Big trouble ahead it seems, I always said 165p, now I reckon 145p if they lose that case.

Average valuation of 270.50p...always have the price targets higher higher for a Brucie bonus than current price of 172p...name of the game is to keep the 2 way action going for as long as possible...sucker in more PI's



UBS reaffirmed the blue-chip telco as a ‘neutral’; this week, without specifying a target on the BT share price. According to MarketBeat, the blue-chip group currently has a consensus ‘hold’ rating and an average valuation of 270.50p.

While BT Group (LON:BT.A) posted first-quarter results largely in line with expectations, analysts remain concerned whether the telco’s prospects. The company’s share price has also continued its slide in the wake of the update and is about 23 percent down over the past year.

Analysts mull over Q1 results

Aaran Fronda at IG commented in a note this week that BT saw its share price continue its descent in the wake of its first-quarter results. The analyst has pointed to the telco’s pledge to to help the UK government with its plans to roll out superfast fibre broadband throughout the country by 2025, noting, however, that investors were likely “concerned that the plan may put pressure on its dividend to help finance the project”.

Interactive investor’s Keith Bowman meanwhile has noted that the telco’s defensive qualities and cash generation make it appealing to income seekers.

The analyst reckons that the group’s “historic dividend yield of around eight percent (not guaranteed), is highly attractive in the current low interest rate environment, but dividend cover of 1.6 times earnings is down from the 3-year average of 1.8 times, adding to current investor nerves”.

George Salmon at Hargreaves Lansdown also weighed in on BT in the wake of the results, noting that the shares offered “a prospective yield of 7.6%, so BT doesn’t need to offer much dividend growth”.

“The question is, can it sustain that payment these next few years, and then find a route to growth down the line?,” the analyst added.

Analyst ratings update

UBS reaffirmed the blue-chip telco as a ‘neutral’; this week, without specifying a target on the BT share price. According to MarketBeat, the blue-chip group currently has a consensus ‘hold’ rating and an average valuation of 270.50p.

Barclays meanwhile sees the company as an ‘equal weight,’ arguing that while BT’s valuation provides a compelling argument to buy the shares, the company’s consumer division is under pressure and there is uncertainty over the planned roll out of fibre broadband.

More pearls of wisdom from Udik...

[diku] 09/8/2019 10:14

Once ex divi it tends to lose 5 - 8% more over the coming weeks...dead money for a while...

[diku] 09/8/2019 10:13

Yes all too often the divi and more gets taken back in a round about way...VOD
they slammed it down to multi year lows to 120p...how many thought that when it was trading around 200p...the board probably knows the threshold amount the div cut should be...a progressive cut has to come from a very low level...algos take over and the share price goes on a reset mode...

That idiot been on my filter for years

[optomistic] 08/8/2019 17:20

buywell has long since been on my filter list!

[toon1966] 08/8/2019 16:53

"...buywell does not like..." pretty much sum's buywell up!!

[buywell3] 08/8/2019 16:20

See it's that little kick back up to 260p from 200p that buywell does not like

Sets up a 50% retrace IMO to the 130p area on bad news coming IMO

[buywell3] 08/8/2019 16:18

Possible 125p IMO if the USA DJIA breaks below 20,000

Even 99p if the DJIA drops to 18,000 next year

VOD cut their dividend and surprise, surprise the share price is Up,
BT chose not to go down this route, but instead rack up further debt
and the share price has been hammered.

You can't fool the market. The market is looking at dividend sustainability,
not the size of the payout.
