Bt Share Discussion Threads

Quite a fall now, off 10% since the start of December, FTSE down nearly 3% in the same period.

I'd have thought there'd be more buyers at this level, perhaps the fear of the clowns in Downing Street leading us into a recession is keeping investors away.

Worst two performers in my holdings today, BT and VOD.

Why is the price reducing ahead of the ex divi date - it just shows the unimportance of the dividend, the company might as well cut it and do something more useful with the money.

https://newsroom.bt.com/bt-group-leans-on-ai-to-transform-customer-service-experience/Small insight into some of the ways in which we can see how BT can reduce headcount as planned- already a 50% success rate in AI/BOT solving EE customer queries and planned to roll out to the wider group. Suspect we will see more of this as time goes on, helping us shed significant cost and boost free cash flow.

We are fast approaching an ex dividend date. Why is the price reducing when a reduction of 2p a share is on offer?

Barclays cuts BT Group to 'equal weight' - price target 190 pence
Bank of America raises BT Group price target to 208 (205) pence - 'buy'

Still a way to go to reach either of them...

Come January BT will have a policy where all staff are expected to be in the office 3 days per week. Currently it is a philosophy but it is changing.

[smurfy2001] 09/12/2024 12:41

Like many companies, BT’s office requirements have changed over recent years as the business world has moved to allow staff to work from home more.

Openreach have just reduced there wages bill as 500 staff have now been paid off and left the company..............

[fundamentals23] 05/12/2024 09:24

IMO the Vodafone merger almost solidifies BTs position in the UK. We're beyond the CAPEX peak now for our roll out- VOD is at the start of theirs now. Vodafone's challenge is their German market. Fingers crossed but BT looks favourable.

[netcurtains] 05/12/2024 07:52

It could imply BT can merge or sell Open Reach ? (if VOD can BT can)

Could be an UP day - but I no idea really. See how it goes. Depends if VOD goes up.

[onehanded] 05/12/2024 07:49

A big threat coming, could be a plan to buy Vod shares as well. lol

[netcurtains] 05/12/2024 07:41

How will the Vodafone news affect BT?

Columbia Threadneedle buys BT

Columbia Threadneedle’s David Moss has returned to BT (BT) as evidence grows that the telecoms giant is changing for the better.

Moss added the Citywire Elite Companies AA-rated stock to his £123m CT UK High Income (CHI) investment trust in November.

He said it has been ‘many years since the trust has owned BT as it continually disappointed and found new ways to miss profit forecasts’.

However, Moss has had a change of heart given that BT is turning the ship around ‘with a run of better-than-expected results, an impressive new chief executive, and competition from alternative providers lessening as they struggle to keep rolling out their network as finance costs have risen with higher interest rates’.

Moss said as other investors remain ‘sceptical’ of BT’s prospects, the valuation ‘remains attractive’.

‘With a dividend yield above 5% and forecast to grow, we believed it prudent to start a position,’ he said.

As I thought, could trade 155 to 161 for a while

[netcurtains] 02/12/2024 21:53

Probably not - at least by my software
