Your dividend guide for Q3 2024

Forecasts aren't a reliable indicator of future performance

The FTSE 100 has largely remained flat since hitting an all-time high in May 2023, with concerns about global economic conditions, particularly in the US, China, and Germany, weighing on investor sentiment.   

While dividend payments and buybacks remain strong, with an expected £131.5 billion returned to shareholders in 2024, the concentration of dividend growth among a few large companies and declining profit forecasts pose potential risks for future payouts.
