passed the level it had reached before the autumn divi announcement, which is a faster recovery than in 2009/10. Will we be seeing 7.50 plus by autumn?

[augustus1] 17/2/2011 19:24

let's hope there is good news next week.

[ph1ts] 11/2/2011 15:27

Another active day, it's up and down like a brides nightie!

[ph1ts] 04/2/2011 16:23

Good to see the up-trend resume. This share is a trader's delight. It is never still, even when with small volumes traded.

[rlindsey2] 19/1/2011 13:43

Just general optimisom in the markets i guess, everyone is turning bullish and happy so might be why.

[ph1ts] 19/1/2011 09:14

Very lively this morning. Anybody have any thoughts as to why?

Special Dividend payment date is the 19th of January, at approx. £0.88 per common share.

[ph1ts] 04/1/2011 16:07

Lots of price movement today, possibly due to the general market activity, but good to see us climbing back to the pre dividend area.

[rlindsey2] 16/12/2010 20:51

hey, You might all know but just encase you didn't, lancashire produced a presentation on the 4th quarter results and just a summury of there past record.
Its a good read if you haven't yet had a look, here's the link.

[ph1ts] 09/12/2010 16:25

Thanks gerpod, I knew there would be a simple answer. Nice bounce today.

[typo56] 09/12/2010 16:10

I see I received 89.33p per share in lieu of the $1.40 dividend for my CFD position. Fair exchange rate.

[gerpod] 09/12/2010 15:26

ex date 8th, record date 10th, ex date is the one that matters.

[ph1ts] 09/12/2010 12:03

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have the record date for the special div as tomorrow, so why did we drop yesterday? I can see that ADVFN has the share flagged as ex-div, which obviously explains it, but I don't understand where the 10th comes in.

[broshm] 09/12/2010 10:33

Typo56 , many thanks for your help !

[typo56] 08/12/2010 17:24

[broshm] 08/12/2010 17:19

Please let me know where you get your information .

Is there a special divi at 13% ???

[typo56] 08/12/2010 12:28

Ah, Urus dear chap. Are you still baiting that cantankerous old man in his water caravan?

[ursus] 08/12/2010 11:14

quite right, miss jones - up abt 12p

[typo56] 08/12/2010 11:01

Ex-dividend. I think that makes them up today does it not?
