Opening calls what do you reckon,85p ?

Oh dear.But not all bad news...investing in future is good for shareholders too. Markets do often surprise us all with response to announcements too. Any serious dip this morning will be met with serious buying too IMO. Keep calm and keep the faith is what I'll be doing.BT Board are taking the gifted opportunity to rebalance dividend policy and to be fair this type of announcement has been in the majority these past 6 weeks. Very brave to state new intentions on dividend going forwards. No point dwelling on it : long term BT are still a screaming buy and we may yet see a relief factor pushing us forwards once market has digested this RNS. DYOR please and GLA.

It will be hammered

Follows a lot of corporate trends we have seen for divi cut and suspensions. It’s been a gruelling year for us divi investors. Mine are cut by 50% and that really hurts. A good learning point for the future that’s it’s so easy to lose your income when a catastrophic event like crono closed the world markets for at least 6 months.

The results are bad anyway

Amaretto BT’s share price has been performing poorly for a few years now, so can’t blame divi suspension. Will be interesting to see how market reacts.

Virgin Media and O2 seal £31bn merger
The broadband network and mobile phone company will form Britain's biggest telecoms provider with more customers than BT

It's a disaster for income investors

[leadersoffice] 07/5/2020 07:19

Shocking news

[unastubbs] 07/5/2020 07:18

i agree owenga, these will get beaten down today and over the next month or so...but then will be the time to buy for the long term. in my view the cut is good news for the company, bad news for me as an income investor...

[montyhedge] 07/5/2020 07:17

Free cash flow over 2 billion and they don't pay a dividend, strange.I thought 50% cut.

[dipso] 07/5/2020 07:17

Mobile operator O2 and broadband giant Virgin Media are to merge, creating one of the country's largest entertainment and telecoms firms
The tie-up will create a major rival to BT.

Could go under £1 today, but then good long term investment to hold. That would still be 7.7% future yield.

VOD will be following

[amaretto1] 07/5/2020 07:15

I said it was going to be cancelled ... but could not foresee this Incredible

[amaretto1] 07/5/2020 07:14

The results on it's own ... are not good... read them

[eaaxs06] 07/5/2020 07:13

I've said before it's a bit 'all or nothing' with BT's dividend policy.

But I don't think anyone expected that, dividend cancelled for 2 years.

Of all the guesses I've seen on message boards, no-one got remotely close to that one.

[smurfy2001] 07/5/2020 07:12

Kind of expected in line with many companies.

[amaretto1] 07/5/2020 07:09

Not good at allThat's the reason poor share price performance

[keith95] 07/5/2020 07:06

... and divi cut to 7.7p going forwards.

[eaaxs06] 07/5/2020 07:05

Oh heck, I didn't expect that.

No final, and 20/21 suspended.

I can't see the market liking that.

[montyhedge] 07/5/2020 07:03

No dividend.
