Lloyds Share News (LLOY)

For income investors, Royal Bank of Scotland's inability to pay dividends due to EU state aid rules makes it far from attractive, but for those prepared to take a long-term view and hitch a ride alongside the UK government, then the stock could make an interesting addition. Buy says the Telegraph.Lloyds has attempted to calm those fears over how it will cope when government support schemes end, saying a return to the wholesale markets will take less than 10 basis points for its underlying operating profit. The shares have yet to do much in 2010, closing down on Friday at 52.5p having risen less than 4% since the start of the year, but with a bull case building, there is reason to believe Lloyds' shares have substantial upside, buy says the Sunday Telegraph.SSL International has built a highly successful business on footwear and condoms - an unlikely combination. But the Scholl shoes and Durex condom brands have served SSL and its investors well. It is valued at nine times forward earnings. This is unchallenging and quite sustainable. Add the predicted 15p annual dividends and this is an investment that will weather the downturn and be ready to benefit when the upturn comes, the Mail on Sunday suggests.From its lows in late 2008, Dairy Crest's share price has already risen strongly, heading as high as 418p last October. Since then it has drifted lower and ended last week at 360.5p. This recent weakness means the group is valued at just over eight times forecast earnings with a dividend yield of more than 5%. At these prices it looks undervalued and is a buy says the Mail on Sunday.Please note: Digital Look provides a round-up of news, tips and information that is impacting share prices and the market.
