BT - shares drop 19%, on Italian troublesNo recommendationNo news or research item is a personal recommendation to deal. All investments can fall as well as rise in value so you could get back less than you invest.BT shares fell 19% after the group confirmed that write downs in its Italian business have risen from an expected £145m to a total of around £530m. In the same statement, the group also confirmed that the outlook for UK public sector and international corporate markets has deteriorated.Improper accounting resulted in the overstatement of earnings in the Italian business over a number of years. The group has suspended a number of BT Italy's senior management team, who have now left the business. A new chief executive will take charge from 1 February.While trading remains strong in the group's consumer-facing businesses, BT's Business and Public Sector division is coming under pressure. The group expects a double-digit decline in Q4 underlying EBITDA.The group had previously expected underlying revenues to grow, helping adjusted EBITDA to increase to £7.9bn. In line with the above developments, revenues are expected to be flat in both 2016/17 and 2017/18, with adjusted EBITDA expected to be £7.6bn in both years. Around £175m of the decrease in adjusted EBITDA is attributed to the problems in Italy.Normalised free cash flow is set to come in around £500m lower than previous expectations this year and next, at around £2.5bn and £3.1bn respectively. Despite these setbacks, the group remains committed to increasing the dividend by at least 10% in both years.Our viewThere is something of a split developing at BT, with the consumer division racing ahead while the divisions serving the public sector and other businesses splutter.The good news is the group has done a neat job in the consumer facing businesses, transforming itself from a broadband and fixed line business into a provider of 'quad-play' of services by adding mobile through the acquisition of EE and a decent TV package, which includes Premier League football.Offering customers Premier League and Champions League games at no extra cost has worked out nicely for the group. Since BT TV is packaged together with BT Broadband, the group has been able to rapidly grow its customer base and has enjoyed the lion's share of new broadband additions in recent times.With a vast fixed line customer base already in place, the final piece in the jigsaw was the mobile market, and the acquisition of EE gives BT market leadership. With the realistic prospect of bundling all four services together, customer churn could decrease. This would support revenue and earnings visibility, and provide significant cash flows.However, with the problems of improper accounting in Italy and a material slowdown in the Business and Public Sector division, much of the good work is being undone in real time. These issues, combined with BT's substantial debt obligations, mean it's debatable whether any extra cash generated by the consumer business will be returned to shareholders.BT is aiming to grow the dividend by at least 10% this year and next, and the shares currently offer a prospective yield of 4.4%. However, net debt and the pension deficit both stand at over £9.5bn. With more cash likely to be needed to plug the pension shortfall after a review of the funding position later this year, pressure on free cash flow is only likely to increase.

Pick up your P45 on the way out.

Days before!!BT PLC (LON:BT.A) shares are significantly undervalued, according to one leading City bank.The investment arm of Barclays reckons the telco is worth 525p, which is 36% ahead of the current share price.Reiterating its 'overweight' stance, Barclays pointed out BT under-performed the sector 'materially' last year.It also pointed out that regulation 'remains an overhang'. Remember, the company is involved in a stand-off with watchdog Ofcom over how its Openreach arm is governed.Setting that aside, Barclays likes the business's ability to generate cash.While the roll-out of its network of fibre lines might impinge on this, BT would still have financial firepower to deliver 10-15% dividend growth over four years on a compound annual basis, according to Barclays.At 8.30am, the shares were marking time at 385p each. That's around £1 lower than the current consensus price target.Of the 14 brokers logged as following BT, eight are 'buyers' and only two have 'sell' recommendations on the stock. The remainder think BT is fairly valued.Share Ian_55ae0ddd437b7.jpgIan Lyall

He is also saidBT also spooked investors with a cautious trading update in today's announcement, saying "the outlook for UK public sector and international corporate markets has deteriorated."The group added: "For Business and Public Sector, this means we now expect a double-digit year on year percentage decline in Q4 underlying EBITDA adjusted for the acquisition of (mobile phones provider) EE."
