Weekend Press Review: Warning sign for dividend yield investors?' DCC: storming in the FTSE



In today’s Weekend Press Review with Tony Cross from Monk Communications, we discuss the recent stories on Berkeley’s record high dividend, DCC’s entry into the FTSE, HSBC’s stand on pensions, and the Anglo American dividend cut.

Berkeley hits record high on dividend boost

Speaking on Berkeley’s investment boost, Cross believes that the dividend situation is going to see a change ahead, which would also change the obsession with dividend policies.

DCC: blast from the past

Cross highlights the new entrant into the FTSE, DCC, noting that the conglomerate is a distribution network which buys smaller distributors and has seen total returns of 650% over the past 10 years versus 80% on the FTSE. Adding on DCC, Cross says that the good cash flow and the tight control on costs makes the outlook for the company as positive.
