CLIG’s interim results are ahead of its trading update, published on 20 January, as average FUM was higher than we had expected, enabling revenue, profit and cashflow to beat our expectations for the first half. Confident in our forecasts for the years to June 2025 and 2026, we maintain our expectation of a 33p full year dividend. CLIG, cum-11p interim DPS, is trading on a 9.3% yield.
Ahead of interims scheduled for Tuesday 25 February, we adjust our forecasts following CLIG’s Preclose update and US dollar movements. As a reminder, CLIG reports its results in US dollars. Our forecast EPS and DPS, which are quoted in pence per share remain unchanged.
