Una,

If the good outweighed the bad for SP, then that would have been the highlight.

Pension deficit has been much worse in previous years.

[younasm] 16/5/2024 06:37

Pension deficit increased substantially:Gross IAS 19 pension deficit of £4.8bn, up from £3.1bn at 31 March 2023 mainly due to the increase in real interest rates and narrowing of credit spreads over the period, partly offset by our scheduled contributions

Pension thingy is eating up the money...debt up profits down...the rest jam tomorrow talk up...

That's his job. He couldn't make it as a trader so they gave him a low paying basher role.

Started off really upbeat and I thought wow until I saw net debt and that horrendous pension deficit which has gotten even worse. A massive millstone round the neck.

You do tend to accentuate the negative don't you!

Cash flow strong, dividends raised, Open reach performing strongly. Capex down.

Not good: Business impairment, debt up.

Anyone in these has to be in for the long term, they are building (like fury!) now to reap benefits in the 2030's. Hence the dividend while we wait.

Not firing all cylinders...

A DIVIDEND INCREASE IS BETTER THAN A SHARE BUYBACK!

[institutional investments] 16/5/2024 06:21

Very poor performance. Whatever the open is, the funds won't be looking at that positively for 1 year forwrds minimum

Pretty sure all in all, real model eps's drop

MM will not give it on a plate . It will be grind upwards. However if it is bad straight down on open. Also monthly option expiry today

Headline start was great and then all I saw were facts that the shorters can easily attack in the coming months

[eaaxs06] 16/5/2024 06:12

Couldn't have put it better myself, Dipso. The figures and divi increase sound great news.

I'm struggling to see how the market can take its (normal) contrarian approach.

Good luck everyone, Sid.

Dividend up by 4% full year to 8p.

[isis] 16/5/2024 06:10

Those are big numbers bandied about but increased cashflow and Dividend will hopefully be enough to excite the market.

[dipso] 16/5/2024 06:05

WOW, Get ready for Liftoff

[action] 15/5/2024 21:52

Result tomorrow.. fingers crossed

[institutional investments] 15/5/2024 16:34

GL tomorrow anyway. May not be about tomorrow at all. Dunno why they are so heavy into financials but hardly just be for that

[institutional investments] 15/5/2024 16:33

[silverstone1] 15/5/2024 13:06

LOW EXPECTATIONS SHOULD LEAD TO BETTER THAN EXPECTED RESULTS!
