Other Brokers are saying Buy at 59-61p

What happens at Lloyds depends on the results and the effect the ecconomy has on financial institutions
Personally im looking at a long term growth in Dividend with modest capital growth .. Sorry Guys l cant see past the 50-55p range in the Near term that may even stretch to the medium term if Q3 & Q4 are luke warm

Bumble you are right that is what we do need unfortunately. Our Q2 results seemed to be good solid figures and most people here including myself thought the figures good ... the market however placed Lloyds in the 44p-49p Bracket. Many of us believed the figures were good enough to get us into the 50p-55p range.. Clearly the market thinks otherwise

l always find it interesting when people talk about Value....Under Value .... Over Value....... Clearly the figures show that Lloyds and other financial institutions are undervalued .... In the real world its about perception coupled with supply and demand ..
In the long term under value will prevail with an increase in share price but these things dont happen overnight and as we know in the real world the share price rarely reflects the companies value.... The Best examples are Funds where the Share Price is always lower than NAV (net asset value) in fact its an art form buying when NAV greatly exceeds share price but actually proves nothing its still supply and demand

Brixton Nothing is safe in the stock market especially individual shares. If your not sure about what to do with your money l suggest you get Professional financial advice... If your worried about losing money your in the wrong place

Sell Note From 50p to 45p .... But to be honest we have been 44-46 (hovering 47 occasionally) for a while now.
What are your Thoughts ?

0.67 XD But down Twice that amount. was hoping the market would be a bit more merciful ....but no doubt it will recover slightly over the next few days. if the Dow dosn't do one of its 1000 point drops in a week that seems to be a regular occurance these days .. on the positive side 13 Sept = Pay day

If the Q2 figures were good enough we would already be in the 50-55p Bracket unfortunately they are not and we are in the 44-49p bracket. And will stay there unless we get some news that says different

After looking at Q2 , Nat West & Barclays it seems we are doing ok, I say ok because thats what it is ... if it was excellent we would already be in the 50-55p range now.
With last years final 0.57p and 0.67p Interim that will be 1.24p paid in 2021... l know its not the sort of figures we are looking for but its a start . depending on results we should get a final of around 1.3p next year and if the climate allows a special dividend... For us long term holders l say cautiously optimistic

l believe as many do here that the share price will remain perhaps in the 44-49 range but hoping for 47-49 with a few broker reccomendations and a few positive snippits of news. positive sentiment could even push us to 50p+ but we need reason for the positive sentiment .....eg better than 0.67p

l dont get all this "pay us last years Divi"..... as l understand it That divi was cancelled so the money could be used for covid loans the same applied to all UK banks. We were never going to get that money back... l dont understand how people think that they would get it back... Our best hope of anything is a special and l can assure you it wont be 3p ... maybe 0.5p to 1p if we are very lucky indeed with excellent Q3 and Q4 figures

For those shouting about the 2p Barclays interim V Lloyds 0.67p if you do the maths with Share Price V Interim Dividend it works out proportionally almost the same.. We all have to get over the Poor (or Cautious) Interim Dividend... The Q2 Figures are solid (not Great) but somthing to build on for the future with a decent final Divi Next Year and possible Special its enough to keep me invested long term.. We have to accept baring super duper announcements we are not going to move in the 60-70p range im afraid in my opinion 50-55p will be good going though it should be more realistically

0.57p is last years Dividend 0.67p is this years interim Dividend... An interim dividend is usually 1/3 of the annual dividend with the final dividend being 2/3 so we are looking around 2p for the full year. at a price of 50p... 2p is 4% Roughly thats how it works

l agree the results Justify 50-55p a share l mean 5.1p EPS alone puts us in that range after all 10 times EPS is not pushing the boat out

Why 48p open ? Good results 5.1p EPS 0.67p Dividend good prospects but its not going to 70p any time soon ..we need better results for 70p

70% of profits to shareholders is indeed in a golden era of days gone by.. We now start post Covid with a much lower dividend base possibly 2p as opposed to a decent 3.2p dividend for the year... On the positive side we have a possible carrot of a special dividend.. make no mistake if we get on and its a big if l think it may be in the 0.5p range not the 1-3p range that most of you expect

Despite a low interim the Results in my opinion were solid on the negative side its an eternity to final dividend

Earnings per share 5.1p Interim Dividend 0.67p those figures do not make sense. They could have easily afforded to pay double

Prices go down as well as up

Barclays having a good result may indicate that our Q2 will also be good.. its not always the case but we have no reason to believe we will not to some extent mirror Barclays results, in proportion of course. Here is hoping Good Results = Good Divi
