Anyone buying or folks staying out or short?

Pearson have issued five profit warnings in four years, but I get your point. For those wanting GP to fall on his sword, John Fallon at Pearson has overseen all five.....

If profit warnings come in threes, could those who posted this please supply examples and explain why BT should be a further example?

Thought not...

Is Italy such a big thing in the overall picture, multi national blue chip play, good cash earner, divi is around 4%+ I think, should be safe. Should blow over in a few weeks, buy when others are fearful, seems to work well for most, as long as you are not expecting short term profits.

If the divi was just held for the next 2 years that would be a result imv,
a fat yield at the current share price on a held dividend.

Listening to CNBC, even at a yield right now of 10%, they could the dividend to yield 6%, right now that would still be a good payout at the current price, if you are in why sell now, for new investors this could be a steal!

Market euphoria is somehow connected with accounting irregularities...Tesco mark2...

[bookbroker] 24/1/2017 09:08

It is not a profits warning per se, it is the discovery of an accounting irregularity based on over-stating profits, but they are kitchen sinking the job!

Not quite sure how you research a set of cooked books without being actually involved.

Somewhere there's an Italian accountant being horse whipped. Mama mia

hold tight here we go again.....................

Following brokers views is usually a quick way to the poorhouse,
they can change their mind in a blink of an eye, usually better to DYOR imv.

[diku] 24/1/2017 09:03

Within the next few days broker downgrades with revised price targets coming...

[hash tag thegrimreaper] 24/1/2017 09:02

Oh they knew all right Ikey

Guys - lets look at some numbers.
- The RNS says approx impact on EBITDA for 2016/17 is EBITDA £7.6bn
- broker forecast before this news was EBITDA expectation £7.9bn (Morning Star)

So that's a net drop of 4% EBITDA due to the Italian job.

So is the likely impact on net profits and eps likely to be -18%, which is the share price price drop as we speak?

IMO there is a lot of panic selling going on. I have a cast iron rule not to catch a falling knife (though the temptation is huge in this case)

And there is always the concern that this may not be the end of it in terms of bad news.

Please do your own maths and this is just my opinion

Dunno but decided to have a few for the long term pension pot, seems decent entry sub 310p

Foreign predators looking for cheap U.K. Assets with £ this low, & a low share price . could take a look here?

[montyhedge] 24/1/2017 09:01

I'm here been posting since 7.50am. Don't touch profit warnings seem to come in threes this is the first one.

[diku] 24/1/2017 09:00

There was more to it hence the share price weakness late last year...those specials in the know knew it...

[diku] 24/1/2017 08:58

I have been saying all along....ban these broker share recommendations across the Plc casinos markets...what is the agenda it serves no purpose at all...it is to some extent a mis selling...call it PPI mark2 or mark 3....

[careful] 24/1/2017 08:57

so they have been overstating profits/cash flow for years.
over £600m.
Are these worth buying today?

[diku] 24/1/2017 08:55

I am looking for monty...where is he lurking?...

[ny boy] 24/1/2017 08:53

Don't you just love those pesky brokers, this month, 3 as a buy & one overweight with price targets between 400-560p and only 1 had them as a sell, another stunning performance from the knowledgeable ones.
