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,

    • Insightful write up. Personally, I use top down analysis to mark my pivot points and i prefer to call them zones. As seen from my ETH chart below, i have been swinging the bullish ride with my top down analysis. 
    • One exchange that checks the box interms of my own requirement is bitgetglobal. The exchange is reputable for been compliant with regulations globally, its copy trading is the largest with over 100k elite traders and 540k followers, its trading fees is amongst the lowest in the industry. The one area i feel they need to improve on is their P2P. This area is lagging compared to that of Binance and Bybit.
    • Here's the next set of TIME CYCLES - I've had these dates on my charts since 2015 ish Please note this is just to show you that the markets are not random and we can TIME them - the AIM of this thread is to SHOW you that dates calculated years in advance can be significant These Time Cycles are not all of them, just the ones I wanted to show you, which are the INTERNAL cycles of a bigger Time Cycle - some will hit and some won't - REMEMBER, lots of active cycles are ALL operating at the same time Notice that there's not a TC for the 2022 high - the reason is that there was one, it's just not part of this series of TC's I'm showing you - Then when we look backwards in 2034, you'll be able to see market price action around the dates and you will KNOW these are not random dates thrown on a chart in the hope of hitting - because If you are ignore the latter dates (not yet shown) in the cycle, then you will come a cropper and when Investments are concerned that will mean LOSING lots of your money I'm still using the screenshot taken in Oct 2020 - Once we complete 2025, I'll update the chart with price data and take a screen shot from then on for the next cycles The THICK BLACK line is the mid-point of the cycle, which in the grand scheme of things "should / is expected to be" a significant LOW point when viewed back in time from 2034! - It WILL NOT be a major low, so don't expect a humungous price crash to it, it will NOT be how you are imagining it in your head right now Notice that most of those cycles are "LINKED" that's because they are the same cycle which repeats THT
