From yesterday's CITY AM (26 June 23) "Best of the Brokers" column: "Declining fuel costs are poised to help budget airline Jet2's finances take off. That's according to analysts at broker Peel Hunt, who think clients should buy the firm's shares, which have already climbed 25% so far this year. Aided by a strengthening pound raising demand and reducing cost of imports, Jet2 should soar in 2024 and 2025."
@aspers...all that you need to do is to download the page and immediately toggle off your browser internet connection. You get the whole article without the pop-up trying to get you to subscribe to "these thieving newspapers". Works for me!
I couldn't agree more! I first flew with Jet2 in late autumn 2019 (before covid) - an excellent package. I was so impressed that I booked another package for Easter 2020...but this was not to be because of covid. Jet2's handling and very prompt refund put it head and shoulders above the likes of Tui and others. Another holiday in 2022 was cancelled, again due to a covid lockdown. And yet again Jet2's handling was exemplary. Finally made it out again with Jet2 this Easter - another super package break. Thus I acquired shares in Dart Group (now Jet2) and added when wew had that recent dip below £7. This is a good business and I can see why they get repeat custom. Off again with Jet2 for another package in February 2023 . I'm in Thailand at the moment but Jet2 don't fly there :)
I use Jarvis XO for the SIPP, ISA and trading accounts. The divi was in all three accounts just after lunchtime on Monday.

"Absent any valid election to the contrary, shareholders (both holding in certificated and uncertificated form (CREST members)) and persons holding their shares through the Shell Corporate Nominee will receive their dividends in pounds sterling, at the pound sterling rate per ordinary share shown above."
The Board has announced that the GBP equivalent for the forthcoming USD$0.24 divi per share has been set at £0.1828 per share.
The previous divi (20 December 2021) was paid out at £0.1806 per share.
Eligible shareholders will receive this quarter's divi payment on 28th March.
From the RDSB web site. Eligible RDSB shareholders will receive the forthcoming Q1 divi of USD $0.1735 announced on 29th April at the following GBP Sterling rate: 12.26 pence per RDSB share. Payday is 21 June 2021.
The previous divi payment (March 2021) was 11.96p (US $0.1665) per RDSB share.
That was a daily uncrossing trade (UT) , i.e. a matter of backroom book balancing at the end of the trading day.
@papucel: with effect from 1st April 2021, Halifax will charge £9.50 per trade (£2 for regular scheduled investments). They are bringing in a new annual account fee of £36 per annum wef April 2022 which is a one-off fee covering all accounts held (e.g. trading, ISA, "share builder").
I moved from Halifax to Jarvis XO some time ago as there was a worthwhile saving with XO: £5.95 per trade, no annual fee for trading account or ISA.

The actual 2021 1st quarter divi will be announced on 29th April 2021.
"The Board expects that the first quarter 2021 interim dividend will be set at US$ 0.1735 per share, an increase of around 4% over the US dollar dividend for the fourth quarter 2020. The first quarter 2021 interim dividend is scheduled to be announced on April 29, 2021." - Shell's release through the London Stock Exchange
The Q4 divi announced today is exactly the same as for Q3.
Here's the key text of the Board's divi announcement to the London Stock Exchange:
"Released 07:02:00 04 February 2021
The Hague, February 4, 2021 - The Board of Royal Dutch Shell plc (“RDS” or the “Company”) today announced an interim dividend in respect of the fourth quarter of 2020 of US$ 0.1665 per A ordinary share (“A Share”) and B ordinary share (“B Share”).
The Board expects that the first quarter 2021 interim dividend will be set at US$ 0.1735 per share, an increase of around 4% over the US dollar dividend for the fourth quarter 2020. The first quarter 2021 interim dividend is scheduled to be announced on April 29, 2021."
Today's announced divi is for Q4 2020 and is US$ 0.1665 per RDSB share - it's the same as announced for Q3 2020.
The Board's suggested 4% divi increase relates to the interim divi 2021 Q1 which is scheduled to be announced on 29 April 2021.
I sold out all RDSB in my nominee account (made a nice profit on my purchases in April and May) but have left the RDSB holding in my ISA account intact. I'm looking to buy back at around £12.
@Oracle: As, I'm a professional biologist, I have to correct you. No, there is no DNA involved. The Oxford/AZ adenovirus vector vaccine uses RNA - that's rather an important distinction. Regarding efficacy of a single dose of the Oxford/AZ vaccine, here's what the Oxford team itself says, "ChAdOx1 was chosen as the most suitable vaccine technology for a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine as it has been shown to generate a strong immune response from one dose in other vaccines".
Nope.
