Aviva share price dips, but near-6% dividend talk keeps the FTSE 100 insurer in focus

Aviva share price dips, but near-6% dividend talk keeps the FTSE 100 insurer in focus

Aviva’s shares dipped roughly 0.6% to 659.8 pence by mid-afternoon Thursday, pushing the yield to about 5.6% on trailing dividends. The stock fluctuated between 652.0 and 673.8 pence, still shy of its 52-week peak at 700.6 pence. Investors are eyeing the insurer’s next earnings release, scheduled for March 5. The dividend theme is resurfacing as income-focused investors eye UK blue chips for yields that rival cash and bonds, but without the volatility often seen in smaller stocks.

Lloyds shares are above £1 again — UBS lifts target as investors do the dividend maths

Lloyds shares are above £1 again — UBS lifts target as investors do the dividend maths

Lloyds Banking Group shares climbed 1.8% to 103.25 pence in early London trading Thursday, approaching the upper end of a 52-week range between 60.36p and 103.55p. At 103.25p, the stock is hovering just above the £1 mark—a psychological threshold closely watched for the UK lender. The move comes just a week before Lloyds’ full-year results, scheduled for Jan. 29. Investors will be keenly watching for 2026 guidance and hints about what follows the 2022–26 strategic plan. UBS lifted its price target to 103p from 90p but held firm on a neutral rating, citing uncertainties around growth after 2026 and valuations following the recent rally. UBS projects Lloyds could deliver around 25% year-on-year growth in pre-provision profit by 2026—excluding motor finance remediation costs and before loan-loss charges—driven by about 8% growth in net interest income and modest cost inflation.

British Land’s leasing jump fuels UK dividend hunt as Legal & General’s 8% yield grabs attention

British Land’s leasing jump fuels UK dividend hunt as Legal & General’s 8% yield grabs attention

British Land reported signing 882,000 square feet of leases in the third quarter and stuck to its earnings forecast, highlighting steady demand for London office campuses and retail parks. This matters now as UK income investors return to shares in search of yield, following a period when rising interest rates pushed cash and bonds into the spotlight. Property stocks and insurers find themselves caught in the crosswinds: shifting rate expectations sway their valuations, while dividends tell the tale.

Reckitt buyback update: FTSE 100 group repurchases 49,100 shares as dividend vote looms

Reckitt buyback update: FTSE 100 group repurchases 49,100 shares as dividend vote looms

Reckitt Benckiser announced on Tuesday that it bought back 49,100 ordinary shares of 10 pence each on Jan. 19 at a volume-weighted average price of 6,109.49 pence — a price weighted by trade size — and will keep them in treasury. The company now holds 30,244,310 shares in treasury and controls 671,845,015 voting rights. The routine buyback comes as investors gear up for a shareholder vote later this month on a significant one-off cash return linked to the group’s recent portfolio shuffle. Reckitt has scheduled a general meeting for Jan. 27 to approve a 235 pence per share special dividend alongside a 24-for-25 share consolidation—a move to cut the share count and prevent a price drop after the payout. The company wrapped up the sale of its Essential Home business on Dec. 31, keeping a 30% stake in the new acquisition vehicle. “The completion of the divestment of Essential Home is a major step forward in our strategy,” CEO Kris Licht said then. Shares edged down about 0.2% to 6,102 pence by 0957 GMT Monday, the report noted.
