09:07		hardup1: Post 20422.....I thought the BOD incentive bonuses are based on increasing EPS, not share price So a falling share price inevitably will translate into increased bonuses for BOD as the more shares bought back and cancelled will see and ever increasing EPS. It would be in share holders interests to have the BOD bonuses linked to increasing SP, not EPS.

19:33		freddie01: Lloyds Banking Group buys UK protection advice firm By Cristian Angeloni, 16 Jun 22 In a bid to become a top-three provider by 2025 UK banking giant Lloyds Banking Group has acquired the entire share capital of protection business Cavendish Online for a total consideration of £12m ($15m, €14m). Cavendish provides hybrid solutions to consumers including guided and advised life insurance, critical illness and income protection services. Lloyds said the M&A deal will help support Halifax, Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland’s client needs. It added the firm will continue to provide mortgage-focused protection advice in its branches, as well as Scottish Widows-branded products via IFAs. At completion, Cavendish will continue to operate as a separate company within Lloyds and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Scottish Widows Group. The protection business will also maintain its existing offices in Exeter and Fareham. The acquisition is part of Lloyds’ plans to become a top-three protection provider by 2025. Lack of cover Antonio Lorenzo, chief executive of Scottish Widows and group director, insurance and wealth, at Lloyds Banking Group, said: “We have both the opportunity and the responsibility to improve our customers’ financial resilience. 60% of UK adults have no form of life cover and just 12% have cover if they fall critically ill. “Our acquisition of Cavendish Online will enable us to help more of our customers at the times when we know they value advice.” Rose St Louis, protection director at Lloyds Banking Group, added: “Protection can be a tricky conversation, often triggered by key events in peoples’ lives and many people value discussing their options with someone, to make sure they’ve got the right cover for their specific circumstances. “The acquisition of Cavendish Online will enable us to provide advice and guidance to a broader range of customers, who are unlikely to access protection through an IFA, using the channel that best suits them and complements our existing mortgage focused in-branch service.” The deal is expected to complete in Q4 2022. hTtps://international-adviser.com/lloyds-banking-group-buys-uk-protection-advice-firm/

11:34		marktime1231: No idea what to make of the BoE report today. Banks could fail without failing? I think I preferred it when the BoE Governor said very little. The buyback here seems to be going well, at a steady pace is fine, not spiking up the share price. LLOY have removed over 2 billion shares in issue at a 20% discount to tangible net asset value. There are moments when they could have hoovered some up at an even deeper discount but that is a little harsh given that the share price is affected by all sorts of unexpected macro. Besides, that sort of reactive trading is generally not how broker mandates work. It sounds like others are wishing the share price was already back in the 50's eg more expensive to buy back, so make your minds up what you really want. Another 2 billion to go. Combined with good trading this will hopefully support future dividend progress. For now I am content for the share price to be depressed and for the improving dividend prospect. Just need to be wary though, LLOY have a terrible track record of letting us down over the dividend. Despite some flattering comments by brokers and analysts LLOY shares remains deeply undervalued. I don't understand why but it is not the fault of the buyback programme.

