Re: Wow! Do you expect a big sell off when this goes ex-div later this month?
Wow! We are getting 106p special dividend in addition to the 23p already announced, and it looks like there will still be considerable value left in the company as it will hold all the China property. There is probably enough information in the announcement to work out the residual value, but I haven't managed to do that yet.I am going to get caught with the new dividend tax, but I am not complaining!
Re: Dividend 23p dividend and StockMarketWire's headline is 'Asian Growth Properties profits fall'. Perhaps that is why the price hasn't risen as much as expected. I was able to top up at 60p this morning, which is effectively at 37p, which can't be bad.The net cash is £660M of which £204M is being paid out in dividends, 97% of that to the owners. Last year they took out about £150M and it wouldn't be surprising if they took out another big chunk next year.
Dividend The company has announced a dividend of HK$2.25 to be paid on April 13th, ex-div March 30th. Google converts that to 23p. Not a bad return!If you look at just the headline of the Annual Report you might think they were in trouble as profits are well down on last year - but that was due to the exceptional property sale profit last year. The NAV per share has actually increased from 139p to 150p and they have a phenomenal amount of cash.Sometime soon people are going discover this company, but I hope I get a chance to increase my stake further first.
Re: Difficult to buy Was easier to buy today. I could get a 'quote and buy' for up 4k pound's worth, which I did twice at 42p.This is basically a private company with the owners holding 97%, and they have decided to put a few shares for sale to make it officially public. They are currently getting their profits out by paying dividends and seem content to let the share price stay low. I am happy with the dividends and will be really happy if they decide to let the share price go to its true value.
Re: Difficult to buy I think with the Dividend and Sale confirmation expected so close together - we could see a huge Rise to represent, nothing better for a PI to see £700m cash go into the company and also if they hold a few days a 17p dividend - nice profit if you buy at right timewe could see circa £1 that week, dropping back to 50p after the dividendPersonally, i am going to load up a week or two before (before Sale News) - probably Friday 20th May - before the real increase and have a nice gain - i will then hopefully try and average down thereafter and retain free shares for the Long Term - going to use the new Life ISA though as i want to hold here and woodford fund for a long time - not just trade like most of my shares
Re: Difficult to buy Think you are right Dan - if we get 17p one day, the SP wil drop by 17p the next.
Current value to book worth.. Crazy! So with the close today at 49p that gives AGP a current valuation of only £429 million.The company made £1.2billion for shareholders last year, and another £700 plus million with the current deal on the table so far this year with more raps to come and possibly more dividends.Surely there cannot be another share in the market at such a crazy price..What a company !! That Management are absolutely amazing!
Re: Difficult to buy I only bought here 3rd March at 42p (5953 shares only) - personally i think this is my best small buy and will make me the most money per pound invested over the long termWith the Dividend of circa 17p (depending on HK - £ rate) and all the assets and potential developments in the forthcoming years, hopefully see a few dividend payments next few years.Expect WC 23rd May to be huge with sale of Lah Dinga and the dividend payment.I also expect a lot of sales come Monday 30th May unfortunately
Re: Difficult to buy Going to £1 easily from here ..Incredibly undervalued company.Shares hard to come by and supreme dividend and prospects.
Difficult to buy I see someone managed to get in and buy at 38p at 080 this morning. I tried to, but Barclays was not quoting a price. They didn't do the trade until around 9am and I had to pay 49p, but that still should be a good price. Eventually the market should wake up to the true value.I have been waiting a long time - my initial holding is at 33p from 2010.
