Tate & Lyle Share Discussion Threads

Back in , not sure there is any logic in buying Xd , the price will correct.
I wonder how much further it will fall in this long slow decline.

[warranty] 27/6/2017 17:46

I can only think the low and falling sugar price is driving this drop in TATE, now nearly at 10 year lows so hopefully we should be near a bottom and this could be a good time to get in. With the anticipated 20p ex dividend fall on Thursday to come it must surely be a good entry point after that?

Tempting me back in now 698 will do me ; Xd on Thursday I think. As you point out Pierre may not be worth the effort but I do like to trade a bit..

Yeah the stock market is a strange place. Nevertheless, the dip allowed me to top up for the third time to bring tate to my preferred holding level. Who knows what will happen tomorrow, seems a great entry point to me.

(At least we know it won't go down tomorrow!).

Illogical market reaction, given that big increase in free cash flow.

Only TATE could have 5% knocked off its share price following such very good results. Have to console ourselves with the 4+% yield and foreign earnings (with Brexit in view). Happy to continue my LTBH policy with this.

any reason for the unwelcomed fall today?

[pierre oreilly] 16/5/2017 15:01

any reason for the welcomed rise today?

[grahamite2] 08/5/2017 12:22

I didn't mean to suggest I could see them coming - I can't. But there are other stocks in the market. Steering clear of this one altogether except right after a big fall is one option.

[pierre oreilly] 08/5/2017 12:06

Well obviously it's easy in theory. I just don't know how anyone sees a cliff edge coming in practice (in advance, it's easy to see it coming in retrospect!).

[grahamite2] 08/5/2017 12:01

For as long as I've followed it this stock has been known for periodic cliff edge collapses - I can't think of another stock quite like it - so it makes sense to bank profits when it's doing well and wait for the next one to buy back in.

[pierre oreilly] 08/5/2017 11:53

Wad, you seem to do a hell of a lot more buying and selling than me. Are you convinced that overall it's better than just hanging on for much longer? Obviously, some you win some you lose, but overall is it worth it?

[wad collector] 16/2/2017 16:22

Just let some go at 730 . Not sure I have confidence in the market in the short term.

[wad collector] 09/2/2017 08:31

"Encouraged by performance in the quarter, we now expect the Group's performance in constant currency for the full year to be modestly ahead of our expectations at the time of our Half Year Results in November 2016."

For T&L that is a very positive statement!
Though I see the market is not that impressed.

[wad collector] 08/2/2017 16:26

Good to see share price sharply up day before trading update ; some leaking good news ? Or just wishful thinking ?

[breaktwister] 08/2/2017 11:13

Traders in for news tomorrow

[wad collector] 08/2/2017 10:41

Sp starting to break out of recent trading range ; time for another profits warning?

[wobaguk] 03/1/2017 17:25

An analyst downgraded it from Buy to Hold, some people obviously ditched on that news. 2.2% not unexpected from that sort of activity, and I wouldnt be surprised to see a couple of percent more from people who werent paying attention today, but read up by the weekend.

[backpacker] 03/1/2017 17:11

The share price went down

[warranty] 03/1/2017 17:00

What the f--k happened here today????

[wad collector] 14/12/2016 11:53

Bought back in at 660 ; haven't been here for a while. Some good broker write ups before the share price dropped. Almost bought the lowest buy of the day.
