Friday Email: 28 February 2020

Every Friday morning our lead analyst Mark Riding sends out his weekly run-down and upcoming events in the investor calendar, like this one:

The FTSE 100 is having a dreadful week and has fallen over 11% from 7403 to 6580. The fear of a serious impact on the global economy from the Corona virus has impacted investors causing large falls on stock markets globally.

The past week has been very very busy with large numbers of companies reporting; the dividend picture remains very good.

The week ahead is also very busy with plenty of companies reporting.

Going ex-dividend this coming Thursday with  yields from the single dividend in excess of 2% we have Evraz (8.6%), Rio Tinto (4.5%), Persimmon (4%), BHP Group (3.3%), Diversified Gas and Oil (2.9%), RSA Insurance (2.9%), Urban Logistics (2.6%), Alumasc (2.5%), McCarthy and Stone (2.4%), City of London Investment group (2.3%) and Regional REIT for 2.1%.
