Posted at 11/1/2025 14:34 by pierre oreilly 7348F, another lady also had to lie to get her high profile job - ironically the first specialist of the truth people at the beeb, BBC Verify, Mariana Spring. (And already being accused of being biased in their truth reporting, quelle surprise). And why aren't the beeb reporting the truth anyhow, without the truth dept?. Anyhow back to lgen. Plenty of posts giving reasons for (lgen's and others) fall. To get any meaning to a price move, the general ftse move has to be referenced. If the ftse fall 4% and lgen falls 3%, then that implies lgen's business is better than the rest (and vv). Doesn't help the 80p in your pocket, but it does give an insight into the business which just focussing on the share price alone doesn't. imv. |
Posted at 05/1/2025 11:16 by marksp2011 @LLBthe low return on UK is clear to see but why is the market undervalued? low return for low growth seems fair to me. there are def gold nuggets buried in the dross but as a cap weighted index why would anyone expect strong performance? US Mid Caps are larger than most of the FTSE100 constituents LGEN, PHNX and MNG are all bond proxies offering low single digit growth Aviva seems to have some legs but primarily in GI. XPS is probably the best bet. LGEN and MNG are both great trading stocks but as investments they are pretty poor. Comparing the Total Return, capital and divis of LGEN v FT100 I year +2.14 v 11.9% 3 year -1.08 v +7,64 5 year +1,1 v +5.27 Over 1 and 3 years, LGEN has underperformed a Money market fund in TR terms. That is truly dire. Over that 3 year period, the share price has been between 307 and 207 so plenty of trading opportunities Just for completeness Aviva v XPS total return over 1, 3 and 5 years AV. v XPS I year 18% v 50 3 Year 18% v 38 5 year 11% v 23 I really struggle with why PIs hold LGEN/MNG. It is a bad investment, worse than a money market fund I have noticed people buying low and making a good capital profit but, they dont recycle the capital and then top up again when the share price drops. All that leaves then with is a greater and greater exposure to a bad investment You can make decent money trading in dogs. My current capital commitment in dec is £4500 but I have roughly 2500 shares by buying low and then selling to get back my investment leaving the profit in shares all done trading blocks of 2k shares but it really isn't a game for anyone with a pacemaker fitted. :) |
Posted at 29/12/2024 15:48 by netcurtains Its true that economic policy does affect LGEN share price (eg LGEN peaked during Labours boom years and then went sideways during the Conservative malaise). But as investors its not about PARTIES its about specific policies and specific "events/news" items. Being a leftie or a rightie or a liberal is pretty much meaningless when it comes to LGENs share price.2025 will not be about Republicanism it will be about specific new US policies. It will be about what MUSK and TRUMP will actually do - NOT the fact that they are republicans. If they get peace in UKRAINE and or MIDDLE EAST we could find mini-UK stock market boom and thus a significant rise in LGEN.... |
Posted at 12/12/2024 12:52 by cyberian I feel at a loss to understand why there is not a stronger forward momentum here with such a strong management team in place and range of services encouraging substantial growth. The latter was reinforced in their 4th December presentation, and with Eric Adler fully on board (ex PRU)I feel the Asset management team will make improved headway over the coming months and beyond. The dividend yield is assured and even at a more realistic share price presents a very attractive return. However, when one looks at the deserved momentum at IAG (B.A) where the share price is riding higher every day there could always be a risk of a major event disrupting growth and profits. Also the income yield has a lot of catching up to what exists here at LGEN, but the market may well see the benefits in the likes of LGEN, Aviva etc.in due course. The latter two and a few other selective high yielders appear a safer hold in ones portfolio. Time will tell!! |
Posted at 05/12/2024 13:34 by mcunliffe1 Or, marktime1231, that £1.35bn could be given back to us as a special dividend.It would be worth just under 23p per share. That compares with the most recent dividend payment of almost 6p a share. I would then be almost £4000 better off - guaranteed. If the share price was lifted by 23p as a result of the buyback it would place the share price back where it was in the Jan - May 2024 period. That would not be guaranteed of course. When you think the shares have gone up by approx. 6.27% in the last two trading days, based only on the recent good news why blow the money on a share BB just now? Wait to see if the share price dribbles downwards again and then buyback for more shares. |
