The instos playing amongst themselves (churning) with the 95 million shares from the sell down helps support the price ....along with some insider support

I find it hard to understand the people complaining about OCA not delivering enough "shareholder value". They are now listed for something like 3 years and delivered already (in average) more than 5% capital appreciation per year as well as a roughly similar sized dividend.

If we look at the so called gold standard in retirement villages - Ryman's share price flat lined for longer periods at a time than OCA is totally listed. Didn't they nevertheless deliver great shareholder value? I would think so ...

Just have a look how much "shareholder value" Ryman returned during the first three years it was listed. Jeez, what a dud ...
Note - generating shareholder value for long term investors means not controlling the daily / weekly / monthly SP jitter, but adding value to an organisation over decades. OCA started (as listed company) with lots of quite mediocre old people homes at outstanding sites but with lots of potential to turn them into top notch retirement villages. Doing so does take time - but I am sure the rewards will come.
I am happy to wait for that point in time and content with the average capital appreciation and dividend they pay me so far for waiting.
The stock has been very flat lately and fair enough because the result was of the same nature. Ofcourse its perplexing because some 'solid' stocks have done nothing of note and rocketed up because of their reputation as safe haven stocks (AIA for example). OCA don't get that kind of luxury due to their unknown namesake in the market place.
While I like where this one is going, and the future is bright from what they have indicated. I think that this FY they will have to deliver some promising results or prospective and/or current shareholders will start to get a bit restless. I believe their core competency has been on delivering units on time and on budget which is no easy feat, the care side as a whole has yet to hit critical mass in this country. Building units is great, but you can't sell a good secret and getting them sold is the next hurdle.
I'm not 100% sure on their marketing, and the deep discount of no fees for two years is a bit suspicious. I need to see some solid numbers to validate the good work they seem to be doing.
Disc: Hold a small parcel but willing to accumulate based on how they go at HY.
The inability to date to control spending coupled with the Macca overhang means there are two giant sized elephants in the room, this coupled with a large number of recirculating shares from the last Macca peanut offload equals a very stagnant share price with no immediate reason for any lasting increase to occur.
.......but long (long) term a bonza of an investment eh Couts
But punters should note your comment re no immediate reason for any lasting increase to occur.
Makes you wonder where share price might be today without that recirculating / churning of shares from the last sell down. I hazard a guess manybdont appreciate theveffect that is having.

Oh dear, I found another village being advertised to me whilst on Newshub with No weekly fees for 2 years... I am to worried to look at any more OCA villages to see if there are any more that have this promo.
What is worse is both of the villages I have seen (The Sands and Meadowbank) are suppose to be really flash, high margin sort of stuff (both with 2 bedrooms starting at $850k) and yet they obviously aren't selling very well, otherwise they wouldn't be giving away $15,000 or so in free weekly fees.
