Not sure about the logic of moaning that the share price of LGEN is flattish over 5 years. Good. It is an income stock not a growth stock, so what are you here for? It has fully delivered on the excellent income promise we are invested for.

There has of course been considerable price volatility over the five years. Occasionally under 200p, over 300p a couple of times. If you are moaning that the share price is lower than when you bought then trade your average down! In the space of a month it has been down at 215p then up to 240p ... what did you do about it? Whinging about it as though it is all someone else's fault doesn't get you anywhere.

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!!

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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 !

netcurtains, re the comment with II share prices at 4:30pm.

I notice the large jump in portfolio value too, it's simply because II puts the share price at the mid price of any auction for each stock you hold. LGEN, VOD, PRU, all of the large companies end with a five minute (or sometimes extended) auction period. If you always find LGEN higher then it suggests someone puts in bids at a much higher price than the closing price, knowing that in the auction they'll still get them traded at the auction price. Usually by 16:40 it settles, I take closing prices to value my portfolio at 16:45. I assure you it's nothing to do with dividends or yields.

PS - If you use II and look at LGEN share price between 4:30pm and 4:37pm I have noticed that LGEN profit column goes right up (and some other stocks)...

I think I have worked this out. In those FIVE OR SO MINUTES they add the dividend yield on so you get to see what your profit would be if that dividend yield was paid today...

Its nice to see.

Then by about 4:40pm it all goes.. Alas...
