You better tell the company that then, because that's what they've been calling it for the past six years... If you check the RNS history it shows a trading update at the beginning of April every year, followed by final results in the latter half of May.
Porta Communications (PTCM) has made a strong start to 2016, but the financial PR part of the business in particular has been held back by the EU referendum. That is because there is a pipeline of potential flotations that could have already joined the stockmarket, but they have decided to put off their final decision until they know what the result of the vote will be. By the time the result is known the summer will be in full swing and it could mean that these flotations may not happen until the autumn - if at all.
I always saw BHS as inferior to M&S - just going from the stores that are local to me and others I visited. Plus BHS doesn't have the food aspect like M&S which is what seems to be working the most for them.
Yeah, I wouldn't buy into something just for the dividend, although I know some people do it. Whether it's going ex-div or not you have to have some logical reason for investing in a stock. If this coincides with it going ex-div you then have to choose whether you get in before, and guarantee yourself x amount of money for the dividend; or wait until the day when the div amount is removed from the SP and get in then.
Think I caused the confusion over the divi - apologies for that. The info I had was misleading and now I know better! Here's the deal - you have to purchase the stock BEFORE the ex-div date. So no Mtruckle, if you purchase them today you will not get the dividend. And as ham18naz says, if you bought yesterday you could sell them today and still get the divi, but it wouldn't make too much sense IMO as the SP has been reduced accordingly anyway.
Looked around a bit more and seems the wording on the site I was looking at was more confusing than others, which got me in a muddle. It is now imprinted in my brain that you CAN sell on the ex-div date and still get the dividend. Thanks for correcting me guys - you learn something new every day :)
Ah ok- I'm outnumbered ;) I thought you had to hold until after the record date to qualify. I read that if you buy or sell shares of stock between the ex-dividend date and the record date that the stock is said to trade without its dividend. So should it just say any stocks BOUGHT between the ex-div and record date trade without their dividend?? Why would they have put sell as well? Or is it just to confuse people like me?
No - you cannot sell tomorrow (today). You have to have bought before today (the ex-dividend date) to qualify, and you have to be on the register at COB on the record date, which is the 3rd. Any transactions in between the ex-div date and the record date don't count.
