Oh dear, two large companies combine and, like an intergalactic "event" only negative matter remains....a case of 1 + 1 = 0.2

Let me say - sp a year ago was 10x today's - so this business has earned its place in the 90% club....and maybe more to come, as they will need to go overseas for cash, if the UK is dry.

I doubt there is a UK Builder with enough dosh to bail-out this dullard. They all thought they could expand until the UK burst with immigrants - yet they consistently went for pricier properties and projects where ( even now), there is some doubt whether there are enough jobs to support new-build developments.

EDIT ( Nov 2015 ) - Seven years on and we're at 183p - so anyone that bought at the all-time Low has done very well - but the Market was fearful and that meant few were Buying. 2009/2010 averaged about 40p - that was a good time if you had the LT cash.
With the rise and yield-multiplier effect, this is looking like Buying it was "probably" inspired.... but it has not regained that earlier Value - which will surely take a lot longer.

Third Avenue Management over 3%Holdings in Company.

Taylor Wimpey insists the Group's UK operations have traded in line with expectations in the first half of 2011 and expects to deliver a strong improvement to margins as anticipated.

The company remains focused on delivering margin improvement on its existing land portfolio, continued progression of strategic sites through the planning system and the addition of new sites where good opportunities are identified.

The sale of its North American business is nearing completion, with all of the required regulatory and governmental approvals now received. The company will update the market once the transaction is complete.

Taylor Wimpey plc will announce its Half Year Results for the period ending 3 July 2011 on 3 August 2011.

Pete Redfern, Group Chief Executive, commented:"I am very pleased with our ongoing performance improvement in the UK and we have made good progress towards completing the sale of our North American operations.

"We are well positioned to deliver further margin improvement in the UK, beyond our double digit operating margin target for 2012, through the development of our extensive strategic land portfolio."

ul . my bank manager at lloys told me to buy and stated that they would double .that was a few weeks back and i keep adding a few

LOL - And your new target price? I seem to remember 50p by March and 60p by June.

skin i can only reply to the post about what she told me and she is a nice
person have known her for a long time

-anker surprised she is still talking to you after all the nasty things you have blogged about LLOY.

it is not the local bank managers that are the trouble
and i no what she thinks but i can not comment .
23 of my good friends work there they are all want out

If you can't stand the heat get out of the......

i got out of these a few weeks back, probably at some sort of loss ..... i still like the company and think it's one of the better ones in the sector ..... however, the housing market in general (london is a notable exception) remains both weak in terms of prices achievable as well as sales volume (arguably the more important indicator)

Peel Hunt currently SELL with 27p target.
Northland Capital currently HOLD.

HARRY , if i listened to brokers i'd be bankrupt by now :)

Yes, I tend to agree, though it's still useful to know what the consensus is.

Blimey - I've got more than this chap.
