Global Britain

"Just as well Theresa May was kicked out, it would have economic suicide with her Government policies.Remainers will never believe or want this to happen. Sadly they would rather see the country on its knees so they can say we told you so. But my bet is in 2 years time no one will admit they were a remainer."

bernie.......quote "which may mean that the stock struggles to post strong capital growth in the near term"

Think that says it all.

Wonder if the bank has leaked this ahead of results ?

Bernie let's hope we are hoping to get bigger divs that will push the share price up

Barclays

The outlook for Barclays (LSE: BARC) has been uncertain for a number of years. Brexit risks and a low interest rate environment have not produced especially favourable operating conditions for the wider banking sector. Those same risks could be present throughout 2020, which may mean that the stock struggles to post strong capital growth in the near term.

Despite this, the recent results from the bank showed that it is delivering a resilient performance. It is adopting a disciplined stance on costs, while seeking to invest in digital operations that could catalyse its financial prospects.

Furthermore, Barclays is expected to pay a rising dividend over the medium term. Next year, for example, its dividend is forecast to be 60% higher than it was in 2019. This puts it on a forward yield of 5.9%, with its shareholder payouts expected to be covered 2.5 times by net profit in 2021.

This suggests that there is scope for the company’s dividend payout to rise at a brisk pace over the coming years, which could enhance its appeal to a wide range of investors. Ultimately, a rising dividend may boost demand for its shares and produce an improving performance for investors.

They both keep their Duke/Dutchess titles which is all they need to make lots of money. These hold a lot of weight in celebrity circles so really they got what they wanted in the end.

The Green New Deal is economic insanity that is authoritarianism on steroids, designed to impoverish the people. Poor people are easier to control. If any nation could implement it it would be the Germans but even they can see through it. It is an unconscionable power grab.

imo, our special yankee friends are the ones controlling all uk bank shares and it seems that they are quite happy to make their dosh trading up and down and generally slagging off our banks. All the US executives that have been in key positions at Barclays have done nothing apart from collect big salaries and bonuses. It almost seems like they all take the jobs to destroy the bank rather than run it properly.
Don't forget, the yanks will do e masters anything to make money. They are masters and run the markets at their leisure.
