Scottish & Newcastle Share Discussion Threads

Exciting stuff! What I find strange is that back at the start of 2003, S&N and SAB were about the same size. Both have since followed a strategy of acquiring brewers all over the world. But if you index their share prices (Jan 2003 = 100) then S&N is still close to 100 but SAB is around 250. What magic does SAB have that is missing from S&N?

Scottish & Newcastle gained 11-3/4 pence at 512 as Merrill Lynch upgraded the stock to 'buy' from 'neutral'. Merrill Lynch pointed out that of the European brewers, S&N has been the least acquisitive in the past two years and it has the highest dividend payout ratio and dividend yield in the sector.
Also supporting its bullish stance on S&N, Merrill pointed out that with its 4.4 bln stg market cap, S&N remains a viable bid target for any of the brewing heavyweights.

[coogar] 26/1/2006 22:51

p.s. does anyone know what happened to TokyoGirl/ She never did achieve her 445p target poor thing, but today I got my 514p :)

[coogar] 26/1/2006 20:40

PoorBobby

I have no idea what he has to say any longer because I filtered him ages ago. Judging by the number of his posts today though, I would guess that he is more than a little upset LOL What a loser!

Btw, I bought SCTN @ 368p so still enjoy a 5.6% (and steadily rising) dividend yield at my purchase price and would therefore probably not even sell @ 600p

[bigbobjoylove] 26/1/2006 17:08

APF finished up 5.5%

[bigbobjoylove] 26/1/2006 11:50

blimey check that APF jumped 20 secs after that post.

Heres the link to find breakout stocks



why hold a share for ages when you make £££s in a few days when it breaks.

[bigbobjoylove] 26/1/2006 11:47

APF a similar candidate.

[bigbobjoylove] 26/1/2006 11:46

hope theres a t/o may get my redundancy!! yipppeeee.

Good breakout trade,well done if anyone got in.Filterx finds breakout stocks if your a premium subscriber.

[peart] 26/1/2006 09:31

Coogar - i agree with your view - my view is 495 was a positive breakout on this share on a technical basis.

[coogar] 25/1/2006 19:38

The recently confirmed breakout above 492p is significant in my view and I haven't been wrong on this share for quite some time now (2+ years?)

My previous target of 514p (since reduced to 485p) is now easily within reach and if that is achieved and held then 550p would appear feasible, although I maintain my HOLD stance.
