Exactly H1 and as an aside, I intend to leave my sipp to the Gkids...

noramping.....if the share price stays around 50p for 2 years then more shares will be bought and cancelled by the buyback resulting in a larger reduction in total share count. So this should raise EPS which should in theory lead to higher dividends going forward.

Jord, if the share price goes up your investment goes up, the income may reduce as a percentage but the income amount would be the same wouldn’t it.

No logic in your argument

I'd like to see the share price hover around the 50p mark for the next 2 years, this should significantly reduce the share count and boost dividend for 'we' income investors.

The MP called an elderly party volunteer at 03:15 saying he was locked in a flat and needed £5,000 as a matter of "life and death", the Times reports.

He has had the Conservative whip withdrawn while the party investigates.

Sounds like another 'Woofter blackmail trap'

smurfy.....forecasting lower NIM possibly taking into account most of the mortgage lenders have reduced their mortgage rates at the tail end of 2023 and in January 2024?

[smurfy2001] 18/4/2024 10:07

How it is they a forecasting lower NIM for Q1, doesn't make sense!

Here comes Labour and IMF bailout again?

Agreed. My view is we are re-running the 1970s all over again. Only question is who will be our Thatcher in 2029? For 2029 is when the next GE will be, just before 2030 (and all that Agenda 21/agenda 30 Climate guff hits hard)

Shorters will come in heavy on retrace to 51s

And all we get day after day is a bunch of toffs arguing over sending half a dozen to Rwanda that will probably happen, cost us a fortune and make zero difference. Even Arja can see that just will not work!!! Sport.

That forecast for Q1 next week is not great. Declining assets under management, rising costs, lower net interest margin, higher impairments etc. The modest improvements to tangible value per share and eps presumably because of the buyback. I wonder what happened to the boost because the pension scheme has swung to a surplus.

In light of the current pot hole crisis why are EV's road tax exempt when they weigh twice as much as regular vehicles and cause twice as much wear & tear to the road network?

[gotnorolex] 17/4/2024 18:50

Have you ever done anything positive?

[chachacha] 17/4/2024 18:19

Sunak/Hunt borrowed far more unfunded than what Truss/Kwarteng were proposing. The Market went apoplectic on the latter, didnt even bat an eyelid on the former.

Which tells you it was a stitch up and TPTB wanted Sunak/Hunt(Globalists following the message) than a vaguely Conservative style govt - which is what tax cutting Truss was proposing.

We need to slash spending - Welfare especially, and NHS which is out of control.
We also need to boost Defence spending to 5% of GDP because War is coming.

Those who do not share our values need to be deported, especially the foreign criminals, the bogus refugees, and the poncers of foreign ethnic origins.
We also need to get our own poncers into employ, whether that be apprenticeships or conscription.

National Debt is out of control and unsustainable. Too man y people are taking without having ever put anything into the pot.

"UK bank sector results preview: Lloyds Bank, Barclays, NatWest and HSBC"

With high street lenders about to publish quarterly results, City writer Graeme Evans runs through what to expect from them and which ones the analysts like best.

Lloyds kicks off the first-quarter reporting season next Wednesday, followed by Barclays on Thursday 25 April and NatWest on Friday 26 April.

On Lloyds, a disappointing fourth-quarter update and uncertainty over the potential for motor finance remediation costs has failed to prevent the bank from raising its valuation from 53p a share to 58p ahead of next week’s results.

It said the prospect of a £2 billion share buyback and the lender’s 175 basis points capital generation target for 2024 points to confidence that overall risks are manageable.
