Asking better qualified investors to estimate / share view on potential dividend in March 2025 which last year was 0.0450 based on BAU up to final results

Hargreaves Lansdown in recent announcement half year to Dec 2022 referred to Net interest earned on cash held in investment accounts increased form 11.3m to 121.6m. IG for half year to 30 Nov 2022 referred to Net interest income on client balances increasing from £0.4 m to £24.2m. With UK Bank of England interest rates increased in Dec from 3% to 4% in February, this should provide further interest income to IG and Hargreaves Lansdown. Would really like a special dividend or hike in current dividend from IG given the extra cash they have from ongoing buy back.

FY 20/21 the interim dividend was .1296 announced on 21st Jan 2021 ( interim results ) and paid on 25th Feb 2021, went ex dividend on 28th Jan 2021. With the acquisition of Tastytrade completed 28th June 2021 and fy21 statement including the following " We anticipate revenue growth of 25 - 30% per annum over the medium term for these businesses overall, with tastytrade anticipated to deliver revenue growth at the higher end of this range. For FY22, we would anticipate tastytrade to be above this range, on an annualised basis, as the business remains early in its growth lifecycle ". The interim dividend should increase to .16 to .17 range. Just need the share price to hit £9.00 to £9.50. Just my opinion.

Historically tour operators and airlines hedge on fuel. Can anyone find a statement from Easy Jet stating their position for summer 2022? Extra capacity if needed can be added easily and the potential higher cost of fuel will inevitably be reflected in higher holiday and air ticket prices. If safe to travel, the demand will be there. Just my opinion.

Historically tour operators and airlines hedge on fuel. Can anyone find a statement from Tui stating their position for summer 2022? If they have flexible agreements in place for summer 2022 with say 70% of fuel agreed at beneficial rates compared to now for shareholders that is good news. Extra capacity if needed can be added easily and the potential higher cost of fuel will inevitably be reflected in higher holiday prices. If safe to travel, the demand will be there.

Financial results RNS is all about the excellent year 20/21 has been. The step up started Q4 19/20 ( Mar / Apr May 2020 ) when Covid kicked off, net revenue more than doubled in Q4 FY19/20: £259.5 million v Q4 FY18/19: £117.9 million). Struggling to find net revenue for Q4 FY20/21 to compare to record Q4 19/20 of £259.5 Million. Given that active customer numbers over FY 20/21 stated by IG is + 30% v FY 19/20, net revenue % increase should have increased be a similar number. Can anyone find?

On 04th Aug Direct Line announced 1/2 year results with following comment: " Despite the significant disruption caused by Covid-19 we have continued the trading momentum we saw at the end of 2019, growing direct own brands by 2% and improving the quality of our earnings with an improved current-year loss ratio. We have also demonstrated financial resilience in the face of Covid-19 disruption, which has enabled us to declare our 2020 interim dividend as well as a catch-up of our cancelled 2019 final dividend "......surely this has to put pressure on Aviva Board to be seen to be a friend of Shareholder and investors?

Cheers Eurofox, just registered with ADVFN and looking at what is included in level 2. As it is subscription based do they change the monthly fee annually?

Eurofox, asking what platform you would recommend for VWAP and charts. Suggestions from others welcome.

Like a few others excited about the increase from when I bought in at £1.39 to £1.60 in a two week period and now really frustrated with the fall off to current level circa £1.15. Look at volume of trades in this share for today 11M!

Think the UK betting shop industry is following belatedly the pattern of UK travel agents. Bear with me, pre 2000 the vast majority of the british public walked into a travel agency to book their holidays abroad. Now Tui travel holidays booked online account for approx 65% of their total bookings. The average high street used to have two or three travel agencies, now most high streets have just one. Direct bookings save Tui money as no longer have so much high street property leases and staff wages. Now to WH, the change in FOBT has reduced the income for each WH shop as betting restricted to £2.00. Estimate each shop earnt 50% annual income from FOBT prior to introduction of £2.00 limit. WH closing shops will generate savings but like Tui travel they need to retain existing customers and attract new. Online is the way forward and WH need to ensure they are one of top three choices for the online betting public. Interesting times ahead. It is the opportunities in the USA that makes me stay invested in WH, bought in at 1.39. GLA.

I left travel industry in 2011 but prior to that and since have increased my holding of Tui shares as a firm believer they are able to offer a holiday of choice to everyone. First Choice for example were the first major travel company to offer all inclusive holidays to mass market UK holiday maker. They have invested in new cruise ships for UK and German holiday markets, these markets are relatively recession proof. In summary I am puzzled why the drop in share price as the product is great. The loss of Thomas Cook Group should provide another growth opportunity. Perhaps the MAX 737 debacle is proving a greater headache than they estimated in their last statement. The BOD and Management Team are experienced, still happy to hold.

Was there any surprises in the results, my humble opinion not? As investors we knew the MAX 737 would be a dent and now we know the actual cost Euro293m for this year and a budget o Euro220m to Euro293m if continues. Boeing or their insurers surely must have to recompense their customer in some way, so hoping some money will come back to Tui.

One update that makes excellent reading is the performance of bookings for summer 2020: The UK is 25% sold, and at this stage, bookings are up 18% with average selling price up 3%13. With traditional holiday booking season Jan / Feb / Mar to come looks like UK is booking their holiday earlier which can only be good news re controlling capacity for Tui.

The last FTSE 100/250 review based on market cap was on approx 4th Sept and ranked EZY in 112.
The debacle of TCG ( announced 23rd Sept ) has seen the EZY share price increase, resulting in current market cap placing EZY in FTSE 100 currently in 86.
The next FTSE 100/250 review is on 4th December. This could lead to FTSE tracker funds buying EZY shares and a potential further increase in SP. GLA.

BWY ranked 106 at last FTSE review in Sept, the next review is due on 4th Dec, could Bellway make it to FTSE 100? This more than likely would lead to an increase in SP as FTSE 100 trackers could then buy BWY shares to reflect their tracker funds.

Quote in email yesterday from Company Secretary Monique Woudberg : There is unfortunately not a date set as yet for the payment to shareholders. I can confirm that once all of the conditions to the scheme have become effective there will be a notification to the market which will be available on our website and will include details of when shareholders can expect to receive their cash proceeds and the expected timings for de-listing.
