Friday Email: 01 April 2022
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 trading up 39 points (0.52%) on the week. The Stoxx 600 is up 0.86% and the S&P 500 is up 0.17%.
The past week was quite busy from a reporting perspective as the main reporting season for year end 2021 drew to a close. Next week reporting dries up and the following weeks will be mainly trading statements with a small amount of reporting and dividend decalarations.
As a result of the reporting season, we have a very large number of companies going ex dividend this coming Thursday. There are so many in fact that we will only mention those yielding 3% or more from the single dividend:
International Personal Finance (5.6%), Direct Line (5.5%), Chesnara (4.8%), DFS (special 4.8% plus ordinary 1.8%), Vistry (4.2%), Savills (special 3.8% plus supplementary 1.4% plus ordinary 1.1%), TP ICAP (3.7%), Abrdn (3.4%), Somero Enterprises (3.3% ordinary plus 3% special)
There will be a good few weeks of high ex dividend numbers through April.
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.
