Positive momentum at Standard Life Aberdeen, says Jefferies -

Standard Life Aberdeen (SLA) is trading at an ‘attractive’ discount to its peer group and Barclays believes positive momentum is starting to build at the asset manager.

Analyst Daniel Garrod retained his ‘overweight’ recommendation and increased the target price from 510p to 520p.The shares edged 1.5p higher to 431.4p yesterday.

‘Standard Life remains our one key “overweight” among the UK listed asset managers,’ he said.

‘We believe its discounted price/earnings multiple versus peers at only 13 times 2018 [estimated earnings] remains highly attractive.’

He said that while the group had suffered outflows from its flagship Gars fund after poor performance, the ‘momentum appears positive’ and ‘improvement in macro sentiment and performance should drive inflows into Aberdeen’s emerging markets funds’.

As a partial indicator of how well the UK economy is doing, perhaps the FTSE's reluctance to keep pace with the DOW suggests the UK economy is not doing so well as that of the US. A further point is that investors who pursue dividend income prefer to buy 'solid' blue chip companies. It is clear that the dividend cover of such companies has become unsustainable for many over recent years with the attendant risk of dividend reduction or cancellation. As the market place fills up with dodgy goods, customers will inevitably look for greater rewards elsewhere.

No. There are two points to that. Many other markets have risen strongly , but what I cannot fathom is that when I started investing over 30 years ago I was informed by my broker that a a general rule good blue chip companies should have a pe of around 15. That seems to no longer be the case and now 12 is the norm. Why is this ?

[patdavey] 23/10/2017 10:09

Or is the Dow 8000 points too high?

[lab305] 23/10/2017 08:16

The British stock market is pathetic. Almost every other significant market in the world up around new highs and we languish 500 points above where we were 18 years ago ! That's 500 points since 1999 , and now we have the pundits suggesting that we are due for a 'correction' . Yeah . We are due a correction alright .....about 4000 points higher to keep pace with the US. Unbelievable.
