Was just thinking the same, does selling more shares dilute the market and normally cause drops? Or has the news got out early hence the drop today? Seems like strong news however for the future

Never depends when shares were bought

Currently up 0.8% since close in US

They seem to be wanting to really push down debt at the moment, I may be wrong, but I view the buybacks as a way to lower there commitments in the future. By that I mean if they dropoff 5 billion on buybacks, that's going to be 5% of 5 billion div that won't need need to be paid ever again, if I'm right how that works. So with the current interest rates it's prob better to focus on buy backs now at low prices, which will benefit them Futher in the future when and hopefully div's climb, which also helps them with their outgoing payments. I'm not saying this ideal, but it seems a good way to strengthen the core coming out of covid with slot more leeway in the future

Thursday ex div right, I see this getting pulled down, from upward momentum until Wednesday (America will prob pull it down Monday if they don't have a bank holiday), then up Thursday into Fri. Don't know what I'm talking about, just a random guess!

Is there potential for any bonus to stay inline with buy-backs so if buy backs occur and earning per share increases, then they adjust to accommodate as if buy backs didn't occur? No idea if this is what happens, but is it a possibility too? Seems too clapping self on back, but then directors eh.

Exactly what Where said, the mutations are inevitable so are people getting covid even if they have had the vaccine. Its about reducing the effects and most importantly keeping people out of hospital, which the UK has achieved. Creating fear without real reason seems to be the news covid moto.

No idea, but I did notice some other shares took a turn also.

Yea, I would also like to hear what plans they have for the 250milin acquisitions they have ready.

Great, thanks for the info

I've been reading this forum for a while, I note now and then that people are saying Divi won't be increasing, but I also remember hearing that BP will keep Divi % at a certain level. If Divi is around 5% now at 300 and say it gets to 600 ( in a good dream) will BP still be maintaing a rough Divi of 5% at 600? Or will it be roughly whatever pence per share it is at the moment? I also kinda understand that buybacks increase pence per share as it's reducing how many shares it may go back to? Thanks

Im not 100%, as i am a noob but a lot of the ipo lock up expired today. I believe that was the cause of the drop. I am hoping it will hold at this level , in which case i think that isnt too bad
