Is the volumes on ADVFN for real or the LSE feed not working...has anybody seen such low volumes for BT?...must be the first...

[diku] 23/7/2024 07:35

All these upkeep, maintenance, upgrades costs money despites endless restructuring they do...but if you gonna give away free texts, minutes, data and sundries the system will get over loaded and stressed...

I dont think it was so much the fine but rather they were responsible for 999 phone calls not working for 24 hours...
If you think about it, that was probably a near national disaster...

[diku] 23/7/2024 07:23

Unfinished business at 160p and 180p?...

[diku] 22/7/2024 17:54

Any bad news used to send it in a tail spin

[jubberjim] 22/7/2024 06:57

Swings and roundabouts

Both here and Vodafone

On the one hand BT.A Gets a slap on the wrist and a fine for 999 failures

But then Vodafone announces sale of an asset to bring in more funds

As you were staying long but staying out

At least until the Biden announcement has been digested both here and abroad.

How about PI's shareholders use their BT shares/stake as collateral to get a credit line from banks?...

BT Earnings: Investors Welcome Medium-Term Outlook; Maintaining Fair Value Estimate
Although BT’s full-year results fell short of consensus expectations, the market welcomed increased medium-term free cash flow guidance and shares climbed 9% in early trading on May 16. BT expects “normalized221; free cash flow of GBP 1.5 billion, GBP 2.0 billion, and GBP 3.0 billion in fiscal 2025, 2027, and 2030, respectively, compared with GBP 1.3 billion this year. The increase will come from lower capital expenditure once Openreach’s fiber-to-the-home rollout nears completion as well as strong cost reductions, given BT plans to reduce its staff from 120,000 currently to 75,000-90,000 by the end of the decade. The board also approved a 3.9% dividend increase to GBX 8 per share, which we see as maintainable with the possibility of growing in the future. We maintain our GBX 200 fair value estimate, and shares remain undervalued.

BT is handling its circumstances diligently. Although the firm has reduced the number of employees by an impressive 10,000 roles this year, this hasn't resulted in lower labor expenses given continuous pressure from unions. According to the UK Communication Workers Union, most of BT’s employees have received overall raises of between 5.8% and 9.65% this year, which fully offsets the 7.7% reduction in staff. Wage pressure should moderate during the next five years as inflation keeps normalizing (UK inflation was 3.2% in March), meaning BT’s staff reductions should outpace wage increases in the long term, supporting BT’s ambition of consistently growing EBITDA and free cash flow until 2030.

BT’s consumer and Openreach divisions were once again holding up the firm, with 9% and 2% year-over-year growth in EBITDA in the fourth quarter, respectively. Openreach’s EBITDA was hit by a one-off commercial dispute cost, so we surmise EBITDA growth would have been in the low double digits excluding this expense, in line with prior quarters. Group EBITDA grew by 1% for the full year with the business division being the main detractor.

Drahi’s Altice raised more than £1bn margin loan against BT stake



The company’s borrowing against its £3.5bn stock position raises questions around whether Drahi can maintain the BT stake for the long term

Is the outage good for BT in that smaller providers (like BT) will be promoted as the issue might be due to Microsoft/Amazons monopoly ?

[davius] 19/7/2024 08:17

Isn't that an indicator of how much a share is being traded?

[diku] 19/7/2024 07:34

BT has shown up in the buzz indicator...where is this buzz indicator?...

[socionomics] 17/7/2024 13:34

And there's the pop! See you at 150p mi amigas.

[diku] 17/7/2024 13:26

Look at the header chart period from around Mar/April 2023...spike from 140p to 160p...

[socionomics] 17/7/2024 13:22

It's gonna pop! Time to buy before the 25th.

[socionomics] 17/7/2024 13:19

Spread is too tight to take any notice of buy/sell predictions. Look at the chart. Pushing up against resistance. It will crack and we'll hit 150p soon.

[diku] 17/7/2024 13:18

On the cusp of 140p breakout?...
