Company

Lloyds Banking Group’s share price climbed higher at the end of last month as the bank’s third quarter profits came in ahead of expectations. Statutory profit before tax for the period came in at £1.8 billion when the analyst consensus had been for £1.7 billion. However, while Lloyds’ share price saw a gain from its October 19th year-to-date low of 56.13 pence, up to 59.49 pence early this month, it is still significantly down from its January high of 71.26 pence. That’s a headache for all those investing online in the bank’s shares through ISAs and SIPPs.
