12/7/2019 20:32	erogenous jones: 97peter..... what do you want to talk about? In the absence of news, dealing pressure will determine the nuances for the share price. Since the beginning of the year the share price is rising. Ummmm, what else do you wish to know? Read Full Thread Follow Reply
18/6/2019 11:23	jeffian: Re the reaction to brokers' notes, it may be a reflection on human nature but I can't help noticing that whilst buy/upgrade notes produce little or no impact on the share price, sell/downgrade notes seem to generate disproportionately large downward movements! Same thing happened to me at GNK recently. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
18/6/2019 09:28	loganair: My understanding of Buy/Sell recommendation is... Buy if expecting share price to rise by more then 10% Add share price to increase by 5% to 10% Hold share price plus or minus 5% Reduce share price to fall by 5% to 10% Sell share price to fall by more than 10% Read Full Thread Follow Reply
18/6/2019 08:44	erogenous jones: Perhaps there is a little more for the share price to fall, but, Moorsie2, I doubt it will be to the extent you claim. Short sellers pay particular heed to both fundamental and technical analysis. The fundamentals show a strong profitable business that is focussed on paper packaging based products, technically the 6 mth chart is rising in a shallow band. And although the 3 month chart is southbound (as is the 12 month), news and fundamentals SHOULD always determine the broad direction for the share price. IMO, there are better companies to sell short (not my idea of investing) and this is a strong and long term componant both as a defensive and as a cyclical holding in an investors portfolio.

17/6/2019 10:36	jeffian: Absolutely agree with loganair. Buybacks are management using real (our) cash to try to boost the share price by massaging the NAV and EPS upwards. Unfortunately, the market is an emotional, rather than mathematical, mechanism so every £1 spent will not necessarily be converted into an equivalent increase in the share price. As a shareholder in Whitbread, I am currently waiting to see how much of the £2bn(!) cash being "returned" to us following the sale of Costa will actually find its way into my pocket or added directly to the share price. I am not holding my breath. As for buying back "undervalued" shares, that rather depends on how "value" is assessed. There may be a case if a company's shares are trading at a substantial discount to its underlying assets (the argument currently being used by EI Group whose shares trade at a discount of 40% to its freehold property portfolio) but in the case of SMDS, its 'Net Asset Value' of £3.112bn (equivalent to £2.34/share) actually includes £3.2bn of Intangible Assets.

17/6/2019 10:28	loganair: I completely disagree, how ever undervalued shares may be as good management would be able to deploy this money some where better to grow the company. If do not know where to invest, then I think far better to pay a 'Special Dividend' I'm reminded of BWIN, who's management kept buying back shares and yet the share price kept falling until taken over by GVC. In the long run, it seems to me share buy backs just waste a companies money rather then returning any long term value to the share holders. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
11/6/2019 15:08	erogenous jones: Not necessarily here, your lordship, but generally in many FTSE companies. IMB is one where I think it might be fair to suggest that in disposing of his stake it basically wiped around 300p off the share price. Of course, if his funds are under the 3% mark, then they will not feature on the company register, but it rather depends on how the money is actually spread on the holdings that seem intertwined in funds under his management. EDIT - there are also those funds which are not under his management that have a holding interest in some under his wing - they will come under pressure for their own liquidity and might impact on where bargains are executed as well as which sectors are in focus. Anyway, good to note that the FCA are counting the bodies rather than doing anything about preventing such messiness Read Full Thread Follow Reply
10/6/2019 09:08	togglebrush: FWIW____Press https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2019/06/08/ds-smith-boxed-hedge-funds-shares-slump/ Extract "Hedge funds have taken aim at cardboard box maker DS Smith ahead of the publication of its annual results next week, betting that a recent slump in its shares will drag on. About 4pc of the FTSE 100 giant’s shares are now on loan to short sellers including Citadel Europe, Coltrane Asset Management and Marshall Wace, up from less than 0.5pc in December. The combined short position is worth roughly £180m, based on Friday’s share price." Read Full Thread Follow Reply
15/5/2019 12:09	gabsterx: Share price falling on strong fundamentals is the best thing that can happen, time to back up the truck and load up on cheap shares! Read Full Thread Follow Reply
24/3/2019 20:45	alotto: Mark I think the market is becoming more conscious around packaging, sustainability etc. My feeling is that the whole industry is being hit as there will be a reduction with the use of (necessary)packaging material, especially is not recyclable/recycled, resource-intensive for its manufacture, etc. DS Smith sold its plastic division and invested in eco-friendly processes for the manufacture of their packaging materials. I wouldn't be that confident shorting DS Smith, considering that the share price has fallen considerably since the latest highs. However I would get rather nervous below 300p, that is where I would set my stop losses. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
