£4.42 is a couple of pence above what it was when there was a rumour , Guess something cooking , most likely building a stake pre-dividend , and then let interest rate cuts lift the share price in second half .

Need another £300m buyback , I hope they have enough left in the cash pot , after all the spending on smaller stuff .

Expecting a rise to £4.65 ish when interest rates start to decline. Doesn't matter if it starts in Q2 or Q3, just so long as it does. I'd like to see £5 in early 2026, and be content with the 2024 and 2025 dividends. GL.

Wasn't expecting this strength so far out from the next ex-div date..

Feel some good news is on the way.

Only a 5% improvement in dividend. Disappointing for existing shareholders. SP £2.50 plus 5% £2.62p . Lots of big numbers, plus dilution.. so not sure what the SP should be based on dividend yield.

Excellent news and the sp looks much better already.

Guess they bought a bit too early as prices got a bit cheaper at points over the last month , but looks like the dividend is great at these levels.. and the price is near £9 today.. I look forward to my first dividend.

I'm thinking the same. Might have to wait 12mths plus for interest rates to come down 1%, but the trend will be set and the dividend/share increases slightly each year , so with additional buybacks each year, the SP has a chance of going back to 460p plus within 12 mths.. Might also be a £100m top-up buy back starting soon.. will know more on Wed . GL.

Yes , I still have some Enq , average 20p

I've recently got into these. Div is juicy and scope of returning to £10/share seems realistic. Directors also just bought a stack load.. but risky. Other Israeli stocks seemed to be doing very well before the attack..

Good points and look forward to the quarterly dividend.

Looks like Directors are buying , as I did for the longer term and quarterly dividends

Looks like it wants to run up to 415p/ 425p over the next week imv .

The Daily Mail is now saying the "attack from the North" was a false alarm.

If the City sources are correct, then it’s very early days and there’s nothing solid yet .

Dropped to 404p and now 408p

Disappointed with a 23p drop from 427p earlier today, but could be intentional to collect as many as possible to fill a larger order.

Amanda should increase the dividend pot by 10% next year.. so perhaps a 38p div.. That will improve the SP to about £4.80. Together with the next 3yrs dividends gets us to about £6.00 . No need to sell the company.. Think that would satisfy shareholders..

Always happy to consider a crazy offer.

Still no dividend received on shares held via Barclays, but have received the ones held in HL

Anyone received their Aviva div on Barclays ?

That’s quite specific details . Guess the price would have to be above £6, given the annual dividends . 20x annual div gives us about £7. If it was serious , the price would have gone up a lot more today imv.
