this months purchase
Greene King is offering me about 10% more yield this week than my first purchases last July, it's one of my smaller holdings so well up the HYPTUSS list and 4.6% is above my portfolio average. SSE has slipped a bit below median weight and although well down on the TUSS rankings I'm not a slavish follower of the numbers, I do like the 5.7% forecast yield from what I hope is a fairly reliable dividend payer, with a policy to peg increases to RPI for the next 3 years.

Re: this months purchase
GNK is on my "add" list....Just need to wait for some divvies to come in. For me it would be new sector.

GNK - travel and leisure, I have Dieago, in a different sector - Beverages - but I think similar, EasyJet is described as the same sector, doesn't seem to me that similar. Britivic I looked at some months ago prompted by comments on boards but not for me. Some years back I held Britivic, profit harvested to swap into the ISA. Next up looks like Imperial Brands and Pennon.

Re: this months purchase
I notice Pennon dropped today - it's been slowly coming back. I do intend to buy the "other half unit" when some cash I'm expecting comes in. I just hope the price doesn't sail back up before then.

Credit Suisse downgraded them 3 days ago to 'underperform' from 'neutral' and lowered the price target from 800p to 680p, which at least partly explains the drop.

Credit Suisse do seem to have a downer on PNN, while HSBC & Deutsche Bank seem to like them.

I topped up on the Credit Suisse downgrade

I'm sniffing around Geene KIng myself, to sit alongside my DGE holdings. Similar but not the same. Not in a rush to buy just yet, but one for the future maybe.

Just to spell out the differences: Greene King has substantial property assets, and what are basically mortgage debts to go with them - and like all or most other companies with significant UK-based property assets, its price dropped in the aftermath of the Brexit vote.
Also, a substantial amount of its business is essentially restaurants / pub meals - Diageo is a much 'purer' booze company. Which I believe explains the official sector difference - it's substantial enough to put Greene King at the "leisure" end of the Travel & Leisure sector rather than in Beverages.

So that explains why they were cheaper than expected when I topped them up on the 17th. I'd set up the buy via Halifax the week previously using one of their regular investment days and got a few more than I expected when the buy went through - I'm not complaining.

Bit of a novice question, but here goes. What does a target price mean? Or more specifically over what time frame is the target set? Is it the price a bank thinks the shares should be now or where they will tend towards over time, or something else?

A quick google gives Investopedia Target Price. Seems to me to be an accurate explanation.

Thanks Raptor. I do find it confusing that a bank can give a target price well below the current price but categorise the share as neutral. A current example of this being ISAT.

Re: this months purchase
There is a summary of the various broker recommendations on Pennon here:

I was contemplating adding PNN to my portfolio but then decided against it, after reading the latest reviews.
