I would believe Barc would need to seriously reduce the amount of shares in issue if the SP is to go above £3.

Also worth noting interest rate rises may well benefit retail side of the bank, but not so much investment banking, swings in roundabouts for Barc.

Like you optimism, well you never know.

My guess

4p final
2.5p special
plus buybacks

What does everyone think of what the lloyds final results will be?

Another 2 billion on q4.... Total 8 billion for 2021

Any guesstimate on a special dividend?

Amazon partners with Barclays to allow customers to make payments in instalments in the UK.
Starting 17th December Instalments by Barclays will offer flexible payment method helping customers to finance purchases of more than £100. Finance options would be on terms between 3 - 48 months at 10.9% APR.

Sounds like a good partnership, opens up the possibility of offering the same in the U.S.

Barclays gets Australian banking licence in expansion push

UK-based Barclays Plc said on Monday it had received approval from Australia's prudential regulator to operate as a foreign bank in the country, as the lender continues its expansion into high-growth markets.

Barclays back to their old ways....bonuses before profits and shareholders.

"basic rate payers would be up to £750 better off each year"

Really...What with the 1.5% rise in NI, a 2% rise would not make much of a difference.

Give with one hand and then take away with the other.

Tories need to be voted out.
We need tax cuts now not 2 years down the line

1p Special Divi would be nice.

"Apart from the min final the rest dependant on money not being used for targeted acquisitions."

What would be a good aquisisation for Lloyds?

LTI - Do you feel Lloyds will pay a final special divi? What would be your guestimate?

Hopefully with the tide turning in interest rates, this should bode well for dividend payouts, margins increase and little more bottom line profit for the banks to distribute out. I just hope the new CEO can drive Barclays successfully.

I would like to know peoples thoughts on our new CEO Venkat?

Will he drive the lack lustred SP to new highs?

Barclays is taking on buy now/pay later fintechs such as Klarna that have expanded rapidly in the U.K. by offering short-term, interest-free installment loans to consumers. And Amazon is indirectly tied to the effort.

Barclays is reportedly working on a partnership with Amazon to offer interest-bearing installment loans for the e-commerce giant’s U.K. customers. Barclays has provided interest-free installment loans for iPhones with Apple U.K. since 2019.

Barclays has appointed Antony Stephen, former head of Amazon Payments Europe, as CEO of Barclays Partner Finance, which provides U.K. consumers with point-of-sale financing and installment loans for higher-value purchases such as home improvements and furniture.

Vesa have increased their stake yet again, it is now 19%

I may be wrong in my analysis here, It does looks like VESA is mopping up shares which are available and then accumulating till they have 1% before releasing a statement. Similar to how buybacks would work. Would anyone else agree? Can not see not other reason why VESA are buying in small increments.

VESA now holding 18.11%, up from 17.03%

Beyond nuts, no justification in the SP droping by 8%, this is just manipulation regardless

Hi SUFCESSEX

All good thank you..

I reckon a special divi will only be announced when final results for the year are released in April next year and paid during May. By then the extra 1.25% tax will be needed to be paid.

LLoyds have made it very clear they want to build and expand into wealth management. There is no chance SW would be offloaded, it is part of their wealth management strategy.