15:00		richie1218: I found some Q&A regarding the last Final dividend that I had not read before which some may find interesting. The final ordinary dividend of £0.0133 per share seems very low, given your excess capital position, and the almost 11% drop in the share price on the day of the announcement seems to reflect dividend disappointment. Why wasn’t it higher, and/or a special dividend paid? We note that at 2p/share, the total FY 2021 dividend represents a yield of over 4%, which compares favourably to the FTSE100 average yield. This was also in line with the market’s consensus expectations, which are available on our website. The Board needs to manage the different preferences of the Group’s investor base and hence part of the capital return in respect of 2021 was in the form of a newly-announced £2 billion share buyback (this is the preferred form of excess capital return for many of our institutional shareholders, particularly given the share price trading below book value), bringing total capital return in respect of 2021 to up to £3.4 billion, equivalent to 4.82p per share. Regarding share price performance on the day of results announcement, it is worth noting that the FTSE 350 banks index also fell by c.7% on the day, reflecting wider geopolitical concerns given the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We think that the underperformance of our share price versus peers reflects increased cost expectations given increased investment as part of our new strategy launch, which should however in turn generate higher revenues and shareholder returns over 2024-26. It is worth noting that the share price increased c.7% on the day following results. Is the Group still paying quarterly dividends? No, the Group has reverted to twice-yearly dividends (this was announced at the HY 21 results) due to a number of reasons - simpler capital planning – having fewer distribution points makes capital planning simpler and maintains average capital levels through the year, - simplicity – most FTSE100 companies pay half yearly dividends, and this is easier for investors as it means less printing/cashing of cheques, - sustainability – reducing the amount of mailing/printing of cheques for what would generally be small values. In practice, this is simply a question of timing and makes no difference to the overall quantum of capital returns that an investor may expect. How does your final dividend of £0.133 per share relate to your progressive dividend policy when it is much lower than the previous dividend? The Group is committed to a progressive and sustainable dividend policy. You can therefore expect to see progression in the dividend per share in 2022 and beyond, in line with this policy, from the starting point of total dividend of 2p per share paid in FY21. The ordinary dividend alone constituted a yield of 4% for 2021, while it would be around 10% including the share buyback, both comparing favourably with other FTSE 100 stocks. A few years ago it was stated the Group would pay approximately 50% of statutory profits in dividends. A total dividend payment of 2p is not anywhere near 50% of statutory profits for 2021. Has the bank changed its dividend policy? The Group has not given a specific payout ratio target but is committed to a progressive and sustainable ordinary dividend policy, whilst maintaining the flexibility to return surplus capital through buybacks or special dividends. Given the total ordinary dividend of 2p per share and the intended ordinary share buyback, equivalent to up to 2.82p per share, the total capital return in respect of 2021 will be up to 4.82p per share, which is equivalent to £3.4 billion or c.10% of current market capitalization. It is worth noting that 4.82p per share equates to 64% of our earnings per share of 7.5p. Two years ago the Group dividend was postponed at the request of the Bank of England because of Covid-19. When will this ‘postponedR17; dividend be paid? The Bank of England requested UK banks not to pay dividends due to Covid-19. Accordingly, on 1 April 2020 the Group announced that it would suspend dividend payments. Furthermore, the Board decided that until the end of 2020, the Group would undertake no quarterly or interim dividend payments, accrual of dividends, or share buybacks. The FY19 final dividend was therefore cancelled and we never made any statements about it being postponed. Once this ban was lifted, the Group was then able to reintroduce dividend payments with a final dividend of 0.57p at the end of 2020. We then reinstated a progressive and sustainable ordinary dividend policy with an interim ordinary dividend of 0.67p per share announced at the 2021 half year results in July 2021. The additional capital retained has in part enabled us to announce the share buyback of £2 billion. Why are you buying back shares when you just hold them in Treasury instead of cancelling them and then issue shares to employees so that it does not reduce the shares in issue? When we buy shares in the market, they are cancelled and not held in treasury; any issuance is an entirely separate transaction and unrelated to the buyback. The effect of a buyback is to reduce the total number of shares in issue. It is expected that shareholders who retain their shares in the company will benefit from the share buyback programme as they will own an increased proportion of the total shares in the company and should therefore see an increase in the dividend per share going forward given the reduced number of shares in issue. Our issued share capital fell in 2019 (from 71,790 to 70,713m shares), the most recent year in which we undertook a share buyback. In the event of future share buybacks, you would generally expect our share count to reduce. Share buybacks can be an effective use of excess capital, particularly when the shares are trading below book value. Assuming a £2 billion buyback and a 50p share price, our share count would reduce by 4,000m shares.

08:34		bartram: Daily Telegraph - Questor Lloyds Buy tip (Wed June 1st.) Even if there is a recession, Lloyds’ shares are a steal Questor share tip: yes, the economic outlook is grim, but Lloyds is priced for a new financial crisis. As with all things in this column’s view, that takes us to valuation. The multiple of sales, earnings, profits and cash flow paid, or the dividend yield accepted, at the point of purchase is the ultimate arbiter of investment returns. The lower the multiple, the greater the potential gains – provided, at least, that the business model remains sound and defensible, management is competent and the balance sheet sufficiently robust to see the firm through any degree of trouble. This takes us, believe it or not, to a bank: Lloyds Banking Group, to be precise. Few tears will be shed by this column’s readers, but it is not much fun being a bank. Regulators, politicians and the public still remember the grief caused and the bill footed because of the global financial crisis. Regulation is tight, customers are happy to switch between accounts and lenders; competition, especially from new fintech upstarts, is fierce. Moreover, the world is swamped with debt, so growing your loan book without taking on risk is not as easy as it sounds, especially at a time when interest rates are still near historic lows. Lloyds Banking Group key facts Market value: £31.9bn Turnover (Dec 2022 estimate): £16.4bn Pre-tax profits (Dec 2022 est): £6.1bn Yield (Dec 2022 est): 5.2pc Most recent year’s divi: 2p Loan-to-deposit ratio (Dec 2021): 94pc Return on equity (Dec 2021): 13.8pc Cash conversion ratio (Dec 2021): 68pc p/e ratio (Dec 2022 est): 7.5 You just have to look at the valuation, which is so lowly, on the basis of earnings, book value and yield, that it feels like a disaster on the scale of 2007-09 is already priced into the stock. If things don’t turn out to be that bad, the shares look cheap. And if things go even vaguely right at any stage, the shares could look like a steal. Income seekers may like the look of the 5.2pc forecast dividend yield, supplemented by share buybacks. Value hunters will latch on to the 57.5p a share of tangible net asset value, to which the shares trade at a 21.5pc discount, as if to already price in a major economic downturn. Those who seek shelter may warm to the sub-100pc loan-to-deposit ratio and the 16.3pc common equity tier 1 ratio, as both suggest that the bank is financially robust and able to get through any cyclical downturn that comes its way. The valuation factors in a lot of potential pain already and it might not take a lot to deliver some positive surprises, given the lowly expectations. This is not the case at a much greater number of companies, where multiples of earnings and book value are higher, yields lower, balance sheets less robust and forecasts for earnings growth more optimistic, so maybe Lloyds has the potential to be a port in a storm, at least for those investors who feel they may need one. Patient contrarians may now like to bank on Lloyds. Questor says: buy Ticker: LLOY

