Casapinos - I guess many of us wish we could turn the clocks back to 2007, but fact is, things happen - Banking crisis, Covid crisis - we can't live in the past - Lloy is now twice the bank and yet at a very low P/E compared to the 'glory days' - for this reason, IMO Lloy is 'Currently a Bargain Buy'

2023 Results ---- % increase/decrease on 2022

Q1 Underlying £2.22bn(+10%) Pre tax £2.26bn(+40%) post tax £1.64bn(+37%)

Q2 Underlying £4.7bn(+14.6%) Pre tax £4.04bn(+10%) post tax £2.9bn(+3.6%) interim divi 0.92p(+15%)

Q3 Underlying £5.35bn(-3%) Pre tax £5.36bn(-2%) post tax £4.3bn(+7.5%)

Projected -

Q4 Underlying £7.5bn Pre tax £7.0bn Post tax £6.0bn(+8%)

Final divi 1.84p(+15%) (+0.5p special?) + £2bn buyback?

Seany - The ridiculous low P/E tells me Lloy is cheap as chips!!! - Plus the buyback program is seriously reducing shares in circulation - Plus Lloy's progressive dividend increases (aided by the Buybacks) - IMO the SP has only one direction to go - and that's UP UP UP

Mr Meerkat Competition YE closing SP. v YE profit v Aprox Shares in circulation at that time

Panderman/Hardup -

Yes, SP v Net Profit (ie P/E) just does not make any sense at the moment - who decides/fixes these things? Us? The market? The Marketmakers?

Are there 'serious risks' that we're not aware of??? Alleged Cost of living Crisis? Impending recession? Risk of a Labour Gov. (God forbid), For sure Lloy doesn't seem to be too worried as they take full advantage of the low SP via the Buyback policy

The current low SP just doesn't seem to make any sense at the moment!!! - meanwhile, I'm still looking for a 5k share top-up

Panderman - Yes, it's interesting to see what lessons can be learnt from Mr Meekrats YE competition - eg, as a group we are overly optimistic, each winner is usually from the lower 25% of the guesses
