And likely to get better.
And the predators are now circling.
Relatively new to Aviva , but starting to build an interest and have around 8k shares so far. Is the price likely to take the usual fall ex divi at the end of this week or will the buy back hold it up? From looking at Aviva, it looks a bit too good to be true for the next 2-3 years. Is there something I am missing as I don't understand why the price isn't heading up rapidly. I'm looking at early retirement soon and have a sizeable holding in Lloyds, a small holding Lgen and now Aviva with a view to providing regular divi income. It feels like I should be going much bigger in Aviva ......
well you shouldn't be going big in LLOY if you want a regular dividend income. Can I suggest you visit the lemonfool and their HYP board to understand how to build a portfolio of shares that pay a regular dividend income.
Even 1.5 to 2mil share buy backs a day dont move this growth-less pile of steaming sxxt above 4.20 even prior to ex dividend, it really is terminal, ftse has put on 8 pc in 12 months, in the same time US has shot the lights out and even the French Bourse has put on 20 pc, brexit an epic fail and aviva pointless dividend rubbish like most of ftse 100 dog index of the world. Will hit 3.80 within a month of going ex dividend, lose 10 pc capital for a 3 pc dividend, why bother? Buy US growth companies, every time.
First post on LSE by our resident clown.
He seems to our lucky charm, the SP has increased massively since then.
Over 50% increase in the last 12 months, if you include the Divi

You can keep trying to put lipstick on this pig but it’s still a pig, my advice, as I said when these were 15pc higher, dump and put into L&G, maybe M&G and Phoenix too if you are income seekers. Aviva is terminal, poorly managed, capital destructive and pathetic dividend, now concentrating on U.K. and ireland, why? All the growth is in Asia,. U.K. a brexit covid self harming basket case heading for a 1970’s style IMF bailout. Avoid all this dividend cxxp and buy S&P growth, this jam tomorrow on a collapsed index like ftse (lost 15pc of its value in 5 years, pitiful) You reap what you sow and the people who voted for brexit now getting shafted, trashed currency and univestable index, pity they were allowed to drag the rest of us down with them, no sensible countries have referendums, terminal
Hi Adeg1, too late I'm afraid on Lloyds. I have been in long term with a large holding and planned for 3-4p divis which was fine pre- covid. Still expecting to get back to the same in the next 1-2 yrs. Most of my investments and pensions are in diverse funds, but also want to support with a divi return from a few reliable shares.
It might be the same 'posche' that creeps around the RMG board. Something very creepy about someone who oozes distaste about something - a share in this case - but still hangs around muttering snide comments.
Bought quite a big quantity for me yesterday to not only catch this divi but the next one as well. There is talk of a 22p final dividend so worth the wait.
Meant to add that many brokers advise adding with decent price targets. You only have to look at the chart to see the city likes the recent progress.
Superbarnet.
I think 22p is the divi for the whole year.
Possibly a special early next year though
That was my point as they are talking about returning funds to shareholders. They might increase the final dividend to this end.
I'd be "going bigger" (!) in LGEN rather than Lloyds. LGEN is a Lemon favourite, not so Lloyds. Aviva has been a frequent visitor to the naughty step...let's hope AB has given it a clip round the earhole and it starts to behave itself.
However, Aviva is consolidating, LGEN and Schroders are looking to expand into Asia...let's hope they have the skills to do so.
Disclosure, I hold all aforementioned shares....fortunately Lloyds having been bought at 40p per share avg. Lloyds' should be well financed going forward ( solvency) but their move into becoming landlords ( 50,000 houses) is strange and I'd fear too much interference from the government...we've seen this interference recently with the PRA ( Sam Woods).
This is a really useful site for dividends, share consolidation info, yields , dates.
Aviva ..Next divi is 7.35p , xd tomorrow ( so, you've missed it) paid on 7th Oct. It's the interim dividend but with all that money washing round and share buybacks, I think a dividend increase for the final dividend next year must be a pretty much certainty... he says! ( fingers crossed).

porsche.....which US growth companies do you view as worth investing in?
my2penneth ….Porsche is a troll lives on a council estate in Birmingham...likes nothing better then to wind people up...he trolls on many companies on here nothing better to do as he is unemployed and couldn't hold a job down in Macdonalds so wouldn't worry about what he says man is an idiot
Well, I hope Porsche is right about the £3.80 again. I'll be back for another 50K at anything sub £4. I love sideways markets.
Don't be buying the US bubble. (IMO of course)
He is also treading a very fine fine line offering financial advice in most of his posts.... Had him filtered for a while.
Almost got my top-up price of 410 this morning. Fingers crossed.

Got my top up price of 410.00 had to wait patiently but quite happy.
It's going to take a breather, but there is 450 in her this year I reckon. Cevian is only going to get louder.

They are managing to buy a considerable number of shares each day without driving the SP up.
Of course we don't want them to waste our money so the lower they buy the better. However when the purchased shares are cancelled we should see a rise. Therefore not in their interest to do so while their purchasing. Could be a good while until we see an improvement. My thinking though was to top up as early as poss. I set myself a goal of 410p which I achieved today. Who knows how long before it shows a worthwhile profit, I can wait.
