Greencoat UK Wind Share Price (UKW)

You can't rely on the yield figure from DividendMax. I suspect they base it on their own automated estimate of the next year's dividends, and their robot probably doesn't realise that this year's total dividend is already fixed at 10p.

I usually do my own yield calculation.

That UT trade is the Uncrossing Trade from the closing auction at end of day, so that's buyers and sellers both coming together to match as many shares as possible at an agreed price. UKW only bought 50,000 of the total shares during the auction, at a price of 139.90, because someone else was willing to sell them at that price.

But the market never reports the direction of a trade, it just reports it as 'a trade', and every trade must be both a buy and a sell or it wouldn't happen. The Buy/Sell indicator on here and other sites is just running an algo trying to guess what the origin of the trade was. It does that based on the where the trade price is within the spread - below mid and it marks it as a 'sell', above and it's marked as a 'buy', in the middle it can't 'guess' so it's marked as unknown (late reported trades are also marked a unknown). It's also highly fallible and best ignored most of the time.

This trade at the end of the day.

30-Apr-24 16:35:15 139.90 664,019 Sell 140.20 140.40 928.96k UT.

Can be seen by UKW in the UKW live news in the tab above as a buy back.

So purchased buy UKW and not a sell.

Is this the normal way for it to be shown in trades or just a fault ????

Yes sotonspike, that agrees exactly with my figure. Of course if the share price changes significantly tomorrow, the yield will change as well!

"Chatroom" still hasn't explained how he/she is getting the figure of 6%, though.
