The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
Casual observer in this share- not really my sector- but a keen Formula 1 fan- just wondering whether you guys invested see the F1 results as impactful on the share price and brand image?
I noted some articles last year after their strong start to the season implying that the share price benefitted - just wondering how the market sees it a year on, ahead of the new season?
I remember reading
Hey Guys, hope all well.
As a keen live sport streamer in an age where satellite TV is likely to become extinct, this potential breakthrough from BT, announced in December, caught my eye.

Whilst it is a great thing in terms of reducing lag of live sport streaming compared to satellite, and energy saving through the reduced cache, I’m trying to understand the scale of this and how it could generate income for BT.
Any idea if the sort of charge and at what scale BT could introduce this to big broadcast partners? I can see they are already trialling with the BBC so will be intrigued to see who else they get on board.
Any reason why this dropped 6% over the past week or so?
Are they still midway through the £3bn buyback or has that ended?
Can I just check, do we have an estimated pay date for the final interim dividend and also the separate special dividend on the back of the Canada sale?
Am I right in saying the Canada dividend is expected to be $0.21 per share and the final interim dividend is expected to be $0.34 per share?
Good move forward recently to break the £5 barrier for the first time in a while- you would suspect in anticipation of annual results.A higher interest rate environment in the next couple of years would see HSBC achieve some substantial profit gains- I’ve been of the opinion their results have been extremely good when you consider the low interest rate environment of recent years so there is a lot of potential as we look ahead towards economic recovery. Hopefully will hear more on dividends at the annual results drop- that would be very nice.
HSBC appear to struggle to please the market - despite posting eye-watering profits in recent years the market wants more.
Do we think cost control is the key driver of this? Low interest rates are one of the biggest headwinds and Noel Quinn talked previously about a move towards a fee based business in the interim as the world tries to rebuild after the COVID crisis before we see interest rates rise. With that in mind, mitigating costs to lock in gains seems key.
There appear to have been some cuts and restructures but how far do they need to go?
As for dividend, I would be staggered if one is not paid given Barclays recent announcements that they would. I suspect to appease the regulator it would be more modest than previous but with a view to returning to full amount in the new financial year. Will the market be lukewarm to a modest dividend?
With Barclays posting their best ever results from the investment arm I expect a very good Q4 result from HSBC as Asia should have been even further forward in this regard having seemingly got on top of COVID. So I think it could be a very positive result but again depends on the key priority of the market view.
Thoughts?
