The dividend :-

"The financial objective of this strategy is to remunerate shareholders' investment through the payment of dividends. SSE believes that its dividends should be sustainable, based on the quality and nature of its assets and operations, the earnings derived from them and the longer-term financial outlook.

In line with this, taking account of the impact of the expected key developments in 2018/19, and reflecting the underlying quality and value of its assets and earnings and the cash flows they deliver, SSE's plan for the dividend for the five years to 2023 is as follows:

· For 2018/19, SSE is intending to recommend a full-year dividend of 97.5 pence per share, an increase of 3% on 2017/18, which is broadly in line with expectations for RPI inflation. This provides clarity in a year of transition and is not subject to the timing of either the SSE Energy Services transaction or the Domestic Gas and Electricity (Tariff Cap Bill).

· For 2019/20, SSE is planning to set the first post-transaction dividend at 80.0 pence per share, which reflects the impact of the changes in the SSE group expected to take effect by then. This provides a sustainable basis for future dividend growth.

· For 2020/21, 2021/22 and 2022/23 SSE is targeting annual increases in the full-year dividend that at least keep pace with RPI inflation. This reflects SSE's confidence in the quality and value of its assets and earnings and cash flows they deliver.

This plan for the dividend for the five years to March 2023, when the current electricity distribution Price Control comes to an end, supersedes SSE's previous reference to a dividend cover range and is a plan which:

· Aims to provide shareholders with certainty in 2018/19, a year of transition for SSE;

· Reflects the changes in the SSE group expected to take effect by the start of the 2019/20 financial year; and

· Sets the dividend on a path for sustainable growth for the three years from 2020.

SSE intends to retain a Scrip dividend scheme but where take-up of the full-year dividend exceeds 20%, SSE now intends to buy back shares so the dilutive effect of the Scrip is limited.

In addition to the dividend plan above, subject to the necessary approvals being secured, the transaction relating to SSE Energy Services announced on 8 November means shareholders in SSE will receive one share in the planned new independent energy supply and services company for every one SSE share they hold at the demerger record date."

Not looking good folks. Adjusted 6% down, unadjusted 38.9%. We will be down a lot today. For longer life turn of the screen. Hope I'm really wrong on this.

Unloaded half my holding today.

Been a great run for a utility, and I wanted to lock in gains before results.

➡️ Bolly with Minerve. Or possibly some meths....

The only thing you are going to open is another argument and the possibility of this thread joining many others on ADVFN - becoming littered with trolls, useless to serious investors.

Please stop for the benefit of everyone.

It gave back the gain at close but not bad two day rise of over2%. Preliminary results should be good going by the last announcement. However Morgan released a negative note on CNA last week siting the Price cap would make life difficult for them . I’m presuming same will apply to SSE .

USA up over 200 points pre market. We should have a nice day .

[minerve] 19/5/2018 14:36

You're welcome. It stems from being used to ignorance from morons; and ADVFN certainly has its fair share! There is no wonder certain parts of The City refer to ADVFN as "clown finance".

Of course nothing to do with the latest moronic activity of crypto-currencies or spread-betting, nothing to do with it whatsoever. LOL

It's really useful how some people SO clearly identify themselves as meriting being Filtered.

[glasgow13] 19/5/2018 10:44

alkies hate to be accused of drinking.

It's actually 'Minerve', not 'Minerva'. It's only 7 letters, it isn't difficult! LOL

Well, not for me anyway. It might be for the intellectually challenged, eh?

Respect also includes appropriately addressing others, does it not?

Since when did you become the thread moderator and whose mandate do you have?

I'll decide on my behalf what does or does not merit an apology. I don't let half-wit morons like you dictate what I do, not here, not in real life. OK?

You know where the filter button is don't you? Or is that too much of a task for you as well?

[calabrian] 19/5/2018 08:16

Results, yes. Div will be announced. Id suggest 65p a share ex date prob July 27 which falls on a Friday. At 1500p that I'll run circa 4.3 percent.:)

[whatsup32] 18/5/2018 19:19

Minerva

There is a huge difference between someone asking if you’ve been drinking and your response

‘Continue With your mediocre life , mix with your moron mates until you die’

The part of until you die is undeserving and should merit an apology. I’ll leave that to you to be the big guy .

[minerve] 18/5/2018 18:55

Thanks Beetle!

I am glad someone at least can read the thread properly and not engage in wishful ignorance. ;)

[calabrian] 18/5/2018 18:48

Is this what's called a 'meltdown'? Preach some more please. Your opinion means soooooooo much to us. Wow you could solve all of the countries problems, scratch that, the worlds! You are truly amazing.

[calabrian] 18/5/2018 18:44

Hooooooooooray!
