What's up here?

Debt/leverage reducing, growth in business and jam tomorrow. I'll take that all day long!

The government didn't instruct financials to cease paying dividends. As far as I'm aware, they were advised to exercise prudence. Despite informing shareholders that the 'declared dividend' was well covered and that business was robust despite covid etc etc, they unfairly reneged on honouring the dividend which had already been declared. This of course was done whilst many other financials as you put it ,did the right thing and paid their dividends. Aviva's poor investor relations took yet another hit just when you thought they may have learnt their lesson following the preference share fiasco. There's definitely one or two heads that need bashing together at Board level I would suggest in order to try and build up some trust again. Investors are likely to have been put off by those
shenanigans so consequently holding back the SP IMO.

This appears to be poised for a significant rally. It would not be unreasonable to expect an SP in excess of £5 per share by year end imo.

Share buybacks and cancellation will further enhance earnings per share. Also,in due course this would be ripe for a takeover for over £6 per share imo.

Tinkering with the dividend has certainly damaged sentiment for income investors!

Yeah, it's so bloody irritating lol.

Looks like it's building up a head of steam again!

SP should breach 400p today surely!

Looks like it's heading into positive territory after a mediocre start ,similar to yesterday. I'll take that!

...and we should comfortably be saying hello to 450p by summer all being well.

Not much news lately. It was said they were working at "pace" but nobody mentioned a 'snail's pace'! LOL

Something must be afoot. The % rise today is circa 16 times that of L&G.

Unfortunately, communication to shareholders is not one of their strong points. I don't expect a running commentary but it would be nice to be kept in the loop!

Added at £3.493 awaiting re-rating

The dividends are certainly shrinking and they've somehow contrived to rob l/t holders of the 2019 final dividend. Shameful !

What the Dickens is going on?

Just now that the endgame is nigh re cv19,and all is looking positive,what do we get? That's right. A bunch of nondescript Bankers with nothing else better to do than damage sentiment unnecessarily in the insurance sector in a pathetic attempt to justify their highly paid sinecures. They really are a bunch of bankers ( or something that sounds rather similar imo)!

And I doubt very much if the CEO would invest £1 million of her cash for a 5% gain in 12 months time.

Nonsense! I've never met a serious investor who would get out of bed for a paltry 5% profit, especially over 12 months. Call me greedy if you like, but I wouldn't be happy with anything less than a 50% profit in 12 months time regardless of dividends. The NAV alone for this is 474p.
