yump,

I've done the same - SEIT just shot up nearly 5% this morning (yield aboput 13%!!!). Other renewables been showing signs of life recently - all with big discounts to NAV and on pretty big yields due to depressed share prices. Also my REITS have been doing well recently.

Nevertheless LGEN, PHNX and MNG remain amongst my largest holdings. Tempted to add to all on current weakness.

I too believe PHNX is 'toppy'. Unfortunately, I had that same belief on 1st May 2025 and sold 1200 PHNX at £5.92.

That said, £3k of the £7k cash recovered went on SDIP on 6th June buying 454 at £6.597 each.

I'm looking for dividend income and PHNX definitely provides that - but so does SDIP.

Net, on Friday evening and yesterday morning there was a discussion on the YLD thread about SDIP and the question was asked of me "where did you find SDIP?".

It appears that I gained the insight from you net, in October 2025 on this PHNX thread. Thank you net.

I have always been more comfortable buying LGEN as opposed to PHNX.

The reasoning behind my going into PHNX was the dividend yield pure and simple 11.2%
Similarly with ABDN the yield was 11.75%

A lot of uncertainty at times with regard to the dividends being maintained hence the opportunity for those brave or foolish enough to go in.

Nothing much has changed in my view

I still have doubts as to how the dividend is arrived at in the case of PHNX but here above 600 those doubts remain.

Still some way to go until we receive the perceived dividend and in line with another poster and past actions think the full year dividend should come in around 55.35

I have switched back out of PHNX back into LGEN now just holding a modest amount but still keeping my 31% float

Caution still the order of the day

Some good points being made on yield versus growth, or perhaps I should really say + growth. I am certainly guilty of doing quite a bit of yield surfing, but I do try to take account of growth opportunities. We know what a share has done in the past but need to focus on what it will do in the future. Also I am firmly in the camp that says yield is the return based on the current share price, not on what I paid for my shares. The question we should all be asking is which is the best option right now (subject to our risk appetite) - hang on to what I have or sell and move on.

PHNX has done really well recently but where will the share price go in 1m, 6m, 2y? Are we building a risk of retracement or do we have repricing in play where the high yield underpins the share price long term. If I knew the answer then I would fear Rachel Reeves even more than I do at the moment.

MD - not sure they understood the tone of your post which I see has a touch of humour alongside the "nice problem"

Hopefully the shareprice doesn't go up too much - at dividend yield 5% or so I'd have to start looking around / researching again - very inconvenient ;-)

But if anyone (Spud?) wants to criticise the thrust of the dilemma I don't think they see the advantages...

Lets assume that PHNX does rise as high as £10 + and you capital gain is 60-100% ( not done the maths) that's great but the gain is not guaranteed to be permanent.
What has been long term is PHNX's yield but at 5% that may well be only 55% of what could be available elsewhere.

Or in other words your income could rise by 81% by switching to another hi yielder instead.
Then the "very inconvenient " kicks in as to which share could be just as dependent over time for the yield - BUT and its a big but , if you have an 81% yield differential to play with then either the new share's yield has to fall a long way or PHNX would have to rise unbelievably for your income to fall.

I'm sure everyone can get it - the opportunity cost - of say NOT moving savings from a bank account paying 2% to one paying 3.6% , so why the reluctance to look at the current yield ?

Its where the long term income is best from NOW that matters , not what the yield was on your purchase , for an income investor.

Mister MD - a couple of points: -
Firstly surely your personal yield is based on whatever you paid for the shares.

Secondly a 5% yield would imply a £10.80 share price at current dividend levels where I must admit I'd be very happy to bank the capital gain in my ISa and SIPP.

In the last 10 year the yield has never fallen below around 6.2% (and during a large part of that time base rates were below 1%) which implies a ceiling of around £8.75 or lower on the share price.

From fool -

This FTSE 100 hidden gem now yields a stunning 9.9% a year, so should I buy more?
Simon Watkins
I first took notice of FTSE 100 insurance and investment giant Phoenix Group Holdings (LSE: PHNX) in March 2023.
My stock screener had flagged the stock because its yield had shot up to around 10%. By comparison, the average yield for the FTSE 100 was 3.7% at the time, and for the FTSE 250, it was 3.3%.
Its payout had hit this extraordinary level because its share price had dropped after the failure of Silicon Valley Bank. That ignited fears of a new financial crisis, pushing stock prices in the sector lower.
Given no change to a stock’s annual dividend, its yield moves in the opposite direction to its price.
Since then, the company’s consistently ultra-high yield has generated a lot of dividend income for me. It had also given me a significant share price gain before the US announced its swingeing tariffs on 2 April.
History has repeated itself, it seems to me. The resultant fall in Phoenix Group’s share price has pushed its yield up to a whopping 9.9%.
Does the business still look solid to me?
Ultimately, a firm’s earnings powers its share price and dividend higher.
I think a short-term risk to these for Phoenix Group could be a global recession that prompts customers to cancel policies.
However, consensus analysts’ estimates are that Phoenix Group’s earnings will grow by a stunning 91.6% a year to end-2027.
Such projections look well-supported to me by its 2024 results. These showed IFRS adjusted operating profit soaring 31% year on year to £825m. Operating cash generation leapt 22% to £1.403bn over the same period.
As a result, the firm increased its total cash generation target to £5.1bn from £4.4bn by end-2026. Its IFRS adjusted operating profit target was also upgraded to around £1.1bn from £900m by the same point.
How much passive income can be made?
Investors considering a holding of £11,000 – the average UK savings amount – in Phoenix Group would make £1,089 in first-year dividends. This would rise over 10 years on the same average yield to £10,890. And after 30 years on the same basis, the dividends would have increased to £32,670.
Crucially though, these returns could be far greater if the standard investment practice of ‘dividend compounding’ were used. This just involves reinvesting dividends paid by a stock straight back into it.
Using this technique the dividends would see the dividends rise to £18,484 after 10 years not £10,890. This is with the same average 9.9% yield being applied to the same £11,000 initial stake.
On the same basis, the dividends would increase to £200,815 rather than £32,670.
Adding in the £11,000 first investment and the Phoenix Group Holding would be worth £211,815.
So by that point, it would pay £20,970 a year in dividend income.
Should I buy more?
I believe the extremely strong forecast earnings growth will drive the dividend and share price much higher over time.
Indeed, a discounted cash flow analysis shows the fair value of the stock is now £8.18. Market forces could push it lower or higher, of course.
And analysts forecast that its dividend will rise to 55.8p in 2025, 57.3p in 2026, and 58.8p in 2027.
These would give respective yields of 10.2%, 10.5%, and 10.7%.

Nice to see the share price moving up but will not be adding at these levels.

For far too long these have been under the cosh aided and abetted by those self same analysts at financial titans such as RBC GS and MS.

And while I like the direction of late I am too much of a cynic to change horses

Dividend yield is my mantra and although it is gratifying to see the share price at these levels the yield is slowly losing its allure.

Still don't understand the metrics involved in this particular share so happy enough to wade in when my amateur algos fall in to line .

I have the current yield at 9.42% which is still top of the leader board for the basket of shares in question but a bit off the 11.1% I achieved a short couple of weeks ago ahead of the rise in the dividend payment

Will see how it unfolds over next few days as we approach Ex Dividend on 03/04 but for now quietly content.

The thing holding back PHNX was whether they could prove they could cut the mustard. They have proven that they can which makes both the share price and the yield highly attractive. I very much doubt the share price will have the same base jump that it did last year. IMO there wont be the same opportunity ex div.