11:00		jrphoenixw2: DT/Questor column this morning: Even if there is a recession, Lloyds’ shares are a steal Questor share tip: yes, the economic outlook is grim, but Lloyds is priced for a new financial crisis Markets continue to fret about the prospect of sticky inflation on one hand and rising interest rates and the risk of a recession on the other. Bond and share prices are wobbling at the same time, not helped in Britain by uncanny echoes of the 1970s, when the end of the Barber boom, oil price shocks, inflation and confiscatory tax policies hammered bonds and stocks alike and made it hard to preserve capital, let alone accumulate it. Whether the increase in capital gains tax and the windfall tax on oil are the end of the Government’s cash grab or just the start remains to be seen, but the public debt is still growing. After a four-decade span when capital has had its wicked way with labour it is also possible – healthy, even, from the point of view of social cohesion – that the tables may be turning, to the detriment of corporate profits and potentially investors’ returns. The question then is how portfolio builders can seek shelter. As with all things in this column’s view, that takes us to valuation. The multiple of sales, earnings, profits and cash flow paid, or the dividend yield accepted, at the point of purchase is the ultimate arbiter of investment returns. The lower the multiple, the greater the potential gains – provided, at least, that the business model remains sound and defensible, management is competent and the balance sheet sufficiently robust to see the firm through any degree of trouble.

12:11		back2basics1: “Lloyds shares drop to 44p. Should I buy now?”: “Lloyds shares currently trade at 44.02p, almost 12p (-21.4%) below their January high. But they have also bounced back 15.5% from their 7 March low. What’s more, trading on a price-to-earnings ratio of 5.9 and an earnings yield of almost 17%, the shares appear to be among the cheapest FTSE 100 stocks. I may be missing something, but it seems to me that Mr Market has marked down this stock into bargain-bin territory. Furthermore, I’m attracted to the bank’s dividend yield of 4.5% a year, which beats the Footsie’s 4% cash yield. In summary, there’s a whole lot to worry about around the world right now. But I see all this pessimism as built into Lloyds shares today. Hence, though I don’t own this stock, I would buy Lloyds shares today for their cash dividends and hoped-for future capital gains!” HTTPS://www.fool.co.uk/2022/05/25/lloyds-shares-drop-to-44p-should-i-buy-now/

