Yeah, I might have been trying to be a little humorous by suggesting £7 today.

Apologies. I understand this board is humour adverse.

I'll self flagellating as I type.

....that's what she said.

£7 today?

£7

I was just about to post this..... 😂

"sorry to batter on about it *****cat, but i honestly think the market was expecting a dividend"

...and what has been announced is confirmation of Div return in the short term as already described in the CMD.

Auction - as expected.

I wasn't having a go mate - I'm simply stating that unless RR collapses in the next 6 months, you will be getting your div like everyone else.

Can people not read?

"Shareholder payments: We are not making shareholder payments for 2023. As we shared at our capital markets day in November 2023, once we are comfortably within an investment grade profile and the strength of our balance sheet is assured, we are committed to reinstating and growing shareholder distributions."

Or where you expecting a brown envelope to be pushed through your door this morning?

What's not to like. OP at £1.6bln forecast for 2024 between £1.7bn-£2.0bln.

It was only expected to be between £1bln - £1.4bln.

Commitment to Divs once above is achieved.

This is a Stella set of results.

375p close here we come.

For the record, I'm 7 and I just lay around and lick my balls all day.

Pays to be a cat.

"I feel lloyds could be a great prospect LT"

I think the new car finance scandal may inhibit that short/mid term. Let's not forget they had 25% of the car finance deals.

I concur.... although I think nearer to 1.9bln OP.

Nice read.

Ar5senal, with all due respect, I am simply telling you what the CFO and CEO said in the CMD.

I know many didn't watch it.

The information in terms of Divs return in straight from the horses mouth - it's not my opinion, it was in the bloody CMD!

"I think you are getting carried away with yourself and your views to some are very misleading."

Watch the CMD and then we can talk.

"Your prediction of the share price flying due to a dividend payment being announced pie in the sky and doesn’t make sense."

Rather than me explain why a BB/BB+ junk status "non investable" company hit 334p from 113p in one year, why don't you tell me why the impetus of a re-introduction of Div, thus allowing for a Fitch rating of BBB (be it minus, equal or positive) but none the less "investible grade" won't in the same breath, increase it's SP and MCap?

I'm all ears - I've got two really good ones.

"I just got your email with thanks - we are indeed connected and on the same wavelength."

Great to hear - I'm with a fellow aloof.

"That (dividend) cream for the cat and could trigger a two-fold scenario 1) Investment upgrade status and 2) opening the gate for large inflows at end-on-month buying demand by pensions/institutions."

Spot on Svend - do you get my catmail (released a few minutes ago) or are you just on the same wavelength?
