Posted at 12/10/2024 10:12 by loganair In real terms for the QIA to have broken even the Sainsburys share price would need to be around £10 with a dividend of circa 50p per share.Investing in many UK companies, in real terms and often even in nominal terms the investor loses money each and every year therefore what is the point of investing in UK companies and in the UK in general? |
Posted at 11/10/2024 16:37 by loganair 4.85% dividend doesn't beat inflation as true inflation is north of 5%, while grocery inflation is still running at north of 10%. |
Posted at 11/10/2024 14:21 by redbaron10 I've just viewed it as a top up opportunity. 4.85% dividend beats inflation and it's a boring defensive play to pad out the portfolio.It's been around 120 years so it's not going anywhere. |
Posted at 10/7/2024 08:45 by loganair Traditional supermarkets battle Lidl and Aldi for market share by KATIE WILLIAMS:If you look at the share price history of the listed UK supermarkets, you will see that none of them have ever recovered their pre-2008 valuations. A big reason for that is the growth in popularity of Lidl and Aldi. The German discounters first arrived in the UK in the 1990s, but have grown enormously in popularity over the past decade and a half. They now have a combined market share of 18.1%, according to data from Kantar World Panel. This has hit Morrisons and Asda the hardest, according to Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell. He points out that both companies are “saddled with debt after their respective takeovers”. Mould adds that Tesco and Sainsbury’s are holding their own when it comes to market share, but suggests this doesn’t negate the impact the German discounters have had on their margins. He says: “Their margins are not expanding and remain in the low single digits, [revealing] how competitive this business really is.” Changing consumer habits have also created a more challenging environment for traditional supermarkets over the past decade. The UK has seen a shift away from the big weekly shop, as households instead opt for shopping little and often. This change in behaviour means consumers are more likely to visit several stores over the course of a week, shopping around for their favourite products and the best deals. The cost-of-living crisis has only accelerated this trend, as highlighted by a recent research report from the House of Commons Library. The report writes that “46% of adults in Great Britain reported an increase in their cost of living in March 2024 compared to a month earlier”, with 89% pointing to increased food prices as the main reason for this. It adds that 49% were shopping around more as a result, while 38% were spending less on food shopping and essentials. Have UK supermarket stocks delivered decent investor returns? Nevertheless, it isn’t all bad news. We’re now just over halfway through the year, and Tesco and Marks & Spencer have posted decent returns so far in 2024. Both stocks are up by around 5% year-to-date, broadly in line with the overall FTSE 100. Tesco paid a full-year dividend of 12.10p (a yield of 3.93%). Meanwhile, Marks & Spencer’s 3p dividend represents a yield of 1.03%. Sainsbury’s share price performance, on the other hand, has been pretty poor. It is down by around 14% year-to-date. The company announced a full-year dividend of 13.10p (a yield of 5.12%), but it is unlikely to be enough to entice investors given the poor share price performance. They can earn the same yield by simply putting their cash in the bank. Chris Beckett, head of equity research at Quilter Cheviot, says the supermarket remains “considerably smaller than Tesco, and in the high-volume, low margin world of food retail, scale is a critical factor and the ingredient for success”. Commentators also point out that Sainsbury’s non-food business (including Argos) has experienced a slowdown of late, and is letting the side down. Mould says: “It’s beginning to have a lot of similarities to the Marks & Spencer of old, running a two-pronged business with one engine constantly spluttering. Marks & Spencer has finally fixed its engine problem and is now racing away, which might give some hope to Sainsbury’s situation.” If interest rates fall later this year and inflation continues to slow, supermarkets will be hoping to see shoppers putting more items in their baskets. This could create a tailwind going forward. |
