If we get an ex-dividend date in March will this be for a Final dividend for 2020 ? Maybe we will get the Usual 21 $.cents.

I don't know what you guys think but last year cancelling a Dividend payment AFTER the ex-dividend date was very naughty. No different from bouncing a cheque. The BOE was stopping future payments, that should of had nothing to do with a payment where the ex-dividend date had already past.

You make your choice if you want to be in or out ahead of the Final yr resuls on 2nd March. I am staying in.

RIP Nige. Very sad news.

February 2020 we was at 237p.

Will the market manage to find any negatives in that statement. I've had a quick read and it looks good to me.

Hi TomE

Thanks for the update about Nige, I am really sad to hear this News about his ill health.

How much is the next dividend payment ?

I thought I read somewhere a few weeks ago that Lloyds probably would NOT pay a dividend in 2021

I think 165p to 175p before next update in November

Coronavirus new cases might increase again but I can't see a national lockdown happening again. If it does you can blame the chancellor for making all the pubs and restaurants packed so soon after opening. There is no requirement to wear masks in these places and they are packed. In my town a Saturday night out round the bars is almost exactly the same as before lockdown for the younger people, all the pubs are packed with zero social distancing been enforced and no names taken. With eat out to help out scheme all the restaurants are fully booked at a cost of hundreds of millions to the chancellor, ridiculous. My local pub is now busier than before lock down and maybe even busier than last summer. Owner will be making a fortune with her saving on Vat and the a £1000 windfall per employee next January and the help out to eat out which is making the restaurant full and it's too easy to fiddle. If we get a few more cases in our town it will spread like wild fire if these are people that go out drinking as the pubs have been made busier with chancellors schemes.

Quote from Link:
Other stocks in Yarrow's Wise Multi-Asset Income fund like housebuilder Taylor Wimpey, industrial firm XP Power and Palace Capital have resumed payments.

Really ? I don't think so

Persimmon didn't use the Goverments Furlough money, Taylor Wimpey / Barratt and Redrow have said they are going to pay it back. I think this is so they can get back on track of paying a Dividend without been criticised. TW say that they expect to recommence ordinary dividend payments in 2021 (2020 final), this will be ex-dividend in April, last time it was 3.8p. Lets hope they manage to complete and sell lots of houses before the next trading update in November.

From RNS results 29th July.

We expect to emerge from this period of uncertainty in a strong competitive position and expect to recommence ordinary dividend payments in 2021 (2020 final). We will review the special dividend in 2021 for payment in 2022.

The next Trading statement is due in November, does anyone here think that it is going to be anything different from very up beat regarding the period from July to November ? I personally think that the share price will be at least 30% up by then, around 160p to 170p.
House sales are good, zero stamp duty upto £500k, we still have help to buy, very low interest rates and ever increasing Rents are all the reasons why it is better to buy (if you can). Of course there will be some more people unemployed in a few months time but are there still enough people able to buy houses ? I think so.

In my opinion I think TW will pay an interim Dividend in November, ex-dividend in October, last year it was 3.84p. I think the cost of that is approx £126 million (please correct me if I am wrong on cost)

Jimmy Krankie has just announced that Help to Buy in Scotland will be extended to March 2022.
It was due to end in March 2021.
