Friday Email: 29 November 2024
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 quiet week rising 18 points (0.22%). The S&P 500 is up 0.98% and the Stoxx 600 is down 0.51%.
The past week has been busy in the U.K with plenty of companies reporting and declaring their dividends.
The week ahead sees a slowdown, but there is still a fair bit of reporting going on.
A surge in takeover activity for U.K firms this year illustrates the value on offer in the U.K stock market. Real dividend yields (i.e the yield over and above inflation) are very high in the U.K. and premiums on offer for takeover targets are large with bids still being rejected in some cases.
Going ex dividend this coming Thursday with yields in excess of 3% from the single dividend we have British Land for 3.1%
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.
