'' yields are now lower than if putting the cash in a bank account''
total shareholder returns for 2026-27 will far exceed interest on cash .
''I wonder if much of that return via price increase in shares is baked in on the announcement of buybacks, NOT on the commencement or final day of such.''
Was the inevitable future total returns available in future years baked in when the share price was at about 40p?
NO, that is why I bought tons of shares.
''Whilst buybacks should increase the s.p by the percentage of buybacks''
NO, the share price would only increase with a reduction to share capital. if the market doesn't decrease the market cap valuation by a greater percentage than the reduction in share capital.
'' who is to say that the board, knowing that there are less shares in circulation don't just allocate a bit less of the profits than they otherwise would have to fund the now miserly dividend''
You never change do you NC - why don't you get it over and done with and jump off a tall building.
Lloyds currently have a progressive dividend policy in addition to a policy tof buybacks.
Based on your average share price you will be getting a double digit total shareholder return for 2026.27
''thus it is the bank more than the shareholders who truly gain from buybacks.''
sort your head out
'' the shares, which is likely, drop a lot, will be buying back far less now.''.
NC re 2025
''Asperger, please can you put me down for 43p as what with PPI 2, AND billions to pay out on DCA car finance, think even that may be too high''
What is it you want - for the buyback to purchase fewer shares than previous programmes or a crash in share price back to 40p? ,giving a double digit dividend yield. Absolutely NO pleasing you Newchurch - you are a lost cause.
