03/7/2020 00:03 | I think in the next tidy up this could be out of the 100. | dbaker1980 | |
02/7/2020 23:43 | EJ - I don't think the Co is in a rut. I would agree the share price is, however, the Company's performance is good in the current climate. Much as it hurts me to say it, I think that passing on the div is probably the correct thing to be doing particularly as gearing is on the high side. | ianood | |

02/7/2020 20:25 | If anyone at ADVFN is reading this, the snippet above on DS Smith needs updated....their annual revenue is £6bn, not £2bn.....let's not kick a man when he is down! | lyndon b | |

02/7/2020 15:05 | #3460, "I daresay that the well paid managers in their elevated positions do not really understand the importance of dividends from boring companies." Well, EJ, they pay lip service to it - "The Board considers the dividend to be a very important component of shareholder returns............. | jeffian | |
02/7/2020 13:58 | Back in December when they published their H1 results, their H1 profit was +30 yr on yr. Full year results out this morning was +5%. Clearly there are multiple reasons for profits not holding up to the same extent, but I was thinking overall it would have been in better shape given the increase in e commerce. I bought in 2 days ago hoping for a continuation of their H1 results, but that never came to pass and the dividend announcement was the final nail in the coffin. Now all the analysts are predicting doom and gloom...thanks for the insight once the horse has bolted! Final comment.....the trend was downwards just before the end of play yesterday and it did get me thinking if the news was going to be good or not..... | lyndon b | |
02/7/2020 13:56 | Bought a pile, just over 290p, a tad over cautious on not paying a divi but I take it as a temporary measure, onwards & upwards, a good buying pull back imo dyor as usual | ny boy | |
02/7/2020 13:49 | And have the directors & senior management taken a pay cut to mirror the loss of dividend by the owners of the company? You know which way to vote at the AGM (if you are on the register of course). Irene. | irenekent | |
02/7/2020 13:44 | 5,000 just added. | dondee | |
02/7/2020 13:43 | Down nearly 30p today, and no real substantial reason for that. I expect a reasonable bounce from here. | dondee | |
02/7/2020 11:25 | We saw all that earlier on when the interim was axed. Most of the beneficiaries here - if we can call them that - will be ordinary citizens with pensions to try to grow & so on not just 'wealthy individuals'. Cutting dividends for politics' sake adds to the downward spiral, of contraction & deflation. If there is a 'special dividend' it'd better be a big one. | dogwalker | |
02/7/2020 10:41 | I agree with you mleedslad. A lot of companies, I suspect, feel it's politically imprudent to take the government's cash, reduce capex, lay off employees, and then be seen to fill the coffers of the "wealthy". | alan@bj | |
02/7/2020 10:36 | Its all about public image. They could have a special divi when all this covid hype is over | leedslad001 | |
02/7/2020 10:28 | Quite so jeffian. The decision here, to axe, seems unnecessary. The future isn't so unknowable for the company not to know that it will continue to peddle cardboard enough to maintain the model its owners bought into. I think the decision to axe was a bit 'flimsy' or 'damp'. | dogwalker | |
02/7/2020 10:15 | #3447, I really, really hope that they don't go down the share buyback route. Yes, I understand the argument about less shares in circulation boosting NAV and earnings per share but, time and again, that doesn't get reflected in the share price. You can't dictate to Mr. Market. The worst example recently was Whitbread which, having sold its Costa Coffee business 'returned' £2.5bn(!) to shareholders via buyback - equivalent to about £12/share I think - and the share price has slumped from £45-odd to £23. As a buy-and-hold investor, I like dividends. They give a reason to hold on to the shares and ignore short term fluctuations in the share price. | jeffian | |
02/7/2020 10:07 | Maybe every company should stop paying dividends since it's such a wheeze to boost the share price? After the value's dropped 10 % first of course . | dogwalker | |
02/7/2020 09:27 | Bought a few for more at 193p slightly more expensive for the ISA and took out a small spread bet which is up 20 quid and got a no loss stop already factored in. V rare for me to get things right with my spread bets... | scooper72 | |
02/7/2020 09:23 | EJ Agreed and Tick worked this time. red | redartbmud |
