Type Ex-div date Payment date Amount
Interim * 05/12/2019 17/01/2020 6.18p
LTI -as you say 12p down today, is news now factored in, could well be the case.
LTH's have the interim div to collect on the 18th.
For those looking for a buy in price the final div is a long way away at the end of Aug.
I'd be looking to trade it for short term gains.
Thx for that Volcano - so its Thursday for the trading statement.

LLOY's looking good value again

A 12p drop today was enough for me. Would trading figures possibly depress the price even further. That is the gamble.
HI Volcano - yes you mentioned you were Trading EMG when we chatted on the other bb, in early Dec. I put it on my watchlist, will take another look it and HGM.
With HFD I'll look for a buy in price, after the next trading figures are out.

Hi Tav - Yes agree the high woes seem to be continuing. The market is very nervous around retail atm. I sold out my TSCO holding yesterday, got £ 2.57, and a decent profit. It wasn't that I was unhappy with TSCO - I just felt that the whole sector was going to get dragged through the mud over Xmas sales / winter revenues. I'll hope to re buy TSCO in the Spring. I seem to have dodged a bullet, on TPT following its Q1 trading report on Weds. ( though there is time for the market to drag it down so not relaxing yet lol ).
I've just glance read the SDRY Xmas figures, which look a real car crash. I had my finger over the buy button on CARD yesterday, at 1.10 but held off, thankfully. Bought into BBOX instead.
Hopefully with HFD is it just a case of market nerves, as we approach a trading report. It will be helpful if the BOD is able to reaffirm, that it will hold the final div at 8p for this year. With a confirmation for the YR21 total div at 12p.

yes but if the business is straggling HFD will stop paying dividend ,we will know next week anyway.
Gerry, my views - it needs some cold weather to boost sales of winter products and so far it has been too mild. Throw in high street woes and trading will not be as great as I was hoping. Nevertheless , I think the business focussing on services is the right way forward and I think it is a buy at current levels for divi plus prospects.
Same to you mate, i hope we make more money this year .Same here watching for now. I have been in and out few times before and i have trading EMG nearly every day . but i am very keen to buy back HGM , my original buy was 30p and i am looking at it every day.
Hi Volcano - Happy new year.
HFD reported its Q3 trading figures on the 10th Jan, last year so I'm guessing the figures are due any day - though I'm not sure exactly when.
The market continues to jump on any weak forward forecasts by Co's - particularly for anything retail related atm. Maybe HFD will report better than expected Xmas sales.
I'm on the sidelines here but have watched HFD, with interest over recent months following a buy recommendation from a poster on a different bb, last year. though since the time that HFD was recommended the SP has dropped from £2.40 to present levels. The present Mcap of £293M for this one seems very low to me.
At least holders here pick up the interim div.of 6.18p on the 18th Jan.
Going forward though HFD have announced that this years final div will be reduced to 8p. Then moving forward to YR21 the BOD plans to reduce total annual div to 12p ( as reported in the RNS 7th Nov. ). At the present share price of say circa £1.50 that's still 8%. Which may on reflection look generous if the SP remains at these levels.
Still plenty of free cash flow here. Be interesting to see how online sales growth is progressing. 85% of online sales are still picked up in store, which can be seen as an opportunity for cross sales. Though it also does mean HFD needs to retain its store outlet structure.
What are others views on HFD ?

i think next week is HFD's trading update
Thank you AKA...much appreciated.
The price remains depressed...some chance the turnaround strategy could get it back up to £2.40 medium term. Plus dividends makes this better than a bank!
All the best..
Never be afraid to ask questions - there's always someone who will help you out.
The stock goes ex-div on 5th Dec with a record date of the 6th. Taking into consideration the usual T+2 settlement on UK shares, you would need to be looking no later than the 3rd/4th for broker purchase.
Best of luck and a successful December.
As a newbie can I ask for help?
I am looking to buy in now. If I do this before December, will I get the interim dividend?
Thanks in advance
