LLoyds Banking group- Dividend?Looking at Lloyds even at these prices as a good dividend stock. something to potentially have instead on a low yield BTL.
Lloyds have a net asset value of 52p per share, so current trading conditions mean its cheaper rn to buy compared to 5 years prior to virus.
imo with everyone taking out loans they need to repay for businesses, mortgages with the booming property market they have a nice set up and future ahead.
2019/20 was 3.26p per total share. so with a buy of a share around 50p with that same dividend you'd be around 6.5% yield. obviously the dividend will not be as good now but you can easily see capital appreciation from share value even at these prices. Next key resistance being around 50p then a lot of upside from there.
thoughts?
LLOY trade ideas
LLOY upside potential from here? LLOY is recovering nicely from last year's mauling but 40-43 was always going to be a tough area, as proved in November. 40.79 was the high/failure back then but we are now above here and making bullish noises, getting back to levels last seen in March of last year. Resistance above is pretty sparse due to how quickly it dropped last year, suggesting that it could head back to levels like 48.50 and 54.50 without too much getting in the way.
Has sentiment at #LLOY improved?Hello traders
This analysis is following up on my previous idea, which can be found in the link below.
I thought I'd give some clarity on where the price could go, following the board's earnings release.
I have included two Fib retracements. Firstly, from the ~67p peak last year to the low mid Sep at ~23p. This gives us a broader outlook of where the price has been, and where it could go long term. Secondly, and the most critical in question, a retracement Fib from 39.5p resistance of 24 Nov 2020, to 33p support of 29 Jan 2021. This gives us a clue on where the price can go short term.
On the day of earnings release, the share price opened with a gap up, but eventually closed below resistance. Currently, the share price is using the 0.786 Fib level as support. The next few trading days will tell us more. I don't expect the price to fall below said Fib level, if it does, it would be interesting to see if the 20SMA acts as support. More importantly, if price closes above 39.5p, this will be the highest in over 11 months, and would see a bullish ascent.
The company released earnings a couple of days ago. Due to the pandemic, all stakeholders are aware that profits will fall dramatically. Question is therefore, are they better or worse than expected? Lloyds stated profits falling to £1.2bln which beats consensus. Additionally, the bank's core capital ratio increased to 16.2% compared to 15.2% in September. This is a key measure of financial resilience.
A final dividend of 0.57p per share has been announced. This is the max permitted following rules by the BoE.
For me, reasons to go long are clear, especially with an end to lockdown in sight, enabling the economy to open up again.
Let me know of your thoughts, if you disagree with me or otherwise, or if you want further information. I'll do my best to help.
Please follow me and give me a like, that would help massively.
Thank you.
All eyes on #LLOYTomorrow, Lloyds, the UK's largest retail bank, will release their earnings report. Investors will be eager to see how LLoyds' earnings have fared especially during the pandemic, but also compared to its peers, inlcuding Barclays et al.
Additionally, as other banks have reinstated some form of dividend, shareholders will also want some of the same. This may be a bit more tricky however, due to LLoyds' limited exposure compared to its rivals. We shall see.
From the chart, we can see clear resistance at 39.55p, with the end of day close very strong, especially with HSBA producing their earnings. It will be interesting to see how investors will react in the next few trading sessions.
Let me know of any comments you may have. Thanks.
LLOYDS + BARCLAYS BANK BREAK OUTS Hello Trade Viewers, i'm fairly new to trading so i'm mainly writing this post to clarify my own thoughts, and would also welcome any feedback.
Here we can see lloyds has climbed on upward trend since september, and broken out of its previous March resistance at 37, and we have a new base support with two points bouncing off 33 which is now showing a bull flag pattern. With the rollout of vaccine and an itch for businesses to get back into business, UK bank economists have recently reported that the UK economy is 'spring loaded' ,and ready to burst out once out of the covid lockdown gates. Perhaps this is a good moment to make a buy trade that could bounce back to the pre-covid support line of 50 (which is also confirmed with the fib tool 0.618) or beyond to the previous highs of 70. The stock is not overbought or oversold with an rsi of around 55.
i also think that after the initial economic 'spring' bounces back there could be a slump later on in the year, especially if cv-19 lags and the bank of England has to make negative interest rates. That could last for some time due to the amount the government has had to borrow so it could be a short hold of 1-3 months, but lloyds is part of the ftse 100 best performing companies and a solid bank who i have been banking with for over 15 years and never had a problem with, in fact i find there digital online service pretty good and would not mind going long. Reviews also suggest that Barclays bank could potentially be a better investment so maybe it is worth going in on both. Also Jpm morgan looking to bringing a new bank to UK which would be competition to consider.
Thanks for reading and see you next time.

Lloyds - buy the dips? - Looking to add to an existing holding on lloyds.
We have the following Confluences / Observations;
1) Initial push above EMA and close above
2) Consolidation of these gains at around 36p (not a fake out)
3) Rejection of a move below EMAs and another push higher
4) There was then some rejection from the 40p region and further consolidation again at 36p - showing this as an emerging area of Support
RISKS
1) It does look as though there is momentum divergence to the downside (momentum creating a lower high, and then falling rapidly)- this is not to say that price should sharply decline, but rather that another push higher isnt just around the corner - so dont get in too early as the stock may continue its consolidation for a while
2) Predictions of a house price crash in 2021 have hampered the shares, as seen by the bearish engulfers at 40p & 38p
I will be looking to buy again if price pushes down to the 35-36p region and this area holds (dont buy into a rapidly falling market!)
lloyds i hope your enjoying my simple price action analysis, which is different to indicator trading which is seen alot on here. so lloyds has taken a big hit since covid which is to be expected but with price being this low, its both looking good as a long term growth stock, and potentially trading this squeezing wedge to about 0.32, which is almost 50 percent gains we cant grumble!
