INVESTING SHOW: Where investors can profit in the dividend recovery- the firms bringing back payouts for shareholders
After slashing payouts as the Covid crisis hit, companies are now bringing back their dividends.
Dividends from UK-listed firms jumped a 51.2 per cent to £25.7bn between March and June, according to the latest UK Dividend Monitor from Link Group.
This beat its expectations but the total payout remains a sixth below its pre-pandemic average levels.
Mining and banking accounted for two-thirds of the increase, according to the report, while the oil sector acted as a brake.
However, oil big guns Shell and BP are keen to lure investors back in with payouts and for those hunting income, the FTSE is making something of a return.
On this episode of the Investing Show Simon Lambert and Richard Hunter discuss which firms and sectors are returning to rewarding investors.
