Barclays Dividend Growth Story Still In Tact (Although Delayed)

Summary

Barclays delivered a very credible 2nd quarter earnings.

New management signaled a surprising change to dividend policy by keeping dividend flat for 2015.

Barclays' stock was up strongly after earnings release despite lowering 2015 dividends expectations.

Longer term though, management reiterated its commitment for a high and progressive dividend policy.

Given that its core businesses are quite capable of generating ~15% RoTCE throughout the cycle - Barclays, at this entry price, still looks extremely attractive for income investors, especially considering the expected progressive dividend policy. While 2015 is still a transition year for Barclays' dividends, one would expect very strong dividend growth to follow in 2016 and beyond.

Hamilton to consider tax breaks for Barclays, 1.5K jobs

Hamilton City Council will consider approving tax incentives Wednesday in support of Barclays Services' plan to locate a call center in the city that could eventually employ 1,500 workers.

The Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved a seven-year tax credit worth as much as $5.1 million to Barclays Services late last month.

It is unclear how much Hamilton's approval of a 10-year tax credit could be worth to Barclays Services. Hamilton's passage of incentives is required to confirm the state incentive.

UK income stars buy Barclays after ousting of boss

Citywire AAA-rated James Lowen and Clive Beagles add Barclays to their JOHCM UK Equity Income fund for first time in five years.

Beagles and Lowen, who have long been bullish on financial stocks, responded by adding the bank to their fund for the first time in five years. 'Late in the month we... added Barclays to the fund following the change in chief executive,' they said in an update.

'This is likely to accelerate the strategy of focusing on the core business and improve the performance of the investment bank,' they said.

Donald Trump is only repeating what Sir Goldsmith said 20 years ago

"In this interview, Sir Goldsmith discusses the ramifications of free-trade agreements that were about to take place in 1994 (GATT), as you can retrospectively see, he correctly predicted many of the things that happened after that."

Non-farm payrolls broadly bullish

The US jobs data was, overall, bullish and dealers are still divided over as to when interest rates will increase.
David Madden Market Analyst, London

Friday 07 August 2015 14:19

In July the US added 215,000 jobs on the payrolls, but traders were anticipating 225,000, and the June report was revised higher to 231,000 from 223,000. The unemployment rate held steady at 5.3%, and that was in line with dealer’s expectations. The one stat that may make the Fed have a second think about a September rate rise is the wage growth number which came in at 2.1% on a year-on-year basis, and analyst were hoping to see 2.3%. A declining unemployment rate is all well and good, but central bankers will want to see healthy earnings growth before to move on the base rate.

As the US edges towards full-employment this has spurred on sentiment that a rate hike may be coming sooner than anticipated, and that has been reflected in the financial markets. Gold has been the biggest casualty and dropped to a three-day low on the back of the release. The dollar has gained ground against the euro and pound, and equity markets initially trade lower after the announcement, but have started to reverse their losses.
