Very odd

As expected

"The big society!" died with the fleeing Cameron......never to be seen again,
Leaving the Country in the lurch...

Great explanation..... PROF
The results were far less than I expected but the market loved them with a 10% rise.
Delighted and confused until I saw your post

I think we may back on track, hopefully

Directors renumeration are based in part on lloyds earnings performance.
Increasing renumeration for doing nowt as buyback earnings only increase.
No wonder buybacks are overused by greedy elites.
While shareholders get stuffed with lousy results.
Rant over

Don't forget 100% of claims cost. As each cost to process every claim.
The company always seem to underestimate adding more provisions regularly

The accounts are for the six months ended 30 June 2019.
So two months left plus all the PPI claims in the pipeline at the end of June

IC TIP UPDATES:

First half pre-tax profits for Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY) have arrived seven per cent adrift of the same period last year and below market expectations. The fly in the ointment appears to be another £550m payment protection insurance charge in the second quarter, which the UK’s largest mortgage lender said was driven by a “significant increase in information request volumes…ahead of the August deadline”. More encouragingly, costs dropped 5 per cent, the interim dividend rose 5 per cent, and the net interest margin held firm at 2.9 per cent. Interim results made no mention of Tesco’s mortgage book, for which Lloyds has reportedly secured preferred bidding status. Shares are off 4 per cent in early trading, though we remain buyers.

Apple CEO Tim Cook's comments about improving business conditions in China, which accounts for 17% of Apple's business, further cheered investors, sending Apple's shares up more than 4% in after hours trading on Tuesday.

That's what the bible (Stockopedia) says....

Lloyds Banking was down 4.4% as the lender took further payment protection insurance provisions.In the six months to June 30, Lloyds's pretax profit slipped 7.1% to GBP2.90 billion from GBP3.12 billion the year before. The bank's net interest income declined 3.0% to GBP6.15 billion from GBP6.34 billion, while total net income slipped 1.7% to GBP8.82 billion. The bank has upped its PPI provisions, meanwhile, to GBP650 million from GBP550 million last year. Lloyds said it took a PPI charge of GBP550 million in the second quarter - following a GBP100 million provision in the first - due to a "significant increase in information request volumes" ahead of the August 29 claims deadline."A higher than expected charge this quarter will hold back full year capital generation, and is likely to have negative consequences for shareholder returns this year.

The Federal Reserve is widely expected cut the federal funds rate down to a range of 2% to 2.25% when the Fed's policy statement is released Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET. And two more rate cuts after this one are expected before the end of the year.
