Taylor Wimpey Share Discussion Threads

It certainly is Optimistic ...Great to see dividend programme maintained at £1.3bn and unimpaired by leasehold provision. This means another £500m for distribution next year or 15.3p a share so these shares have a lot further to go imo

[optomistic] 27/4/2017 18:46

...it is as well to get the facts right ;-)

It was an upgrade from 210 to 240 NOT a downgrade

[gbh2] 27/4/2017 17:04

They have clients that are going short?

Peel Hunt today downgrades its investment rating on Taylor Wimpey PLC (LSE:TW.) to hold (from buy) and cut its price target to 210p (from 240p).Interested to find out the reasoning behind this one

I picked a few more in the last dip, looking forward to the run up to the specialex divi date.

Only 5 times a day is the sign of a very chilled out, relaxed, customer. Don't worry ;-)

Hi, recently added Taylor to my small portfolio, all the news is good but the share price stays the same. Why? Also, is it normal to keep checking ones portfolio 5 times a day.? Thank you.

Walk up in May and look at last years performance post special.

[raffles the gentleman thug] 27/4/2017 09:06

Well shares effectively trading 190p ex the special which is an amazing opportunity in my book. Cheapest and highest yielding stock in FTSE with excellent visibility

[gbh2] 27/4/2017 09:01

No runaway share price rises here, just a waiting game and a controlled run up to the ex date for the special dividend imo.

[cwa1] 27/4/2017 08:12

To be fair the market does seem to have taken it in its stride after an early modest markdown. Oh well, bang goes my chance of picking up some cheap stock on an irrational market wobble :-(

[folderboy] 27/4/2017 07:55

Well someone else will have to read that . . . .

[raffles the gentleman thug] 27/4/2017 07:53

No doubt starting today in the Daily Mail

[folderboy] 27/4/2017 07:52

Spun well there is tremendous positive publicity to be gained by such a proactive approach.

[raffles the gentleman thug] 27/4/2017 07:51

Well short term perhaps not but what's the market gonna do - it's only 2% of the market cap spread over ten or more years so hardly an excuse to have any material negative impact is it ?

[cwa1] 27/4/2017 07:49

We'll need to wait and see if the market is as sanguine about the provision as all on here are :-)

[raffles the gentleman thug] 27/4/2017 07:48

Exactly gbh2

[tlobs2] 27/4/2017 07:46

It's money well spent to settle this issue.

Good to hear that elsewhere in the company things are going well and significant dividends are on the way to shareholders :-)

[gbh2] 27/4/2017 07:45

Could be good publicity and attract buyers to what will be a fairer deal on future purchases.

[raffles the gentleman thug] 27/4/2017 07:45

Yea but it's non cash and related cash outflows from this when they come will barely even be noticed and in no way impair dividend paying capacity of this business

[cwa1] 27/4/2017 07:39

Provision of £130 million though. Not insignificant, even if it is the right thing to do.

[hernando2] 27/4/2017 07:36

It should draw line under the issue, and i also am very pleased that they are doing this, it must be a nightmare for purchasers, who in all probability didn't get great advice from their solicitor/conveyancer when they purchased.

[raffles the gentleman thug] 27/4/2017 07:35

Very prudent and makes sense - was only a matter of time before some backbench MP seeks to make their career out of this

[gbh2] 27/4/2017 07:34

I think they're are concerned that the bad publicity of recent months will end up with an investigation so they're making the move now.
