Doh, already announced it, I should have read the July RNS :)
"We know that the dividend is important to our shareholders and we intend to re-commence a progressive dividend policy based on a notional dividend of 5p per share which we expect to grow over time. The first dividend under the new policy would be a final dividend of 3.3p per share proposed at the full year results in respect of 2021."

Sharkz, Ooops, yes indeed mate, I've got BT on my mind who's results are this week.

[angersharkz] 01/11/2021 13:10

Nige - results are next week on 10th November or have I got the dates mixed up?

[slater5] 01/11/2021 12:56

Longs here deserve some cheer.

[angersharkz] 01/11/2021 11:42

Goldfinger16 - slow start to the week which is a little bit disappointing, let’s see how the week progresses but I think we’ll see a slow tick upwards from now until Q3 results.

Agree about value in UK companies. Not much sentiment in the market for them at the moment but when they start producing impressive numbers the market might open their eyes a bit.

[goldfinger16] 01/11/2021 11:34

Even with the FTSE up and a nice rec from Deutsche Bank this can't manage to get near 109p, talk about a forgotten company.

A nice little jump in BT to compensate for the lack of action here.

When are those lemmings who head these UK funds going to realise the real value is here in THE UK....

They are strong.
The commercial team could have chosen another day to present but they chose results day.
Plus reports in Campaign Magazine - advertising trade journal.
Looks like full year 2021 TV advertising markets +23% vs 2020 and +11% vs 2019.

[angersharkz] 01/11/2021 09:56

I think the 130p price target could be very conservative if ITV produce some strong numbers with the Q3 results.

DEUTSCHE BANK RAISES ITV PRICE TARGET TO 130 (128) PENCE - 'BUY'

[slater5] 31/10/2021 12:28

Thanks matt all info appreciated, I now hope that ITV have broken out of the 102-104p band where it seems to have been stuck for weeks.

I have little faith in the management here, but I hope they can surprise me.

I am still cynical but most of the vibe of the last few days has been positive, so I live in hope.

Afternoon. To follow on from yesterday’s debate about after market prints. I forgot to mention that all incomplete institutional working orders get booked out after the close.
For example: let’s say Schroders wanted to buy 2m ITV Friday , but put a 105p limit on the trade and gave the order to a broker. The broker would have bgt until circa midday (let’s say they got halfway in the order) , but then no more through the day due to the share price running away from the limit.After the close this trade would get booked out and you would see 1m shs print at something below 105. I hope this helps.

[jimbull] 30/10/2021 20:32

stan...I think the debate is now fizzling out, we need another 10p on this and a decent report and all will be happy.

As the Mama's and the Papa's sang....Monday Monday, be good to me lol.

[angersharkz] 30/10/2021 19:48

Exlogiclad - I’ve only posted here? Well that’s wrong but feel free to have another go?

I’ll try to rephrase it for you so even you might be able to understand. If the market is badly regulated, manipulated and corrupt, why would you put a load of cash into it? I thought it was pretty simple?

Bobdiamond1 - nothing to apologise for, all viewpoints welcome. All part of healthy debate.

[bobdiamond1] 30/10/2021 19:37

Sorry chaps, I didn't mean to cause a disagreement.

[exlogiclad] 30/10/2021 18:44

ASz....are you for real, I see you joined a few months back, have posted only only on ITV and are probably some loser's alternate ego, hello anybody else in there. Yes, there are idiots who use many handles, saddo's but there we are.

BobD cited the Madoff affair as a referral to matthewr's post on markets being heavily regulated. They are badly regulated by people who are paid for by the people they are supposed to regulate.

Market regulation or lack of it, has everything to do with an ongoing discussion about ITV and the amount of ordinary investors and others who think rightly or wrongly that something is amiss. It doesn't matter that you claim not to have read a paper, listened to a radio, watched tv news and have no interest in any of it....all proves you are either a troll or you were born yesterday.

I doubt anyone is losing sleep over anything, so I don't see your 'logic'.

[angersharkz] 30/10/2021 15:47

exlogiclad - nope afraid not. It was before my time and I’m not overly concerned with historic Ponzi schemes ran over in the US or see how that has any relevance to my investment in ITV?

I think anyone that is losing sleep over manipulation and corruption in the stock market yet chooses to invest their money into it…..doesnR17;t seem very logical to me?

[exlogiclad] 30/10/2021 15:34

onebd2...hello stan.lol.

[exlogiclad] 30/10/2021 15:32

BobD.....Let's just say you pays your money and you takes your choice.

AngerShark...You are not familiar with the Bernie Madoff case, what planet are you on! it was the biggest stockmarket fraud in history.

[matthewr1] 30/10/2021 15:29

Let’s keep this grown up.
When a hedge fund trades any Uk share , they get booked out after the close 90% of the time. Why? Because if they have been selling for example they don’t want to print the big trade intraday as it would indicate exactly that , that they are finished , and the market could reposition as a result. Why are they allowed to do this vs normal reporting limits? Due to the prime broker relationship.
Every hedge fund has at least 2 PBs. The role of a PB is to handle all things for the hedge fund , from reporting , settlements , lending or trading etc . It’s an incredibly lucrative relationship for a broker. It exists particularly it the UK because it avoids the hedge fund paying stamp (50bp on purchases). Let’s say ABC hedge fund wanted to buy 1m ITV ASAP yesterday.They give the order to a broker , who starts buying in the mkt. Let’s say it takes 50 trades through the morning in the mkt , but is done by midday at an average of 105p. All that will have printed are the 50 seller prints so far. After the mkt has closed the PB needs to book a trade to ABC , so books 1m she sold at 105p. This prints.Now that may look dodgy based on its size and price vs the close , but is actually normal market practice by a broker , a PB or a hedge fund. Most large UK trades that print after the close are exactly this. Is it fair? Not really , but then since the inception of hedge funds it’s never been a level playing field as they can buy and sell (short) vs institutions who can only sell what they own (or buy)……..but it’s not manipulation.

[angersharkz] 30/10/2021 15:25

Bobdiamond1 - from what I have seen on the thread I haven’t read anyone that hasn’t acknowledged that manipulation exists? I think we all know it exists.

I am not familiar with the case you have mentioned that happened over in the US but how does that correlate to manipulation happening here with ITV?

I would also politely ask how do you know that these huge investment banks are rigging the markets on a daily basis?

I’m certainly not a part of any elite club but I would question if you think that the markets are so corrupt why would you willingly put your money into it?

[onedb2] 30/10/2021 15:18

bobi dont think anyone saying the markets are not full of crooked activitythe issue is that manipulation has been propelled to cause number one on the list of reasons for itvs share price decline, without actual evidencethere are many more likely reasons, thats all
