I've been buying in here, this week too. LT Prospsects have to be good for a company with a market leading position & brand in what is a growing market sector. The world's their oyster really in the coming years, if they play their cards right. Expecting to see a big increased dividend in the upcoming results, Stockopedia forecasting 7.27p for 2016 and 7.98 for 2017, giving a forward yield of just under 4% at current prices.

A very fitting tag I think.

[diku] 28/7/2015 12:35

180p anybody?...

[adelwire2] 15/7/2015 17:12

Any broker upgrades downgrades on Saga. Seems to be becoming reliable little earner

Holding up extremely well - obv a holders rather than a traders stk - think it will gently rise - pension release means holidays, cruises, cars, holiday insurance, car insurance for pensioners

Saga plc

Saga completes Bennetts acquisition

1 July 2015

Acquisition highlights

-- Saga has paid GBP26.26 million in cash for the entire share capital of Bennetts

-- Bennetts is the most customer-endorsed bike insurer in the market, with over 220,000 customers

-- Saga already provides insurance services for 20,000 customers with motorbikes

-- 75% of Bennetts' customers are aged over 40, with the UK's over 50s accounting for nearly a third of all spending on motorcycling activities in 2014

Saga plc ("Saga") today announces that it has completed the acquisition of Bennetts, the UK's premier motorbike insurer. The acquisition further broadens the range of insurance solutions offered to customers.

Bennetts, which Saga agreed to acquire from BGL Group earlier this year, provides insurance cover for more than 220,000 customers. Approximately half are within Saga's target demographic, allowing Bennetts to benefit from access to Saga's database of 10.8m people. In turn, Saga will benefit from further cross selling opportunities for its existing products and services.

Bennetts fits well with Saga's increased focus on digital orientated businesses, with a successful online social network, 'bikesocial', that sees over 300,000 visitors per month.

Lance Batchelor, Group CEO of Saga, commented:

"We are delighted to have completed the acquisition of Bennetts, enhancing our excellent range of insurance products and services. The over 50s' growing share of the motorbike market in the UK makes Bennetts an excellent fit with Saga's current insurance offering. Bennetts' model of providing insurance solutions via a panel is also in line with our cash generative, capital efficient strategy, and will aid our ambition to drive growth through our high quality insurance division."

SAGA is holding up well so far through all this Greek rubbish!

[optomistic] 29/6/2015 16:22

Sold a short while ago 216.39.
Would be tempted to go back in again at a much better price...regardless of Tim Pethic's sale!
Edit my sale price. Actually it was 219.39.
Hope my varifocals are back from repairers soon. LOL

[don leshone] 28/6/2015 09:37

I took 218, which is a good return on 12 months investment, plus a small divi cheque still to come. I agree with the comments re: Tim Pethick!

[optomistic] 27/6/2015 18:53

NR I missed the 219 as I had to go out in the afternoon and didn't think it would go back up to that way in the afternoon. A sell is on the books for Monday morning...unless of course something drastic happens to the share price

[nik rosa] 27/6/2015 18:35

Opt - I agree. I have just gone through the door. 185 to 219 in one year will do for me (plus the free shares and a small divi). Better companies to invest in, IMHO.
NR

[optomistic] 26/6/2015 09:01

PDMR Tim Pethic acquires 1.08 mill shares for free and sells the lot. Does that inspire confidence in the company or what!
If he can't hold SAGA stock when it's for free that's got to put me and a lot of investors closer to the door.

[luckymouse] 25/6/2015 02:36

I calc FY1 at 234 & FY2 at 253

And that's still at a discount to the sector avg PE

Pension withdrawal & expanding retirement demographic is on Sagas side

LONDON (Alliance News) - Saga PLC on Tuesday said it is on track to meet its targets for the year and confirmed Andrew Goodsell will become its non-executive chairman from July 1.


Saga, which is holding its annual general meeting Tuesday, said it is on track to meet its strategic objectives for the financial year to the end of January 2016, including the launch of its motor insurance panel by summer this year and securing regulatory approval for the acquisition of Bennett Bikes.


The FTSE 250-listed provider of products and services for the over-50s market also said it is considering options to acquire new shipping capacity in order to expand its cruise business.


The group said that, as it had planned at the time of its initial public offering, Andrew Goodsell will become the non-executive chairman of the company from July 1, taking over from Lance Batchelor.


"We have started the year well, with strong trading across all business divisions. This performance is in line with our expectations and we remain on track to deliver on our growth target for the year," said Batchelor.


Shares in Saga were down 0.7% to 213.50 pence on Tuesday.
