Weir Group (WEIR) shares are looking attractive at 2364p on technical grounds but with little support by way of book to price values. However, this share still has a faithfully bullish following with the majority of brokers still making the shares a strong buy.

Concur 100% with your Weir Group analysis. Very good. But why no mention of the dividend yield and the history of same?
Robert Sutherland Smith
Stuart Elliott asks why there is no dividend information on Weir Group shares? Partly a matter of deadline meeting and partly a matter of thinking it not significant enough. The running historic dividend payout of 38p produces a dividend yield of 1.5%. However it has grown strongly over recent years. The dividend payout is estimated to grow 10% and 11% this year and next tp produce estimated forward yields of 1.8% and 2%: well below the current FTSE 100 dividend yield of 3.65%
