Grrrrrrrr

[robertfaulkner] 02/8/2013 09:05

RNS of results today in 'NEWS' above and they say they intend to give superior divs in future as well

[gorse] 02/8/2013 08:49

Can't understand why VSVS is going so high, but, having sold only 35% of my holding at 412p recently, I'm not grumbling.

[robertfaulkner] 02/8/2013 08:36

Kass you can say that again, I thought they both demerged at the same price but I have VSVS at 325p and Alent at 300p in Dec 12

As I said I need cash to buy SXX(that went down) and decided to Sell one of them and thought VSVS had reached it's top at 409p

If my maths is right I have VSVS up 143% and Alent up 125% since demerger

I think VSVS announces it's results and div ahead of Alent, maybe we will get good results from Alent as well

[kazz] 01/8/2013 16:52

Just need Alent to catch up now

Sold out at 409p to buy more SXX (a proposed potash(fertilizer) mine in Whitby N Yorks)

Vsvs went on up and SXX went on down

[robertfaulkner] 15/7/2013 08:13

Just can't seem to push right through 400p?????

[robertfaulkner] 08/7/2013 15:28

What's up Doc!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Vesuvious up 14p + 3.7%

Alent up 18p + 5.2%

[robertfaulkner] 01/7/2013 08:28

Just looked it up this was a final making 17p for the whole financial year about 4.8% yield. The market doesn't believe this can be paid every year or the share price would be much higher

[robertfaulkner] 01/7/2013 08:22

Got my dividend of £470, not bad 9.5p a share

I don't even know if this is it for the year?

This works out at 2.6% alone and if another interim comes along, even better

Downgraded to underperf by CS, TP cut to 345p:

From RNS, I didn't know they are buying back shares, they are certainly paying too much for them they close at 377p and they paid 379p

These are on my watch list, look worth a punt at these levels, anyone any thoughts?

[robertfaulkner] 09/4/2013 16:24

Vesuvius going to overtake Alent share price because Alent has given up

[robertfaulkner] 02/4/2013 22:35

London Evening Standard, Business section had a BUY for Vesuvius on p 47 Portfolio,.tonight

It has 1 Buy, 1 Hold and 1 Sell

It said Vesuvius can ride out the cycles with reliable dividens from the ceramics business, it also said that at 353p a broker gives a target of 385p

Pity as it was over 400p a few days ago

[robertfaulkner] 29/3/2013 19:06

Div 9.5p ex div on 17th May, paid 27th June (Alnt paid 5.5P)


Dividend
In line with the guidance set out at the demerger, the Board has recommended a final dividend of 9.5 pence per share. The final dividend, if approved at the Annual General Meeting on 4 June 2013, is to be paid on 27 June 2013 to shareholders on the register on 17 May 2013. Any shareholder wishing to participate in the Vesuvius Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") needs to have submitted their election to do so by 6 June 2013.
Looking ahead, we expect Vesuvius to be a strongly cash generative business and we recognise the importance of cash distributions to shareholders, including long-term dividend growth. Future dividend decisions will take into account Vesuvius' underlying earnings, cash-flows investment plans and the prevailing market outlook, and the Board intends to announce the first dividend under this new policy along with the 2013 Interim results.

Results as expected, if disappointing. Price has been overhiked over the last few months.
Very quiet here considering.
