Ian Gordon, a banking analyst at 
Investec, said he expects to see a “dividend and buyback bonanza” ­announced alongside the bank’s 
half-year results that could mean 
investors receive a total of £3.5bn this year.

Mr Gordon forecasts a 9p dividend for the first half, a yield of 7.5pc 
“which would make RBS the biggest dividend payer in the UK banking 
sector”.

If the above happens thats way higher than another report I read. 9p interim would be awesome!!!

cfc1, well if true would be a stonking start. Wish they would do a buy back though as that would reduce the gov stake.

Polar, yet another attempt at 232?Third in a few weeks

Interim news expected to be 2.5 ordinary and 5p special. That will be a very impressive interim divi if correct.

polar fox,

Boris Boost?

More like Boris Fart.

For example, Lewis Goodall at SkyNews has tweeted as follows in the past few minutes:

Now the dust is settling we can see that this is a cabinet which is for:

-No Deal
-Early general election
-Pact with the Brexit Party

Thus the fundamentals of the Conservative political position have transformed overnight.

We had the first HIGNFY Cabinet chosen yesterday, followed by the first HIGNFY Commons Statement and Q & A today. Thank heavens Parliament will be in recess until Sept.3, is all I can say!

More seriously, assessing the past 24 hours, it seems to me that a GE within the next 3/4 months has become even more likely. Anyone else care to give a view/reaction?

[tradejunkie2] 24/7/2019 15:31

lol like kicking a can down the road

[smurfy2001] 24/7/2019 10:31

@cfc1 - continuing to re-invest the dividend and hopefully see a recovery as the buybacks take hold, minimum 3 year hold for me

A bit of background on Ian Stuart, courtesy of The Herald:

After a 38-year career in banking Mr Stuart appears well qualified to lead RBS, which decided to focus on the UK after receiving a £45 billion taxpayer bailout amid the financial crisis.

Mr Stuart spent 22 years at NatWest, which RBS bought in 2000. He moved to Barclays in 2007 before becoming head of HSBC’s commercial banking operations in the UK and Europe in 2014.

Mr Stuart was appointed chief executive of HSBC’s ring-fenced UK bank in 2017.

Just looked. RBS not 5p yet. Lovely shorting stock again by August end

[smurfy2001] 23/7/2019 19:36

Interesting.

Ian Stuart, who runs HSBC's ringfenced bank in the UK, is among the preferred external candidates to replace Ross McEwan at RBS,.....

If this means that Rose is not the front runner, it would be encouraging, IMO.

[cfc1] 21/7/2019 18:17

Smurfs - well we should get divi news at least!

[smurfy2001] 21/7/2019 15:29

RBS results on 2nd August.

Kitty cats,

Benn seems pretty sure that the size of the majority sends a strong message to Boris and that the bill will become law. He thinks that Parliament has ensured that proroguing is effectively ruled out in the run-up to Halloween.

Edit:

TM says she won't sack the four abstainers. No surprise there then!

[polar fox] 18/7/2019 13:48

MPs have just voted through the amendment to block parliament suspension. 315 against 274, a much bigger margin than expected. One minister has already quit. Another vote in progress. More wrangling to come still on this in the days ahead.

Edit:

BBC saying several cabinet ministers abstained and 17 Tory MPs voted aye.

Abstainers were Hammond, Gauke, Stewart and Clark.
