Imagine only 15% with a 5.8%(conservative) divi. Wow, i'd be ' happy as a pig rolling-in straw'!.

If HSBC were to move head-office to Hong Kong or Singapore, the share price is likely to rise significantly.

An old article (2011) suggested as much as a 30% premium. Times change very rapidly, but still 'food for thought'.

How is the scrip dividend calculated?



The scrip dividend is calculated using the average middle market closing price of HSBC Holdings plc ordinary shares quoted on the London Stock Exchange for the five business days beginning with the ex-dividend date of 5 March 2015. The market price is converted to US dollars (the "Market Value") using the exchange rates quoted by HSBC Bank plc in London at or about 11 am on 20 April 2015. For this dividend the scrip price is US$8.5121 (£5.6536).



The formula used for calculating your entitlement to new shares is as follows:



Number of shares held at the record date x cash dividend per share + any residual dividend entitlement brought forward = maximum dividend available for share election




Maximum dividend available

= maximum number of new shares


Market Value

(rounded down to the nearest whole number)




An online calculator to assist you in calculating your dividend entitlement is available at www.hsbc.com/dividends.



For example, if you own 1,000 ordinary shares and the cash dividend is US$0.10 per ordinary share, the maximum dividend available would be US$100. The maximum number of new shares you would receive if the Market Value was US$10 is therefore 10 new shares.



You may elect to receive new shares in respect of all or part of your holding of ordinary shares. No fraction of a share will be issued.



If you elect to receive the maximum number of new shares in lieu of your dividend, a residual dividend entitlement may arise, representing the difference between the total Market Value of the new shares and the maximum dividend available in respect of your shareholding. This residual dividend entitlement will be carried forward in United States dollars (without interest) to the next dividend. Therefore, we will pay you any residual dividend entitlement if you dispose of your entire holding; or receive the dividend in cash; or revoke your standing instruction to receive new shares; or if you ask us to send it to you.



If you have less than 43 ordinary shares you will not receive any new shares for this dividend.



The new shares will be issued subject to the Articles of Association of the Company and will rank equally with the existing issued ordinary shares in all respects.

It beggars belief,

[tanelorn] 10/3/2015 17:31

Another ex divi in two months, keeps the wife fed.

I'm in this for two years; thus looking forward to US interest rate rises.

If other shares 'mature' at the right time ( specifically whi) i might buy more.

Regards to all.

Ok no problem. must have missed it. It's just interesting to see other people's opinions of share price direction. Markets getting ready for the non farm figures at 1.30!

[smurfy2001] 06/3/2015 12:22

Supermarky, If you look back at my post history l posted an interesting chart with a revised target.

See post 6560

I'd probably do a buy then and on further weakness.

[supermarky] 06/3/2015 12:20

Smurfy did you not say a week or so ago that you wouldn't buy for a penny over 500?
