For those of us happy to buy and hold LGEN

We owe rbc a big vote of thanks

Takes away any chance of a sudden surge in the share price similar to the hatchet job done on PHNX

I am sticking with it and adding as and when more funds become available

14 months ago I bought my first block of LGEN shares in the SIPP I had just moved to Interactive Investor.

I subsequently bought more blocks and ultimately paid out £35,000 including the stamp duty and transaction fees.

I find that at today's share price of 226.1 I am slightly underwater - my average share price being 228.91. However, as I (auto) reinvest the dividends my growth in cost versus current value of holding is 6.07%

As marktime points out in #6050 it is important to buy when a share price drop is provided. I failed in that regard on 12 June 2024 when I bought the last £10k at 229.06p

Overall, I am happy with that 6% growth over the 14 month period.

RBC warn next month's H1s will be lacklustre and says the pension transfer business faces headwinds, target price cut a hefty 50p to 245p. Somewhat premature to call the party over but it has knocked 6p off the share price since this time yesterday.

No help from CPI which is steady at 2%, it appears BoE MPC is more interested in measures such as wage growth, service sector prices and something called core inflation rather than the actual target it has set itself. I am less confident they will do the right thing and cut rates on 1 Aug, and now expect them to hold until mid-September when the Fed is deemed likely to make its first move.

6p off at a stroke! Strangely what I expect the interim dividend to be when announced on 7 Aug. The already promised dividend progression means we are heading back towards 10% yield. I also expect Simoes to report progress on things like Cala disposal to try and lift some of the gloom from the strategy day.

Looking for an opportunity to trade a cycle and get your average holding price down a bit, this could be on the way.

I dont see is possible for me the predict the share price movement in UK FTSE. My only hope is the possible income coming from high yielding stocks like LGEN. At this price the yield in 2024 is 9,4%. Unbelievable with inflation now dropping to the 2% mark. GLA

Yump, if you buy an income share, you are buying an income stream. If that income grows, all other things being equal the cost of purchasing it (the share price) should rise to reflect the increasing value of the income stream. The converse expectation applies in the case of falling profits and a reducing income stream.

Take a look at the dividend paid 10 years ago, and the dividend which is currently being paid, and you may begin to get a glimmer of understanding as to why there are posters here who are disappointed that the share price has remained flat.

It really is not very difficult to get your head around if you have a basic understanding of the principles underlying the valuation of income producing assets.

Legal & General: share price down, UBS lowers guidance
June 13, 2024 at 04:31 pm

The share price is down -2% after UBS lowered its target price.

The Legal & General group yesterday announced a £200 million share buyback for 2024 as part of its plan to increase returns to shareholders.

Following this announcement, UBS confirms its neutral recommendation on the stock and lowers its target price to 240p (from 258p), which represents upside potential of only 4%.

UBS highlights the fall in EPS, with no increase in shareholders' total return on capital. The realization of private assets is essential in the coming transition period," says the research firm.

The Group plans to create a single asset management division and revise its capital allocation policy. Improved returns are targeted, with a compound annual growth rate in core earnings of 6-9%.

No it's not. And specially not in the context of the question asked. Yield when quoted in fundamentals is as a percentage of the current share price. So the question asked, is will the yield promised by board be higher than promised due to share price drop or will the percentage payout be the same meaning a lower cash payout.

The share price is behaving in line with the sector today, so if there are any leaks or rumours about the strategic plan, they can’t be that bad.
Personally I’d like to see a buy back with cancellations.
Sure it won’t help the share price, but it’s worked after some persistence at AV. Share price and divi up, and sustainable.
Perhaps a quarterly dividend, as well.

"if" OIL share prices are going down than possibly insurance/pension share prices should be going up

This is the graph for SHEL -
It does look like our time is approaching

". . . My targets for 2028 are 370p LGEN . . . "

Based on what exactly? It certainly can't be historical performance. So, what do you think is going to deliver a 50% uplift in the LGEN share price?
