Posted at 25/1/2025 10:44 by waldron Which Stocks Will Be Europe’s Dividend Stars in 2025?Stellantis, Nordea Bank, and Orange are some of the stocks with the highest dividend yields at the start of 2025. Christopher Johnson 17 January, 2025 | 2:35PM Christopher Johnson: Last week, we identified which UK stocks could be 2025 dividend stocks. But are there standout dividend payers in Europe too? Looking at Morningstar data, we found the top three undervalued and high yielding European dividend payers. Italian American car manufacturer Stellantis has a dividend yield of 12.81% and paid an annual dividend of €1.55. CJ: The company is currently trading at €12.33, below Morningstar’s fair value estimate of €18.90. After a nearly 40% fall in the share price over one year, this explains the move in a dividend yield above 10%. Stellantis owns brands ranging from Chrysler to Fiat, and was the UK’s bestselling electric van manufacturer in 2024. However, in November of last year, the company announced it could close its Luton van plants in April. Now the bank comes in second place. The leading Nordic bank has an 8.3% dividend yield. Nordic Bank is currently trading at around 128.15 Swedish krona, below Morningstar’s fair value estimate of 152 Swedish krona. Morningstar analysts are bullish on Nordea because the bank’s management has successfully addressed the declining income and slowing profitability it faced in recent years. Nordea is now tapping into investments in private banking in Norway and Sweden, and by regaining momentum on mortgages. CJ: French telecommunications giant Orange has an annual dividend yield of 7.27% and pays an annual dividend of 0.72 cents. Orange is currently trading at €10.08, marginally below Morningstar’s fair value estimate of almost €13.40. Morningstar analysts back the company because it is a leading telecommunication provider in France. They say it owns the best mobile and fixed line networks and enjoys long standing relationships with the French government. Orange also has a growing footprint in Africa, an advantage that puts it ahead of its European competitors. The author or authors do not own shares in any securities mentioned in this article.

Posted at 11/12/2024 07:37 by waldron Share buybacks: are we getting value for money?Tue 11:24am by Roland Head stockopedia Share buybacks have become hugely popular in recent years. By buying back their own shares and then cancelling them, companies can engineer an increase in earnings per share in excess of any increase in total profit. In theory, the resulting increase in both earnings and earnings growth will support a higher share price and a higher price-to-earnings (P/E) rating. If carried out correctly, share buybacks can represent an attractive investment opportunity for a business and its shareholders. But as I’ll explain, this is not always the case. Other motivations may drive some executives’ buyback decisions. The sums of money committed to buybacks are often large and can exceed the cost of a company’s annual dividend. This means shareholders are swapping potential cash special dividends for the less certain benefits of a shrinking share count. I think it’s worth considering more closely what buybacks mean for shareholders and how we can gauge whether they are likely to represent an attractive use of a company’s capital. Dividend vs buybacks A dividend is a cash payment that you or I will receive in our brokerage account. This payout reduces the book value of the company in line with the amount of cash spent, but shareholders are no poorer. We have our share of this cash and can do with it as we wish. A dividend is truly a return of capital to shareholders. The same description is often applied to buybacks, but I think this is somewhat misleading. When a company buys back its own shares, it expends cash, but shareholders do not receive it. In theory, the benefits of the buyback will mean that the remaining shares become more valuable, both in terms of their market price and their intrinsic value. However, reality often falls far short of this rose-tinted ideal. Consider drinks giant Diageo (LON:DGE), historically seen as a good stock for long-term investors. Between June 2021 and June 2023, Diageo spent £3.7bn buying back 98.8m shares at a weighted average cost of 3,708p. Very roughly, that was about 160p per share, equivalent to a yield at the time of about 4.3%. Shareholders could have received that cash, but they didn’t. Today, the company’s shares are trading over 35% lower, at 2,335p. Diageo’s net debt has risen by around £2.7bn… |
Posted at 21/5/2024 10:15 by waldron Aleman21 May '24 - 10:55 - 693 of 693 0 0 0 [...] LINK BLOCKED BY ADVFN UK dividends grow modestly, but cash is still king 25 April 2024 One-off payments will drive dividends in 2024, according to Computershare’ By Matteo Anelli, Senior reporter, Trustnet UK dividends increased 4.9% to £15.6bn in the first quarter of 2024, the latest Computershare Dividend Monitor report revealed. However, most of this growth was driven by one-off payments. Underlying dividend growth remained steady at 2% – a “healthy but unexciting” trend, which will continue for most sectors throughout the year, reflecting a sluggish global economy, Computershare said. With prospective yields on UK equities stuck at 4%, income-seeking investors may gravitate towards higher-yielding bonds and cash, said David Smith, manager of the Henderson High Income Trust. “The UK equity market is attractively valued but cash and bonds are now greater competition for investors’ capital. The advantage that equities provide is inflation protection through dividend growth, but that is likely to be relatively low this year,” he said. But there is light at the end of the tunnel for equity income investors. Things are expected to improve throughout the second half of this year as cost pressures ease, interest rates are cut and economies start to recover, driven by real wage growth and a more buoyant consumer. Computershare experts upgraded their headline forecast from £93.9bn to £94.5bn in total payouts for 2024 – a 4.3% year-on-year increase against the previous forecast of 3.7%. Most of this will be driven again by special dividends, which Computershare expects will be significantly larger than in 2023. Regular dividends are expected to be worth £89.5bn, up 1.5% year-on-year on a constant-currency basis. |
