Re: Dividend presumably iii does not take a cut on the interest

PJ Foster 03 Dec 2014

Re: Dividend I'm with iii - have been for years.I had three dividend payments due on Friday:Games Workshop - Credited @ 15:11 on FridayStandard Life Income Property - Credited @ 17:51 on FridayBAE Systems - still waitingMy experience is that most dividends come the day they are due - with a significant percentage a day late. Two days late is unusual.Cheers,

Re: Dividend iii have been slow payers of dividends in my experience sometimes 10 days after the expected date. I have received one set of income today expected 30th Nov and still awaiting another x3 funds to pay out due at the end of last month.Report back when your paid, I dont know why iii are so slow compared to others, maybe its because their cheap!

Re: Dividend ......adding, I've not received mine either through ii.

Captain Hornblower 03 Dec 2014

Re: Dividend I too would be very interested to learn what II's framework is for dividends. Sometimes they're slow..... Very slow! Both to pay out and/or reinvest, if that's your choice.

Re: solid stock Mike, It's a fine company no question with it's breadth and scope in military activity, but there are a few things that maybe are not to like :-1. Falling Revenue -- £20.3Bn in 2009 ---> £16.7Bn projected end 2014.That's a fall off in business of 18% in 5 years.2. EPS is also less now that in 2009 (37p compared to 40p in 2009)3. High PEG ratio of 2.0 going into next year based on a high P/E of 12.8 -- the highest BAE has experienced for years.4. No quoted ROCE -- I simply don't know how much is generated for each £ invested.5. Dividend cover declining. Whilst still relatively comfortable it's fallen from well over 2 to 1.96. Share price trading close to 52 week highs, which in itself is not necessarily that meaningful except there is no room for shocks buying in at this level.7. Cash flow - was £1.1Bn short at the end of last year8. Debt is not enormous but still represents over 4.5 times it's current pre-tax profits.Games -- On the positive side Neil Woodford has increased his holding of late so he's obviously had his team run the slide rule over it. He's not infallible though since he has had several blunders of late including buying Rolls and Capita at the height and seeing a large chunk wiped off their value.

Re: solid stock Whats not to like unless you object to companies making weapons. Good management, good track record, good reliable dividend, high tec industry, industry leader. Put this in an unstable world and what do you have? A Buy.Ramp over.

solid stock for more of a reasonably predictable income yielding, you could do a lot worse than hold this stock. Still think there may be £5 in her
