Tesco is one of the worlds leading international retailers. Since the company first the trading name of Tesco, in the mid 1920s, the group has expanded into different formats, different markets and different sectors. The UKs leading retailer Tesco was floated on the stock exchange in 1947 and in 1995 took over rival Sainsburys position as the UK number one. The principal activity of the group is food retailing, with over 2,000 stores worldwide. Tesco has a long term strategy for growth, based on four key parts: growth in the Core UK business, to expand by growing internationally, to be as strong in non-food as in food and to follow customers into new retailing services. The company launched a home shopping service in 2000, allowing customers to order their shopping online. Tesco is now expanding its convenience stores and overseas into areas such as Taiwan, Malaysia, Poland, the US and Ireland.

Lower graph = 12 month volume (red line = volume average).

It will be around the 25th April I'd guess - its not yet been announced as far as I can find.

It will be 25th Apr, paid 6th June 2012.

Quick fall on some volume.

That was a shortlived rise for Tesco bunny here......

TSCO looks like a short SBRY is a better buy at present as they still have their Gulf shareholders onboard.

I'm looking to get back in Tesco....but not sure when....

Im looking to get out - but not sure when ....

Lol...

Because tesco are not cash rich . Sale of more property to fund improvements ?
How long will this take and will it all work ?

I think.....waiting is the best thing to do.....I'm thinking of a long because the ntr is low....

Good luck to Philip Clarke, as Im not under estimating what a huge job to turn this operation around. If he succeeds he deserves a massive bonus.

Let's see anyone gota chart perspective?

ATM, it looks like a bearish engulfing candle!

You need to be in before the 27th for the final div. Rf
The Board has approved a final dividend of 10.13p per share. Combined with the increase in the interim dividend, this brings the full year dividend increase to 2.1%, in line with the growth in full year underlying diluted earnings per share at a constant tax rate. Dividend cover has increased to a strong 2.5* times. The final dividend will be paid on 6 July 2012 to shareholders on the Register of Members at the close of business on 27 April 2012.
