bumper december quarter, page-3

Totally agree this one is a keeper but I don't think there is any connection between the buy back halting and an increased dividend. I still expect div to be around 2.5c per share this year. I further expect the Co to buy back all the shares previously indicated within the 12 month period. Once the buy back is finished then we should see a controlled increase in divs over the following years. I'm not sure why the buy back has sopped I can only think the Co wanting to take some steam out of the share price before recommending.
