DMF - sub 350 is looking likely now for poor old BT. Re Sky, the fact the Virgin Media deal announcement today gave BT a kick in the nuts is symbolic of both BT's weakness and BSY's strength in the market.BSY has so many irons in the fire right now that the drop on today's news should not concern any holders.Now, for BT and it's suitably feeble, suitably thick, friendless no mark rep Rodney, there are no irons in the fire and a lot of concern for holders.Well, unless they're Rodney . . . but the wee man hasn't got two brain cells to rub together!

Down 2.59% in the States.

Separately, analysts at Credit Suisse reiterated an "underperform" rating on shares of British Sky Broadcasting Group plc in a research note on Tuesday, May 6th. They now have a GBX 600 ($10.11) price target on the stock.

Any intelligent comment on the above?

[pierre oreilly] 12/5/2014 22:03

Rodney?

Sheesh, isn't there anybody here who doesn't act and think like a child?

[dmf] 12/5/2014 21:34

Rodney - I would suggest you spend your energy on focusing on your BT holdings - perhaps you have not noticed the downward momentum is accelerating - are you averaging down ?

I am still awaiting sub 350 for BT which may be a reasonable entry point, although 325 would be preferable !!

British Sky Broadcasting Group plc (LON:BSY)'s stock had its "reduce" rating reaffirmed by stock analysts at Investec in a report issued on Monday, ARN reports. They currently have a GBX 825 ($13.90) target price on the stock. Investec's price objective would indicate a potential downside of 7.30% from the company's current price.

This is just to bump Rodney's weird thread back down.

[pierre oreilly] 12/5/2014 17:04

I think HSBC could be proved correct with their 600p price target sooner rather than later. I'd expect a rapid drop to that once the price support buybacks stop - either when the authority for them runs out, or the cash runs out.

The 246p target from the OP may be some months after the HSBC's 600p target is hit.

As for today, don't see anything meaningful in the market moving the share price down. BSY holders should be wondering where all the moves in the past few months and today's 'early talk' story fits in to the football rights future.Have a suspicion that this is building to a plan to own Premier League rights outright, freezing other providers out?

[albany30] 12/5/2014 16:39

Undervalued PLEASE, as a clearly sane poster, PLEASE stop feeding the Rodney. He is an utterly clueless, friendless void of letters - nobody else interacts with him so do us all a favour and filter him.

[pierre oreilly] 12/5/2014 10:19

uva. There is rarely a single reason for doing anything.

Things are rarely black or white.

[undervaluedassets] 12/5/2014 10:06

So they are buying SKYD as a smokescreen Pierre ? yeah right....

Blimey Pierre...

Murdoch Said to Seek $14 Billion Deal to Merge Pay-TV Units

[undervaluedassets] 08/5/2014 14:09

Yeah that is why shares in Amazon have performed so miserably - because their turnover keeps going up.

BARB numbers out . very strong numbers for sky.

BT tv... well no one is watching it.

[pierre oreilly] 08/5/2014 10:44

uva, yeah, b t results were good and met the high expectations. Not sure why you are still backing the wrong horse.

Sky are offering a now commodity product, hence turnover rising while profits fall. Surely you know turnover is vanity and profits are sanity? It's only a strange shareholder love for sky which keeps you from making a rational decision.

Bt's turnover is static on the year (up over 3 months) due to BTs history. It is still adjusting from being the Post Office with a monopoly on landlines - all the landline turnover had to go to the comp[etition (that's how the government introduced competition into the tele4coms market). BT's turnover had to fall for many years - but that is now coming to an end, with landline calls becoming less important (to every player). The key (as always) is profits, and BT's p[rofits are up (as always, just as the City likes), and the divi is also hiked based on those enduring profit rises. Sky's t/o is up but profits down, divi up loads (do you really think that's justified for sky? Really?) It's your money mate, but I think you can see where bt are heading and where sky are heading (once the daily buybacks stop distorting ther price). FFS it's pretty obvious, staring you in the face even, and I think you know it. (The one or two loons on here won't though)

BT results today for the full year.

Lets be fair they were good (might even buy some - nice yield)

But their stated aim of increasing top line growth just ain't happening.

Revenues were flat. (and in the last quarter going back slightly)

Revenue for Bt was £20 billion in 2000 and is £18 billion today.

Revenue for sky was £1.8 billion in 2000 and is set to top £7.5 billion at the next full year.

I think I know which company I prefer as a growth story.

The focus on football has been because the costs (eg £760m deal to show Premier League football) have made a dent in the profits.

[undervaluedassets] 02/5/2014 10:42

I wonder if everyone is still focussing on the football?

This company is about so much more than football.

42 million different services sold up from 35 million a year ago.

New revenue coming on stream all the time.

BT competition threat brushed off by pay-tv firm BSkyB as it adds 74,000 new customers in third quarter
