As posted already - communications skills seriously lacking.
"I never mentioned buy backs,never assume .." You referred to every other prediction-so why not buy backs.? ? none taking place logical deduction.
"blaming EVERYONE else as being the...". Only narcissist being yourself. SINGULAR
You REALLY should get rid of the rear view mirror. It is obviously affecting health, judgement etc. cynicism and narcissism to be the least of your problems if you persist looking backwards.
No doubt you have amended your SP prediction to read from €7.04 through to €11.03. Such a prediction never seen
Cuckoo,
you appear to be seriously lacking in communication skills, among other things.
As already posted your 12.12 post makes no reference to share buy backs so the logical deduction from that is there are to be no buy backs. you confirmed PBT, Div and a magnaminous SP range. If you expected a share buy back you would have posted so. No mind readers on this board.
For a man who spends his life looking through the rear mirror you would be the expert on narcissism. In fact the logical deduction is you are the narcissist. My referencing the rear view mirror is not being jocular - just giving very good advise. Follow the adviseof Inspector Clouseau.
"So what did the market find out today " - Goodbody's comments are simply COMMENTS - they are not factual and will or will NOT be confirmed until next week. Are you telling us the market responds to gossip ? Both banks have been stating for the last 12/15 months about their intention to return surplus capital which probably explains the 20% drop in the BIRG SP in last 11 months !!!

Doomster,
proving once again to be a centurion. very conveniently forgetting the fall from grace of RR from 240 to 32p in 2020 when it was the dog of the year. not current times.
See the return of T4S has done nothing for your beloved Boo. march 23 this was to be 60p and still hanging about 36p with the usual mupps continuing to sing its praises. When will they learn ? talk abut crying wolf. embarrasing to witness.
When will you post a ridiculing of BIRG . This is necessary to restore it's lost glory you and the market having the perfect negative correlation relationship.
"who told you that you complete narcissist". YOU DID per your post of 21 Feb at 12.12. As memory does not seem to be the best let me remind you ;
PBT - 2.95 Bn - subsequently amended to 2.295 Bn.
48c div.
SP between 8.1 and 9.6. are you amending this to between 7.04 and 11.03.
So ,Cooking, you don't expect a share buy back announcement in coming results.
As regards your SP prediction I take it you are aware that in the last 52 weeks BIRG has traded in the range of 7.04 - 11.03 so maybe you might wish to amend the SP prediction.
Goodbody came out with some interesting comments this morning.
BIRG ; They comment that they expect a total shareholder distribution of 1.3 Bn comprising 300 mill cash div and 1 Bn in share buy back. This would be an extraordinary scale of buy back representing well over 10% of the current share issue would be surprised if SP didn't hit 10 in very near future if such a buy back announced.
They also comment that BIRG trades at 0.9TNAV and at a discount to AIB. Undervalued.
AIB ;They expect at least 1.4Bn returned to shareholders in form of 300 mill cash and balance in share buy backs
They comment that SP completely divorced from fundamentals.
.
Cuckoo,
as you should be aware Autism is associated with children/kids and for someone to introduce the subject on a board such as this is indicates a very sick individual. Many moons ago you introduced your mother and the subject of class. where did she find you ????
When it comes to the subject of sarcasm the more educated of us on this board will associate sarcasm with the famous Oscar Wilde quote - " Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but the highest form of intelligence "
TO REPEAT - you seriously should devote ALL your time looking out the front window and throw out the rear view mirror - for your health's sake - never mind the cynicism implictions.
Donkey,
very surprised that you sought my opinion on ryanair and not your esteemed brother,the Doomster, he being the biggest plonker on LSE and you being the biggest bore. I would not pay too much attention to his historical predictions ,which I am sure you are familiar with from Ryanair board , as these were introduced purely for levity purposes.
When taking his advise just bear in mind that the Doomster and the Market enjoy a perfect 100% negative correlation relationship which means that whatever he recommends you have simply to adopt the polar opposite position.