Posted at 25/1/2024 10:27 by adrian j boris HSBC regains crown as top UK dividend payer for first time since GFCOverall UK dividends down 3.7% Cristian Angeloni 25 January 2024 • 3 min read Last year, banks overtook any other sector in terms of dividend payments, something that has not happened since before the Global Financial Crisis, Computershare noted. Last year, banks overtook any other sector in terms of dividend payments, something that has not happened since before the Global Financial Crisis, Computershare noted. HSBC has topped the list of UK dividend payers for 2023, a spot it has not held since 2008, after fully restoring its quarterly payouts last year. Data from Computershare's Dividend Monitor published today (25 January) revealed 2023 marked the second consecutive year in which banks made the largest contribution to UK dividend growth, with payouts rising by almost a third to £13.8bn. European dividend payouts forecast to rise by 6.5% in 2024 Last year, banks also overtook any other sector in terms of dividend payments, an event that has not occurred since before the Global Financial Crisis, Computershare noted. However, overall UK dividends fell by 3.7% to £90.5bn over 2023, due to a decrease in one-off special dividends, although regular dividends grew by 5.4% to £88.5bn. Mark Cleland, CEO issuer services UK, Channel Islands, Ireland and Africa at Computershare, said: "The return to prominence by the banks is really remarkable. 13 years of rock-bottom interest rates made it very hard for the sector to make profits, but the need to quell inflation with higher interest rates means the last two years have delivered a dramatic turnaround. Bank investors are reaping the dividends of this reversal and we expect them to see even larger payouts in 2024." The oil and utility sectors followed suit, with high energy prices driving a 15.8% increase in dividends from the oil sector, whereas inflation-linked dividend policies drove record dividends from utilities. The biggest detraction came from the mining sector, the firm found, as commodity prices and profits weakened throughout the year. Total dividends paid by the mining sector dropped to £4.5bn - down more than a quarter year-on-year - including special dividends, which are "common in the highly cyclical industry", Computershare said. Despite this, the sector still accounted for £1 in every £8 distributed by UK companies in 2023. FTSE 100 dividend forecasts fall 10% for 2023 and 2024 The Dividend Monitor highlighted dividend growth was also slowed by large share buybacks undertaken last year, which impacted the total amount of dividends paid as their aim is to reduce the number of shares in issue. Computershare argued dividend growth would have been a third faster last year had buybacks not been issued, adding it would have been even faster if "a small proportion of buyback cash had been diverted to dividends". The report forecast a slower dividend growth for 2024 at 2%, with regular dividends expected to pay £89.8bn this year. However, special dividends are expected to recover and "at least make up for the negative impact of a stronger pound" and drive the headline total up 3.7% to £93.9bn. Cleland added: "There was a lot to be cheerful about in 2023, even if lower one-off payments masked the solid progress UK dividends made. UK plc is generating a lot of cash, which means underlying dividend growth was very encouraging in 2023. "Payouts may well remain below their pre-pandemic highs, but significantly larger share buyback programmes have provided an alternative route for channelling surplus capital to shareholders. These programmes also conceal the extent to which dividends are really growing by reducing the number of shares in issue. This is not to say that either buybacks or dividends are superior - they just represent a different way of cutting the cake." |
Posted at 20/7/2023 10:00 by fordtin I'm not sure about the i3E dividend being a "Very safe bet".They cancelled the monthly dividend over a week after shareholders were expecting it to be announced and still haven't given a firm commitment to pay the proposed replacement of a quarterly dividend with a pro-rata reduction of 50%. In the recent Q&A they put several caveats about loan covenants and commodity prices, which need to be met every quarter, before any future dividends can be declared. "Q12: The reasons for the Dividend & Capex Cut have been explained well and I think understood, can you explain the reasons for moving away from a monthly dividend - this was innovative and well received by Investors - why can this be maintained and reviewed and set quarterly after financial ratio checks etc. I cannot see how a loan agreement can affect the scheduling of dividend payments? Answered in Q8 "Q8: Was it reasonable and necessary to suspend monthly dividends entirely and with little notice when many investors will have factored in the regular payments to their budgets" "Q20: Can you please clarify the dividend policy going forward. Should shareholders prepare themselves for another dividend reduction and the possibility of a further move from quarterly dividends to bi-annual or annual, or no dividend at all?" |
