Share dividend advice.

Looking at purchasing some shares for the first time. Could someone please confirm if they are paying 20.3p per share or 10.3p.

Many thanks.

Yes, they could.

but only if you let us in on the secret.

And if you're talking about dividends, what they pay today is not what they'll pay next time.

No point in being secretive about it if you're going to quote directly from the press releases

It's exactly what it says - a 10.3p dividend. Then, if the shareholders approve, there's an extra payment to return some more cash to the shareholders.

Ah, you're talking about Barratt.

It looks to me like they'll be paying 20.3p (less tax) on 20th November.

The ex-devidend date is 29-Oct and I'd expect the share price to fall by something approaching the above once the ex-div date is passed.

I'm not a financial advisor and the above should not be taken as advice of any kind.

Wasn't a secret just saving on quoting the whole page.
