Sky Network Television Ltd: Time for some Stripping!

After the latest Sky Network Television Ltd [SKT.NZX] profit result current shareholders are in for an early Christmas present in the form of a hefty and very attractive (like the completely in context photo to your left)dividend.

SKT have had a very good 12 months to June 30 2011 and on top of their 10.5c regular dividend they are paying a special dividend of 25c as a bonus. If you are eligible for the tax credits this is just under 50c per share or an approx 8% return on the current share price of $5.80.

What I am surprised about is that the share price has been stagnant since the announcement last Friday given the hefty return this would give the average investor and the fact that one would be stretching to get a third of this return if they left their green stuff in the bank.

The company is likely to have a another good year for full year 2012 with revenue gleaned from increased Rugby World Cup subscriptions so either I am missing something or potential investors are asleep at their computers.

If you look at the SKT share price (see 1 year chart below) it has been trading around its current level since May and is up about 15% since January so the stock price has mirrored an overall increase in stock prices for that period so you couldn't really say its share price has left the realities of its fiscal performance for the previous 12 months.

Investors have until 7 September to qualify for the payout and will get the green stuff in their banks just a week latter.

I good move for you dividend strippers out there.

Share Investor Portfolio: Value @ 26 August 2011

The Share Investor Portfolio is down over the last week after further global market jitters. In the last week of August the portfolio was down 2.06% or $4733.91 on the August 19 update .

The fall was bolstered in small part to a profit result and attached dividend from AIA.

For the first 33 weeks of 2011 the portfolio has increased by 7.8 % or $18816.53. Small falls right across the board - apart from one or two stocks - led the fall with SKC and MFT making up the biggest contributors to the portfolio negativity.

The total of unspent dividends and interest in the bank as at 19 August from the 2010 - 2011 earnings years is $$29,904.51 at close of reporting season for 2010 and at the mid -part of the 2011 2nd half reporting year. There are also approx $60000.00 in tax credits earned from the portfolio since it began in late 2002.

The Share Investor Portfolio has increased in value by 12.53% or $32573.67 since I began tracking it for this blog on October 11 2010

Share Investor Portfolio 2: Value @ 26 August 2011

The Share Investor 2 Portfolio is a separate portfolio apart from the original Share Investor Portfolio and contains just one share, Contact Energy Ltd [CEN.NZX]. It will only have this one share in it and has a far shorter time frame than the original long-term portfolio that I started 8 years ago.

The portfolio was started July 7 with 9000 shares purchased at $5.34 at a total cost of
$48,060.00 and $144.18 in brokerage.

After the 42th day of trading the portfolio was up by $2788.68 or 5.8% on the August 19 update to be worth a total of $46890.00.

30% of the rise was due to a net dividend of $1080.00 from the CEN profit result out Monday 22 2011.

The portfolio is down 0.19% or $91.32 since tracking began on July 7 2011.
