Price Target £3.69, having a laugh...maybe 10 yrs time, if were lucky

Oh dear another drop

Gloucester for your information, anything under £1 gets classed as a penny share. Its not far off now

Is this going to turn into a penny share?

Let hope the market like the results and we see a good rise. Pretty impressive set of results

Barclays will report its figures on Wednesday with what is likely to be its highest profits in decades.

The consensus forecast in the City is for profits of £8.1 billion – up from £3.1 billion in 2020

Disappointed there is no special dividend being paid.

Snippet from article from This is Money

Analysts are predicting a profit of around £4billion for 2021, a dramatic swing from the £351million loss suffered in 2020, although revenues are expected to dip slightly to £10.7billion from £10.8billion.

The dividend, as always, will be a key point of interest when the results are announced, with predictions of a final payment of 5.7p and a 0.5p special dividend on top, taking the total payout for the year to 9.2p per share, equivalent to around £1billion.

Barclays to take on Credit Suisse wealth clients across Africa. The bank has signed a referral agreement with Credit Suisse. The deal could see about $2.5 billion of assets move to the British lender.

Back in

2018 - 7.5p special divi paid
2019 - 12p special divi paid

If we were paid a special divi of 10p along with a final divi of 6p, I would be happy with that.

"They are about to announce a special dividend to get rid of the enormous amounts of cash they have been accumulating"

I have feeling lloyds will want to keep most of their surplus cash for strategic acquisitions, maybe a buy to let business to bolt onto Citra Living or an investment wealth business

Why does Barc always seem to loose far way more than other banking stocks? 1 step up and then 2 steps down. Typical

Barclays to bid for mortgage firm Kensington in deal that would value it at £1bn with digital bank Starling also in the running

Not sure on 80p but then who knows. If Russia goes to war, that could disrupt the markets for sure.

Another week of falls I guess. Back to 1.80?

Lloyds needs to return the majority of surplus cash with a special divi, buybacks done with profits going foward.

Will Shu flogged a dead horse, ridiculous valuation. Do not see this share recovering.

Bank of England know what they doing...hahaha

Seriously with muppets like Andrew Bailey and Mark Carney, incompetent idiots, have not a clue about how economies work

'Maybe a reverse stock split first to half the number in issue'.

That will not make any difference in terms of divi payment, will have a zero net effect, only makes the SP look inflated.

lloyds opened up but then lost it's sparkle, compared to NWG who finished up quite strongly. May see the same tomorrow
