Does anybody know if there is a website somewhere that lists the FTSE 100 companies by the dividend rate of return? What I am looking for is to see which companies are the best and worst payers of dividends relative to their share market price.
Many thanks in advance!
Good to see that the Centrica dividend has returned!
When will it be paid?
I hope that this company does not show today where BP's share price will be after results are announced! Centrica has increased half-yearly profits five-fold (!) and restored a dividend, since before the pandemic. The consequence? The share price has fallen despite wonderful profits and the return of a dividend!!
Halma 1983,
Apart from being a sweeping generalisation that is instantly proven wrong (I hate playing taxes, thereby proving your assertion false), but it is also grossly naive to consider that many do not mind paying taxes.
According to Jacob Rees Mogg on Channel Four's 'Andrew Neil Show', legislation for the windfall tax will be put before the House of Commons tomorrow, Monday, July 11th.
Rees Mogg has been reported as saying at Cabinet that he opposes it as he sees it as "socialist". However, due to Cabinet collective responsibility, he is bound to support its passage through Parliament. The Chancellor of the Exchequer who proposed this, Rishi Sunak, is no longer around in Cabinet, so it is not entirely possible that it will be quietly dropped, as the PM and others oppose it. However, with Sunak the favourite to become PM, would it merely be a temporary respite from the inevitable?
I suppose that Government Bonds become more attractive as interest rates rise, making equity investment less attractive. Also, companies needing to borrow to grow or have lots of variable rate loans will find their cost of capital rising and so affecting profits.
BP would appear not to be looking for new, more expensive, loans as it is generating lots of cash currently and has been paying down debts anyway.
Skwizz,
Abramovich did NOT say that it should go to the Ukraine alone. He said that it should go to those affected adversely by the war/special operation, which could mean, of course, Russia. He was careful not to pick sides.
Chandley,
If BP paid £250m voluntarily, the lunatic Left would question it and say that a lot more could have been paid if made compulsory! It would be frankly naive to believe otherwise.
Anyway, this Government under Johnson will not be doing such a thing.
Tamano,
No, the risk is that those who want a windfall tax, but are not paying it, would say that £250m is too little and would set up a precedent that would come and bite BP in the backside later, at the next set of bumper figures.
I am totally relaxed, as it is more than clear that THIS Government will not be imposing any windfall taxes at all.
Front page headline:
"Hopes for a windfall tax blocked by No. 10 team".
The House of Commons has said no and now Number 10.
No chance of a windfall tax anytime soon!
Will the BP share price bounce up now (with Shell, Centrica et al)?

MPs in the Commons vote 310 to 248 to REJECT the idea of a windfall tax!
PTL!
