The market is now pushing this share up, but you do tend to find that a lot of shareholders who bought in when the dividend was announced and the share price was lower will sell before ex dividend day and not wait for the drop and a guess on when and if they recover to today's S.P. myself I bought some at 412p and if they continue to rise today and tomorrow I will sell them tomorrow and more than take what the dividend would have paid, and not have the wait for the dividend and weather they will recover, needless to say I also bought at 426p so will hold on to those.
