Bt Share Discussion Threads

BT are doing the job of covering BB across the Country. Corbyn mooted privatisation but we all know he was a bit of a Nutter.
There's no need and it's too costly when it's being done anyway. BB could be given away free and paid for by Government but can't see it myself.

I personally don't think Starmer will be nationalising anything, let alone BT. It's pretty impossible to do now anyway.

Our thoughts turn to fearing what labour will do to BT.
Scary that they could find a way to control companies without nationalisation.

We have to write off the inept Tories, even their strongest supporters are sick of the mess they have left.
Some of it, post Brexit, is this migration shambles where freedom of movement within the EU has been replaced massively by immigration from developing countries.
To think that many voted Brexit to control our borders.

Irreversible, we have lost our National Identity, there is no such thing as British Characteristics anymore.
Many would argue this rich diversity of race or religion is a good thing.

But we can be sure of a Labour victory for many other reasons. How will this effect BT.
What should we do about it?

Goldmans upped their target and added 'Conviction Buy' whilst UBS who've never been a fan see's value at BT at 115p!! lol


UBS said the shares face several risks/overhangs", listing them as Virgin Media O2 "possibly revisiting M&A discussions with TalkTalk", Sky shifting some of its wholesale broadband business away from Openreach, new CEO Allison Kirkby potentially accelerating the existing strategy with the result of a dividend cut, the 24.5% stake by Altice "may now be more of an overhang than an element of support", and finally that the Labour Party is "reportedly looking to remove mid-contract price rises for consumers and indexation at Openreach".

The Swiss bank reiterated its 'sell' rating and 115p share price target.

Over at Goldman Sachs, the telecoms team have taken a much brighter view, hiking their target price to 290p from 280p.

They still have to spend/find the 75% though, but at least it is costing less in real terms so better than a poke in the eye. Slowing down the spend might be a good thing to cap the debt mountain.

25% government tax break on each 1 million capital investment. If BT invest 100 million in fiber broadband 25 million gov tax break. Now this tax breaks are pemanent. Pension deficit will be paid by tax breaks. cheap. DYOR.

Offsetting Corporation tax with 100% expensing for capital investment, now permanent, must be worth huge amounts to BT because of the huge investment in fast fibre.

Last time it went up to 130p

Business taxation
A tax break allowing companies to reduce their tax by up to 25p for every £1 they spend on plant and machinery has been made permanent. The move, which had been due to come to an end in April 2026, will cost £10 billion a year. It has been billed by the chancellor as the biggest tax cut for businesses in modern British history.

Shares are just returning to a price not long ago 🤷

[isis] 22/11/2023 13:23

Starmer is not Corbyn and probably not any worse than Rishi and the Tories have been.
It is a given the Tories will be out. Done and dusted.

[boix] 22/11/2023 13:20

BT up because of the Budget - re changes in tax relief on company investment.

[stansmith1] 22/11/2023 12:48

sky would be the limit were it not for a labour govt on the horizon, free broadband for scroungers, capped prices, place your bets
