Re: Victrex (VCT) Finals
One of my HYP shares. A bit of a low yield when purchased, but the results justify holding them in my opinion.

Re: Victrex (VCT) Finals
Victrex surprised me with a larger than I expected special dividend for 2018. Special dividends are forecast for 2019, 2020 and 2021 which would imply five years in a row of special dividends (including 2017 - the last one before that was 2014). I'm not sure that will happen if they have a need to make further investments, but they have a strong balance sheet.
ROCE has started recovering towards the high 20%s and the operating margin is good. I hope we will see the ROCE rise further to its historical levels in the 30%s as the investments they have made generate returns and their mega programmes make progress.
Sharescope tells me that, for the last ten years, Victrex has:
They also show the free cash flow yield as 4.6%. The current dividend yield is 2.6% (on an ordinary basis).
As always, DYOR!
