...Just another case of the market knows something we don't! Maybe later in the day it will come to us.

Well put Dondee thinking on the same lines myself

Or 'creeping month' syndrome, so to speak. If every year this were to happen, i.e.the date is pushed back by a month, In a decade it would have an effect. Just think that if your monthly salary or weekly pay was put back by a week or day respectively, you would be less well off and the employer would gain a little. That is probably not the case here but it would be nice if a reason was given for it.

Exmoor - thanks.

This year xd 21 Sept, pay 3 Nov.

Last year xd 25 Aug, pay 7 Oct.

No idea why, except interim dividend last year was only 0.53p, so another £58m to cover. Maybe the Auditors had some input in this decision?

Thanks for the info re ex date.

[gbh2] 01/8/2017 15:54

Payment date is approx one month later, I don't keep a record of ex divi dates.

[m4rtinu] 01/8/2017 15:45

Any ideas why the ex has been moved on? Ex div date (or is it payment date?) is around a month later this year.

[gbh2] 01/8/2017 11:38

EX DATE IS 21ST SEPT.

Apologies Caps lock on!

[ardent8] 01/8/2017 10:45

Gbh re news. Well put.

[m4rtinu] 01/8/2017 10:27

Looks good to me, including things like:

1. The pension deficit decreased by £103.7 million in H1 2017 to £129.0 million.
This is due to asset outperformance partially offset by a small decrease of 0.05% in the discount rate.

2. Net cash increased to £429.0 million at 2 July 2017 from £116.7 million at 3 July 2016.

3. Adjusted net debt 97.1 at 2 July 2017 compared to 235.1 at 31 Dec 2016.

Main possible risks seem macro, like interest rates and consumer confidence.

Typical media mentality is that news isn't news unless it's Bad!

[manics] 01/8/2017 08:19

A lot of press running with the provision "...debacle" headline (which of course is the story the editor sees the broader readership can understand, relate and react to) though the underlying figures are too strong to allow that to dampen spirits in the market.

[markie7] 01/8/2017 07:42

Confirming the special for next year, and increasing it, is great news. No reason for it to drop, but if it does, I'm in topping up immediately

[rogerbridge] 01/8/2017 07:38

Nice dividend.

[tlobs2] 01/8/2017 07:33

Couldn't have been better results really. Well done.

It'll probably drop 20p today having said that :-)
