"The increases in dividend really look good, shame there's no share price projections?"
But there are also projections for EPS, excess capital distributions, net profit etc from which to draw your own conclusion's as to what the share price may achieve.

STP......"Give it a break hardup! It is the weekend!"
I was replying to on topic questions from other members of the board. This is what the BB is for, on topic discussion. You say you are invested in several other banks? Yet looking at your posting history you do not post anything at all on any other share board, let alone banks! Why is that? Why do you only post on the Lloyds BB? You are a liar, we all know you are not invested here or any other bank.
MP0818.....Once the share price falls back into line with the algorithm defined parameters of the SMA share price it will start trading again. The only other restriction on trading is set by the FCA. The maximum amount of shares that can be purchased daily during a buyback is 25% of the average daily volume of the shares in any one day of either:
" The average daily volume figure must be based on the average daily volume traded in the month preceding the month of public disclosure of that programme and fixed on that basis for the authorised period of the programme."
or
"Where the programme makes no reference to that volume, the average daily volume figure must be based on the average daily volume traded in the 20 trading days preceding the date of purchase."

MP0818......One of the parameters of the algorithm that controls the buyback is if the share price goes more than a certain percentage above the rolling moving average share price over a defined number of days the algorithm will step back from trading.
Seany,
The dividend forecasts are in the analysts pre results forecasts which are usually released by Lloyds 2 - 3 weeks before results are released. You will find the analysts dividend forecasts going forward on page 2..........."Ordinary dividend per share (p)".
