Isis, that’s why I’m voting the tories out, how dare they tax the rich whom don’t need to work and enjoy healthy tax breaks! 🤣

I'm of the opinion that we are yet to see the results of his cost cutting/redundancies. He was quite ruthless as far as I'm concerned, which is perhaps what was required. (I recently left the company myself)His downfall was his poor relationship with the unions. In particular the strikes.I think we'll see £2 in 2024.

Why does failure at the highest level reap rewards for this merry go round of CEO's?Outgoing BT boss Jansen approached about being next WPP chair

I think the message is getting louder and clearer, there needs to be some rule changes to get investment going, have been saying this for the past few years!
Even the Guardian are on it!

James Warrington, media correspondent: BT

BT has long laboured with a sluggish share price: its market valuation has barely risen above the £12.5bn it paid for EE back in 2015.

That might be about to change: rising consumer prices and falling interest rates will benefit the former telecoms monopoly in 2024, while the potential for financial difficulties at alt-net broadband rivals raises the prospect of consolidation that would cement its dominance in the market.

At the same time, rising free cash flow and a declining pension deficit have given the company more financial breathing space.

The improved outlook has fuelled speculation that BT could spin off its mobile network EE, which is earmarked as the group’s new flagship brand.

Meanwhile, speculation is still rife that French billionaire Patrick Drahi could launch a takeover attempt after building a 24.5pc stake. After years in the doldrums, 2024 could just be BT’s year.

The FT article points out the challenges facing Alison Kirkby.

Lets hope she can start to turn around the fortunes of BT.

"The Glaswegian, who spent most of the past decade turning around former state-owned telecoms monopolies in Scandinavia, faces the daunting task of trying to restore the FTSE 100 company’s share price, which has fallen around 45 per cent since Jansen took over in February 2019."

If not it could become even more of a takeover target.

"With shares down about 50 per cent over the past five years, Justin Funnell, telecom analyst at Nextgen Research, said the company was “potentially vulnerable to a bid” as it was “at the deepest part of the fibre investment curve and the pension deficit [has been] brought down to manageable levels”. BT in November announced the funding shortfall in its retirement scheme had more than halved to £3.7bn, from £7.98bn three years ago."

Philip Jansen said ""When asked about regrets, he said he was “disappointed . .̴1;. that the share price is where it is”. Ultimately, this is the metric that Kirkby is also likely to be judged on."

Is this the BT thread?...

[rongetsrich] 30/12/2023 17:10

I've PM'd you. I paid for some bits, most are online, you just need to search thoroughly.

[hedgefundkick] 30/12/2023 16:29

Ron,

If you are worried about your offspring losing out then do something about it.

Can you elaborate on this please? It may be something worth doing now rather than post election.

[klotzak] 30/12/2023 15:19

lol, that's a loss.

Ron, keep going! Diku and the net are filtered by most, as said below.

[netcurtains] 30/12/2023 14:21

Pd: don’t worry he has been on filter for a long time. It’s all hidden from my view.

Good point, poorly presented by some faceless illiterate. Swipe on by, cupcake.

[pdosullivan] 30/12/2023 13:52

Suggest you ease off on the pointless belligerence. Life is too short to waste it on being unpleasant to complete strangers on the internet.

What will 2024 have in store for the BT share price?
