After the 15/19 consolidation you'd hope it would be at least 4.05p!
So last year it was 3.2p ( so maybe 3.7p this year )
Ex dividend was 15 October
Dividend payment was 27th November so if you go by them metrics and dates you will not be far off people
Interim results are out 6th October, they will announce in that the interim dividend which could well be 4p.Also when the shares will go ex dividend which will be around 25th October, payment is usually mid December
so is the next one in october?
A dividend that is paid quarterly or at half year in addition to the main dividend at the end of the financial year. It's usually, but not always, smaller than the main dividend paid after the company's financial year has ended.
im new to this what is an interim dividend
October not far away, interim dividend time! I’d be content with 4p per share - any views?
Going upmarket then Doug at Lidls lol. Says it all really
I’ll give it a go
Maybe try for crocodile soup and Labrador duck eggs.
My local store has totally run out of alligator soup and dodo eggs, it’s shocking!
I have had no problem in getting fruit and veg - in fact no problems at all with my orders.

Don’t worry about the fruit and veg, just eat chips, there’s plenty in the frozen section….:-)
Went to do a big shop yesterday but so many empty shelves in fruit and veg aisles. Ended up doing a small shop and got the rest at Lidl next door. I do think the clubcard prices is a very good scheme though.
Rick, in order to lessen the frustration and the plague god, forbid if you kept your receipts then the next time you visited the TESCO store and you brought them with your card maybe request a refund as a valid club cardmember and explained the circumstances. It's happened to me a few times in the past after purchasing fuel but they were more than happy to add the points back onto the card.
IMO DYOR GL
I think you already have the answer but just to confirm when William hill was subject to their takeover there were a couple of employees on the wmh board part way through their share save scheme and they were allowed to buy the shares at the agreed offer price for the value of the fu d’s they had so far saved.
From memory the explanation went along the lines of the shares are issued and earmarked to employee share save scheme at the start of the scheme even though they are not available to savers to purchase until the required 3 or 5 year saving period has been completed. So if the company is subject to a takeover during the scheme period the share save shares (issued and held by the company on behalf of employee savers) need to be purchased by the bidder alongside all the other shares. The company therefore allow savers to buy the proportion of shares they have saved for so far and the remainder are cancelled prior to the takeover.

I just press the Tesco app on my phone it pops up I scan the QR code get my discount pay and walk out no problem
Dont forget to check your coupons at the bottom of the app for extra points or freebies
Rick - just curious, I have not carried cash for over a year - and use my CC - carried next to my club card, all the time. But I'm an optimist, or hadn't noticed much increase... just a discount. ;-)
I need a little rant. This is why I wouldn't invest in Tesco for my portfolio.
Tesco have increasingly switched to deals only with clubcard. Yet they arrogantly assume people walk around with a clubcard 24/7. What about the clubcard app you might say; well the app "demands" a high level security password with special characters, almost impossible to remember and it loves to log-out (that's if you have your phone glued to you). This is at the same time as paying contactless, soon to be lifted to £100. So it's utter madness to need such strong passwords.
I pop in tesco for some smokes, which usually turns into buying an arm full of snacks, yet I'm increasingly walking out with "nothing". What's worse for Tesco is I'm constantly noticing the "clubcard or fine" deals are the least moving off the shelves. Why? Because people don't like to be fined for not having the damn card with them.
I wanted a pasty as a late night snack tonight, £1 with clubcard, £1.50 without. 50% fine for not having the points card. What did I do? Storm out the shop frustrated annoyed and angry with the bod.
If they're banking on people paying elevated (fine) price, they might get away with short-term. But I'm pretty sure they're really upset customers. They will know what Tesco are doing to them.
So, I'll be steering clear of this stock like the plague. The co-op is open to 11pm too were I live, maybe it's time
to switch completely. Good luck though.
Rick.
Relax a bit.Nothing to suggest Tesco would be open to a takeover.Secondly,how long did it take to get the special dividend from conception.
If it’s a private equity takeover then common ‘ listed shares will no longer exist.
So in this case I would expect whatever amount you have saved will be used to purchase shares at option price.
Eg.
If savings is £21,900 then 10,000 shares would be available to you at this price and then sold at takeover offer share price let’s say £5.00 per share.
The profit of £29,100 would then be declared to HMRC.
Gunner, I had a look on the equiniti website the other day to see if they had anything related to takeovers and it says the below:-
You can choose to use your savings and any interest to buy shares under option. If you've been in the scheme for less than 3 years you may have to pay Income Tax on any gain between the option price and the market price at the time. Your new company may allow you to "roll over" your existing option to a new scheme. If Tesco is taken over you will receive further information about all your choices and the timescales.
I am a Tesco employee like many others on here and was wondering about our SAYE schemes if Tesco does get a takeover bid etc
I am 20 mths in to a 5yr scheme and pay monthly contributions of £400 so paid in £8k so far, the option price was £2.19 and been (Promised) 11,000 shares in 2025, in total i will have paid £24k and hoping the Tesco share price is £8.50 in 2025,
(well maybe a tad optimistic)
Now my question is what happens if Tesco gets taken over and a bid of say £4 per share is accepted for example next week.
1. What happens to my 11,000 shares i was promised in 2025?
2. What happens to my funds i have already paid?
3. What happens to my my outstanding balance of £16k i still have to pay?
I have been told from a colleague that the money you have outstanding is forfeited and they just give you the shares you were entitled to at the bid price, i.e. 11,000 shares at £4, (but this sound too good to be true).
Sentiment looking good to break the 260s and likely to go through if as quick as its gone through the 250 barrier.
Nothing moving it other than realisation of undervalued stock... Don't see any reason with good news coming from next update that it can't test the 300 barrier.
All without real news about takeover talk.. If so this will test new barriers.
I only entered this for its last dividend and safety for a while but its turned out an exciting share.
I have a good holding here and also in Reach which has done fantastically well.
