No facts, just rumours on bids for BT from anywhere, just media gossip.

off topic: Why do wolves/dogs do that circling thing just before they go to the toilet?

Seems like the wolves are circling.

Most of the stocks down due to stop loss trigger. Monday opening should be rebound and most of the stocks will be upper side Good luck

Probably Openreach stake sale in the form of IPO only matter of time...

That why we desperately need an offer which should spark others to make a move.Without someone making an offer for BT will stay at these levels.

Underfunded element last thought to be £8bln and falling

Believe it or not I think the sticking point will be over the Pension Fund and how they are satisfied within any breakup/takeover.

It all depends on the price but without the business being broken up BT will never achieve it's potential valuation.The Government have very limited powers to prevent it's sale unless it was being bought by a potentially hostile power - China, Russia etc clearly that's unlikely.

smurfy: I cant think of any good reason why the royal family would want to keep the crown jewels. Surely makes sense to sell them then just rent them for one day every 50 years when they need to wear them?

[smurfy2001] 28/11/2021 16:37

hades1, why would you sell the crown jewels? Anyway why would the UK government allow critical infrastructure to be sold (assuming they have sense).

Just like Morrisons BT and the telecoms sector as a whole (Vodafone, Telefonica especially) is trading at a large 50%+ discount to the rest of the market - should be seen as defensive but certainly do not trade like this

Expect M&A activity at VOD, BT, TEF

BT must fight and resist this!

As French billionaire stalks Britain's biggest telecoms group, private equity firms size up BT cable arm - sending its value rocketing to £40BN

Sources told the The Mail on Sunday that potential suitors – said to include private equity firms CVC and Apax, and infrastructure investors Brookfield and Macquarie – had run fresh analyses on the value of Openreach that could price the cables division at an eye-watering £40billion.

£40Bn = >400p for Openreach alone

[justiceforthemany] 28/11/2021 09:27

SP massively manipulated by short selling hedge funds. share price >500p in 2016 and not a lot has changed in that time to warrant such a massive decline.

That £40 billion valuation for Openreach alone is almost 2.5 times the market cap of BT as it currently stands - the rest of the company comes for free.

As French billionaire stalks Britain's biggest telecoms group, private equity firms size up BT cable arm - sending its value rocketing to £40BN

Private equity firms and investment funds are sizing up BT's Openreach division as the telecoms giant braces itself for a potential shake-up triggered by its largest shareholder, Patrick Drahi.

Sources told the The Mail on Sunday that potential suitors – said to include private equity firms CVC and Apax, and infrastructure investors Brookfield and Macquarie – had run fresh analyses on the value of Openreach that could price the cables division at an eye-watering £40billion.

Bankers are preparing for a potential bidding war over a possible stake, or even the whole of Openreach, sparked by pressure from Drahi.