Posted at 05/12/2024 12:50 by marktime1231 A bit confused by reports that not-so Fat Boy Bailey has been heralding four x 0.25% interest rate cuts next year. Isn't that in contrast to the data showing inflation holding up and other economists expecting just two or maybe three cuts. Why would he change his tune?How will that affect LGEN and investment in general? LGENs deep-diving presentation has done the trick, with the good news that there is surplus capital to deploy on a more serious buyback next year. I wonder how quickly they will get around to deep-diving the other businesses. Eric Adler brought in to run Asset Management has only started this week and cannot pretend to know the business deeply yet. Laura Mason who has side-stepped from the private markets side of investment to Retail has not yet received regulatory approval. We might just have to wait to final results on 12 March for next update. Although Simoes seems to be doing things his own way and may want to drop another good news rns on us around new year when the Cala deal completes with cash receipt of £1.35B. A buyback approaching that scale would send LGEN share price through the roof. |
Posted at 08/11/2024 10:09 by alphorn The LGen share price seems to be going nowhere yet now yielding 9.35%. Seems an opportunity for option writing; yet no posts on the subject.- write puts at a lower share price (strike) say 200p and bank the premium. The risk is no different to buying the shares but without the capital outlay. - or, buy the shares and write call options to boost the yield. Bank the dividend plus the premium. Seems a plain vanilla thread, what about these opportunities? |
Posted at 24/10/2024 14:55 by pj84 This is an investment forum for investors who wish to take control of their own investments and if anyone on here is naive enough to NOT realise that both the capital value and the dividends of any share can both rise and fall. They shouldn’t be investing in individual shares.I am not sure who these supposed naïve investors are, that you are trying to protect by being pedantic and considering Goldgeezer’s original post as a purely factual statement and I doubt if there are any such naïve investors reading this forum. There are no certainties when it comes to investing which is always dependent on unknown events in the future and even investing in government gilts by buying at issue and holding to redemption which is probably the closest you can get to a completely risk free investment, is still not entirely without risk and I am sure we can both think of events where the future interest payments or the final redemption could be affected by an unknown event no matter how unlikely. In my view, given the current level of interest rates which are predicted to fall, I believe the current share price and dividend represents an excellent time to invest on a long-term view and whilst I hope both the share price and dividends do increase over the next 7 plus years. I have no problem with the general thrust of Goldgeezer’s statement that even if they don’t this will still be a relatively low risk investment even if there is no growth in the share price or the dividend, current shareholders are still likely to be well rewarded over the longer term. |
Posted at 24/10/2024 00:19 by pj84 There are a lot of people invested here because of the dividends including yourself anhar and we all know you aren't interested in the capital value, as your philosophy is entirely income focussed. You are of course correct in your statement of fact.However, I think most people take the view that on balance, investing in what they regard as high quality shares where the share price has fallen (like a lot of high quality UK shares ) leading to above average yields, it is reasonable to hope that over the next 7 years the share price will in fact be higher and that the dividends will have grown over that period but even if the share price remains flat and the dividend has remained the same, then Goldgeezer’s original comment is true that you would still have doubled your investment (caveat skinny’s and yf23_1 comments both of which I upticked). Nothing in investing is guaranteed particularly over 7 years and LGEN could go bust. But that is why we aren't invested in fixed income as we hope both the dividends and the capital value will increase. However, like skinny my view is that Goldgeezer’s comment is a valid one Ceteris Paribus and the investment philosophy is similar to mine and differing investment philosophy's both make markets and create opportunities for all of us. |
Posted at 21/10/2024 06:33 by garycook Correct. A 2% increase in the dividend next 12 months is 21.04p giving a 9.15% yield @ 230p.So not to far out ! Maybe LGEN share price was 226p, when the article was written ! |
