JPMorgan reiterates overweight rating on BT Group stock



On Wednesday, JPMorgan analysts reaffirmed their Overweight rating on BT Group (LON:BT) stock, maintaining a price target of £2.86. Currently trading at $1.73, InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is fairly valued. The analysts highlighted several factors contributing to their positive outlook on the company, supported by BT’s strong financial health score of 2.91 (GOOD).

BT Group’s stock has shown a 5.36% increase year-to-date, with an attractive P/E ratio of 7.05 and a substantial dividend yield of 6.85%. Analysts pointed to a series of potential catalysts that could support further growth, including impressive revenue growth of 12.4%. They recently conducted a roadshow in London, which reinforced their belief that the company’s March 2026 guidance is prudent and that trends are expected to improve throughout the year. With earnings scheduled in 5 days, InvestingPro subscribers can access detailed financial forecasts and additional insights.

The analysis also suggested that BT’s retail and wholesale competitors are facing financial distress, potentially leading to significant in-market consolidation. This development could benefit BT Group, offering a competitive advantage in the market.

Additionally, with the normalization of fiber spending, BT Group’s earnings per share and equity free cash flow are expected to grow, providing the company with the opportunity to return up to £10 billion to shareholders over the next six years. This amount represents 60% of the company’s market capitalization.

The analysts see BT’s decade-end equity free cash flow target of £3 billion as conservative, with potential to reach £3.5 billion or even £4 billion under favorable conditions. As a result of these positive factors, BT Group has been added to JPMorgan’s Analyst Focus List, replacing Cellnex.



In other recent news, BT Group Plc has experienced mixed analyst sentiments regarding its stock. Morgan Stanley analysts maintained an Overweight rating with a price target of GBP2.40, despite projecting a 2% revenue decline and flat EBITDA for the current year. They foresee a more promising outlook for FY27, with a 33% surge in free cash flow and a 1% increase in EBITDA. The firm noted BT Group’s progress in expanding fiber connectivity, which is expected to cover 80% of UK homes by March next year, potentially reducing future capital expenditures.

Conversely, Deutsche Bank downgraded BT Group’s stock from Hold to Sell, setting a lower price target of GBP1.40. This decision was influenced by BT’s recent stock performance, which has outpaced the SXKP index, and concerns over intensified market competition. Deutsche Bank highlighted challenges such as line losses at Openreach and limited market recovery potential. The analysts also pointed out that the current share price is 20% above their target, prompting the downgrade. These developments reflect differing perspectives on BT Group’s future amid evolving market conditions.

My only hope is that if the mooted takeover of TalkTalk goes ahead it is done at a price where Sir Charles Dunstone and ToscaFund are well and truly shafted.

Much the same as the shareholders were when the takeover was done some 4 years ago

What effect this will have on BT.A share price I have no idea, I will continue to hold and await for the dust to settle.

Great day, only regret it that I only added 2000 shares early doors. Should have had the faith and bought heavier. C'est la vie.

JPMorgan cuts BT price target to 286 (290) pence - 'overweight'

Clearly they view the results as unacceptable, haha...

Though 286p would do just nicely.

Anyway, this from II:

Among the biggest risers, BT Group staged a significant turnaround over the course of today’s session to maintain the run that has now lifted shares by 17% this year.

The widely held stock returned near the two-year high seen in April as investors eventually warmed to annual results, including reassuring guidance for the current financial year.

BT also pledged to accelerate the full fibre broadband rollout programme, having passed the point of peak capital expenditure in the 2024 financial year. By the end of the decade, the capex figure is set to decline by more than £1 billion from the 2025-26 level.

Bank of America, which lifted its price target by 2p to 210p following the results, said: “BT is 12 months away from free cash flow inflection as network build matures and current dividend growth can accelerate. UK consolidation is an upside optionality.”

BT Group’s Strategic Divestiture: A Telecom Giant’s Bold Pivot to Profitability and Streaming Dominance
Julian West
Sunday, May 18, 2025 6:48 am ET

40min read
The telecom sector is in the midst of a seismic shift. Companies like bt group are redefining their core strategies to focus on high-growth areas, offloading non-core assets that drain capital and distract from profitability. BT’s impending sale of its 50% stake in TNT Sports to Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) epitomizes this transformation—;a move that not only alleviates a £187.5M annual loss but positions BT to dominate its UK telecom heartland. For investors, this is a clarion call to buy BT ahead of its March 2026 deadline, as WBD’s premium streaming ambitions underpin BT’s valuation upside.



