Rather annoyed about this. Yet more dilution, sprung on retail without warning and with little time to take up the discounted shares on offer, in my case no time as I was not advised by ii. The only saving grace is that the SP has now drifted below the offer price, so there is an element of relief that I was not tempted to add to my already large position.

Double-digit yield which looks totally secure, and reassuring that the extra shares were run without apparent difficulty at just 5% discount, but in terms of SP it seems that growth prospects will likely be snuffed by the Co's habit of diluting to fund ongoing asset purchases.

Do you mind me asking why you belive the dividend is so secure. I've only just started following, but assumed the growth in dividends was due to recent global events and wouldn't be sustainable.

Because of their hedging, which Hallucigenia explained here.

Their divi is not quite as double-figures as it looks, there is 15% WHT to be taken off, but still.... and the current SP is imho a good entry point.

Original-Research: Diversified Energy PLC (von First Berlin Equity Research GmbH): Buy.

First Berlin Equity Research has published a research update on Diversified Energy PLC (ISIN: GB00BYX7JT74). Analyst Simon Scholes reiterated his BUY rating and maintained his GBp 180.00 price target.

Abstract:
DEC reported a hedged adjusted EBITDA margin of 50% for 2022 (2021: 50%) - the fifth year in a row in which this figure has been at or above the 50% mark. Including the recent acquisition of assets from Tanos Energy Holdings, we calculate that 83% of DEC's 2023 natural gas production (gas accounts for 88% of output) is hedged at USD3.42/MMbtu - USD0.26/MMBtu above the average level of the futures strip. Last year 90% of production was hedged at USD3.24/MMBtu - USD3.40/MMBtu below the futures strip. Operating costs should fall in 2023 due to below average base lease operating expenses at the acquisition, synergies between the acquisition and nearby DEC assets, and because both production taxes and 3rd party gathering and transportation costs are linked to the commodity price. We expect a positive swing in the realised hedging result as well as lower operating costs to push adjusted EBITDA above the 2022 level and the margin again to reach 50%. Meanwhile, for good measure the stock is currently yielding 14.0%. We maintain our Buy recommendation at an unchanged price target of GBp180.

My largest holding.
I would be topping up again, with the SP below £1 and gross yield >15%, but there comes a point where even the most ardent enthusiast has to put the brakes on.

I get your common sense approach to this aspect of investing. However, as I mentioned over on The HYPP Board, I've just doubled my holdings in another share, that being LGEN. I think there comes a point when you've got all the different holdings you want on board your portfolio, and what do you do thereafter if nothing new looks attractive as an investment? You start again, not a new portfolio, but double up your current holdings. I know this isn't HYP, but this idea was put up by Stephen Bland over on HYPP here nonetheless;

https://web.archive.org/web/20071231131 ... avers.aspx HYPersavers

Just an idea, and I hope this helps? I'm not pimping HYP here, but what to do if you have a 'full' holding of a share such as DEC already as yuou've mentioned.

Ian.

I too am rather deep into DEC, with the bulk being in my SIPP meaning the yield is even bigger as it is unencumbered by withholding tax. I also topped up LGEN and MNG during the recent dips but couldn't bring myself to do so with DEC as you have to draw the line somewhere, and there is always the slight worry, oft spouted by some of the more vocal on here that the yield might be that high for a reason as yet unknown to us mere mortals.
