Friday Email: 29 January 2021
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 has had a bad week falling over 3% as the Gamestop saga in the US and vaccine roll out issues in Europe have dented investor optimism in the short term. The pound has also been strong which hurts the main UK indices.
The past week saw a small level of activity in the UK and was very busy in the U.S. with hundreds of Q4 dividend declarations.
The week ahead picks up slightly as we see final results from the two oil majors B.P. and Royal Dutch Shell. There are also final results from FTSE 100 heavyweight Unilever and interm results from FTSE 100 constituents Hargreaves Lansdown and Barratt Developments.
Going ex dividend this coming Thursday with yields in excess of 2% we have Baronsmead Second Venture Trust (4.5%), Albion Enterprise Venture Capital Trust (2.6%), TI Fluid Systems (2.5%), AEW Reit (2.4%) and Downing one VCT for 2.4%.
The Friday email is delivered to over 20,000 subscriber’s every week, and remains a widely read run-down of recent events and what investors can expect in the week ahead written by our chief analyst Mark Riding.
It’s included as part of the free DividendMax trial.
