    What service/website/platform are you using to see that?
    An error for some reason but why I've no idea as HL and other services I've looked at shows the right price.

    Ah, is it from google? I've just done a google of lloyds price and it shows the price you're seeing at the top of their results from their google finance pages.
    --------- further edit ------
    https://www.londonstockexchange.com/stock/LLOY/lloyds-banking-group-plc/company-page shows an off book trade at 18:08:08 of 4,824.50 GBX, so perhaps there might have been a fat finger error somewhere ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat-finger_error ), if so then some trader somewhere might be having a rather bad night..

    Yeah just google!

     I checked on my tv red button text service thingy and it’s like that there too...

     very odd 😮

    Found this on another site:-


    "GBX 4,824.50
    9,745.92%
    +4,775.50 Today this is google finance on lloyds sp nearly had a heart attack lol"

    It's real lol, just checked London Stock exchange. There's a trade showing:

    Date Time Price Currency Volume Trade Value Trade type Trade flag
    21.09.22 18:08 4,824.50 GBX . . . . 4,000,000 192,980,000.00 Off-Book P

    4 million shares purchased at more than £48 a share.

  • Early trading Lloyds was down, as of now 10am it's up 1.50%.

    By close of day it will be down again you watch. Like I said this is a day traders dream share. For the long term amateur invester this is a solid buy in my opinion especially for the dividend hunters.











  • Lloyds is up 100% in 2 years, if one was lucky enough to catch it in lockdown.

    Hate to say I said so, but I said so. Down -1.04% end of the day. It will get there, but by god it’s makes hard work of it.
