would sooner they reduced their debt than paid out quite such a large divi.

I'm obviously out of step with the majority opinion - so I'll hang on for the time being and ride the trend

Manx Telecom yield ‘very attractive’ -

Isle of Man telecommunications company Manx Telecom (MANX) is delivering consistently and the share price is moving towards a rerating.

Liberum analyst Jason Holden retained his ‘buy’ recommendation but increased the target price from 214p to 236p. The shares were broadly flat at 213.7p yesterday.

‘A solid set of results for full-year 2015 which are generally in line with forecasts. The core domestic business continues to deliver predictable cash flows and supports the progressive dividend policy and yield,’ he said.

‘Through establishing a consistent record of delivery, we see the share price continuing its steady upwards rerating. We raise our target price 10% to 236p and view the current yield of c.5% as very attractive.’

"...solid results above expectations in terms of profit and EPS...."

hmmmm not really so from where I'm standing

far too many references to exceptional one offs - mostly in the previous year - and a worrying collapse in some areas of business

I'm considering selling

I tucked a few of these in my sipp at £1.62. It's a steady company paying a good dividend......which I take in shares. One to keep for the longish term.

Mentioned in latest issue of Citywire Income Investor.

High Yield or Dividend Growth -

Scott also owns Manx Telecom (MANX), which only listed in February last year. ‘You want three things from an investment in telecommunications: a strong position, a sensible regulator, and a robust macro background. Manx ticks all three boxes. The Isle of Man has seen 31 years of consecutive gross domestic product growth and it operates under a zero-corporate-tax regime. Manx has roughly a 75% market share in its core telecoms markets, but works with a regulator that understands the benefits of a company investing for their customers.’

Can't see any major news to explain the sudden activity...

Manx Telecom appoints Global Solutions Business Development Manager -

[trekker60] 14/10/2015 10:39

Cooling off a bit now. Has done this a few times before - a brief jump for no obvious reason and then back down again. Maybe just an accumulation of various recent bits of good news, e.g. major stakes in the company and recommendations as a relatively 'safe haven' share with solid prospects? A long-term ISA account hold for me unless I see any firm reason to sell.

[walter walcarpets] 14/10/2015 10:14

mmmm....interesting. Love this quiet BB. When it gets busy, I'll sell.

CWA1: Agree. From what I recall from previous posts by others better placed than me, the Pokerstars contract issue was one of the few significant 'known unknowns' hanging over Manx.
So far, so good then. This one seems to be doing pretty much what I originally bought it for (at £1.62) as a long-term ISA account hold 16 months ago - steady performance, bit of share price growth and decent income/yield. Long may it continue!
