It's openreach

Calling Jenny Tulwought...

Do you work in a part of BT/Openreach that deals with the local loop? Do you know anything about the roll out of the new NTE5 C socket to consumer premises?

If not, can you suggest how I could best approach BT management in connection with this. I am not a BT customer.

TIA

BT signing up new customers at an enormous rate with their latest offers.

Hold this level then 27th Jan 3rd quarter figures, if good, straight through 400p.

[montyhedge] 12/1/2017 08:02

Might see 385p before another go at 400p. We have had a great run.

[montyhedge] 11/1/2017 17:41

50p rise over the weeks, might be resistance at 400p and some of profit taking tomorrow.

[excell1] 11/1/2017 15:23

Depends monty on if we get an RNS before results.........

[montyhedge] 11/1/2017 15:04

May not break 400p until 27th Jan if results decent, we have had a 50p rise last few weeks. So can't complain.

[montyhedge] 11/1/2017 14:54

Broker tips: BT, Thomas Cook, TUI, Burberry
Wed, 11 January 2017

(ShareCast News) - BT Group got a lift on Wednesday as Morgan Stanley upgraded its stance on the stock to 'overweight' from 'equalweight' and bumped up the price target to 490p from 450p.
It noted the shares have underperformed the FTSE 100 by a disappointing 41 percentage points in the last 12 months, providing a good entry opportunity.

The bank pointed to three reasons why it expects a better share price performance this year: better operational news flow ahead, gilt yields coming off their lows - which is good for pensions - and a compelling valuation.

MS said its AlphaWise survey indicates further strong quarters ahead for BT with market share wins in broadband and TV and rising average revenue per user. In addition, it sees further success in BT Mobile, driven by the recent push into family SIMs and the Enterprise market.

It also said that full legal separation of Openreach is unlikely to play out given the higher pension costs it could trigger.

As far as yields are concerned, it noted AA UK corporate bond yields have bounced from a low of less than 2% in early September to 2.7% currently, which is positive for BT's pension due to a lower present value of liabilities.

On valuation, it highlighted the fact that BT is trading at a 16% discount to the median UK stock from almost parity in late 2015/early 2016.

[christh] 11/1/2017 10:34

[younasm] 11/1/2017 10:29

BT Global Sevices is what I meant in previous post....

[younasm] 11/1/2017 10:25

Don't forget BT provide managed IT services --- a division that was making losses until a few years ago and turned around to profitability.

I think posting anything that is relevant to BT is important!
BT Sport does not rely only on subscriptions but on ad hoc sport fans who pay to view these sporting events.

BT Sport has been developed and has become a brand and everything comes at a cost but
is a success and making good money for the company.
BT is now a versatile company, not just a communications company!

From telecoms to broadcasting, broadband to data,mobile to fibre to the premises,
research and development, pay to view etc.

BT is a growth company and it will grow year upon year with new products added to its portfolio.
BT share price is justified to be 560p and maybe 700p-800p in 2 years time or longer depending on the economy in the UK after Brexit!

Good old Morgan Stanley, I'm now less than 10% down on my BT holding! Should I be celebrating this?

[toon1966] 11/1/2017 10:03

Christh - I take it when you say 'good revenue' you are referring to the revenue from the subscriptions to BT Sport? Remember BT has paid out huge sums of money to the Premier League, the FA and UEFA for the rights to televise these matches. Individual football matches will not pay for my dividend, the overall success of the BT Group will. I don't think there is any need to post details of matches BT Sport are televising on this forum.

And here we are back knocking on the £4 door... GLA HOLDERS

[montyhedge] 11/1/2017 09:53

Christh - why are posting details of football matches on this forum?

The football matches are a great success for BT Sport which will be screening them.
They are great matches and is good revenue for BT as a whole.
They are not football matches but business for BT.
BT Sport is a succesful business venture for BT and any sporting event that is succesful will pay for your BT dividend.
