I forecast 32.35p final divi in Aug.

Lobo, are you a seasoned investor? So that you know you only need to hold the shares for 1 day to get the dividend. You would buy the shares the day before the ex date and sell on the ex date. However the share price typically discounts the amount of the dividend on the ex date so you would not make money this way. If you want to be an income investor you should be a long-term investor. It is better to buy the share on price weakness and then hold for the long-term rather than worrying about how long the shaes would need to be held to receive the dividend. I bought the shares on recent weakness and am already making 8.5% profit which is more than the dividend yield.

Long story short, if your purchase timing is wrong you could get the divi quick but end up losing money overall

All my NG. safe in an ISA - no capital gains tax to pay

I'm not a holder of NG, but want to get some in my ISA.

Can anyone tell me when the dividend is paid and how long would the shares need to be held prior to this?

National Grid appeal against new energy regulations approved

"Analysts expect energy networks' compensations will be revised up as a result of this appeal, particularly as the CMA has recently ruled a cost of capital of 3.2% for four water utilities which also appealed against the water regulator's decision."

What was in 2016 I wonder.

Safe to hold between 2011 and 2016 but since mid 2016 a choppy share price.

[mike24] 23/3/2021 13:12

ng a safe share to hold,
why the markets could tank,
the US stimulant payments of which
latest figs show of those share price $56.8bl has been pumped
into the stock market,bonds etf,s
just creating a false ceiling?
yet some say the purchasing power of the $ has dropped 40% in last 2yrs
don't market highs go hand in hand with a booming economy?
25/3 M/W housing market already on fire, inflation will follow, but
does'nt show up in official figs ( hpi aprox 15% over last yr)
uk prop prices outside london hitting new highs (compare last qtr rmv releases)

A bit of a mixed message going on with talk of hydrogen conversation work and exploring selling all, some, bits of the pipelines. Would Centrica or some other large gas company take a majority stake ?
There's some hydrogen trials recently completed via Keele university and phase two planned in the north east.

Mark1000 was correct. The is little possibility of creating a CGT liability holding Ng. shares, unless you have a very large holding. It moves uowards like a sloth.

[prokartace] 19/3/2021 15:41

Mark1000, you never have to worry about CGT in a SIPP

[mark1000] 19/3/2021 11:29

Hiddendepths true you may sleep at night you sure do not have to worry about CGT.

[hiddendepths] 19/3/2021 08:58

I really think this company is misunderstood and fundamentally mispriced.

I would also expect the repositioning towards electricity to generate a designation of the company as a green energy stock at some point, although reducing the gas exposure further may be necessary first.

While we wait, the dividend underpins the share as a core SIPP holding. This has become a real sleep-at-night stock!

There are currently court cases around the world because of both government and company inaction on climate change. 30 Min radio 4 broadcast which is well worth listening too.

NG have a slide deck on their website on the conversion of the UK gas network to hydrogen/ hydrogen mix.
