This will move tomo
The sp of both Barclays and tesco have barely budged so the price is deemed as fair for both sides. I’m happy for a buyback. I’d rather a capital gain for the minute until I retire
Tesco Express are expanding in East Midlands.
Please note our local Co-op is to be replaced by Tesco Express.
However Tesco has also 'shot itself in foot' because the Co-op closed Oct 4th. 2023.
Tesco Express to open sometime early March 2024.
Lots of goodwill / trade also has been lost as contractors NOT being managed properly.
More snouts in the trough buybacks to increase senior management's bonuses and clear the incredibly low bar 'hurdles' for the self-policed remuneration committee. then they will slap each other on the back saying how great they have 'performed' over the year.
At the same time more shares will continually be spewed out in the share plans and freebie options to the BoD and management while they carry on removing humans from the workforce, cutting costs that make things worse for customers and better for Tesco.
The express by mine has now turned off all their beer fridges that I used to grab the 3 for £5.50 (that rapidly went to 3 for £6.00) Morettis from, which I no longer buy because they are in a 'fridge' that blows out hot air pretty much cooking anything inside. Apparently they are soon to be removed and replaced with shelves, because Tesco think it's a good idea NOT to provide cold beers that can be grabbed quickly on the way back from work, you know, in an EXPRESS manner.
Akhmed's newsagents now gets my custom because he has this strange idea that customers would like cold beer that can be consumed immediately after purchase with their Friday night Kebab/curry/insert fast food preference here.
The share price hasn't budged on this news so yet again, FAIL.
Pay out a friggin special dividend, let individual SHAREHOLDERS decide what they want to do with their own money.
All the best.
Yes it shows that I need to follow my own advice. Have a good day. JJ
The exact wording is....
"The majority of this cash will be returned to shareholders in the form of an incremental share buyback."
Seems pretty clear to me, no?
The RNS says " the majority of the cash to be returned to shareholders' which in my opinion allows for some form of dividend. I was not saying anything about you. But I had the impression that only one of the RNS could have been read. All the best. JJ
I did read and digest it, thank you.
MY opinion, differs to YOUR opinion.
How does the simple task of paying a special mean the bod would be distracted from running their business?
Your post is confused and ill thought out.
Read and digest the RNS as IMO this is good news and helps the BOD with focus on the underlying business. JJ
Totally agree, getting sick of this buyback thing.
So why not a straight forward special then?
Because last time out it was a complete and utter shambles with the resulting consolidation they did with it to maintain SP.
Why not special div!
What's Sainsbury got to do with Tesco?Why should poor policy at Sainsbury affect Tesco which is much better run.This Stockmarket is the pits-i am not surprised at companies wanting to move elsewhere.You just can,make any headway.
Fallen away again in a big way today after news from sbry. All over the place at the minute.

"Retail Crime in the UK – and How To Address It
01 February, 2024
Shop theft has reached record highs in the retail sector, with nearly half of retailers claiming that theft has increased dramatically in the past year. According to reports, organised crime syndicates target retailers, shoplifting or stealing high-value goods to resell elsewhere. This harrowing trend puts staff and customers at risk.
In 2023, Tesco announced that they would roll out hundreds of safety screens in Express stores and petrol station kiosks across the UK as a response to increasing incidents of crime against retailers, particularly a concerning increase in assaults against staff. These screens enclose the side of the till where staff are most vulnerable and stand above head height, protecting staff against assault. Designed to prevent the theft of high-value items, such as alcohol, beauty products, cigarettes, and other items often kept behind counters, it’s become a valuable deterrent against crime. ...
Cost-effective solutions like Safetell’s SafeShield UL Security Glazing safeguard staff and counter areas against physical attacks and attempts to vault over the counterwork to snatch high-value items kept behind the counter. This solution is specifically tailored for operations involving the secure transaction of goods or objects, like express retail environments or petrol forecourts. ..."

