The British banking giant Barclays is expected to report a 36% drop in annual profits to £2.8bn, with earnings hit by bad debt provisions during a global pandemic. However, its spin doctors will find it much easier to control that narrative than another corporate scandal or investigation involving its chief executive, Jes Staley.

Today could be one of those FTSE catch-up days imo. Though the FTSE could double today and it would still be lagging the DOW by historical point ratios.

Boris Johnson's Love Affair with Communist China Update:


Ban China and Russia from supplying UK military, MPs tell government

MPs are calling on the government to ban China and Russia from any involvement in supplying equipment to Britain's armed forces.

The Commons Defence Sub-Committee said nine companies operating in the UK defence sector had been acquired by Chinese firms in recent years, including a firm printing circuit boards used in the American F-35 fighters operated by both the British and US armed forces.

Six of the nine companies list defence as a key business area.

Thanks manic. I'm still very long since April, put on a medium term recovery play on barclays, Lloyds, NatWest, standard chartered and metro (metro i bought later) and haven't range traded along the way. At some point i feel i need to cut back my bank exposure (excluding metro, metro is a special situation play) .. but just not clear when. I'm of the opinion that we will have a relatively short term v-shaped recovery when things open up again (pent up demand)... And after that a long drawn out recession (when consumers go into a cautious saving mode, and companies go into debt repayment mode, both of which suck as lot of spending power out of the economy, which will depress growth\gdp). But when to cut back on my bank exposure is the big question (banks are about 30 percent of my portfolio).

summsc: cautiously long, hoping for 163p this month though not putting the farm on it by a long chalk.

[simmsc] 14/2/2021 17:15

How many of you are long or flat going into the figures\updates for the banks that will start at the end of this week?

[diku] 14/2/2021 17:03

Think doubt they will pay 2020 divi...if they do might be a token sum...probably give a hint for 2021 during iterims...didn't BOE tell banks to be prepared for negative rates...computer upgrades?...

Surely with the dividend reinstated, that will allow income funds to reinvest in Barcs?

[m1k3y1] 14/2/2021 15:57

Barc rarely pays above 3%, regardless of the SP

There was an article yesterday quoting analysts expect 3.5p per share. They have to be very careful about what message it sends as the country isn't out of the woods yet.

[karv1] 14/2/2021 14:11

Hi does anyone have any ideas on the dividend amount after the final results, I read that analysts think it will be low ie 3% to 4%, any thoughts?
