Daphne Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Any wise thoughts on what may be driving it down? Had thought summer doldrums but today’s action feels a little more aggressive! D
blainehodder Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 I kind of thought buybacks were driving it up at the close from 700-770. Here it seems like a reversion where one or two big players are using that price bump to get out. Or someone knows something. Or it is random stochastic movement. Who knows? Narratives are fun but not useful. I added at 700 today.
FFHWatcher Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 4.5M shares traded since March 1, 2018 Looks like they have bought back and canceled approx. 110,000 shares since March 1 2018. 2.4% of the volume is FFH buying back shares. $706 is the highest price FFH has paid to buyback.
StubbleJumper Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 The last quote that I saw a few minutes ago was US$531. And Q1 adjusted BV was what, a shade better than US$490? So, we are at less than 1.1X BV, and taking into account Q2 it might be more like 1.05X. That's pretty cheap.... SJ
Crip1 Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 No idea what's driving this move. Interesting, though, is that FFH's price is moving inversely to MKL(2018.5.17 - 2018.6.17 MKL was down 2.8% and FFH was up 6%. Since then FFH is down 9% and MKL is up 3%). Something similar happened during Q1 of this year as well. If FFH moves below US$500 I'll most likely add, else, I'll wait on earnings. We've had a few instances of good earnings and the price moving sharply higher within the week. If earnings come back solid and there's not an immediate move, I may add then as well. -Crip
cwericb Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 That's one of the things that I like - but find confusing - about FFH is that after posting good results, there is often a delay of several days before the stock price reacts. It's almost like having advance notice of the results.
Tommm50 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Huge volume (relatively) at the open for FRFHF again, seems like something weird is going on.
StubbleJumper Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Share price is sliding again. Another couple days of this and maybe FFH will be able to repurchase shares at adjusted book value? It's the gift that keeps on giving! SJ