"Combatting Criminal Activity in Petrol Stations
01 February, 2024
There is an alarming increase in theft and crime in the retail sector. According to the ACS Voice of Local Shops survey, nearly two-thirds of retailers have experienced theft in their stores. More than a third say theft has increased. While all retailers are at risk, petrol forecourts are especially vulnerable.
Operating at late hours, often handling large amounts of cash, and a lack of staffing and security means that these retailers are prime targets for both opportunistic and organised criminals. ...
The best defence against these crimes is to install safety screens. Tesco and other stores have already committed to the installation of safety screens in more than 250 Express locations and petrol forecourts in a bid to improve the safety and well-being of their employees. ...
Safetell facilitates seamless operations without compromising safety with products that include the CashFast and Night Pay Hatch Drawers. ...
Safetell is Safety Pass Alliance (SPA) accredited, which means they are accredited to install products in forecourts across the UK. ..."

Well that was a big bounce !
I think it may be done with it's march for now.. was hoping it would hold 292 as there looked to be a bit of support with it hanging around there for a few days but that looks to have gone.
Hopefully it doesn't drop away for too long.
Hi Eccles, with any stock exchange investment it requires the investor to consider the risks and the rewards. TSCO has increased in value by 20% measured by the movement in the share price in the period I have held, to which one can add the dividends. Hope for further increase in the share price and the div. Later this year it looks likely that interest rates will reduce when dividends could be on the rise coupled with further increases in the share price. Being retired with a safe pension, and plenty of rainy day funds I can accept an element of risk. It is good to have a healthy debate. JJ
Hi jimjam, Completely agree but not once havI ever suggested that anyone should not invest in Tsco. Someone asked for a suggestion to get a decent dividend and I replied. My point in the first place was to disagree with a poster who suggested that Tsco was "good value" when a yield of just 3.6% cannot possibly be good value when even the average bulding society is offering around 4.5%.
Eccles, there are investors who choose to ignore any dividends in the belief that they are looking for capital growth in a short time period. Until recently I have myself always reinvested any dividend income. I hold a small investment in TSCO because I view it as having 'recovery potential' and could very well outperform in the next twelve months. I also hold MNG which pays a high dividend but would on no account consider it appropriate to compare TSCO with MNG. I also hold some AIM stocks that don't pay a dividend and are viewed by me as an outright gamble with money that I can afford to lose. Its not appropriate for me, or you to tell anyone how to invest, and certainly not on this bb. Good luck with your investments. JJ
Some of you may unaware of this quite useful website:- https://www.dividendmax.com
And...
Surely tesco has done well anyway? For last 2 years uptrend 200 to 300, thats 25pc cap gain and 4pc div total return 29%
If you want high div, look at ...70 percent from eros 9pc bonds, ....presently priced at 10p, !!!£! they pay late but have always paid, and cap return probably ok now as couple of big cos now involved. Less safe than Tesco of course.
I chose Tesco because its stable and ok div, its done v well though with this total return. (Its superhard to judge entry point though)
and other single divi shares as aviva lgen vod. The huge question is, is buying a fund with 4.5% RISING divi and targeted for growth a better option long term than single shares.
..
nb Its great when occasionally others mention similar shares the research, and super annoying when dont tell u which ones!!
..
It seems to me the high divi companies mostly have greater total returns.. So hope this isnt true as love lbuy forget and collect divi.
Eccles
soz your comment on education... yes I know the insurers aviva lgen 7 to 8pc, vod 12pc etc,
How do you see the stability of the ones your watching (please say which)
Do you think it is wise to have completely different sectors, tesco is different market from aviva.
.. And if there is safety in as many stocks as possible, is it better or worse than holding some sigle stocks, than a fund... a few growth and income have track record of many year divi increases ad present divs around 4 to 5pc.
is either approach safe enough to convert pension to drawdown, rather than take annuity.
..tesco.. several recent newspaper articles saying doing well and expect more. Divi likely to gently rise over time. Food allways in demand, ulta safe.
aviva ceo recently made inflammatory remarks, many on board so disgusted they said selling, and though some bulletin board sells wont move price, she was lucky not to crash the price. Your aviva also had takeover rumours late last year.
Oh dear, I suppose I had better do some education. How about Aviva currently producing around 7.4%. I have no intention of winding folk up but when someone says that tsco is great value when it obviously isn't I feel that such a statement is most deceptive towards those who are not so expert in investing matters.
