Cez report Q1 2015

Due to the dropped ball Cez are of course also out with their Q1 report for 2015 and this is the short summary of what was in it. Unless there has been any more dropped balls then I am now finished with all the annual and quarter reports for my holdings and I look forward to start digging into some new ones!

Cez annual report 2014

Here comes the big ball dropper! I have missed to report the annual report from Cez that were out already with figures in beginning of March and the final report was out in the end of April. Since I stepped over to using the RSS Feeds I am relying on that I get a poke each time something like this appears and for Cez I did not get that which is the reason for the ball dropper.

K+S report Q1 2015

My only mining company K+S arrived with their Q1 report for 2015 and the reading was indeed very pleasing for me and any other shareholder in this company. I am now only two weeks behind reporting and the actual publication of the report so that warms my soul.

Talanx report Q1 2015

Talanx which is one of my latest investments have also arrived with their Q1 report for 2015. The report is thicker (almost 90 pages) than what I like to see in quarter report. Short and dense those are the magic words for quarter reports.

E.On report Q1 2015

Sometime ago E.On informed that they would split the company into the old dirty part and a spring fresh blooming part back then there were not much else information and this time we found out a bit more.

MüRe report Q1 2015

I have started to catch up and with this summary I am only three weeks after the publication date! MüRe is my favourite reinsurance company that have over the years treated me very well. So what did then the first quarter look like?

All the companies on DAX 2015

The list is once again completed and I am proud to claim that I am more than one month quicker than last year and I hope that in 2016 I will have managed to finish the list already in the end of April / beginning of May. Now I must quickly sort out my hated PIFs with reweighing of the shares and companies and then finally start looking for more companies while reporting the half year reports that will soon start dropping in.

Coba report Q1 2015

Here comes the brief summary of the Q1 2015 report Coba, which is the second largest bank of Germany that back in 208/2009 failed one step more than DB and had to get capital from the German taxpayers to survive. This they often repaid in kindness by pushing out their bad assets to the German population, often to elderly people, that trusted in that the bank they had been customers with for 30+ years would not cheat them. How wrong they were and shame on Coba and all the other banks for that matter.

Adidas report Q1 2015

The report from Adidas is out since some time and I keep my fingers crossed that I will manage to push out all the brief summaries of the Q1 reports as well as the analysis of all the DAX companies before the month of May is over because soon the Q2 reports will start to drop in and with them I do not want to be silly late as I am now. So what was in the Adidas report?

Kernel operating report Q3 2015

Time to take a look at the operating report from Kernel and I must say that I thought that their business would have been slowing down more and more for each quarter but they have still managed to keep things up by the look of it!

Dividend from DB: May 2015

Well, well, well, Deutsche Bank paid the same dividend for the at least fifth year in a row. The shareholders meeting, which I missed out on, were yesterday and I followed it on twitter. It was indeed plenty of angry and upset people present there. Not due to the dividend payment but due to all the legal problem DB have had and that they still have not managed to clean the house... the problem is a snake and not a scorpion. Meaning you need to bite off the head and not the tail to start the purification.

Due to that I now own 241 shares in Deutsche Bank I received per share 0.75 € this gave me in total 180.75 €. From this I had to pay 47.67 € in taxes and left as cash on my broker account was 133.08 €. This gives ma a YoC of 2.6% after over three years as a shareholder and that, is to be frank, bad!

Pershing Square: William Ackman Q1 2015

The final investor that I follow is William and here we will take a look at the changes he did. Little happened but still a bit of excitement.

For the previous report please visit Pershing Square: William Ackman Q4 2014.

The new investments were:

Actavis - a pharmaceutical company working with specialty products as well as generics. Actually Actavis bought Allergan that William had shares in so this is the reason for why he is now in here instead and Allergan is out.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals - Seems to be yet another mainly generics company.

Conclusion: The activity from William if one account for the take-over very low. Sold no companies or shares and only made a new investment in the form of Valeant Pharma which did not make me very excited.

BASF report Q1 2015

The Q1 report from BASF is also since some time out and what I liked in this report is that already on page 4 they describe a new invention made by them. I hope it will continue like that so that we shareholders in each report get a brief and clear description of what our money is being spent on and also in which direction the company is going towards in the future. So what was in it?

Fugro operating report Q1 2015

Hmmm... I just got a reminder on Twitter that I was behind schedule with my summary from different companies quarter reports. This is indeed very true. The problem comes from owning many companies and all of them release their annual as well as their Q1 reports at more or less the same time. I do not see how I will ever be able to keep up with that in the future unless I decide only to report annual and half year reports but that is not something I want to do. Nay, I will go on as I have and hopefully next year I will then no longer have the extra full-time study burden and will be able to respond quicker  to the massive flow of reports that arrive in spring.

So what was then in this short operating report from Fugro?

Dividend from K+S: May 2015

My German mining company, K+S, made a massive increase in the dividend payment after making a very large cut last year. The reason for the cut was due to all the fears with decreasing prices, weak USD etc. Now those fears are apparently gone and for that reason they made an increase of the dividend payment from 0.25 € to 0.9 €.

So for each of my 152 shares in K+S I received 0.9 € which gave in total 136.8 €. From this I was forced to pay taxes in the size of 36.08 € which gave me 100.72 € as cash on my broker account. This gives me a YoC of 4.4% which is pretty good but I expect it to get much better next year.