Posted at 03/7/2024 10:02 by philanderer ‘Buy’ Sainsbury’s, says JefferiesDeclines in non-food sales at Sainsbury’s (SBRY) should have hit their trough as an improving consumer environment drives sales, says Jefferies. Analyst Frederick Wild retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 300p on the Citywire Elite Companies AA-rated supermarket, which tumbled 2.9% to 250.4p on Tuesday. It reported like-for-like sales up 2.7% in the first quarter compared to 4.8% last quarter, and 9.8% the same time last year. Grocery sales were up but general merchandising lagged. However, the group still expects retail underlying operating profit of between £1.01bn and £1.06bn for the full year. ‘An exceptionally strong grocery performance at Sainsbury’s in the first quarter was diluted by a more downbeat delivery in the general merchandise businesses, particularly Argos,’ said Wild. ‘This should represent the trough, which feels well understood by the market given the shares’ recent underperformance. Wild added that sunnier weather in recent weeks ‘should underpin sequential acceleration, with the chief drivers through the rest of the year being an improving consumer environment and an easing comparative’. citywire.com |

Posted at 20/6/2024 10:22 by loganair I hope this £250m is paid as a one off Special Dividend of 10p + normal dividend, rather then further Share Buy Backs. |
Posted at 02/6/2024 09:22 by loganair New minor risk - Insider selling:There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: UK£765k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk: ..Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. ..Payout ratio: 223% ..Cash payout ratio: 129% Minor Risks: ..Large one-off items impacting financial results. ..Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (0.4% net profit margin). ..Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (UK£765k sold). |
Posted at 17/3/2023 11:04 by loganair Something’s wrong with the case for investing in Sainsbury’s for its shareholder dividend, but the stock still has its attractions:City analysts following supermarket chain J Sainsbury expect the dividend to decline by just over 7% next year. And if that happens, it will be a blow for shareholders who are in the stock for income. But why is it likely to happen? After all, those same analysts have pencilled in modest growth in revenue for the current trading year and for the following period to March 2024. Earnings on the slide: However, the reason for the decline looks like it’s because the level of the dividend is tied to earnings. In last year’s full-year report, the directors said the dividend payout ratio was running at around 53% of underlying earnings. And they had an ambition to raise it to 60%. But earnings are on the slide, by just over 3% this trading year and by almost 8% the next. So the analysts look like they are tracking those declining profits lower with their dividend predictions. This is not good news. When entering into dividend-led investments, I look for rising financial figures. And that means identifying a stream of rising dividends backed by a business capable of delivering annual upticks in revenue, earnings and cash flow. For me then, J Sainsbury now fails that fundamental test. Profit margins are caught in a pincer squeeze between rising costs and pressure to keep selling prices down. For example, staff wages have been rising. And cash-strapped customers can choose to shop elsewhere if Sainsbury’s prices become too high for them. The company is facing the problem of competition head on. And it price-matched rival supermarket Aldi on around 300 products. But such initiatives tend to bear down on profits. And that means lower dividends for shareholders given the current dividend policy. This is not the dividend progression I’m looking for, it’s dividend regression. The yield remains high: But there are positives in the business. On Tuesday, the company announced a deal to buy the freeholds of 21 of its supermarkets for just under £431m. The stores are currently leased from investment vehicle Highbury and Dragon and are among 26 Sainsbury’s supermarkets in the portfolio. But the company already owns 49% of Highbury and Dragon. And the new deal will see J Sainsbury buy the remaining 51% from Supermarket Income REIT. The move looks set to reduce ongoing rent costs. And the directors plan to sell the remaining five stores in the portfolio. But the benefits may prove to be small overall. And that’s because the company operates more than 600 supermarkets and about 800 convenience stores. Meanwhile, even with the dividend set to decline, the forward-looking yield is still an eye-catching 4.8% for the current trading year. But it may go higher if the stock continues to fall in this difficult market. As I write, the share price is 256p. But any supermarket stock making it into my portfolio must have a current yield of 5%, or higher. And there must also be dividend growth forecast ahead. For me, that kind of return is needed to compensate for the risks of holding the shares. After all, supermarket businesses are low-margin, high-volume enterprises. And they face stiff competition, which adds risks for investors. |
