We’ll be looking back on this decision in 9-12 months and saying it was the right thing to do.

A master stroke by Jansen and du Plessis.

Better Bt put up sale sign to be merge and taken over. Very sad ..

Did management cancel their bonuses and pay rises? Will worth to know.

Or preparing warchest against new joint force of O2 and Virgin. But they have no chance to win this battle as they do not have deep pockets like liberty.

net debt has risen to 18 Billion pounds

17,969M 11,035M


buywell can see the COE taking a chunk of these to keep them going

50p on market weakness is my call

IMO dyor

tactically sound not to annoy the regulator in these times.
Boris and his big plans for broadband are being achieved by BT.

if they have used HMG furrow scheme they will be expected to cancel the divi as others have.
It looks bad to reward investors when so many are struggling and worried.

Only Amazon and Tesla can make zero profit invest for the future and see their shares rise.

Right to cancel divi.

[qs99] 07/5/2020 07:42

not good IMO, but let's see how market takes it. IMO this is a pension fund wrapped up with a bit of a business on it....zero divi, makes you wonder why buy quite frankly....DYOR

[diku] 07/5/2020 07:39

monty...I told you on the divi...who is no;1?...

[montyhedge] 07/5/2020 07:38

EBTIDA nearly 8 billion, free cash flow over 2 billion, no dividend don't get it.

[milliethedog] 07/5/2020 07:37

Liberty Global, Telefonica agree $38 billion merger of UK businesses

[montyhedge] 07/5/2020 07:35

What do you reckon guessed boys 85p open.

[dipso] 07/5/2020 07:35

Stop panicking everyone!
The share price is already down to half it was at last years results.
The bad news is already buit in.

[keith95] 07/5/2020 07:34

"EBTIDA just under 8 billion superb, but no dividend, can’t work that one out."

People will have cancelled sporting packages .... while the ongoing cost is?

[milliethedog] 07/5/2020 07:34

IMB next to cut imo.......

[montyhedge] 07/5/2020 07:34

Funny enough figures were good, no dividend, surprised. Unless they got a bid lined up for someone.

[eaaxs06] 07/5/2020 07:33

The only good news I can see from those figures is the talk of diverting the dividend money into establishing a FTTP and 5G network, then embarking on a 5 year modernisation programme.

I can’t see that will save the share price at 8 O’clock.

[careful] 07/5/2020 07:32

no divi.

But eps 17.35p
pre tax profit £2.353 bn.
cost control programme.

Investing for the future big time.
If it falls today we should fill our boots for the long term.

Stupidly cheap.

[tornado12] 07/5/2020 07:31

This will drop 10% , but not sure I will buy more when other shares more lucrative for next 2 yrs. in any case I have a decent holding in BT and when divi restarts (maybe) gives me 5% return. I do think medium term BT will transform but need at least these 2 yrs to make it happen.

[wskill] 07/5/2020 07:27

Something has to be done about this idiotic managment being given free money( our money) for this disgraceful action one of the very few business that covid 19 will have very little effect on ,and these incompetent nincompoops'fail to pay a dividend .

they should be removed from office as soon as possible they are as good at running a company as a chocolate fire guard is at shielding you from a fire.

[sr2day] 07/5/2020 07:27

think it will test 103p again today.

[montyhedge] 07/5/2020 07:26

EBTIDA just under 8 billion superb, but no dividend, can't work that one out.

[unastubbs] 07/5/2020 07:26

this has probably been done with a view to getting some kind of assistance from HMG. business rates relief for example or a less stringent regulatory framework perhaps. paying a dividend simultaneously would have been politically impossible. long term investors (who don't need the income today or next year) will be ok here. i might even buy more if we go under £1.

might...

[dipso] 07/5/2020 07:22

The bad news is already in the SP
