From the RNS 17/11/21 Net Zero Acceleration Programme
"Growth-enabling dividend, paying at least £3.50 per share across the five years, comprising:
o completion of current RPI linked dividend plan to March 2023
o followed by a rebased dividend to 60p in 23/24 with attractive annual growth of at least 5% to March 2026"
Since that RNS I've expected the share price to tumble, but it seems to be defying gravity. If I understand that correctly, that the annual dividend will be reduced to 60p, I'd expect the SP to be around the 1200p level (giving 5% yield). The current SP says I have it wrong. The SP was around 1650 at the time of the RNS. I'm on the side, waiting to see how it pans out, the rise to 1900 gave me pause for thought.
