From website: Subject to no adverse change in operating outlook, Spark anticipates paying a total FY18 dividend per share of 25.0 cents that is at least 75% imputed. This dividend is likely to be made up of an ordinary dividend determined by earnings, topped up by a special dividend to maintain a total dividend per share of 25.0 cents.
H1 FY18 Results Announcement 21 Feb 2018,
Dividend paid 1st-2nd week of April,
So what will shake the sp up? (ignoring that tiny red drop underneath the trend line?) Perhaps a good time to buy. (Discl: don't currently hold but watching.)

On a dividend yield of 7% net currently and a PE of 15, I reckon it's great buying atm, but I guess I'm biased as I hold a good number of them at a higher price. PS-It has yet to recover it's last divvy.

Thinking of buying a few less stressful shares to balance out my PPH and ATM roller coasters! Still looks like a good time to buy a few of these?

I am tossing up between MEL, SPK or GNE and of course HGL but that seems quite expensive atm....?

Certainly is, SPK has been range bound for quite a while now, next result and divvy not too far away, I like MEL and MCY as far as the power companies go but you won't go far wrong holding any of the others.

SPK down to $3.50 today. Looking attractive from a dividend point of view.

Indeed dividend strip seems to be on the cards.
