It will be paid in June, 1st/2nd week. Last paid 16th March.

I hold lots of HSBC and LLoyds!

Investec note:
While Barclays shares have underperformed, tumbling 20% since 2 March, Blackrock, (19.7% owned by Barclays), closed at a near 10-month high of US$205 on 30 March – up 15% in the quarter. This alone adds 5p to the Q1 tNAV per share that Barclays will print on 26 April, helping to offset a partial reversal of 2011 FVOOD gains. Factor in a resurgent Q1 performance in Barcap, and Barclays looks a little cheap at 0.5x 2011 tNAV. Despite a weak RoE outlook, (hence our unchanged 240p TP), we upgrade back to Buy.

We forecast Barcap revenues of £11.1bn in 2012E vs consensus of £10.9bn and a 2011 outturn of £10.3bn. However, given Bob’s “promise” of a positive Q1/Q1 result, if Barcap were to achieve close to £3.6bn in Q1 (2011 Q1: £3.4bn), £2.5bn per quarter for the remainder of 2012E would appear eminently attainable, notwithstanding a highly challenging economic outlook, and we should then see modest consensus upgrades. After the grim reality of the 2011 results season where 4 out of 5 UK banks missed market expectations, this would represent something of a rare commodity in the sector! (An extended period of elevated impairments in Spain is already in our numbers and, we believe, in consensus.

one problem ever thing that B DIAMOND has said is crap .and lies
the man is dishonest and since he took the helm the bank as sunk to new lows
and not just the sp . it time for him to be sacked as a fraud

.

mna .is statement i am pleased with our performance well as a holder i am not
the only people getting anything out of this bank over the last 5 years is the
directors . and the SP was 700p now 218p if he is pleased he must be a nutter

and the divs are rubbish .

I will be at the AGM with a lot of other unhappy holders ,

.

I have spoken to barcs who phoned me . and they could NOT answer any of my questions . and said they have never seen any of the board never met any one .
and agreed with my views

.

yes

did you no as holders we do not have much rights to chalenge the board .
so what is cameron and cable telling holders to take action we have no rights
only a vote
