The divs are the only thing holding this back , akin to HSBA really, I got a really good div off them last time. They need to give a div to lift the lid fully. I've heard that it won't be long, everything is still in motion.

Barclays rallied after it smashed first-half profit estimates as it released £700m in impairments, resumed dividends and announced a £500m share buyback. The bank reported pre-tax profit of £5bn for the six months to June 30, well above the consensus forecast of £4.1bn, and up from £1.3bn.

"Barclays, Lloyds Banking and NatWest all report after their US counterparts provided clues on what to expect having reported earlier this month. In particular, there could be further large releases of impairment provisions as economic recovery has proved stronger than expected, lessening the levels of bad debts. For those with an investment banking operation, there could also be a further boost to earnings given the heightened levels of M&A activity and IPOs. In any event, given that the banks are each strongly capitalised going into the numbers, strong earnings could prompt further dividend increases, particularly with the regulatory shackles having been lifted.

Please do your own research as always.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57816482"The BoE also announced that, given the health of the system, it was removing pandemic-era curbs on dividends from HSBC, Barclays and other top lenders with immediate effect on Tuesday. The report said its stress test showed the sector was well capitalised to cope with a return to dividend payments."

Is it time to buy this now or wait for 430p

I was recently reading a book on the financial system which said Standard Chartered has long had a structural issue in trying to match its sterling liabilities against its foreign-currency assets. This struck me as odd because it suggests the bank, which doesn't take deposits in the UK, is denominating many or all of its accounts across the rest of the world in sterling, since it's the accounts which on the balance sheet are the main source of its liabilities. So is this claim correct and is this a long-term problem for Standard Chartered, exposing it to considerable translation risk depending on exchange rates? Anyone able to shed light on whether this is true and if so is it holding back this particular bank's shares?

bought this share at 13 and have continuously hammered since. Been a right off for me. Banks are lost cases to me

Stan lagging behind in its upward momentum, the share buy back is positive but looking at LLOY a div seems to be the remedy. This really is a buying opportunity for the long traders. Stay long, you will be rewarded.

That would close the gap.

GS ups to 730. At this rate should get there by end of next year.

[velvetide] 29/4/2021 10:14

Trouble waking up this morning, I keep dreaming Stan is up 6%

[brucie5] 29/4/2021 08:09

Interims on Thursday

I wonder if there may be readover from HSBC results this morning.

[velvetide] 20/4/2021 15:34

Probably because of its high dependence on foreign earnings together with the strong technicals on the pounds which also looks like it may break up; generally stan is still trying to break out the congestion zone which probably wont happen until everyone's given up on it.

[dagoberia] 20/4/2021 14:01

Does anyone have a clue why this is dropping more than other uk banks?
