Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Hello, Share Trackers. As I’m moving house next year, I’ve been downsizing by selling stuff on eBay. So I know something about parcel delivery. If you have a tiny parcel to send, Royal Mail (RMG) charges £3.10. If you have a bigger parcel, Royal Mail can still charge £3.10. When you want to send a very heavy parcel, Hermes does a cheaper deal. And parcel delivery is an area which is the most promising for Royal Mail...
Hello, Share Pickers. Though the latest numbers from Royal Mail (RMG) could have been worse, I’m not altogether happy about holding my bunch of shares much longer. A tiny part of this view is unfairly coloured by personal experience. One package I recently wrapped carefully came back in bits (I was compensated). And prices for some parcels have gone up...
Royal Mail (RMG) really should be renamed Royal Wail by long-suffering shareholders. Today's full year to the end of March numbers are unsurprisingly in two parts, although the gap between pre-Covid lockdown and the last few months is not as wide as seen by other corporate names. If only this could solely reflect a necessity, utility-style, business at the heart of our national life...
Hello, Share Thinkers. I’m indebted to the reader who added a few useful suggestions to my weekend piece on the 22 benefits of self-isolation. Both for his ideas and the comforting general view he added which went something like: ‘Once it’s over, we can all look forward to 10 years of rising share prices’. That’s what happened after the 2008 bank crash. Meanwhile here’s another share in my current series that could benefit from the crisis...
You can always rely on the Royal Mail (RMG), right? As a postal service I think it is a world leader but the trouble is that in today's world that is far from enough. Today's nine month trading update may have started with an assertion that 'we had a busy Christmas season...overall, our recent trading performance has been broadly in line with our expectations', but dig a little deeper and issues emerge. After all, there is a reason why the shares are at an all-time low today, at not even a third of the 600p level achieved in early 2018…
Trading updates have been coming through thick and fast over the last few days, accompanied by an influx of tipster tips and broker ratings. In this week’s article, we review two companies that have attracted the highest number of tips over the last seven days, and assess whether consensus sentiment is positive or negative in each case.
Hello, Share Spinners. With the shops already beginning to stock up Christmassy things (shame!), businesses significantly affected by the Yule spirit will soon begin to bounce up. Or not fall as quickly as they might have done, according to their own unique circumstances. One such company is Royal Mail (RMG).
A rough old start for certain large cap UK equities this week. Tom has already commented on Ryanair (RYA) and today's September traffic from the same company does nothing to encourage me to bottom fish here. By contrast, the knock-on impact on easyJet (EZJ) shares - which I loved up on these pages on Saturday - has been pretty savage, pushing the shares down 10% odd since the Friday close…
Who would have thought a stodgy stock like Royal Mail (RMG) would be such a trading counter? Over the last year alone it has moved between a sub four quid share price and pushing 630p a share...and when I look back over the last year it has been one of my top active selection larger cap names. I have not owned the name for a few months now but it has come back on my radar today as its regulator Ofcom has just slapped it with a £50 million fine.
Hello Share Shapers. Royal Mail (RMG) is not a share I would buy more of. I will however hang onto those I do have for a while longer. Though I really ought to be looking for a good exit point I think.