Posted at 27/12/2022 11:23 by spangle93 Just a note to reinforce Divmad/Bluemango's recommendation of I3E, where I'm lucky enough to have an average purchase price of 8p, so my effective dividend is 25% :-)The board stated on 22 Dec "As part of the i3's commitment to its total return model, the Company is increasing its 2023 minimum dividend by 59.4% above the total dividends paid during 2022 to £ 24.475 million, through an increased monthly dividend of 0.171 p/share - equating to an annual dividend of 2.052 p/share" I3E drilled an appraisal well in the North Sea in October this year. Unfortunately it did not prove an extension of an existing discovery, which affected the share price. Looking into 2023, there are no single well events of a similar magnitude - the company will progress the North Sea discovery towards a field development well that ties the original exploration back to third party infrastructure. However I3E is all about exploitation of, and production from, onshore resources in western Alberta, where is has sizeable acreage in new conventional plays that offer good rates of return, and where its inventory of hundreds of wells means that no one well will wildly affect the share price Note: MINIMUM dividend. In 2022 the moonthly dividend was raised during the year. Elsewhere in the hydrocarbons space DEC continues to offer a stable, rising quarterly dividend. I'm sure CASSINI would have brought it to people's attention. DEC is unique in oil and gas in that it makes its money from managing the decline of mature wells in the US, and operating infrastructure, rather than exploring for new finds, or developing discoveries. The latest quarter is 4.375 US cents, which would be 17.5c annualised (14.5p at $1.2 = £1). Current share price is 117p, so that's a nominal dividend of 12.4%. I am SO going to get shouted out here, but the majority of brokers and investors believe that this is subject to a withholding tax of 30%, or 15% if held in an ISA, or 0% if held in a SIPP. You'd also need to complete a W-8BEN form One wildly left field oiler, which has so many red flags that it could be a May Day procession in Moscow, is CASP. Who? CASP. CASP has recently announced a maiden dividend, which turned out to be rather larger than any BB expert was imagining. "The size of this maiden dividend is indicative of the levels to be expected in the future. The Board intends that the future dividends will be paid on a monthly basis, based on the higher of £1 million per month or a pay-out ratio of broadly 35-40% of free cashflows." This equates to a distribution of 0.0444 pence/share, which has been succeeded by a second monthly dividend of the same magnitude. CASP is on AIM and operates in Kazakhstan. The CEO and members of his family own a significant majority of the shares. Its communications with retail shareholders, and engagement with them, would not get a good rating on booking.com. RNS's are written by a mouthpiece for the company - the chairman - who is an accountant, so technical details often make no sense. Although Kaz isn't subject to sanctions, its oil export route is through the Urals so it's effectively treated as such the international price it can get for its oil is much lower than Brent. HOWEVER, the concert party wants a return from the company, and now they are producing over 2000 bopd, they can pay dividends. If the monthly dividends continue, then at a share price around 4p, the annualised dividend would be 13.3% Disclaimer - I hold each of these shares |
Posted at 15/10/2022 12:33 by ariane Here’s the BHP dividend forecast for 2022 to 2024This mining giant has paid out some huge dividends recently. Here, Edward Sheldon looks at the BHP Group dividend forecast for the years ahead. Edward Sheldon, CFA❯ Published 15 October, 8:47 am BST Mining powerhouse BHP Group (LSE: BHP) has been a bit of a cash cow for investors in recent years. Last financial year, for example, it rewarded shareholders with total regular dividends of USD $3.25 per share, which translates to a yield of about 13% at the current share price. Is the company set to continue paying out monster dividends going forward? Let’s take a look at the BHP dividend forecast for the years ahead. BHP dividend forecasts First, there are a couple of things to explain. The first is that BHP’s financial year ends on 30 June. So, the year ending 30 June 2023 is ‘FY2023’ The second is that BHP reports its financials, and declares its dividends, in US dollars. So, all forecasts are in dollars. This is important to note because the GBP/USD exchange rate is quite volatile at the moment. In other words, the yield on offer today could be quite different to the yield when the dividends are actually paid if exchange rates fluctuate. As for the forecasts, right now City analysts expect BHP to pay out $2.09 per share for FY2023 and $1.86 per share for FY2024. These projected payouts are lower than the $3.25 paid last financial year. However, they still translate to very high yields. At today’s share price and exchange rate, the projected payout for FY2023 equates to a prospective yield of 8.3% while the estimated payout for FY2024 translates to a prospective yield of 7.4%. Assuming that these dividend forecasts are accurate (analysts’ estimates can be way off the mark at times), BHP looks set to continue being a cash cow for investors. Are BHP shares worth buying