António Horta-Osório, chief executive, said that the bullish outlook for the bank was unlikely to be affected by Brexit. He said he was “strongly confident” that Britain and the EU would agree a withdrawal deal by November.

Analysts at Jefferies, the broker, kept their “buy” recommendation on Lloyds shares, saying that the latest results had beaten City expectations, but saw no reason to upgrade their forecasts.

“We do not see consensus earnings estimates moving that much in either direction on the back of today’s release,” Jefferies said in a note to clients.

The bank is on course to dramatically increase the pace of shareholder returns, according to City analysts. Investec said it would lift its dividend per share to 4.1p by 2020 from 3.1p in 2017, as well as launching an even larger share buyback.

Mr Horta-Osório said yesterday that the bank’s current £1 billion share buyback programme was 75 per cent complete. Analysts speculated that the bank could begin a fresh £1.5 billion to £2 billion buyback once the programme was over, based on expectations that the lender’s surplus capital for 2018 would exceed £4 billion.

With so much spare money rattling around Lloyds, there has been rising speculation about acquisitions. Mr Horta-Osório played down talk of any big deals, saying there was “nothing material” on the cards, but added that further smaller, bolt-on deals were possible if the bank spotted the right opportunity.

Analyst Laith Khalaf said while the numbers were ‘heavily skewed by PPI, Lloyds’ underlying profit growth shows the bank is in rude health’. ‘Revenues are up, costs are flat and bad loans are very low and expected to remain so,’ he said. The shares rose 1.8% to 63.5p yesterday, as investors cheered news of a 1.07p interim dividend, up from 1p last year. Lloyds shares have drifted over Brexit fears and Khalaf said ‘while this sentiment doesn’t look like shifting any time soon, Lloyds’ shareholders are being paid to wait’. ‘The bank is expected to deliver a total dividend of 3.44p this year, equivalent to a 5.5% income yield. Not bad, if you can get it,’ said Khalaf.

Lloyds Banking : Lawmakers criticise Lloyds compensation scheme for HBOS fraud victims
Envoyer par e-mail

LONDON (Reuters) - A group of lawmakers on Monday wrote to the financial watchdog and the board of Lloyds Banking Group, listing their concerns about the lender's compensation scheme for victims of a major fraud at its HBOS Reading division.
The letters, signed by MP Kevin Hollinrake, who chairs the All Party Parliamentary Group for Fair Business Banking, accused the bank of "victim blaming" and "a complete lack of objective methodology".

"We have no trust in such an opaque process," he wrote.

Lloyds could not immediately be reached for comment.

"LLoy is undervalued probably due to legacy issues and Brexit."

You can add buybacks to the list as well

Lloyds could post first-half profits of £3.1billion, according to Morgan Stanley, in its best results since the crisis.

Lloyds could see its net interest income rise by £850m a year by 2020 if rates rise three times by 2020, while Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is set to benefit by £650m a year, according to separate estimates from equities analysts at Barclays. While Lloyds and RBS stand to gain the most because of their massive current account deposit businesses, Banks generally benefit from higher interest rates because they can charge borrowers more on loans such as mortgages. Lloyds is expected to report net income for the quarter of more than £1bn, although a boost from higher interest rates could be overshadowed by a charge for higher compensation payouts for payment protection insurance (PPI) misselling. The upside for British banks is likely to be limited in the coming months by the uncertain outlook surrounding the Brexit process and the broader economy.