The Burden of TNT Sports: A Strategic Divestiture Unveils BT’s True Potential
TNT Sports, a joint venture with WBD, was BT’s ill-fated attempt to leverage sports broadcasting as a lever for broadband growth. Launched in 2022, the venture aimed to lock in subscribers with exclusive Premier League content—a strategy that backfired. Fierce competition from Sky and Amazon’s deep-pocketed bids for sports rights, coupled with rising operational costs, turned TNT into a financial anchor. Its £187.5M pre-tax loss in 2024 alone underscores the futility of this experiment.

By divesting, BT gains two critical advantages: capital reallocation and strategic focus. The UK telecom giant can now redirect resources to its core broadband and mobile businesses, where it holds dominant market share. With CEO Allison Kirkby’s pledge to spin off international operations into a standalone unit, BT is sharpening its focus on its home market—a move that aligns with shareholder demands for higher returns.

WBD’s Acquisition: A Play for Streaming Supremacy
Warner Bros Discovery’s acquisition of BT’s stake is no mere acquisition—it’s a strategic bid to dominate Europe’s streaming landscape. By securing full control of TNT Sports, WBD gains access to exclusive sports rights and infrastructure, which it can integrate into its HBO Max platform. This platform, slated to launch in the UK, Ireland, Italy, and Germany by 2026, will be bolstered by TNT’s content library—a critical differentiator in a market where Netflix and Amazon Prime dominate.

For WBD, this is a low-risk, high-reward bet. The transaction likely closes below BT’s £750M stake valuation, given TNT’s underperformance, but the long-term upside is immense. HBO Max’s European rollout, enhanced by sports content, could attract millions of subscribers, transforming WBD’s streaming business from a cash drain to a profit engine.

Financial Realities: A Catalyst for BT’s Shareholder Value
Analysts forecast BT’s stock to rise to $2.34 in the next 12 months—a 6.69% premium from its current price of $2.19—a figure that understates the true potential. While GF Value’s $1.86 estimate reflects near-term uncertainty, the strategic clarity of this deal could catalyze a re-rating. BT’s core UK telecom business is already profitable, with strong cash flows and minimal debt. Offloading TNT removes a major earnings drag, freeing capital for dividends, share buybacks, or reinvestment in growth areas like 5G and cloud services.

The March 2026 deadline for the stake sale adds urgency. Investors who buy BT now could benefit from a potential premium if the deal closes above current expectations—a possibility if WBD accelerates its timeline, as rumors suggest.

Why Buy BT Now?
This deal is a strategic pivot with three key catalysts:
1. Immediate Earnings Boost: Shedding TNT’s losses will improve BT’s bottom line, likely driving a multiple expansion.
2. Shareholder Returns: Freed capital could fuel buybacks or dividend hikes, appealing to income-focused investors.
3. Long-Term Growth: BT’s core UK telecom business is primed for 5G adoption and enterprise cloud services, with minimal competition in its home market.

WBD Closing Price

Conclusion: BT’s Bold Move Signals Telecom’s Future
BT’s divestiture of TNT Sports is more than a cost-cutting move—it’s a masterclass in strategic focus. By exiting a losing venture and doubling down on its telecom core, BT is positioning itself as a high-margin, cash-generating machine. Meanwhile, WBD’s acquisition underscores the industry’s pivot from traditional broadcasting to streaming—a trend that will amplify BT’s value as WBD’s HBO Max gains traction.

Investors should act now: BT’s stock is undervalued relative to its post-divestiture potential, and the March 2026 deadline is a looming catalyst. This is a rare opportunity to buy a telecom leader at a discount, poised to benefit from both its own operational excellence and WBD’s streaming ambitions. The sell-off is over—BT’s future is bright.

Time to act before the market catches up.

2 Top Stocks in the European Telecoms Sector

While the sector as a whole looks fairly valued, there are still opportunities for investors.


Key Morningstar Metrics for BT Group
Morningstar Rating: ★★★;★
Fair Value Estimate: GBX 190.00
Economic Moat: Narrow
Forward Dividend Yield: 4.97%

Despite pressures in its cost base coming from wage inflation and alternative broadband networks that are stealing lines from it, we believe BT is faring well in a competitive market. First, it’s managing to maintain revenue growth in its consumer division with price increases that offset wage pressure from unions. Second, Openreach is still showing sizable operating leverage, with EBITDA growing at mid- to high single digits thanks to the scale of being the largest network in the country.

BT is also ambitious with its long-term cost plan; it intends to reduce its headcount from 130,000 employees in 2023 to 75,000-90,000 by 2030. We believe cost-cutting is paramount in the no-growth telecommunication industry. We see BT’s dividend as maintainable and believe management has room to steadily grow it in coming years.
