If ex divi tomorrow...buyback machine could be in over drive...

I will be stunned (pleasantly mind) if the buyback gets us much past 60p. It's not like 90% of the share are locked up in safe hands. That said. Another few years of buybacks and we might get to book value.

LLOYDS might feel themselves they are 'undervalued' hence the buyback programme?

[carpingtris] 10/4/2024 18:39

Glad LLOYD'S is picking up all these shares in the 'buyback'.

Plenty of the £2B left for purchases and I'd be stunned if that over the duration doesn't send the share price higher than we've seen recently.

Plus get the Dividend in the meantime :)

After 32 trading days, buyback complete to date:
Total shares to date........................657,269,232
Aggregate cost to date... ..................£325,247,009.73
Average price paid to date..................49.4846
Percentage of £2 billion buyback completed..16.26%

So opening price tomorrow should be around 51.28p after 1.84p dividend stripped out. Interesting to see if the share price recovers any of that over the coming days?

Not a term I see used much these days but across my portfolio that was a fare old 'tree shake'. I bet there are some confused and disappointed young punters

I'm out currently as well. Banked a nice 20% profit and do not wish to be greedy. GLA all, I'm sure i'll be back again!

[twdlw] 10/4/2024 14:38

I'm out. Held since 2017. Slight profit excluding dividends.
Good luck to you all.

...This despite the manipulation of the data, they just can't hide the 'real' cost of living in the US.

US inflation rises to 3.5%
Newsflash: Inflation across the US rose at a faster pace last month, as the cost of living squeeze continued to grip American households.

The US consumer price index rose by 3.5% per year in March, new data shows, up from 3.2% in February. That’s higher than the 3.4% which economists expected.

Energy prices rose by 2.1% ove the last year – the first 12-month increase in that index since the period ending February 2023. Food prices were 2.2% higher than a year ago.

On a monthly basis, prices rose by 0.4%, again higher than expected.

The index for shelter rose in March, as did the index for gasoline; they made up over half of the monthly increase in inflation.

The energy index rose 1.1 percent over the month. The food index rose 0.1 percent in March. The food at home index was unchanged, while the food away from home index rose 0.3 percent over the month.

This hotter-than-expected inflation report may lower the chances of cuts to US interest rates as soon as this summer.

Just slightly!

[alphorn] 10/4/2024 13:52

Going in the wrong direction!

[cobourg1] 10/4/2024 13:51

USA inflation figures 0.1% above forecasts which should not cause too much consternation.


You're joking. Why do you think Lloyds went down at 1:30? A lot more to come IMO.

[kkclimber56] 10/4/2024 13:50

I got that wrong

[aceuk] 10/4/2024 13:44

Really?

US futures taken a rather cold shower!

Oh well US says FTSE 8000 is not allowed so back down we go.
