“Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits”
You have to be invested to gain access to company disbursements DT, so that article is probably lost on you, especially where LBG is concerned.🙂

I recently bought a few Halfords (hfd) and have added to a current holding in International Airlines (iag). Bwtfdik.
Just saying.
"New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth
Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.4% per year for the foreseeable future.
This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns.
Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company:
Major Risk
• Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.4% per year for the foreseeable future.
Minor Risk
• Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past.

"Don't see anything in the Markets worth jumping on."
Nigel Farage's head. 👊
Could be interesting this year re reinvesting dividends & ISA allowance...UK shares still undervalued imo but obviously some are not as cheap as they were ...probably initially will wait for various scenarios to unfold particularly interest rate movement/domestic & international politics...personally i never use the DRIP service with any div....as posted many times on here dip buying if possible is my preferred method...gla.
Yes we also probably have the highest housing costs and taxes too , it's not really how much you earn , but much you have to pay out just to stand still , # better off of the dole uk
Maybe, however business confidence continues to fall across the South West, Midlands and vast swathes of Northern England.
Don't see anything in the Markets worth jumping on.
Lloyds Bank’s latest Business Barometer has found that business confidence remains high, with March’s figures unchanged month-on-month at 42%. In a promising sign of a return to economic growth, this month’s survey data reflects the continued confidence firms have demonstrated so far in 2024 and means the overall business confidence level remains well above the survey’s long-term average of 28%.
The Barometer – which measures businesses’ overall confidence by assessing their trading prospects and optimism for the economy – also found that results for these metrics remained at historically strong levels. The net balance for firms’ trading prospects was unchanged at 49%, the second-highest level since 2017. A further 59% of firms (up from 57% last month) signalled stronger activity for the year ahead, while 10% predicted lower output (up from 8%).

London business confidence soared in March as the UK’s ongoing economic recovery lifted spirits in the capital, according to a closely watched survey.
Business confidence in London rose 14 points to 52 per cent in March, according to Lloyds’ Business Barometer. This was driven by a 23 point increase in firms’ optimism in the economy as a whole.
“The capital’s confidence is booming,” Paul Evans, regional director for London at Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking, said.

“British businesses trimmed their plans for staffing and wage increases this month, according to a survey published on Wednesday that suggested April's big increase in the minimum wage is weighing on employers.
It's possible the impending minimum wage rises in April are beginning to come into sharper focus for businesses – especially smaller firms.
Britain's minimum wage will rise by nearly 10% next month, and supermarkets and other retailers that pay staff only slightly more have raised pay ahead of the increase.
The BoE, which last week kept interest rates on hold, has said wage growth remains high despite signs of a slowdown.
The introduction of the minimum wage 25 years ago is the single most successful economic policy in a generation.
The share of workers on low pay - defined as an hourly wage less than two thirds of the median - fell from 22% in 1999 to 9% in 2023.
Relative to typical wages, Britain's minimum wage is now one of the HIGHEST among advanced economies - similar to that in France and South Korea.”
You lucky people, you've never had it so good. That's the Tories for you.

of course you did .
in any case what is the relevance to lloyds pref shares.
''you being rude, doubt you'd do that in real life.''
rude? I would tell anyone to their face if they are being a dkhead, that they are a dkhead.
I would tell anyone to their face if they are lying that they are a lying.
I don't let people get away with things.
Incidentally you being rude, doubt you'd do that in real life.
I publicly declared my purchase of virgin money, 2 months later Bingo. Previous to that union jack oil. And a few others . Tuck sake i bought NWG for a £1.32p £1.20p & again at £1.09p
Brix
of course I did you p rat
You paid over a £ for lloy ordinary.
Brix
paying 83p for the preference share would give a yield of nearly 12%.
You obviously have no problem disrupting with complete and utter nonsense, which on each occasion makes you appear even more stupid
Monty python channel 26 now
Not if you paid 83p
Which is better than Brixton is receiving with cash on deposit. Brixton can expect lower returns on cash as interest rates drop. Purchases of these prefs now would give about a 6.5% yearly income forever more
The current yield is about 6.5% for those purchasing now
Serious investors 🤔
Brix
The more of such posts you make the greater the dkhead you appear.
Why don't you leave the stage for serious investors.
