Ian Lance, manager of the Temple Bar investment trust, says: 'Over the past 20 years, Next's buybacks have reduced the company's shares in issue from 327million to 128million.

Bumper buybacks: In 2023, the FTSE 100's members, including BP, HSBC and Shell, made £57.4bn-worth of share buybacks +2

'As a result, the earnings per share have risen from 58p to 530p, giving an annualised growth rate of nearly 12 per cent. There's also been a 3.7 per cent annual dividend, meaning shareholders have enjoyed a 15.4 per cent a year return.'

Under buyback schemes, investors do not receive an income, but do gain a larger stake in the company, plus the entitlement to more of the dividends, since the firm's earnings per share are boosted.

To simple! simples..

MANJ, £6B bid for what exactly?

I think it stands for Lloyds Development Capital, it's Lloyds lending arm to very small start up companies. Been around for years.

Don't forget the structural hedge profit's Stage. Mootley fool explains it well.

You are funny Hard! Just got back from the gym actually.. I'm calm mate, just like to see lots of blue in my HL account for the foreseeable future.. simple really x

Top hat 🎩 what is your guesstimate of the capital that would be "freed up " to pay a dividend to LBG?

Telegraph & SW Annuity book sale proceeds guesstimate £1.5B - £2B profit, extra 0.5B Buyback & 0.5p special dividend, the remainder will be kept on the balance sheet for "anomalies" OR the purchase of another company/book ie Tesco Bsnk! Thats my thoughts 💭 morning LTI! Go for it. x

Agreed Skier. Wish it would hurry up.

Agreed 👍 LTI it's been a pleasure bantering with you today. Have a good night sleep 🛌 💤

LTI , How much excess is there in LBG vaults? Tesco Bsnk as an example??

"The Lloyds BOD were planing to return what they consider excess capital to shareholders by the end of year.

Of course what they currently have in excess could just as easily be used in part or fully on an acquisition"

Why you say that Hard?;)

At least 2p per share holder chips 🍟 special, specisl dividend from the Telegraph sale, let's see who bites to that beauty! Hand pump Willy again I guess?

I never said Lloy"F"s (did you spit your dummy out?) was about to get £6B! You numpty ✊🤣. You really should have a yank from time to time to relieve some stress and try tiring a knot in something else instead of the posters on this board! 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️🤌 humpy numpty!
