R&q Insurance Share Discussion Threads

Acquisition this morning looks sensible: good price and complementary. Something needs to kick-start interest in these shares.

Interesting, CQS (UK) LLP have just taken out a CFD for over 4 million shares of 7% of the equity.

Bought a few today, although spread is 90/92 got them for 90.45. probably answers the question about how the directors got them for 90p.

B shares scheme is a bit odd+ an expensive way to do an interim dividend. No doubt driven by the tax position of major shareholders.

I guess the overhang has got to clear first though.

[topvest] 09/8/2010 19:48

Very surprised that we only got 1p on the price from this announcement, particularly given the recent fall. Anyway this year seems to be going well which is encouraging.

[envirovision] 29/7/2010 11:39

on a forecast eps of 6.8 they do seem expensive still. The spread and liquidity looks dreadfull.

What was the nail in the coffin to make you sell Simon?

I bought 10,000 of these in March as I thought they were on the turn, then found it almost impossible to sell them without a massive haircut, got out eventually at a loss.

[envirovision] 29/7/2010 10:22

Someone got shot of several million of them yesterday and for no more than 75p say no more.

curse of the IC comic strikes again?

[envirovision] 05/7/2010 08:30

still on the watch list, ay see a rise due to the IC buying but wont be sucked into that.

[18bt] 05/7/2010 08:22

Made a small purchase today following rec in Friday's IC. Suspect this could be a rocky ride due to nature of the investment portfolio, but ultimately they will benefit hugely from any pick up in yields.

Not sure why these went down today, when they've announced a 7p +5% / annum dividend strategy and some interesting initiatives.

[simon gordon] 29/4/2010 07:54

Looks like a rock solid growth strategy with a rising dividend.

Numis can hopefully raise their profile and enable improved liquidity.

[topvest] 28/4/2010 21:50

Numis appointed. Good news I think, as Numis are well regarded.

[topvest] 22/3/2010 09:07

Yes, I was holding off before getting into these. Took the plunge today. Looks like they have weathered the financial storm well. The insurance sector is quite undervalued at the moment.

[simon gordon] 22/3/2010 08:23

Pretty good showing:

"Owing to a more favourable claims experience than anticipated in the Group's
Insurance Company Division, the Board now expects that the Group's result, on a consolidated basis, will be materially better than the previous guidance of a pre-tax loss for the year of up to GBP5m. The Board now anticipates the final pre tax result for the year will be close to break even."
