'' Was hoping we were going to get a monster buyback around 2.7Billion. Maybe the extra 800 million set aside for the car finance lowered our buyback pot this year??''

The 2025 buyback was reduced re car finance.

Another £1.75 Billion amount has been announced today.

What has also been announced is they are switching to half yearly reviews when it comes to shareholder distributions, which means they could if they wish to do so, add an extra buyback amount at the half year stage

My positions on a non HSBC platform at about 574, that I used when PAY was not available to purchase for a short time on HSBC investdirect.

I will use the excellent percentage profit made to reduce my average share price on those shares held with HSBC

you are getting confused with investors and scammers

A few at over 1265p - HSBC remains my largest stock by value

A few at over 1665p

''A very knowledgeable clown .''

More laughable nonsense from someone who thought an investor now would get less than a 3% dividend yield in the next 12 months and that Lloyds could give instructions to a third party during a buyback programme as to when to pause and resume purchases - go back to school - you are clueless.

I held a high position at HSBC , working in the city and canary wharf at GHQ

HG

''Believe me lti you have no idea how the mkts work''

How extremely laughable - you are a clown - just another who doesn't like to be confronted when making naïve and ill thought out posts.

''Until then, you stick to Ai''

again , more complete nonsense from you - I do not use AI - it is unreliable - try again

33% +

''I know how it works, I'm telling you how it should work for shareholders''

I think you will find that the market operates share buybacks the way they should work - to purchase within daily pricing constraints and market regulations. There would have to be exceptional circumstances for Lloyds to stop a share buyback programme (which it has previously done)

''If I can get 10% in a few short days I'll take it and you can wait for a year for your Yield ,whatever it is!''

so again, concerns about investments at certain prices in Lloyds shares that are then cancelled should be of no concern to you then - simple.

My personal yield for the next 8 months will be about 330% +

HG

''Excellent. Well on the way to a quick 10%''

just noticed - so a sell out for a 10% profit would mean that shares bought back at higher levels would be of no consequence to you, so not worth you mentioning buyback or dividend levels

HG

''Estimates only. 4.1% was the last one I read. Not enough . Others are more attractive.''

Then I suggest if not good enough for you then you should sell, providing you are a shareholder

and not simply another disruptor

''Anyone trusting Directors to decide what share holders should suffer is quite mad.''

It is quite mad that anyone should invest in a stock and not to expect the people running the business what is best for the business and shareholders

HG

btw you have changed from giving instruction to buy on a share price fall, to not buying on share price increases.

HG

''Nothing strange about it. Set aside a sum and pay an interim. Then if the shareprice has advanced pay it into the final.''

Yes strange. Lloyds will decide to allocate/or not an amount of money for a share buyback programme. The final dividend amount will be based on what is paid as an interim. The market sets the share price each day to what it sees as fair value. Lloyds is not directly involved with the repurchasing of shares, It is delegated to a third party who will use an algorithm in a buyback programme. Lloyds will decide whether buying Lloyds shares are a good investment over other investment opportunities when deciding whether or not to allocate more money in order to reduce share capital.

tangible assets are below 2p per share

HG

''By all means set aside a reasonable sum and instruct brokers to buyback @ a certain level on any big drops.''

?? strange.

Lloyds will either set aside a certain amount of money for buybacks or they won't.

Buying is by an algorithm on a daily basis
