Thanks a million

Article Abstract:

Stock dividends of over 1 million pounds sterling annually are paid to a number of investors in United Kingdom companies. These include the Weston family who will receive a remittance of 300 million pounds sterling, a special dividend for their stake in Associated British Foods. Meanwhile, David Sainsbury holds a 13% stake in J Sainsbury, with a dividend of more than 38 million pounds sterling. Large dividend payments tend to be linked to large stockholdings, though the company itself may not be large.

Vodaphone: profits questioned

Article Abstract:

There is a debate over forecasts for the profit of Vodaphone, and the impact of the expiry of an agreement between British Telecommunications (BT) and Vodaphone in 1996. Credit Lyonnais' telecoms analyst, Steve Scruton, argues that Vodaphone's profit is likely to be 459 pounds sterling for the 1996-1997 FY. This is 125 million pounds sterling below a forecast from another major broker. Scruton foresees a less favourable agreement replacing BT's existing agreement with Vodaphone.

Difficulties with Dixons

Article Abstract:

Dixons' share price has doubled since the launch of Freeserve its new internet service. Dixons has a record as one of the most enduringly successful retailers in the UK, consistently outperforming the market. However there are doubts about the shares, with the company now rated at 4.6 billion pounds sterling, or 26 times current year earnings. The momentum will probably take Dixons and Freeserve a lot further.
