Legal and General - LGEN

Thats exactly why I have a separate spreadsheet where I adjust the cost price after every sale or purchase and which also includes the stamp duty paid on the shares that way I always have an accurate list of what I own and how much the profit or loss is and total dividends for each share.

The big assumption you’re making there is that the dividend is sustainable in the long term. As discussed above there is a reasonable argument to be made that this isn’t the case. Personally i am unsure. I’m not selling but I would want to look further at that before buying more.

LGEN is a long term hold for me as part of my dividend income portfolio. I’m not adding new capital, just reinvesting my dividends (only because it’s my biggest individual share holding and I want to build up the other stocks in my portfolio).

I remain cautiously optimistic about the future of LGEN, given the recent appointment of a new asset management CEO (ex-Prudential Financial) who, it has been said, will be focused on profitable growth and opportunity.

Are you thinking back to the April dividend. It is the final one, weras the August one is an interim one and therefore lower. Here is the actual dividend information for LGEN for the past 2 years:

Any reason the SP has dropped on this?

Have i missed something for the 7p jump this morning ?

I was just thinking the same thing!

according to my news feed they did an RNS release today which apparently is hinting at giving more money back to shareholders than previously advised.

Also completed but back it started earlier in year

LGEN is indeed a solid dividend stock with strong fundamentals, making it a great choice for long-term portfolios. It’s definitely a reliable core pick for many investors.

Is this post written by AI? It’s just got that kind of ring to it. (As do some previous posts). But I don’t understand what the point of anyone doing that would be…?
