Header updated

Thanks RibbleWader, those dates from the website are Record dates (day after ex-div) so they tally with my #3037. Any chance you could change header again to match, so readers aren't confused?

[ribblewader] 07/8/2020 08:48

bluemango, Company web site @



(which I see has been changed since yesterday).

2020
30 Nov 2020 23 Oct 2020 Interim 2020 9.4p 23.2p

14 Sept 2020 07 Aug 2020 Interim 2020 13.8p

[bluemango] 06/8/2020 17:58

RibbleWader - where on the website are you getting that divi info?

I would go by the dates given in the 30th July results for now (only a week ago), which state:

13.8p paid 14 Sept, ex-div 6 Aug, and 9.4p paid 30 Nov, ex-div 22 Oct.

Header updated with Divi Dates, the BAE web site shows a different payment schedule to the RNS dated 30 July. I would not be suprised if the 2020 interim payment date moves to November. Total payment of 23.2p per share

[bluemango] 06/8/2020 09:31

Ex-div today on previously deferred final dividend 13.8p.

A and B: What are the benefits of the UK operating a mixed F-35 force?

With the jets having already declared initial operating capability and a maiden voyage for the carrier task group planned next year, the UK is well on the way to possessing a fully integrated, formidable capability in the F-35B.

Should look good to income funds and investor's.. not many other paying big companies about atm.

[bluemango] 04/8/2020 11:48

Pre Covid these got to 672. Very nice to see dividend reinstated.

That 40,000 share buy by the Chairman for his wife yesterday won't have done the share price any harm either.
Reminds me I must buy the wife something. Perhaps a couple of premium bonds?

[dope007] 04/8/2020 11:14

Funds buying in for the ex divi date Charlie

Navigating the future of undersea autonomy – Riptide year-one

One year ago, the FAST Labs™ research and development arm of BAE Systems announced the acquisition of Riptide Autonomous Solutions.

A year in and we are already seeing the successful integration of the Riptide technology making waves across the industry.

Research into 'acoustic cloaking' wins annual ICASE award

Considering the yield relative to bonds and the current safe harbour status of defence contracts I am very surprised, but happy to build a long term position

Struggling to understand the lack of improvement in share price since last Thursday. I'd welcome any constructive and reasoned comments why it's not gone up when Barclays 760, JP Morgan 750 & Deutsche Bank 675 clearly think it's good value and have commented since Thursday's half year results, and time is running out to get the dividend. Are investors waiting for something I'm not aware of?
