If you are buying at around this price its a good return, and with decent guidance given there will be buyers I would imagine.

Underlying profit up 6%

[jordaggy] 20/2/2019 07:31

Pathetic... 55p

Very disappointed with the dividend.

[polar fox] 20/2/2019 07:27

Aside from all the numbers, which are broadly inline, the market probably isn't going to like the dividend being held at 2.14, thereby falling short of the consensus 3.27. The increased buyback should go down well, of course.

PPI provision increased by £200m in Q4 is a sensible move.

Quickly back to Brexit, is how I see it.

Dividend lower than market expectations and as we've seen before the share buy back is is nullified by new shares issued for Directors!

[renewed1] 20/2/2019 07:21

Disastrous dividend!! They will have no trouble buying back shares under 60p after that.

[mitchy] 20/2/2019 07:20

Well I don't know about the market but they've certainly met my expectations. Onwards and upwards.
Good Luck.

Yes Minerve, it's very unsavoury here. Why don't you seek out a country where severed heads fill the bins and go and live there?. I'd give you two days before your head joined them.

[minerve] 19/2/2019 23:55

Thanks K38 for the discussion. Talk tomorrow. :)

She's certainly a troubled girl brainwashed probably. Not very mature for her age, either that or she knows what she's really saying hard to tell. She's not done herself any favours, send her to Spain to live with K38 he can rehabilitate her.

[minerve] 19/2/2019 23:46

K38

I said the other day that her home isn't here. It isn't safe for her and her child. She will be the victim of a witch hunt which could harm innocent people. This country is becoming an unsavoury place to live.

[k38] 19/2/2019 23:40

Minerve, there are times which I agree with you but not on this.
