probably holding it down to help with the buyback.Since 8 July 2015, Marks & Spencer has purchased 12,192,383 shares at a cost (including dealing and associated costs) of GBP62,592,266.



buyback will leave more residual profit for holders and result in bigger dividends in future

[philanderer] 11/11/2015 10:40

Not much sign of buying for the dividend so far :-S
