Or does that make it ex divi today?

[speedsgh] 05/12/2012 15:13

I think this answers my query :o) -


speedsgh - 4 Dec'12 - 15:42 - 400 of 401 0 0 edit

"The dividend will be paid on 7 January 2013 to holders of ordinary shares on the register at the close of business on 12 December 2012."

That makes ex-div date Mon 10 Dec. Isn't it unusual for a share to go ex-div on a Mon? I thought ex-div was usually on Weds with record date on Fridays?

A lot of resistance at this price but it's starting to push up against it. If it manages to get over then the chart says straight to 200p. We'll see and fingers crossed. Push!!!

An interim dividend of 2.79 pence per share has been declared since the financial reporting date and so has not been included as a liability in these financial statements. The dividend will be paid on 7 January 2013 to holders of ordinary shares on the register at the close of business on 12 December 2012.

The Trustees of the May Gurney Group Limited Employee Share Ownership Trust and the May Gurney Integrated Services plc Employee Benefit Trust have both waived their rights to receive any dividends in respect of shares held in the Trusts.

Excellent results, saved me a walk, time to top up for the New Year.

[paulypilot] 04/12/2012 09:23

All looks fine to me. Shares look cheap, low per & great yield. Pp.

[greenroom78] 04/12/2012 08:42

I am. I sold a 1/3rd yesterday as a bit of a hedge against anything nasty but they look pretty good so I'll be looking to pick them up again if I can.

[fangorn2] 04/12/2012 08:38

Half year results for anyone following..

[tamboerskloof] 22/11/2012 16:03

What on earth is going on at Trowse! I shall have to have a walk down there and have a word, I wonder if the results will produce a surprise Christmas box for us or not, whichever the case may be. Not long to go now.

[melody9999] 02/11/2012 19:33

certainly right there shammy. this is on its way to 200s prior to results on 4th December. Almost 5% divi too and interim ex-div date will be in December I guess.

[shammytime] 18/10/2012 11:00

This will rise sharply, blink and you'll miss 20%

[salpara111] 18/10/2012 10:03

Was going to hop in but it appears to have stalled so will sit on the sidelines for a bit.

Interesting tech article here
just out.........

[paulypilot] 15/10/2012 19:08

Cheers Greenroom!
I also bought more today.
As long as there is no more (significant) bad news, then it must surely re-rate to a PER of say 10 (at least) in time. That implies a target price of 250p+, very good upside from 145p today.

And we get a 6%+ divi yield whilst we wait, even better!

Best thing of all is, in my opinion, there is no risky debt. Just finance leases which are ring-fenced and locked into customer contracts. So even if there is some more bad news to come out, the company should not be under any threat of going under, and we as shareholders can ride it out.

A PER of under 6 prices-in more bad news, yet the last recent trading statement was in line with expectations.

I'm happy to hold these for a year or two, collect the divis, and hopefully make a nice profit on the capital too.

PP.

It is welcome to melody9999 - I've bought mine now (Some last week and some today).

Thanks to PaulyPilot for putting this back on my radar after I looked last year (thankfully I didn't buy back then!).

[melody9999] 15/10/2012 17:29
