Doesn't it give him more leverage to trade both ways now...lend shares to short/long?...in the process make money whilst sitting on stake...

[diku] 14/12/2021 08:59

So now he has bought more stake the market don't want him to be in profit so mark it all down again...

Do the government still hold a Golden share in BT or was that cancelled years ago?

[diku] 14/12/2021 08:58

That is a possible which I have mentioned here in the past...he might just be the facilitator...

He can still buy more shares just can’t launch a bid, but one of his friends can when he has got to his 29.9%

Maybe BT can now concentrate on satisfying the needs of everyone else including the other long standing shareholders now they have a confirmation re takeover.

I’m with my learned friend Nige Co on this one – Drahi isn’t a billionaire for nothing, I’m sure he’s far cleverer than any of us and knows exactly what he’s doing, even if buying a share at 178p one day and seeing them trade at 166p the next doesn’t look like it at first glance.

He’s obvious seen the potential in BT and made a substantial financial investment in their stock, he doesn’t have to make a bid to make good money here.

It’s interesting he’s pushed his stake up to 18%, as it now makes Deutsche Telecom’s 12% stake even more important. That could well be his next purchase, keeping it just under 30% so he isn’t forced to make a full bid.

For those doubters, try not to worry unnecessarily, forget the daily price moves and check back in a couple of month’s time, there are interesting times ahead.

Good luck everyone, Sid.

nigewhy?the declaration will stave off the govt intervention and reduce the share price so more can be acquired..win winnothing is really off the table after the declaration? in any case this is a multi year project, the same traders who sold at 110 are trading again today and they will be trading again at 350p...you can do worse than be in a year before a billionaire...

[careful] 14/12/2021 08:48

they will bid if someone else bids.
the big 2 shareholders now how 30%.

interesting.

This makes a mockery of doing your own research. What's the point?

[arja] 14/12/2021 08:42

BT Slips 5% After Patrick Drahi Raises Stake to 18%
12/14/2021 | 08:25am GMT


(MT Newswires) -- (Updates company's share price movement)

Patrick Drahi's Altice UK on Tuesday confirmed that it has no intention to make a takeover offer for BT Group (BT.A.L) after raising its stake to 18% in the British telecommunications giant from 12.1%.

The statement follows Altice UK's acquisition of an additional 585,476,188 shares in BT.

Drahi noted that it remains in constructive discussions with the board and management of BT regarding the group's strategy to expand access to a full fiber broadband network.

Separately, BT said its board and management will continue to run the business "in the interest of all shareholders," with a focus on implementing its strategy.

BT shares declined more than 5% on Tuesday's open.

No one understands it SAJ that’s what makes it interesting

[1224saj] 14/12/2021 08:37

So he buys another 6% of the company, stock goes down 5% Great buying opportunity, I bet he's buying more this morning. My only ignorance is how has he moved the market in his favour. I thought I understood investing in equities, clearly not ?

[csmwssk12hu] 14/12/2021 08:36

It’s the same idiots selling in the first hour that buy an aim stock when it’s marked up 50% at open after it says it’s found a fart in a whoopee cushion over a length of 3km 1500m down

[arja] 14/12/2021 08:35

chart support at 153 and might be worst case scenario

[eaaxs06] 14/12/2021 08:35

It's probably because Digital secretary Nadine Dorries has called in BT chief exec Philip Jansen to discuss its potential takeover by the French-Israeli billionaire, Patrick Drahi, this coming week.

That probably implies the UK government and OFCOM would block any takeover approach.

Good luck everyone, Sid.

No bid by Alice. Hence down

[arja] 14/12/2021 08:34

I thought there was a government announcement and probably no chance of a t/o !

[nige co] 14/12/2021 08:33

There are 18% less BT shares in the market and the shares fall 5%.... CRAZY.

[younasm] 14/12/2021 08:32

Stake building should increase share price, but I guess the market was expecting more bid rumours - no sign of that for today !!Price should be heading towards 200p for New Year

[csmwssk12hu] 14/12/2021 08:31

U.K. heard foreigner wants to build big stake in company so bent over and said how much cheaper do you want it for
