FT reporting the sale of the US until has been completed @ $955mil

[jibba_jabba] 30/3/2011 09:54

Housebuilder Bellway posted higher profits in the six months to 31 January after selling more homes at higher prices, but warned that consumer confidence remains fragile. Pre-tax profits rose to £24m from £19m, on turnover that was up to £407.9m from £360.8m. The interim dividend climbs to 3.7p from 3.3p.

I'll only know if I got it wrong for sure on the 21st ;-) - I'm expecting one

Sir Rational
Have you got an answer on date of IMS or did you get it wrong ?

[sir rational] 29/3/2011 23:23

They are just maintaining a bit of flexibility on the IMS - there may not be one with AGM, but IMV it's quite likely, possibly wrapped up with news on TM sale.

I wonder how long we will have to wait for this US subsidiary sale news. I will be out once it hits the newswires.Been holding for a long time with a target of 50p, having doubled up a historical loss making stake with a purchase in the 20's.

Not overly bullish about property, despite visiting TW's new home sales project in St ives, Cambridge. Well presented houses, but a bit too pokey for my liking.

SR
They would have an ims every 6 months wouldn't they ?
I cant see a mention of it anywhere.

The HPI may suggest lower pricess achieved however as per last set of results didn't TW improve their unit prices or did I miss something.. to me that is sound business. They have also been very concervative in their approach by looking at cost cutting and building better properties (moving away from the pikey market as someone mentioned before) therefore less reliance on prices overall.

Sir lets hope for a repeat of last April well the first half anyway!!!

[sir rational] 29/3/2011 16:46

Same as last year, that's what I'm expecting.

[kfp] 29/3/2011 16:28

SR the below from TW website, where did you get ims (which is more important) from ?

Thanks KP

KFP: ISTR AGM+IMS

[wendsworth] 29/3/2011 12:34

jibba-jabba : Wouldn't argue with the tenor of your postys 8135 and 8143.

Whatever..the movers and shakers will come up with some fatuous reasons to ensure the market moves between 5500 and 6000 levels!

[kfp] 29/3/2011 10:04

SR with the "21st" do you mean the AGM ? AGM's normally dont move the share price do they ?

[kfp] 29/3/2011 09:58

Good old SR !

[imastu pidgitaswell] 29/3/2011 09:26

Now you tell me - could have sold some for high 43s and bought back, but someone told me this was headed for North of 50p pronto.

Can't trust anyone these days...


:-)

[jibba_jabba] 29/3/2011 09:15

This is our most vulnerable time of the year... so expect some shakes, otherwise known as buying opportunities..

[sir rational] 29/3/2011 08:46

Nothing to say until the 21st lol - unless we get that TM news.

No point reading too much into Dec/Jan as the volumes are low plus as mentioned the snow etc.

[kfp] 29/3/2011 08:27

Good point, btw where is sir rationale ?

[imastu pidgitaswell] 29/3/2011 08:24

I think we also need to remember the sheer scale of the weather disruption - it was several weeks of snow and ice, with many parts of the country barely functioning - airports, trains, roads etc. Didn't happen in December 2009, it was more like January and February 2010 - so we should see a corresponding 'surge' for those months.

In reality, any sensible view should look at a rolling period of at least three months to consider any proper movement.

Not sure why they can quote prices in January and February, but only volumes from December?

[kfp] 29/3/2011 08:12

But are they new or do they include people raising money with a remortgage ?

[jibba_jabba] 29/3/2011 08:07

0930 Final Mortgage Approvals.

[kfp] 29/3/2011 08:02

I think the number of properties sold in December 2010 is the most shocking.
Actual deals done not building society's opinion

Business Financial Newswire - The February data from Land Registry's flagship House Price Index shows an annual price decrease of 1.7% which takes the average property value in England and Wales to £162,215.
