Can anyone explain why the margin for Taylor wimpey is 5% whilst Balfour Beatty is 15%.

Both companies being in ftse 100 and similar risk?

Rolls Royce has shown extreme volatility recent but its margin remains at 5%?

Hi 

 

Thanks for your question - a very good one relevant to recent movements.

 

Balfour Beatty (BBY) is FTSE 250 listed as opposed to the FTSE 100 listings of Rolls Royce (RR) & Taylor Wimpey (TW). As a general rule, we do have lower margin rates for FTSE 100 companies than for FTSE 250, as these tend to be larger and more liquid than their FTSE 250 counterparts.

 

Margin rates are decided on a number of factors though, including but not limited to current market volatility. Market Cap & liquidity have a big effect on the margin.

 

RR has a market cap of £12.75 Billion, TW a market cap of £6 Billion and BBY with a smaller value of £2 Billion.

 

To give you an idea of liquidity for these 3 companies: RR has traded a total volume of 1.8 million shares so far today. TW a volume of 2.5 million, with BBY coming in much lower at volume of 95,000 currently.

 

We do take risk and volatility into account, and adjust margin rates from time to time dependent on these factors. If RR or any other company were to become much more volatile than usual over a prolonged period, it is possible that we would raise margin rates at that point as a precaution.

 

I hope this helps explain things. Thanks again for your question.

 

Regards,

    • You all will agree with me that many of us tends to focus on big names like BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP. I've followed this trend too. But lately, I've realized there's a whole world of opportunities beyond these mainstream coins. Taking a closer look at the market: BTC and ETH haven't doubled since the start of 2024. Meanwhile, some lesser-known crypto projects have shot up by 400% and more. I am not talking about memecoins  Just today while reading an article about ONDO and ZEEBU published by Bitget, I was amazed to see the incredible growth these two tokens have undergone in the past few months. While ONDO deals with tokenized real-world assets, ZEEBU is a loyalty token for smoother global transactions, rewarding users along the way. Both have seen incredible growth recently. Sure, holding BTC has its perks, but tokens like ONDO and ZEEBU are gaining traction fast. They've already hit billion-dollar market caps from humble beginnings. It seems like these underdog projects might be the ones to watch during this bullish phase. But the challenge remains: how do we identify gems in this evolving landscape?
