We have not got high interest rates - cannot live on free money forever - good for those earning a little return on cash savings now, as opposed to virtually nothing for a decade +

Plus the 'special', because of the current exchange rate will total 24.3432p per share, lower than the final dividend of 24.829p

'' thus is valuing it lower for good reason, not just to do Lloyds a favour in allowing cheaper shares for their buyback.''

??????

Unfortunately the market has priced each share at more than a 30% premium to what it was only 4 months ago, making the funds allocated to the share repurchase programme not go anywhere near as far as it would have done.

''JP Morgan analysts said''

amazing how these analysts can analyse before the publication of a manifesto.

Of course it may be what is NOT in the manifesto that will have the greatest impact once the feet have settled under the table for a couple of years.

Think carefully before voting for socialist.

In valuation over the last couple of months, with currently another good gain today.

Long may it last.

allowances are of greater worth for smaller investors - the rate of tax payable is the most important regarding income and gains.

Allowances do very little for me

There will be many getting out of stocks with a minimum 20% tax on dividends

''Why shouldn't they pay 20%?''

So that there is an incentive to invest in the UK stock market/businesses which carries risk - there should always be a risk premium, otherwise what is the point.

''what's to keep people here when a fixed isa is only slightly lower than the dividend''

I am sure you know that interest paid on cash is variable depending on market rates. Lloyds has a progressive dividend policy along with a buyback policy.

''more hardship for Lloyds investors share price going sideways for longer''

???

Lloyds price per share is up about 35% in about 4 months.

Volume has been low for quite a while now. Valuations do not keep going up in a straight line. As I have said already, a current share price would have to be about 60p, just to be at the market cap of Jan 2022 with a share price of 53p.

Many influencing factors on Lloyds and the market, with base/borrowing rates being of more importance to some businesses than others.

Lloyds is currently lowly valued against assets and profitability

Any pause or dip in share price is beneficial for the repurchase programme.

''SB shorting is in profit now.''

how many more times - your SB posts were proved to be FAKE - you must have mental issues

''Good one M-D''

what does that make you?

Minus 58

if you think that IG currently showing minus 35 for the ftse 100 equates to 'looks like' then yes

''A valid train of thought is that buybacks starve a company of money to invest & grow.''

complete nonsense.

Buybacks are normal conducted from excess capital where the business does not need it for other purposes and most often when the value of the business is seen as being undervalued by the market. In the case of Vodafone the buybacks are being paid for from SOME of the capital being raised from the non performing asset sales.

Socialist will want as much of YOUR money as possible.

you posting anything related to Lloyds recently, just re emphasises my opinion that you are a complete and utter FOOL, hoping for a gullible audience (including moderators) - as if it wipes out your previous 8 + years of posts.

You are not and never have been a Lloyds bank investor - not with this ID or the previous 129 .

You have been here years simply for your anti UK, pro Irish/EU narrative

you appear to be confused.

The asset value is increasing because of the rights issue - this will go towards investment - NG are projecting asset compound annual growth rate of 10%.

The market values NG on a daily basis, with investors deciding how much they are prepared to pay for a share of the assets and profitability of NG.

NG's investment will grow EPS on a yearly basis.

I am afraid that a car is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it.

''So we shareholders have stumped up our cash and it has had zero effect on the net worth of the company''

??

the net assets will increase, reflecting the money raised just as going xd yesterday decreased net assets.
