it helps if you make it clear you are quoting someone (re DCB) otherwise it becomes your own

''From Europe to India, farmers have taken to the streets''

was that due to the UK leaving the EU as well?

ffs

I have given you all the facts that are needed already.

The amount of money that vodafone will pay out in dividends will depend upon the amount per share that is declared multiplied by the number of shares in issue that are eligible for a dividend.

The number of shares in issue on xd dates in the future are an unknown.

The number of shares that can be purchased and cancelled will depend on price levels.

The reduction in share count will not be by 20% unless the average price paid is lower than the current price - unlikely in my opinion, unless the business takes a turn for the worse.

The buybacks will run into the later stages of 2025

November is xd's for interims payable in February, which we had last month.

The final dividend goes xd in June and payable in August

''No that's the final dividend, we announce results in May and that dividend becomes ex dividend in November.''

No the final dividend goes xd in June and payable in August

.

The re based divi (interim) will go xd in November.

Be

'' the next interim dividend will be ex div in Feb 2025''

No it is Nov 2024

''might not be 20% of the shares''

might? - No, 20% of shares would not have been bought and cancelled by the next interim xd date. The total 4 Billion spend will likely run until nearer the end of 2025, and the percentage of shares bought back and cancelled will depend upon the prices paid.

The total shareholder returns is being increased in the next financial year.

Dividend amounts per share following from the re base are an unknown at this point in time, and will obviously depend upon how the business shapes up.

''If it could just creep up to 60, say by July, that would just be fine by me!''

I am sure that it would be fine by a number of shareholders as well.

''Useless donkey, will sell a load more next time it gets over 52p''

What was wrong with selling at over 52p today, which was a next time.

B

btw the total returns including the buybacks are increasing

Boe

Vodafone won't miss the Spanish/Italian contribution.

''cancelling 20% of the shares whilst trimming the dividend by 50% is effectively at 60% cut''

??

the spending of 4 Billion on shares would take a long time - unlikely to be much before the end of 2025. The re based dividend will start this year. The BOD if they so wish, could increase

the dividend from the re based level , before or after the completion of the 2X2 Billion buybacks. Hopefully the first buyback will start before July.

Dan

it would be in numerous places

B

??

the sales in Spain and Italy ARE going through - 2X2 Billion buybacks ARE going to happen.

The dividend IS going to be cut.

'' the lower earnings mean the divi is even less sustainable''

not sure that Spain/Italy contributed much towards profits.

Buybacks for cancellation will make dividends MORE sustainable

Dan

'' I think if there is a divi cut,the sp will fall more than if the divi is held.''

if ??

the intention to cut the dividend has already been announce d- the market knows it's coming

?

Shareholders keeping their shares for the long term should be in no hurry to see an increase in share price before the 2X2 Billion share repurchase programmes get underway/completed.

of course you did .

in any case what is the relevance to lloyds pref shares.

''you being rude, doubt you'd do that in real life.''

rude? I would tell anyone to their face if they are being a dkhead, that they are a dkhead.

I would tell anyone to their face if they are lying that they are a lying.

I don't let people get away with things.

Brix

of course I did you p rat

Brix

paying 83p for the preference share would give a yield of nearly 12%.

You obviously have no problem disrupting with complete and utter nonsense, which on each occasion makes you appear even more stupid

Which is better than Brixton is receiving with cash on deposit. Brixton can expect lower returns on cash as interest rates drop. Purchases of these prefs now would give about a 6.5% yearly income forever more

The current yield is about 6.5% for those purchasing now

Brix

The more of such posts you make the greater the dkhead you appear.

Why don't you leave the stage for serious investors.