for income? Would I buy BHP shares for the big dividends on offer? The answer to that question is actually no. One reason I’d pass on BHP is that the stock is ‘cyclical̵ I don’t see the point of collecting a 8% yield if the share price can potentially fall around 70% like it did here. I’d need many years of dividends to make up for that kind of capital loss. I prefer dividend stocks that are a little more stable in nature. Another issue for me is the fact that BHP tends to cut its dividend when business conditions are challenging. This is not ideal from an income-investing perspective. I prefer to invest in companies that consistently increase their dividend payouts year after year. I can rely on these kinds of businesses to provide me with a certain level of income. So, while the yield here does look very attractive, I won’t be buying the shares for my portfolio any time soon. Ed Sheldon has no position in any of the shares mentioned. The Motley Fool UK |

Posted at 07/9/2021 21:33 by waldron Published in:Investing 7th September 2021 Tax on share dividends to increase by 1.25%. Here’s what it means for investors Updated: by Karl Talbot | 3 min read Tax on share dividends to increase by 1.25%. Here’s what it means for investors The government has announced a 1.25% increase in the tax on share dividends that will apply from April 2022. The news comes at the same time as it was announced that National Insurance contributions will increase by 1.25% next year. The government says the rises will help fund health and social care in England. Both announcements are subject to a vote in the House of Commons. So if you’re an investor, what does the new tax on share dividends mean for you? Here’s what you need to know. How much tax is currently paid on share dividends? If you’re an investor, you currently get a dividend allowance of £2,000. So, if you receive dividends worth £2,000 or less, you don’t have to pay any tax on them. For dividends of more than £2,000, the amount of tax you pay depends on your income tax band. This is unless your investments are held in an ISA, in which case your dividend payments remain tax free. For non-tax-efficient investments, you must pay 7.5% tax on any dividends over £2,000 if you’re a basic rate taxpayer. If you’re a higher rate taxpayer, you must pay 32.5%, and it’s 38.1% if you’re an additional rate taxpayer. You can find more information on income tax bands on the gov.uk website. What are the changes to dividends tax? From April 2022, the government is implementing a 1.25% rise in the tax on dividends to help fund social care. Analysts expect that the move will raise up to £600 million, with the majority of payers coming from the top 10% of households. The new tax will not, however, apply to investments held within an ISA. Why has dividends tax increased? With a National Insurance hike of 1.25% also announced, many analysts feel that the dividends tax is a way for the government to show that it is keen to increase taxes on asset holders as well as those who rely on a working income. Critics of the National Insurance hike have repeatedly pointed to the fact that it will not apply to most pensioners, landlords or those living off income from assets, suggesting that only those relying on a working income face the burden. National Insurance, by definition, is also a regressive tax, meaning that an increase disproportionately impacts those on lower incomes. That’s because the amount of contributions you have to make, at a percentage level, decreases at higher incomes. However, critics of the dividend tax rise consider it a token gesture. That’s because the 1.25% rise won’t apply to investments held in an ISA. How has industry reacted? Commenting on the changes, Tom Selby, head of retirement policy at AJ Bell, says that investors should now take the time to examine their portfolios in order to ensure they aren’t inadvertently paying more tax than they need to. He explains: “The increase in dividend tax means people investing outside tax-sheltered wrappers like pensions and ISAs should review their portfolios to make sure they are making as much use as possible of their annual contribution allowances to keep their tax bills as low as possible.” Will the tax increase definitely go ahead? MPs will vote on the government’s health and social care plan, including the planned dividends tax rise, on Wednesday 8 September at 7pm. While a number of cross-party MPs do not approve of the proposals, the policy is expected to pass through the House of Commons. MyWalletHero… |

Dividend Reinvestment Programmes ("DRIP") The following organisations operate Dividend Reinvestment Plans ("DRIPs") which enable RDS shareholders to elect to have their dividend payments used to purchase RDS shares of the same class as those already held by them: -- Equiniti Financial Services Limited ("EFSL"), for those holding shares (a) directly on the register as certificate holder or as CREST Member and (b) via the Nominee Service; -- ABN-AMRO NV ("ABN") for Financial Intermediaries holding A shares or B shares via Euroclear Nederland; -- JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPM") for holders of A and B American Depository Shares; and -- Other DRIPs may also be available from the intermediary through which investors hold their shares. Such organisations provide their DRIPs fully on their account and not on behalf of Royal Dutch Shell plc. Interested parties should contact DRIP Offerors directly. More information can be found at To be eligible for the next dividend, shareholders must make a valid dividend reinvestment election before the published date for the close of elections.
