Serinus Energy SENX

• VAT Refund of $3 Million from Romania: The $3 million VAT refund expected in February corresponds to the current market capitalization of the entire business in the UK.
• Strategic Position of Xtellus: It is unlikely that Xtellus would take control and spend 18 months building its position merely waiting for drilling results in Tunisia or Romania.
• New Business Registrations: Xtellus recently registered two new companies in Europe:
• Xtellus Europe: Registered with CySEC (source).
• Oblitus International Ltd: Acquired assets in Argentina for £41 million (source 1, source 2).
• Dual Listing of Serinus: As the main shareholder of Serinus, Xtellus may leverage the dual listing status to trade and develop these assets using its public market presence.
• Operations in Syria: The war in Syria has ended, and Serinus, previously acquired exploration company, remains active in the region (source).
• Management Insight: Jeffrey Auld, a former Goldman Sachs banker and the current CEO, may plan significant expansions

• Global Trends:
• Potential resumption of fossil fuel funding under Donald Trump’s administration.
• Shift away from renewable energy toward oil, as seen with investors


• Market Valuation Comparison: Some companies in the UK with no revenues or near-term income prospects are valued at over £100 million. In comparison, Serinus offers significant growth potential.

• Potential Dividend from VAT Refund: if distributed the VAT refund as a dividend, potentially allowing for 100% investment recovery through dividends in the near term.

• Valuation Discrepancy: There is an unprecedented opportunity to buy shares in the UK for approximately 10 pennies, while shares on the Warsaw main exchange are currently priced at 60 pence.

As an income investor and very long term holder I'm well aware that unfortunately quarterly divis remained unchanged at 42.68 eurocents for as long as 14 quarters between Q4 2020 and Q1 2024. In Q2 2024 it was raised 3% to 43.96€¢, which nowhere near makes up for the lengthy 3 1/2 year stasis of the payouts during which inflation did its business.

Naturally this history is way better than cuts but imo ULVR is perhaps not quite the divi hero.

The sterling values will differ due to fluctuating FX rates but it's the euro values that tell us the company's policy.

#Alotto, that is what makes it a safe place to invest, moving very slow and steady with a consistent safe quarterly dividend, I am looking for my last top up here so a retrace is most welcome, then it can push on again through 5000 and we will see what happens to the ice cream business spin off.. :o)

The dividend yield is not enough to support further appreciation.unikever has to boost the payout.
I expect the demerger of the ice cream business will boost significantly the share price by 2025 end.
I was out at £47. I missed the dividend payment. I will get back in if we test £44. Unilever moves too slowly even for trading in and out

Unilever (ULVR) delivered a stronger than expected underlying performance in its third quarter as its ice cream arm, which the consumer goods giant hopes to spin off by the end of 2025, benefited from a soft comparative. Underlying sales growth came in at 4.5 per cent in the quarter, ahead of the company-compiled consensus of 4.2 per cent, as ice cream sales rose 9.8 per cent. Stripping out the ice cream performance, which management attributed to distribution gains, promotions and product innovations, sales rose 3.6 per cent.Underlying volume growth of 3.6 per cent also beat consensus. Total revenue of €15.2bn (£12.6bn) was flat, a result impacted by currency headwinds and net disposals. The spin-off of the ice cream unit, which sells brands including Magnum and Ben & Jerry's, is part of chief executive Hein Schumacher's growth strategy. The unit has historically posted slower growth than other parts of the portfolio, while Ben & Jerry's has caused legal headaches for the business. Unilever said it had made progress with setting up a separate ice cream legal entity and operating model.Another part of the plan is a focus on the company's top "power brands", which deliver more than three-quarters of revenue. In the third quarter, these brands outperformed, with underlying sales and volume growth of 5.4 per cent and 4.3 per cent, respectively.Meanwhile, Unilever exited Russia in October through the €520mn sale of its subsidiary to manufacturer Arnest. The company had attracted criticism for remaining in Russia after the invasion of Ukraine. The subsidiary only contributed around 1 per cent of total revenue and net profit last year.The company stuck to previous annual guidance for underlying sales growth of 3-5 per cent and an underlying operating margin of at least 18 per cent. Unilever trades on 18 times forward consensus earnings, a rating in line with the five-year average. Last IC view: Hold, 4,648p, 25 Jul 2024

#BC10, same here with c150 pence a year income.. :o)

Interesting to note RKT went +175 pence then -92 today
ULVR went -100 pence then +137 today

Just let HS get on with implementing his strategy and see where we go, next change will be the spinning off of the ice cream business and see how that impacts share price performance..

Most holders will be more focused on the 30th budget, how it hurt and what they can do about it (if anything) ..

#Alotto, too much to ask from today IMO, but another run up to 5000 pence or over before YE with the buybacks coming should be doable..

