This could be a bargain

It’s worth noting that although Lloyds profits are expected to fall, analysts still expect steady dividend growth. This seems reasonable to me — the bank has plenty of surplus capital and the current payout’s covered around three times by earnings. I can see room for growth.

As a result, I think Lloyds could be a good income play at current levels. If broker forecasts are correct, anyone buying Lloyds shares at the current price could see their dividend yield reach 6% in 2023.

The market wants growth

In the meantime, new chief executive Charlie Nunn is focusing on two main areas to generate growth and improve profitability. The first is wealth management — selling asset management services to wealthy individuals. The second is a more dramatic shift. Lloyds aims to become one of the UK’s largest residential landlords, building and renting up to 50,000 homes.

I agree that renting properties could generate higher returns than mortgages, but I also think this strategy carries some risks. If Lloyds’ property arm fails to deliver a good service, it could damage the bank’s wider reputation with consumers.

Lloyds share price: buy, sell, or hold?

I have some concerns about Lloyds’ property ambitions, but I see this as a fairly safe investment overall.

Although profits are expected to dip next year, over time I expect Lloyds to make progress. In the meantime, I’d be happy to sit back and pocket the bank’s generous 5% dividend yield.

On balance, I think Lloyds share price will rise above 50p again at some point. With the shares trading below this level, I’d be happy to buy this stock for my portfolio.

Nigel Farage@Nigel_FarageReliance on wind energy is dangerous to our wellbeing, I have said so for 20 years. The Telegraph reports just 2% of our energy came from wind in the last month. We are led by idiots.

Frankly if she really wanted a job in EUSSR she could get one, being bright and intelligent would help, but if anything like you, I shudder for her whether in UK or EUSSR.Moaners and Whingers are so boring.

Ah, but you are. Your beliefs, vote and attitude ARE trumping the rights of other people to go about their business and earn a living. Voting Brexit has damaged the opportunities of my daughter to get a job in Europe. Brexit has long-term consequences. Being sat on the M25 doing nothing for a few days because of protestors has little and short-term consequence. :)

Arja, why not open your mind? You should listen to Nick Ferrari, a man who understands and speaks the truth. Probably a bit too intellectual for you though.

scruff1, I too believe that the demise of behaviour in public has been carefully 'managed' in order to lower peoples expectations of what the police are there to do. Thus our servants can become our masters, since we began letting them off doing the job they were hired for, 30+ years ago.

grahamite2, I believe that Greenpeace set the model for protests. It's not about expressing an opinion, but about causing costs to others in order to be remembered. As in 'there's no such thing as bad publicity'.

I believe the State indulges some groups because they help pursue the narrative of social change that we are plainly being subjected to, and at the same time provide a bit of a distraction that helps to take attention away from what is being done by the State. But of course it's all for the public good, you must be kept 'safe' at all costs!

Yes, Blacksmith - absent from it!

If there were something I felt particularly strongly about I might join a protest in Hyde Park or somewhere like that where it would cause no inconvenience. But I am not arrogant and self-centered enough to think that my concerns trump the right of other people to go about their business and earn a living.

You will always find yourself on the right side of the protest then grahamite?

The Chinese know how to deal with protestors. Drive tanks over them.
