RE: Higher profits than expected and a Dividend..........24 Feb 2021 08:04
I thought the consensus was for a 1p dividend. So presumably the profits were less than expected, otherwise the BoE calculation would have allowed for 1p. So profits weren't 'enough'!
Sensible stuff 'probably'. An uncertain economic few years seem ahead...Coronavirus, gov debt levels, levelling up, climate change & Brexit (etc etc). But when government plans deliver the economic nirvana that lies before us then LLOY will benefit and the dividends will flow like wine.
Still better than BARC (not including their share buy back).
