Dividend reinvestment versus share buyback ?21 May 2026 09:13
Has anyone any idea how the volume of shares bought as part of the dividend reinvestment compare to the volume regularly purchased, and subsequently cancelled, as part of the buy back scheme ?
If a robust buyback scheme does not have much of an impact on share price I can't see what difference the dividend reinvestment would make .....
A bid of £4 / share sounds great on paper but for me, and perhaps some others, is where would I reinvest the money to secure an income as good as this ?
For what it is worth I used to do that, however, any dividends I receive in my trading account are now automatically reinvested as, I understand, they are exempt from income tax
