Barclays Share Discussion Threads

diku : agreed on the illusion but still injects some strength onto the share price I don't think Barc could have come straight out with a 5% divi, I hoped for 3.7% but in the grand scheme of things I will settle for this structure.

A meaningful improvement doesn't mean much when you're starting from a low base (so would say my old Sales Director!)

I 'expect' many things in life...I'm often disappointed.

“Barclays remains well capitalised, well provisioned for impairments, highly liquid, with a strong balance sheet, and competitive market positions across the Group," Staley said. "We expect that our resilient and diversified business model will deliver a meaningful improvement in returns in 2021.”

One thing is for sure insiders in big funds new results

Buybacks is an illusion just like share consolidation...share awards coming up so lets do a buy back...boost the eps...we beat the estimates...

PRBSHARES: Some £250bn in additional savings and paid down debt through the pandemic. Massive pent up demand!

I should like to see BARC put a "roaring 20" on from here which I think sounds fair!

[prbshares] 18/2/2021 08:14

Manics : I am with you (and not because I am a long holder) based on the results and what it says if you read into it .

The bank is profitable through the worst financial pandemic induced coma the market has seen .... come on guys, maybe Jes's 'roaring 20's' comment carries some weight ??

[manics] 18/2/2021 08:14

Here we go.

Q1 so right away on the £700 they should burn though it quickly

[portside1] 18/2/2021 08:12

So when and how hard are they going t start to buy back

[jordaggy] 18/2/2021 08:11

I see income investors bailing for better returns elsewhere.

Will listen to the webcast 9.30

Was anyone brave at 152p ? .... I had taken my last top up yesterday so this morning was just for the ride as they say ....

[manics] 18/2/2021 08:10

FTSE blue. Come on BARC lets have the classic 08:30 move.

[prbshares] 18/2/2021 08:07

IMO....The fact that they have reinstated a divi (albeit 1%) is a clear message that things aren't so bad and Barc is expecting positive movement. The bank has put vast sums aside for bad debt and thus we could never expect huge profits based on this. Overall I think this is a good result and will reflect this over the coming week or so... and thats not just a positive spin comment from a 'long holder'. gla

[prbshares] 18/2/2021 08:03

bumpy ride coming up but imo blue by end of the day.... gla

[manics] 18/2/2021 08:02

I just don't buy it. Blue coming today imo.

[pugugly] 18/2/2021 08:01

Buy backs just help institutions - not good (imo) for PI's

[martym] 18/2/2021 08:01

Down grrrrrr

[prbshares] 18/2/2021 07:58

700m buy back will help support the share price ....

[forcemode] 18/2/2021 07:58

Bloomberg reporting is quite positive.....

[high yields] 18/2/2021 07:53

Miserable 1p of 154p
