Re: Results "I guess the drop is because no dividend was proposed at this stage," - I totally agree!"because otherwise the results appear ok to me." - "OK" means the business has shrunk in both size and risk? This is a business that Bill Winters is Still having to downsize, "I'm in this for growth over the medium to long term, having recently bought in, so not disappointed about the dividend." - Where are you planning on getting this "growth" from? StanChart is a shrinking and de-risking business. IMHO the only SP growth may come from a takeover, the sector is constrained by too-big-to-fail constituents and therefore consolidation isn't modish."I'd rather they keep building the Tier 1 ratio and profits for reinvestment."- The higher the T1 the lower the profitability in the sector. StanChart isn't a growing business. it's jettisoning "assets" to de-risk.Background : I held SC from 12 Jan 2011 to 15 Dec 2016 and have spent Hours reading and thinking about the business. In the 5+ years of my holding I succeeded in losing 44% of my capital. This business is, at best, a Trading Stock. As things stand, a long term Investor in SC is paying for the exuberance of a previous era. At <£6.50 though I may take a speculate "punt". Better businesses exist than this to invest in for the longer term!! For the record, I currently hold a 21 stock portfolio, viz: - AZN - 2%, BP - 5%, BATS - 4%, BLND - 4%, CCH - 2%, DGE - 7%, G4S - 4%, GSK - 5%, HSBA - 6%, IMB - 5%, INCH - 6%, IHG - 2%, JLT - 5%, RB - 2%, REL - 5%, RR - 5%, RDSB - 7%, SN - 5%, ULVR - 8%, VOD - 5% & WPP - 8%. All, thus far, paying Dividends and none going through the sort of restructuring I'd be paying for as a longer term holder of StanChart!! DYOR & GLA!!YW.

Re: Results It's very interesting and TA has worked shortish-term, but to me the fundamentals look strong for a longer term position.

Results I guess the drop is because no dividend was proposed at this stage, because otherwise the results appear ok to me. I'm in this for growth over the medium to long term, having recently bought in, so not disappointed about the dividend. I'd rather they keep building the Tier 1 ratio and profits for reinvestment.

Goldman Sachs From ADVFN:"Goldman Sachs stuck to a 'buy' recommendation on StanChart and 'sell' on Lloyds and Barclays after adjusting its earnings estimates for the sector to reflect recent market developments and ahead of the release of the Financial Policy Committee's Financial Stability Report on 27 June.StanChart continued to be the UK-listed lender most exposed to the interest rate cycle in the US, Goldman explained.Furthermore, it enjoyed a "strong" capital position which may allow for the resumption of dividends as soon as with its next set of interims.Lloyds on the other hand was most at risk from heightened competition in the domestic UK mortgage market."We believe that current valuation levels do not reflect future margin headwinds."Continued capital building at Barclays meanwhile was expected to drive a more muted outlook for dividend and profitability.Regarding the upcoming release of the FSR, Goldman reminded clients that the FPC had already flagged an increase in lenders' counter-cyclical capital buffers.Nonetheless, the expected increase from 0.0% to 0.5% was likely to be muted, Goldman said, as the Bank of England was expected to remove overlapping aspects of Pillar 2."
