I see that Dividendmax now has an updated timetable for the PHNX interim dividend:

Declaration date: 18th Sept

Ex-div date: 28th Sept

Payment date: 23rd October (Monday)

So pushed back into Oct this year like MNG, AV. LGEN etc. Probably to do with implementation of the IFRS17 reporting requirements.

No. LOL

Chill out peeps FFS. Been in these since 2012 in the low 400's and through the RI's and bought more on the covid dip. Never lost me a moments sleep over good old PHNX. The whole market (with a few exceptions) is tanking at the moment and as the tide goes out all boats will drop. The Ukraine war will not go on for ever and neither will this downturn. Hold on tight, enjoy the divi and tek a drink. LOL

No the 25/08/23 date is when they go ex-dividend. The payment date is 05/10/23 simples!

Interesting commentary by Ian Cowie on growth prospects for the Indian economy in which he mentions Hindustan Lever (HUVR). This wholly owned subsidiary of ULVR comprises over 30% of the whole of the parent’s stock market capitalisation. he states "HUVR’s last dividend was up 19% and this seems to confirm that India is one of the best-positioned economies in the world to deliver growing wealth for its growing population over the next two decades. If so, ULVR’s holding in the biggest consumer company in India truly is a jewel in its crown."

I think the declaration comes with the results and these are delayed by the transition to the new accounting standards IFRS17. Same for AV. LGEN etc. all of whom along with PHNX have usually come in by now. Divi payments will probably be in Oct now instead of the usual Sept payments.

Why is anyone surprised by the Italian bank windfall tax? If you are daft enough to vote in a bunch of right wing populist t**ts what else do you expect to happen other than economic madness? Next they may follow Erdogan and lower interest rates to curb inflation LOL

Do one misery-guts. I hope I never get stuck next to you down the pub. Filtered LOL

She who must be obeyed just paid off the remaining balance and closed her NEXT account. The shape of things to come?

£3K? Won't even cover SS's bar bill for a weekend. LOL

Like BHS!

NVG “ My 8 in front not looking so negative now ? ”…………LOL

Is this an all time low or just very near that?

If any of this low level political noise made a scrap of difference to the prospects for a revival in the UKOG share price I could understand it, but as stands it will make no difference whatsoever, nada, rien, null SFA.....LOL

I did not come across any insults in the LBD video? Just Farage's own words and deeds really. Give em enough rope.................................LOL

People keep banging on about shorts? What shorts? There have been no declared positions in AZN since 2021 and that was very low level. Oh and don't start on about "naked short selling" and other market manipulation conspiracy theories. Could it just be a general move out of Pharma and into AI and other stocks coupled with the strong pound hitting exports and overseas income? Oh and as for "Don't kill cash" I would not sign anything associated with the swivel-eyed right wing loonies at GB News. They employ the national embarrassments that are Nadine Dorries and JRM. Hope they go bust soon. LOL

Bought a shedload along with the CEO when it dropped below £9. More than happy with progress since then as they seem to have a grip on costs and a competent management team. The whole market is on a downer of late and, as they say, when the tide goes out all boats will drop".

There are no declared (over 0.5%) short positions currently open for Astra Zeneca and this stock has not been subject to short selling since a low level flurry of activity back in the middle of 2021. More likely the recent falls are just due to overall negative market sentiment and a feeling that this Co has had it too good for too long.

Forget the rhetoric. The main thing is are you as sheltered as you can be in these uncertain times? A couple of years ago the all knowing press was warning everyone off Cash ISA's. Albeit with some trepidation I loaded up (both cash and S&S) using the yearly allowance (£40K combined with other half) to move all of my non ISA holdings into the tax wrapper. While the S&S are a reasonable hedge against inflation even at current levels the cash has bounced up to 4% and is better than leaving it at higher rates but subject to income tax now Hunt has completely clobbered both savings and dividend income.

Even more worrying that comment referred to the results back in 2019 so this has been a long time coming!
