Surely all that dosh makes Lloyds a possible takeover target? Using its own (our) money to do it?
Takeover? -
The problem is, who could be in the frame?
Can't be a current player in the UK, Lloyd too big, competition issues, would need to be a fresh face wanting to grab a huge slice of the UK domestic market, one of the US or Chinese giants would be my guess?
It is a non starter just idle talk on a down day pretty much like the emails to the board asking for the cancelled dividend to be paid another non starter
Smaller banks, digital banks such as Starling, are the way forward...
DYOR
l dont get all this "pay us last years Divi"..... as l understand it That divi was cancelled so the money could be used for covid loans the same applied to all UK banks. We were never going to get that money back... l dont understand how people think that they would get it back... Our best hope of anything is a special and l can assure you it wont be 3p ... maybe 0.5p to 1p if we are very lucky indeed with excellent Q3 and Q4 figures
Hope the accrued dividends are not released in yearly trances of 0.5p. There don't seem to be any firm committments about the release of accrued divis.
It was laughable the emails to the board asking for the cancelled dividend to be paid as if the board were going to listen the dividend has now been rebased and there are better dividend shares available in the short term the share price is going to be dictated by the Dow Jones which is already looking toppy any slight fall in the Dow Jones is magnified onto the ftse100
Only the UK - only - where exceptional results are rewarded with a share price fall. Seems the rest of the world have decided the UK economy is going no where and investors in LLoys seem to have thrown their toys put because they didn't get a totally unrealistic dividend level. UK seems to have gone down hill for over two decades. Just look at any high street. Belfast's Royal Avenue looks like something out of Africa....
Starling Bank has got an appalling service.... My friend closed his account after 6 weeks
All that dosh the next thing you will be hearing is,vote them off as the big fat cats put there noses into our cream,you got to laugh as the wheel keeps turning,yes vote them off then there a whole new set of cats in the trough, enjoy your day,it's the rich that get the pleasure and the poor who get the blame,what a game.
Learningtoinvest,
This as far as I know isn't correct. There was a statement saying this money would be returned. I haven't the full details with me as I am out but there was a statement.
All in all really good figures but the results update hasn't done anything to inspire an influx of long term investors rather than day traders...
I will continue to hold but I will not add further whilst I can gather greater yields elsewhere!
I don't expect LBG to be a take-over target. Too big and too difficult to integrate in a European or global strategy. The best we can hope for is a return to stable high dividends and no new disasters. The commercial bank has been tamed down and is really only doing loans and some (expensive) payments and the Private Bank will never get fixed as long as Lorenzo runs it with Insurance. Ive banked with the private bank for about 20 years and they are very nice but have no products. Retail business and continued cost cutting may lead to a higher share price via dividends over time. I would not expect bank index beating share price however. It's not a revenue or product development hungry culture and they really have focused away from meritocracy via endless "diversity programs" with metrics to be achieved by every manager. There is upside but one has to be very patient. UNLESS there is a change of strategy.....
Really positive article in motley fool - no negatives noted and envisages an increased share price.
So perhaps Lloyds should make a takeover bid for a weaker European bank
There are a good few to choose from
But no deals to be done at any ****tail party
SUF, "Starling Bank has got an appalling service.... My friend closed his account after 6 weeks"
lol, oh please stop my sides are aching..!
DYOR
"Hope the accrued dividends are not released in yearly trances of 0.5p"
Ya can bet your life that's exactly what's going to happen - we've been robbed !!!
Just because the motley fool envisages a higher share price for Lloyds does not necessarily mean it will happen a lot of posters on this board are envisaging a higher price for Lloyds this year minimum 60p this year notably falky livestock chips love and light 64p livestock sufcessex azzuri do you really believe them if you do you might as well believe Santa Claus is real
Fair play this has been funny reading todays chat lol!!
It's being controlled by poster's who a year were shouting - "17p" and "unthinkable lows" "wait until the housing market crashes" "there will be huge loan defaults" "no dividends for years" "pra won't lift the ban" "unemployment will soar" "the dow is going to 10000" etc etc blah blah blah they never once admitted they got it wrong but now they want people to listen ha ha ha!!
Now ALL the banks and ftse have dropped today and they focus on LLOYDS "i won't be surprised if there's a short attack" "then a bear raid" one says today lol
Comedy GOLD!
Bit of info for poster's here -
Over the last month LLOYDS and RBS are down 2pc while BARC is a little over 2pc up.
Over the last 6 months BARC is up 30pc and RBS is up 32pc with LLOYDS leading at 36pc up for the 6 months.
And then ytd
BARC 22pc
RBS 25pc
LLOYDS 30pc
If you have made money here pat yourself on the back as there are a lot of wannabe experts that have made zero and probably lost vis shorting the banks.
The results of all the banks are great and enough to warrant a growth in shareprice but it probably wont be coming immediately amd in LLOYDS case they need to do at least a 1.2 billion pound buy back to make up for not doing it in q1 and h1 results.
Banks shareprice is now in the hands of the General outlook with covid etc as results are out there
SCB you told us, and readers of the lloy BB, to..
"expect the unexpected"...so with this logic In mind are we to expect a reverse split, when Charlie is at the helm..?

Judging on BARC today you would have to guess on a morning rise followed by a sell off tomorrow on LLOYDS
DT I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE ACCURATE?
Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible,maybe next week ,next month,or next year,watch this space,dyor,have a good day, falky must be out enjoying the grass.
SCB my post 15th June, TA, no removed was more accurate and yet you slated it...
The TA is still in play...
DYOR
Tbh trying to claim glory for a minor pullback against someone who has made over 100 percent profit in a year trading LLOYDS alone is comical but hey if that keeps you happy the fairplay to you.
Enjoy your day dyor have a nice evening etc etc.... Nearly forgot unthinkable lows.... Or was it unthinkable highs we got from your perspective?
SCB, It's no over yet..
Also do tell.., have the City Boys got a case of the Jits...
Enjoy the rest of your day...
DYOR
DYOR ! Yep that's why so many of you holding a black donkey , tuk research.
