Each quarter, AJ Bell takes the forecasts for the FTSE 100 companies from all the leading city analysts and aggregates them to provide the dividend outlook for each company.
This report tracks the revised aggregate dividend forecasts alongside unveiled plans for £27 billion in cash returns via share buybacks for FTSE 100 companies so far in 2024. It also looks at how profits are still set to reach an all-time high despite an increasingly murky economic picture.
