Positive UK car production figures may have helped

[grahamburn] 23/12/2016 06:50

ex-div.....maybe.

[miikke] 22/12/2016 21:30

Why such hi turnover today?

[mortimer7] 20/12/2016 15:42

Actual Ex Divi date is this Thursday, 22nd Dec.

[daddy2010] 19/12/2016 20:29

FYI consensus around 6.1p putting the shares on just under 7x earningsD

[s34icknote] 19/12/2016 16:11

What's the forecast eps on this one ?

[marine boy] 15/12/2016 07:37

Interim of 0.5p payable 22nd Jan 2017. Ex divi around 24th Dec.

Finals June / July 2017

Dividend cover is 4.7 so I assume divi next 28th Feb will be comfortably 1.5p giving a yield of 3.5%. maybe more!

[gswredland] 14/12/2016 17:54

According to Advfn it is 3.06%

[david2013] 13/12/2016 22:28

Can someone remind me what the dividend is in VTU? It looks rather good value at current levels.

buy and sell indicators are notoriously unreliable as the underlying assumption that above mid price must be a buy and below must be a sell is very often wrong. Actual trade direction data isn't available. Draw your own conclusion as to how useful the buy/sell indication is.

[eggbaconandbubble] 05/12/2016 12:56

Every time I have looked at the trade volumes over the last few weeks on ADVFN the 'buys' always seem to be quite a lot larger than the 'sells' vols.
Anyone any idea?

Would undoubtedly be true once Quitaly, Helloutandia of here (the netherlands)and others leave the doomed project

I just can't see Brexit having any impact on the well salaried middle classes being able to make the payments on the lease agreement for their Mercs, Jags, Beemers or Range Rovers!

Any probs, just increase the mortgage!

Not strictly VTU, but I think this is a positive illustration of the current state of the UK Motor Retail sector. From front page of Motor trade News today:-
Pendragon have announced a recruitment drive aimed at finding an extra 300 technicians nationwide for their Evans Halshaw & Stratstone dealerships. Trevor Finn CEO commented "despite significant commentary on the potential negative impact of the EU referendum, we have not experienced any noticeable change in our customers' buying behaviour".

[gswredland] 05/12/2016 10:25

Yep that's good. Thanks Mortimer

SMMT released their figures for new car registrations for November this morning, which show a 2.9% increase compared to Nov 2015. Fleet and Business registrations are the growth areas.
Encouraging news again for the Motor sector.

[eggbaconandbubble] 02/12/2016 14:41

I thought Corbyn had that title.

[houxty] 01/12/2016 15:18

Other than the gibberish in the link below, I can't see anything. Very welcome though, perhaps there's life after all.

Interesting rise this afternoon- any explanations- perhaps the selling was overdone!

[darnoc64] 26/11/2016 13:48

EPS increased almost 30% between 2015 and 2016. Is that not progress?

[miikke] 25/11/2016 22:20

This company seems to have made loads of purchases but has only marked time and seems to have made no progress with earnings per share in a real sense yes bigger turnover and bigger profit but given the share price and eps what's the point?
