2wild - seems likely given that just a few months ago they said:
" First Interim dividend per share maintained at 22.0 pence. · The Directors intend to target a dividend of at least 72 pence per share for the year ending 31 March 2025." |
I paid 409p last week, it looked like a good price for a few hours.
If they recommend another 50p final dividend will be laughing all the way to the bank or Ex dividend date. |
Lol - you are correct. |
Except it was a buy by him and identical sale by his wife, so no nett effect 🤷a94;️ |
Rns - director buy at these crazy prices. |
FTSE approaching 9 K. Time for AUM inflows and LIO share price to play catch up ... |
As funds are withdrawn, shares need to be sold to reflect and so on. It appears to be happening across the markets other than the FTSE100.
Stability, with Trump and his pals around, may take some while. |
Depends where AUM outflows end ... Polar was one of the few to show an increase recently. Was thinking about a top-up here, but may see where JUP bottoms out and buy a few there, it's almost twice the size of LIO. Perhaps some M&A activity at some point ? |
What is the bottom do you think ? |
It seems to be in tandem with Jupiters poor results: 'Assets under management (AUM) decreased 13% to £45.3bn (31 December 2023: £52.2bn).'
And that with FTSE at all-time highs ... |
Why the drop ? |
can you tell me the name of that fund mgr ?!
(not sure if any UK fund mgr fits yr description !)
(LIO. recall. the annual perf. payments go to staff not to shareholders) |
Agree fund manager running their company share price with shareholders interest first |
Odd dip yesterday. Good for the buyback though, and less shares in issue as they are cancelled and not held in treasury. |
Interesting.. How do they make enough profit to pay the dividend? |
Now seems stuck in a 448 to 458P trading range. Final results from ABDN, JUP, MNG & PHNX due during next few weeks. Comments on current trading in 2025 will have some read across. |
It's on a nice little run now. Enjoy holding this one for recovery and collecting the dividends along the way. |
Up 17% from recent lowand 17% dividend yield. Interesting combination. Unlikely to see om another share anytime soon. |
Impressive turnaround here today. |
footsie
8613 ..up again.
==== St James Place notable increase in FUM.....news today. |
Well, + 10% bounce off 400p lows is a good start. |
It just struck me that some of these funds and their brokers are committing harikari, like a circular downward spiral. I just wish they had the gonads of the US counterparts. |
