Don't think we see much gain in SP now before ex dividend but hope I'm wrong. I think the 1.6p is already priced in to the SP. My guess SP will be around 47.5p - 48p after going ex dividend. Need to see what interim dividend will be at Half Year results on 26th July to give an idea what full year dividend will be, until then I think SP will be flat (assuming Putin doesn't start WW3, China doe's not invade Taiwan, and no other untoward geopolitical events otherwise) , but again, hope I'm wrong.

Only 2 trading days mind, Tuesday and Wednesday, Monday a holiday.

Changed days for offshore workers. 30 years ago they would be afraid of losing their job and getting blacklisted if they went on strike.

Good to see that gullybullfek, the latest reincarnation of the anti vax lunatics, has been terminated!

Drop dead you twisted moron. Typically showing up on the first day of a holiday weekend spewing your s hite knowing you can't be taken down by admin until Tuesday. Imbecile!

Last years buyback got of to a flying start, after the first 31 trading days 1,309,582,227 shares were bought back compared to 971,474,324 for the first 31 trading days this year. We thought last years buyback would be wrapped up by June/July but as you know things slowed down considerably and last years buyback was not completed until 11th October, so I think you being your optimistic self thinking this year will be completed by mid July this year. More likely end of October/beginning of November.

IMO realistically the final total will be somewhere between 3.75bn and 4bn shares bought back.

"And so your point is?"
I thought my point was crystal clear, there still is some pension deficit to clear, and that is in black and white in the Lloyds Full Year Results Announcement. If you cannot understand that then I suggest it is you who should go and educate yourself you feckwit!

"Assuming the pension deficit is gone, that is £2.2bn that will go onto the bottom line and potentially be available for increased dividends or share buy backs during 2023."
The pension deficit has not gone yet. From the 2022 Full Year Results announcement (page 21. Link given below):

"The Group’s three main defined benefit pension schemes continue to have an actuarial funding deficit, but are in a
significantly stronger financial position than at 31 December 2021, when the deficit was c.£4 billion. During 2022, deficit
contributions of £2.2 billion were paid into these schemes. The Group expects to make a further fixed contribution of
£0.8 billion in the first half of 2023, consistent with 2021 and 2022. The Group has discussed with the Trustee the
likelihood that further variable contributions will not be necessary in 2023 and beyond, dependent upon the outcome of
the triennial valuation as at 31 December 2022. The Group expects to have substantially agreed the triennial valuation
with the Trustee by the end of the third quarter of 2023, along with a revised contribution schedule in respect of any
remaining deficit. Trustee agreement will be conditional upon prior feedback from the Pensions Regulator. The Group
also expects that future contributions will become increasingly contingent in nature, such that they are only paid into the schemes if required. This will be reported on in future periods."

Sounds like you have an inferiority complex there Gazz.

Without wishing to be pedantic, if you bought at 25p and sold at 75p, isn't that a 200% return? Still a very good return though.

Start of new ISA year tomorrow so maybe start to see pick up in SP tomorrow with income seeking investors starting new ISA's. Market closed for holidays on Friday 7th and Monday 10th April.

I don't think I can give an informed response to that.

And monkey see monkey do.

HFEL also looking interesting at current SP yielding around 9% and pays quarterly dividends as well.
