''I would have preferred Lloyds to have increased the dividend''

The final dividend has been increased by 20% over the 2021 final.
Current yield and prospective forward yield is well above the ftse 100 average, so there really is no room for complaint when it comes to dividends

''With trifling sums of buybacks, the expected added 'value' to each share is easily lost.''

you were complaining about buybacks at BP near the end of April 2021 when the share price was at £3 , when using your ID. 'Croton' - I have not noticed you complaining more recently about them (unless I missed it). BP continue to gobble up the shares

If Lloyds undertook a minimum £2 Billion plus share repurchase programme each and every year the accumulated amount would not be 'trifling' and the effects would clearly be seen.

We have just started a 2nd year with a £2 Billion repurchase programme. If that continued for a further 9 years, that would be a total of £22 Billion, about the same amount as was paid out in PPI.
Current market cap is about £35 Billion.

The dividend from HSBC is still way down from the 51 cents total it last paid in 2018.
Their dividends are progressing from a lower base, the same as Lloyds are.

Any special dividend paid by HSBC would have come about as a result of the sale of their business in Canada, which will be concluded later in the year

the accumulative effect of having large buybacks each year would have a positive longer term affect.
BP has been buying large percentages of stock back

'' reducing the share count will increase the EPS''

the share count was reduced in 2018 at a cost of 63p per share.

A share buyback has little influence on the day to day share price levels.
If Lloyds is to go higher in share price this year, it would have done so with or without a share repurchase programme.

I would be voting for a 0.5% increase, but I imagine the majority on the MPC
will not do so

A share buyback has little influence on the day to day share price levels.
There is constant exchange of shares throughout the day with prices that people are willing to purchase and sell at.
If Lloyds is to go higher in share price this year, it would have done so with or without a share repurchase programme. The same applies to a downtrend - a buyback wouldn't stop it.
The end result will be as last year, a number of shares removed from the market . The RNS to start off the buyback may well state that the sole aim is to reduce the share count.

in April.

Over 3% cash return available for investors purchasing Lloyds shares today, payable within a few months from now.

An alternative for people to think about compared with a yearly return on cash .

rise, now less than a month away

''Don't worry''

What about Warren Buffet worth about 100 Billion dollars still working doing deals at the age of 92, with his right hand man worth a couple of Billion at the age of 99.
There are a number of people similar. They carry on because they enjoy it.
WB has taken a salary of only 100 thousand dollars per year for the last 42 years being the CEO of BH.

''do you want a medal for working for hongkong hsbc''

what a very weird statement

''but you seem to dislike any of us who want what is due ''

another very weird statement - investors are 'due' nothing apart from returns being given the go ahead by Lloyds. Apart from that every shareholders shares will rise or fall in value by the same percentage determined by what the market is prepared to pay.

''we cannot trust lloyds anymore to look after those who hold''

they keep on coming - it is each persons decision whether to purchase and retain shares or not - take personal responsibility

''we are being punished ''
very very weird

''you dont live in this country''
does that top the lot?

order cancelled - don't think any possible anniversary Russian action will drop the price a few pence tomorrow.
