  • Lloyds Shares Set for Dividend Growth Heading into 2026 ISA Season
    April 12, 2026, 3:08 AM EDT. Lloyds Banking Group shares have rebounded by about 5% recently, reinforcing its role as a key FTSE 100 stock and steady dividend payer. The bank currently offers a full-year dividend of 3.65p, with analysts projecting increases to 4.25p in 2026, 5p in 2027, and 5.36p by 2028. This progression suggests a forward yield near 5.24%, supported by earnings per share forecast rising from 6.9p to 13.28p by 2028, keeping payout ratio under 50%. Share price targets average 118.6p, implying potential total returns above 20% in the next year. However, risks persist from economic slowdown, loan defaults, and regulatory pressures following a recent motor finance scandal. Despite challenges, Lloyds remains a foundational income stock for UK investors, ideally balanced with diversified holdings.