Next dividend inbound.. :o)

Columbia spies Unilever recoveryThere are 'green shoots' at Unilever (ULVR) but the turnaround at the consumer giant is still in its early stages, says Columbia Threadneedle fund manager Jeremy Smith.Smith holds the Citywire Elite Companies AAA-rated owner of brands such as Dove and Domestos in his CT UK Equity Income fund, making up 6.7% of the £2.9bn portfolio.'Following years of underperformance, there are green shoots in Unilever's recent trading statements, but the business is still in the early stages of its turnaround and has yet to sustainably outperform its peers,' said Smith.However, the stock is still the second-largest position in his fund as he is 'encouraged by the changes at the executive and board levels at the company, with the new chairman, chief executive and chief financial officer enhancing the quality of the management team.'He said the new leaders of the group were 'focused on reinvigorating the competitiveness of Unilever's product portfolio and particularly on key revenue-generating brands.''Management is also selectively increasing research and development in high-impact areas and has reorganised command structures to increase accountability,' said Smith.The shares softened 0.6% to £48.01 on Monday, but have gained 20.4% over the last 12 months.

As befits their role as 'bond proxies', the attractions of consumer staples shares were damaged when interest rates have increased from record lows. At the same time, inflationary pressures have led consumers to trade down to private label options in the hunt for cheaper products.Companies have struggled to strike the right balance between volume and price; Procter & Gamble's (US:PG)'s sales volumes were flat in its latest financial year, while Nestlé's (CH:NESN) preferred real internal growth metric grew by just 0.1 per cent in its first half. But as base rates start to drop, some businesses are also starting to see belated operational progress. Unilever (ULVR) has delivered quarter-on-quarter volume growth over the past three periods, as chief executive Hein Schumacher (in post since July 2023) implements a fresh growth strategy in an attempt to improve earnings and margins after an underwhelming few years.A turnaround story under new management understandably excites the market, and the Marmite and Dove owner's share price has risen by almost a quarter over the past year. Change was badly needed; Schumacher's promise of "no major or transformational acquisitions" came after the attempted £50bn acquisition of GSK's (GSK) consumer arm in 2022 went down like a lead balloon with investors.The new plan has several parts: a focus on top brands (which deliver three-quarters of revenue and are higher-growth than the rest of the portfolio), a spin-off of the underperforming ice-cream arm, and a cost-cutting and productivity package. On the face of it, this looks encouraging. But rejuvenation narratives can sometimes deceive. Analysts at Bernstein have pointed to "the low odds of turnaround in this space", and Unilever's "own history of repeated turnaround hopes for at least the last 28 years". Saying that, the latest trading figures contained encouraging signs. Half-year results to 30 June saw a big operating profit margin beat and raised guidance. The gross margin was boosted by 420 basis points as management tries to return the metric to pre-pandemic levels. However, it remains the case that competitiveness needs to improve, judging by a turnover-weighted market share metric that remains flat.The question for income investors is what the new strategy means for dividends. Unilever's reliable payouts have made it an income stalwart. It has grown dividends per share at a compound annual growth rate of 5 per cent over the last decade – nicely ahead of competitors.It's important to note that Unilever reports in euros, with investors holding the London-listed shares receiving dividends in pounds and those holding the Amsterdam-listed shares paid in euros. Dividend payments in pounds have, unsurprisingly, fluctuated because of currency movements. But a fully-fledged cut is essentially unheard of.Payouts are backed up by chunky free cash flow generation and a resilient balance sheet. Unilever delivered €7.1bn (£6bn) of free cash flow last year, allowing the return of €5.9bn to investors in dividends and buybacks. Analysts expect €6.9bn and €7.8bn of free cash flow to be posted in 2024 and 2025, respectively, rising to over €8bn in 2026. Net debt of around €25bn at the end of June, translating to a leverage ratio of 2 times, is manageable and doesn't present a risk to these plans.Combine these factors with the new strategy's hoped-for improved growth and earnings, and the conclusion might be that the payout outlook is rock solid. We expect dividends to grow in the coming years. There is some uncertainty about what Schumacher's new strategy means for future demands on capital expenditure and research and development spend, and the context of the planned hive-off of the ice cream business provides more complexity when thinking about future investor returns. This introduces some new risks into the equation, but the overall picture is promising.Dividend policy: A payout ratio above 60 per cent of underlying earnings. Yield: 3 per centPayment: QuarterlyLast cut: naAlternativeLike Unilever, Diageo (DGE) also has relatively new management. But the drinks giant's share price has moved in the opposite direction over the last year, as chief executive Debra Crew remains under pressure on the back of inventory headwinds in Latin America and weaker demand in the key North America market. In the latest annual results, revenue went backwards for the first time in four years and operating profits fell in four out of five markets. Despite these significant hangovers, analysts expect dividends to continue to grow, backed up by expectations for free cash flow to rise by almost $1bn (£766mn) between 2024 and 2027.
