Barclays Share Discussion Threads

How stupid of the UK government, allowing themselves to self destroy the UK economy in order to keep the PM's new Lefty wife happy, on the false premise that her green agenda, will actually make any difference to the world as a whole ?

PRBSHARES: anything less than 5% on the UT is a bit of a disappointment today imo. Let's see.Woul do be good to get past 182p in the coming sessions if possible as a suggestion of momentum.

Then you look like a fool.

Barclays rallied after it smashed first-half profit estimates as it released £700m in impairments, resumed dividends and announced a £500m share buyback. The bank reported pre-tax profit of £5bn for the six months to June 30, well above the consensus forecast of £4.1bn, and up from £1.3bn.

Does anyone know how much Barc still have stashed away saved from impairments?

Eventually this money will have to be paid out in some form.

In the Q1 report it was referred to as “Total Balance Sheet Impairment Allowance”, it was £8.8bn, so if the have released just over £700m, i assume they still have around £8.1bn?

Cheers

Copying off me. Although you’re 2hrs late. Lol.

Todays closing price...171.65p

[investtofly] 28/7/2021 10:38

I wouldn't trust any Government to run a HORNBY TRAIN SET let alone a National Railway Network.Just look at their handling of COVID

[smartie6] 28/7/2021 10:30

What time will we begin to see the sell off.

Money on 172 or lower close?

[portside1] 28/7/2021 10:07

Train fares are far to high they should be taken back by the gov and run for non profit only to make money to update and fix the system ,And cut the drivers pay ,and advertise for new apprentice drives With a fixed starting income and fixed for 5 years .

And the perception London is seen as the Financial Capital of the World...for Who?...

[manics] 28/7/2021 09:23

diku: it is sad too see what London has become, and this before even China has had her way. It is depressing that you cannot say with full confidence that the FTSE will break 8k in 10 years.BARC. FTSE. All nowhere in decades.

[diku] 28/7/2021 09:11

Manics...think the entire market/shares are now becoming trade only rather than buy and hold for infinity period considering FTSE still at Y2000...and if a company receives a bid and you are in it count it as luck than judgement...



I'd hoped for a recovery though was naïve to place to much emphasis on share price past. Trade only imo, not as an investment for another year or so.

[reidy66] 28/7/2021 09:06

It needs to close above 178 to attack the 188R.

[prbshares] 28/7/2021 09:01

Manics : so where is the tipping point of conviction for you ? .... based on the UT on close today ?




Deciding whether to position further if I have real conviction in 190p.

[manics] 28/7/2021 09:01

diku: CEY have interims due early August. I say AISC is far too high, new prospects will translate to yet higher CAPEX and nearly all the figures look grim -look at FCF YOY.I'd hoped for a recovery though was naïve to place to much emphasis on share price past. Trade only imo, not as an investment for another year or so.Au price remains stubborn.All imo.

[smartie6] 28/7/2021 09:00

Fear for all those who’ve bought in at such a high price this morning.

Sell off later today will be gut wrenching.

[diku] 28/7/2021 08:54

Any opinion on CEY?...

[manics] 28/7/2021 08:52

PRBSHARES: I placed a small long yesterday but didn't live post. Now it's a Harry Hindsight trade so doesn't carry weight imo.Deciding whether to position further if I have real conviction in 190p.

As we come out of Covid with more and more M & A activity, the profits will get stronger and stronger. This will be boosted by higher interests rates over next few years. The tide has finally changed for banking. About bleeding time.
