Posted at 10/12/2024 18:15 by this_is_me nicholasblake seems to be able to predict what the share price will be in a month's time. I wish I could do that! |
Posted at 10/12/2024 17:35 by stevensupertrader SNWS tries to cut £5m of expenses which it has done in the past two years however going forward with reducing revenue and bone has hardly any meat left , is not easy plus now with increase of Ers Ni .unless SNWS reduces the headcount imo |
Posted at 10/12/2024 07:38 by this_is_me Revenue, eps and dividends essentially de-risked, debt potentially paid off in the near future, potential for increase in dividends, share price on the up; it is hardly a growth company but it is growing my ISA nicely. |
Posted at 06/11/2024 09:09 by aishah Berenberg: Smiths News delivering the goodsNewspaper and magazine wholesaler Smiths News (SNWS) can deliver expansion beyond its current verticals, says Berenberg. Analyst James Fletcher retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 70p on the stock, which rose 8.4% to 61.8p on Tuesday and has risen 25% over the last 12 months. Full-year results from the group were slightly ahead of Fletcher’s expectations, with earnings of £39.1m versus his £38.3m forecast. ‘The highlight was the announcement of a 2p special dividend, taking full-year 2024 dividend per share to 7.2p, equivalent to a 12.5% yield at the current share price,’ he said. ‘Smiths News will return a total of over £17.2m with respect to full-year 2024, realising the benefits of the recently revised capital allocation policy, which will also see enhanced ordinary dividends and reduced interest costs.’ Fletcher said the FTSE All-Share-listed company was investing for growth and he saw ‘expansion beyond the current verticals as potentially offering a strong growth counter to future circulation declines, while continuing to generate high levels of free cash flow and attractive dividends’. |
Posted at 05/11/2024 13:24 by kenmitch Agree with davidosh and others positive about SNWS. It’s been a great lockaway share for those of us who bought several years ago not far off half the current price. Those investing then when the dividend yield was near to 10% have already had more than half their stake back in dividends. Now they/we are getting a near 20% dividend.It had been clear that there could be no dividend increase until debt was down significantly but every update has been positive so (barring shock bad news that can hit any share) the time was sure to come when they could increase dividends. Not a share for big further capital gains unless SNWS falls to a bid, but a classic income share with that very high chance of further dividend increases to come, and a starting yield at 62p of near to 12%. |
Posted at 05/11/2024 13:10 by stevensupertrader SNWS new initiative ie to deliver books, entertainments and grocery goods to build on the newspapers delivery is starting tosee growth , started in year 2023 of generating £700k to £2m profit added to the ‘bread and butter ‘ business plus cost cutting of £5.6 m to a good bottom line figure that able to allow CEO and Board increase the final dividend to over 20% plus special dividend this financial year. Sure to be more of this in the coming years to come if the new initiative side of the business take off. Current share price is a bargain and opportunity to buy imo |
Posted at 02/10/2024 16:44 by marktime1231 Aha!A 53 week year cf a 52 week year accounts for up to 1.9% of the 1.1% "growth". No growth then, maybe as much as a 0.8% or £8-9M revenue decline on a level comparison basis. That confirms my previous conclusion, SNWS has to work jolly hard to find ancillary revenues and specials to offset the underlying business contraction, rowing against a strong ebb tide which is not covered by price increases. SNWS is still losing the topline battle, but appears to have won the bottom line challenges through cost control and debt reduction. How much it thinks it can sustainably distribute to shareholders is hard to say, but announcing a 3.5p final on 5 Nov would not surprise me and it would light up the share price Trying to decide whether to risk taking a chunk in my SIPP for the short-medium term income prospect, or a trade betting that the share price will appreciate strongly in the run to ex-div next January. Hmmmm. One to sleep on. |
Posted at 23/4/2024 08:42 by stevensupertrader SNWS Sp is now constrained by dividend and yield . At current share price the yield is 7.6% and SNWS cannot increase dividend due bank facilities agreement. share price won’t go any higher imo |
Posted at 10/1/2024 10:12 by kenmitch retsius.Some investors sell ahead of ex dividend day hoping that the share price will fall by more than the dividend. They can then buy again and the net effect is at a price that beats the dividend yield. I don’t do it because whether or not the share price falls by more than the dividend on ex dividend day is guesswork. Sometimes that early dividend mark down sees new buying and the share price rises during the day and can end the day above the previous day’s close, even allowing for the dividend being taken out of the share price. |
Posted at 26/6/2023 15:50 by stevensupertrader Does not inspire confidence , the half year result was excellent .SNWS SHARE PRICE 2 weeks ago before ex div was 55p and today 44p at closed. 20% down - something notRIGHT . |