GG,
I suppose the div ( and share buy back) will depend on the PBT figure - 3Bn and you could be looking at distribution of 900million - 84c per share to be split between div and buy back assuming 35%pay out ratio. .Unlikely that pay out will be above 35% but there has been talk of returning capital to shareholders.
"People must be waiting to buy at 9.25 on monday " Why wait to buy on monday when you could have bought at 8.40 today and possibly less tomorrow. You are the the stupid one - perhaps you are confusing your sales with your buys. Mind you this doesn't tie in with your criticism of observe selling at 7.50 and SP thereafter hitting 10 plus!
Anyone with the slightest modicum of sense, even a cuckoo, would adopt Clouseau's encouraging comments before you are suffocated in cynicism from that rear view mirror.
Is the board going to have the benefit of your wisdom re the BIRG predictions ? Don't be shy !
So the Cuckoo's investment strategy is to buy at 9.25 when you can readily buy today at 8.40. You dont have to prove you have the IQ of a cuckoo - already well proved to the board.
When is the board going to have the pleasure of a cuckoo's predictions for the BIRG results.? Don't disappoint us.
I am sure Lug's would approve of your policing of the board. However, I would imagine Inspector Clouseau would encourage you to spend more time looking through the front window as it presents a much bigger picture to the very restricted view from the rear view mirror which only leads to cynicism.
Barclays PBT = 6.557 Bn - down 7%. Attributable profits = 4.274Bn -down 15%.
BIRG Predictions ;
PBT = 2.15 Bn. Distributions = 600 mill with dividend = 425 mill ( 40c per share) and buy backs of 175mill.
SP to hit 9.25 following results.
Barclays announce annual results tomorrow morning and Lloyds announce theirs on 22 feb.
Nat West announced profits last week of 6.2 Billion (above expectations) and a div of 11.6p .Their pay out ration was above 50% of PBT figure.
Words of wisdom from "Simply Wall Street".
Rewards ; Trading at 65% below our estimate of Fair Value.
Earnings grew by over 455 in past year.
Risk analysis ; Earnings forecast to fall by 0.03% pa in coming years. to me that is static earnings.
Unstable dividend paying track record. ???
Donkey; how about response to my 2 queries ;
- should 1 be removed from board for boring the asses of posters.
- your 3 predictions for BIRG as at 28 February.
Traded at €20.41 today. best ask at close = €21.
Now who predicted the Bankruptcy of the Wd No 1 Airline, even if it was 3 years ago ??
Heading for the clouds, in more ways than one. Brokers TP of €25 on the way.
Is there any possibility ,Doomster, you might revert to the BIRG Board and write them off as an Investment.
Ever since you praised them back around march 2023 they have been on a downward spiral. Some things never change.
Sloopyy,
afraid you have lost me.
looks like 3 posts removed today including 1 of my 2 posts today with a different subject heading to "Wd No 1 Airline per Mkt Capitalisation".
I think perhaps you had better look to your good mate , TAUP Doomster, for the removals.
Doomster,
There is no doubt but the cream always rises to the top.
Ryanair today crashes through the magical €20 barrier and trades at €20.12 leaving it's previous all time high in it;s wake and leaviNg YET AGAIN ANOTHER OF YOUR IDIOTIC PREDICTIONS IN TATTERS. I see your recommended a/line model IAG down at 1.71 this morning, moving further away from their all time high of 5.22 , which they MIGHT REACH by 2034 with result no RETURNS FOR YOU for at least 15 years, and that is the OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK.
Even the JUDICIARY have total faith in Uncle Mikey,with Ryanair winning EU court case against Dutch State aid of 3.4 Billion to KLM to keep them afloat.
Definitely worth your while to invest in a bottle of the best champers out there to celebrate this milestone, together with the FACT that it is the largest Airline in the WORLD by Market Capitalisation. You will have the added benefit of taking your mind off your wonder share ,the Doomed Boohoo. You said this would shoot through 60p last march - why is it still at 34p ?
What is your prediction for the FTSE 2024 DOG of the year ?
