Quick question. I pay max amount weekly £23.07, roughly £93 every 4 weeks. Just checked my account for the first time and saw that this month I only got 17 shares. Currently at £2.70. Did the maths and should have been 33 shares. Checked the breakdown and it says that each share was purchased at 558p per share.
What am I missing or not understanding?

Hi All


How many partnership shares ,are purchased on average each month for Royal mail.

And wouldn't that push the price up on the 15th of each month, Whilst purchasing.

Thanks in advance

The amount of shares purchased in the share scheme are dwarfed by the
numbers purchased by the stock exchange big hitters and so wouldn't affect the share price.
Low millions of shares traded every day.

Where on the employee share website should I see the partnership and matching shares. I started a month ago so thought some would be bought this Month but I've just checked the site and can't see where it shows how many you've bought.

The price of the shares has barely changed in the past month but notice how we got 10 fewer shares in July, just before they went ex-dividend on the 28th.

You are looking at July 2021 the share price has halved in the past year, I too got 17 that month.
So far the highest number we've received in a month is 92 that was in March 2020 and the fewest was 15 in June 2021. Plus of course 2 bonus shares each month.

Quick September update;

37 shares purchased @ £2.51 per £100 gross/monthly investment.

The investment yesterday was £93.03 and this afternoon the value is £82.28.

It is even lower today. It seems that on average the price slumps after the partnership share buying...

More the case that the shares always rise slightly in the lead up to the 15th of each month.

The big boys and market manipulators can't bare the thought of humble posties getting value for money on their monthly share purchase so they always pump the price up a bit for the 15th of each month.
