Hope you took that punt on FBD? major re-rating and SP jumped about 20% yesterday

Lad GAGA · 01-02-2022 1:53pm

Davy's have a price target of just over €13 for FBD. They haven't been allowed pay any dividends for the last couple of years but they had planned to pay a special dividend of c€1 per share when their plans had to be scrapped a coupe of years ago. That should restart this year. They announced on Friday that their expected profit for last year will most likely exceed €100m, way ahead of market forecasts. They mentioned that, in addition to light claims, built into this was very strong investment returns. Their current NAV is 11.37 and that's before last years results are released in March. So all in all even at the current 10.30 they may well be a good investment but DYOR.

Good lad 👍 ... nothing ventured etc.

Can someone tell me if FBD paid the dividend this month. I know there was pressure to cancel it.

Lad GAGA · 26-05-2022 7:09pm

Yes the €1 dividend was paid in May. I'm not aware of any pressure around paying it, in fact they indicated that they want to maintain this level of dividend going forward if the company's finances can accommodate it.

Shares are taking a hammering and the outlook is poor .I am in lucky position to have sat on my hands .Does any company in the iseq show any value at present .Kingspan stands out to me as it has taking a bit of a tumble down to 54 euro have not heard any press of reason of downturn besides the obvious ,I will be thinking long and hard before pulling the trigger anyway .

Green Penguin · 06-07-2022 10:56pm

Kingspan, Kerry and Flutterall look decent at current price for me, looking at them on a longer term basis.

bcklschaps · 16-07-2022 5:10am

Don't be a fool. Kingspan is an oddball company.....

Diairist · 17-07-2022 10:28am

That sentiment is in the article in The Phoenix magazine this week. When they swing up, it's spectacular but...

Exactly. I based my opinion on that recent Phoenix article and a few others that I have come accross over the years.

The gist of which is that they were in the right sector at the right time.... But even soo, through a mixture of incompetence/arrogance they nearly screwed up.

.I am only an amateur ,how have they screwed up .

They are in the right sector at the moment and probably moreso into the future .They seem a good price at moment and for an ordinary Joe seem value.

I bought bol dear ,but doubled up big time when the price tanked ,just my gut feeling .I have a similar hunch with Kingspan

Maybe start by reading that article in the Phoenix. Then maybe have a read of this

What broker can I buy PVR on?

Kingspan has been very expensive for years but could justify it with huge growth quarter after quarter

littlevillage · 03-08-2022 11:20am

Fair play to anyone who took the plunge on Kingspan a couple of weeks back.... you should be looking at 15% profit already. (I didn't chance it myself)

I did however take a punt on Ryanair which has also been doing nicely.

Very positive note in the Phoenix this week too. (The gist of which is if they dump O'Leary and get Willie Walsh or someone of his ilk the company could double in value very quickly).

cute geoge · 24-09-2022 11:54am

I did not pull the trigger the last time kingspan went to 50 but they are back there again ,the war will probably drive markets lower again .Is it time to sit on our hands a bit longer ,Bank of ire. are flying doubled on them ,I actually bought them 3 times 2 of which times were a rob and the 3rd time doubled up bigtime at a pittence price .Thinking should I just buy % of kingspan and see how they preform .

Anything else of value ?

i have a 1000 ryanair which are down 5% from purchase price years ago ,probably enough of them

littlevillage · 28-09-2022 3:22pm

Yeah, Ryanair, Kingspan, Kenmare Resources all looking very appetising at current prices. But you just don't know where things are going to go.

I can see why the weak English pound would drag down Ryanair & Kingspan... but its a mystery why Kenmare is down 7% today. (Might be to do with going Ex Dividend recently)

Anyway, I picked up a couple Kingspan and a few Kenmare today to add to my existing holdings and bring my BEP down.

bank of I up 100%

fbd up 10%

ryanair up 10%

Kingspan up 10 %

I am thinking of just holding them any other opinions ,I will try not lose my shirt and so far I have bought pretty well and timed market ,I will definitly off load bank of i. when it hits 10 euro .

Fbd & kingspan seems to be going ok

Ryanair usual ?

is there any others in Iseq to keep watch on

Lad GAGA · 16-02-2023 12:53am

FBD up to €13 today, with bumper profits of c€70m for last year to be announced in March, way ahead of all forecasts. Looks like another dividend of €1 could be on the cards, Davy has an upgraded price target of €15 per share.

Green Penguin · 17-02-2023 10:51pm

Some nice movements over last few weeks, iseq up 16% ytd now..

littlevillage · 18-02-2023 9:26am

Yeah, ISEQ absolutely flying in 2023. Banks, and the large caps (CRH, Ryanair, Flutter) driving it. But I suppose if you take a longer term view, it's only recovering ground that it's lost in the last 2 years.

Green Penguin · 19-02-2023 4:35pm

Interesting article by Brian Carey in the Sun Times on Flutter and their likely US listing.

I see the board of directors at IRES reit have gotten it in the neck from activist investor vision capital, they want it sold to a private company, I’m a shareholder and voted against the reelection of all of the directors ( proxy vote), the performance of IRES has been pitiful

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120510338#Comment_120510338

Couple of years back all the jargon was to invest in these reit instead of property ,you could get ther same return as property without any of the hassle .Would not mind but when these reit starting purchasing property it was on the floor after the crash .

REIT,s are pitched as a hassle free proxy for the housing market, whatever about how they fare in America ( where they’ve been a feature for fifty years) , they have been largely a failure in most of Europe,the likes of IRES has a good yield but a bond is a much better investment if steady income is someone’s priority , no one is going to invest in IRES paying 4% when many governments are paying over 3%

I invested in the commercial reit Hibernia a few years ago when it was cheap, it got bought out so I realised a gain of 40% plus , I’m hoping that the same happens with IRES

Diairist · 23-04-2023 2:42pm

I got a couple of REIT's in 2014. When I copped that all of London's financial giants weren't fleeing to Dublin after Brexit I got out. As above, it was only when I sold that I realised how many free shares had been pumped into my holding. Good outcome.