13:36		k38: 10 Mar, 2022 10:12HomeBusiness NewsExploding prices, energy and aviation crisis: What will the blowback be from anti-Russia sanctions?Recession threatens Western economies as they isolate Moscow..Unprecedented Western sanctions over the war in Ukraine have had a substantial impact on the Russian economy. .But the attempt to isolate Moscow financially now threatens the very countries that imposed them. .The global economy is already feeling the negative impact as prices for critical commodities such as oil, gas, and grain are soaring. .Sanctions targeting Russia are beginning to have a major economic cost for the US and European economies, and other countries across the globe, economists say..1Soaring energy prices hurting global consumers and households..The biggest and most immediate impact of sanctions is being felt in the petroleum and natural gas sectors, where Russia is one of the top exporters.. Energy prices are now climbing at the fastest rate in 50 years, putting pressure on businesses and household finances. .Oil prices surged to their highest level in more than a decade, surpassing $130 per barrel this week. .Wholesale natural gas costs are already at record levels, with prices in Europe having exceeded $3,900 per 1,000 cubic meters for the first time in history. .Gasoline prices are the most expensive in US history, with the price for a gallon of regular petrol reaching $4.17 as of Tuesday, according to data by the American Automobile Association. .Prices at the pumps in Europe are even higher. .They have nearly doubled since anti-Russia sanctions were introduced to around €2 for a liter ($8.25/gallon). .Energy costs may soon rise to unaffordable levels despite the release of strategic reserves by a number of countries, analysts warn..2Full-blown energy crisis could lead to global recession..A cutoff of Russia's energy industry could mean severe consequences not just for Europe, but also for the US and the rest of the world as well. .Washington announced this week a ban on Russian hydrocarbons, sending crude prices to near-record highs. .Europe also said it plans to slash consumption of Russian natural gas this year as it prepares for a complete break with its single biggest energy supplier.. Russia has indicated it could cut oil and gas exports if economic warfare continues to escalate. .Such a move could trigger an immediate full-blown energy crisis, experts warn.. The economic consequences of the spiraling energy prices are already "very serious," according to the International Monetary Fund. .Analysts say there is no way the United States and Europe could replace Russian oil and gas supplies fully within the next 12 months or absorb the consequences of a further price surge without entering recession. .European economies, which are heavily reliant on Russian energy supplies, are particularly at risk of heading into a downturn, they warn..3Threat of inflation..Over the past two years, governments around the world have printed massive amounts of money to deal with the impact of the economic slowdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. .The resulting inflation, particularly in Western countries like the United States, has been surging to near-record levels.. The last thing the global economy needed during the recovery was higher energy prices. .The disruption of global energy markets and the subsequent surge in oil and gas prices due to the economic pressure on Russia means the price for all consumer goods will continue to soar..4Surging global food prices..Sanctions against Moscow could derail the already reduced exports of food and critical agriculture-related goods from global breadbaskets Ukraine and Russia.. The two countries account for 30% of global wheat exports. .Experts warn that supplies of agricultural fertilizers may also decrease around the world due to sanctions on Russia and Belarus, which together control more than a third of the world's potash production, a key ingredient in fertilizer. .Russia also controls 14% of nitrogen-based plant food production, according to the research firm CFRA. .Ultimately, the impact will be higher food costs around the world, experts say..5Global aviation industry feels impact of Russia sanctions..The flight ban imposed by over 30 countries on Russian airlines and Moscow's mirror response is having a ripple effect on global travel and the airline industry, which is already battered by the coronavirus pandemic. .Manufacturers, lessors, insurers and maintenance providers to Russian carriers like Aeroflot and S7 Airlines are among those outside Russia that are hit directly by sanctions. .Airlines are currently reeling from higher oil prices and longer routes needed to bypass Russian airspace.. Those factors are expected to drive up ticket prices and air freight rates further. Moreover, the European Union has given leasing companies until March 28 to wind up current rental contracts in Russia.. That could be a challenging task for the European companies that have leased hundreds of planes to Russian airlines and now must find a way to fly them out amid the airspace bans and Russian government's plans to nationalize the fleet to maintain domestic capacity. .The huge number of planes needing to be placed elsewhere could depress rental prices globally, analysts say. .Additionally, major Western plane makers, Airbus and Boeing, will be hurt from Russia's isolation. .Not only are they losing a huge market, but Russia provides critical components such as titanium for the production of their aircraft, which will now cost more to make..6Prices for other commodities exploding..Russia is a major exporter of other commodities that are critical for the global economy. .Prices for these have also been soaring, hitting their highest levels in years and hurting global economic growth. .The skyrocketing price of metals has hit car manufacturers hard, as Russian supplies are at risk. .Aluminum and palladium both hit record highs on Monday while, on Tuesday, nickel, which is also needed for stainless steel, passed the $100,000-a-tonne level for the first time ever. .The price of coal surged to unprecedented levels, exceeding $400 per ton this week as some European countries look to ban Russian supplies. .The cost of rare earths, which has surged since the second half of 2021 amid concerns of supply uncertainty and strong demand, is also on the rise..7Russian isolation hurts European businesses..Russia has enjoyed close economic ties with European countries, so any trade and financial sanctions are likely to hurt both sides. .But the loss of the Russian market, with a population of over 144 million people, is a huge blow to European businesses.. During 2021, the volume of trade between Russia and the countries of the European Union increased by 42.7% in annual terms to over €247 billion. .Russia was the fifth largest partner for EU exports of goods (4.1 %) and the third largest partner for EU imports of goods (7.5 %). .The EU has already imposed several rounds of severe sanctions against Moscow, targeting the country's banking and industrial sector, freezing its foreign reserves, and causing a mass exodus of foreign businesses from the country..8Who will suffer most from Western sanctions?.Analysts say that European countries and businesses will bear the price of Western sanctions, adding that if Russia reorients itself toward friendly countries like China, "Europe would suffer the most." .The White House said recently that China's trade with Russia isn't enough to offset the impact of US and European sanctions on Moscow. .However, trade between the two countries has been booming despite the events in Ukraine. .According to Chinese customs data released on Monday, the trade turnover between the two countries increased by nearly 39% in the first two months of this year compared to the same period last year, exceeding $26 billion. .Moscow and Beijing have an ambitious goal of boosting bilateral economic cooperation to $200 billion by 2024.
