Posted at 15/6/2025 15:20 by waldron BT CEO warns AI could trigger layoffs beyond planned 40,000By Akash Pandey NEWSBYTESAPPS.COM Jun 15, 2025 12:25 pm BT Group's CEO Allison Kirkby has hinted that the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to even more job cuts in the company. The Financial Times reported her as saying that the current plan to cut over 40,000 jobs by 2030 and save £3 billion ($4 billion) in costs does not fully account for AI's potential impact on workforce requirements. Future implications Kirkby says AI could make BT 'even smaller' Kirkby said, "Depending on what we learn from AI... there may be an opportunity for BT to be even smaller by the end of the decade." This statement hints at a future where AI could lead to further job cuts and possibly even a reduction in the size of the company itself. Back in 2023, BT had announced plans to cut as many as 55,000 jobs, including contractors, by 2030. The then-CEO Philip Jansen had said that the company would rely on a much smaller workforce and significantly reduced cost base by the end of the decade. Kirkby, who took over from Jansen last year, has also hinted at a possible future spin-off of Openreach, the company's network infrastructure business. Kirkby has said that the value of Openreach is not reflected in BT's share price. If this continues, she said, "We would absolutely have to look at options." Despite the challenges in its business and consumer units, BT recently reported strong demand for fiber broadband and over £900 million in cost savings. This helped boost its full-year earnings and cash flow. BT Group, formerly known as British Telecom, is a London-based British multinational telecommunications holding company. As the UK's leading provider of fixed-line, broadband, and mobile services, it also offers TV and IT solutions. Serving over 30 million customers, BT reported £20.4 billion in revenue for the year ending March 2025. |
Posted at 11/6/2025 11:11 by freddie01 JPMorgan reiterates overweight rating on BT Group stockOn Wednesday, JPMorgan analysts reaffirmed their Overweight rating on BT Group (LON:BT) stock, maintaining a price target of £2.86. Currently trading at $1.73, InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is fairly valued. The analysts highlighted several factors contributing to their positive outlook on the company, supported by BT’s strong financial health score of 2.91 (GOOD). BT Group’s stock has shown a 5.36% increase year-to-date, with an attractive P/E ratio of 7.05 and a substantial dividend yield of 6.85%. Analysts pointed to a series of potential catalysts that could support further growth, including impressive revenue growth of 12.4%. They recently conducted a roadshow in London, which reinforced their belief that the company’s March 2026 guidance is prudent and that trends are expected to improve throughout the year. With earnings scheduled in 5 days, InvestingPro subscribers can access detailed financial forecasts and additional insights. The analysis also suggested that BT’s retail and wholesale competitors are facing financial distress, potentially leading to significant in-market consolidation. This development could benefit BT Group, offering a competitive advantage in the market. Additionally, with the normalization of fiber spending, BT Group’s earnings per share and equity free cash flow are expected to grow, providing the company with the opportunity to return up to £10 billion to shareholders over the next six years. This amount represents 60% of the company’s market capitalization. The analysts see BT’s decade-end equity free cash flow target of £3 billion as conservative, with potential to reach £3.5 billion or even £4 billion under favorable conditions. As a result of these positive factors, BT Group has been added to JPMorgan’s Analyst Focus List, replacing Cellnex. In other recent news, BT Group Plc has experienced mixed analyst sentiments regarding its stock. Morgan Stanley analysts maintained an Overweight rating with a price target of GBP2.40, despite projecting a 2% revenue decline and flat EBITDA for the current year. They foresee a more promising outlook for FY27, with a 33% surge in free cash flow and a 1% increase in EBITDA. The firm noted BT Group’s progress in expanding fiber connectivity, which is expected to cover 80% of UK homes by March next year, potentially reducing future capital expenditures. Conversely, Deutsche Bank downgraded BT Group’s stock from Hold to Sell, setting a lower price target of GBP1.40. This decision was influenced by BT’s recent stock performance, which has outpaced the SXKP index, and concerns over intensified market competition. Deutsche Bank highlighted challenges such as line losses at Openreach and limited market recovery potential. The analysts also pointed out that the current share price is 20% above their target, prompting the downgrade. These developments reflect differing perspectives on BT Group’s future amid evolving market conditions. This article was generated with the support of AI and reviewed by an editor.

Posted at 30/5/2025 07:19 by freddie01 BT CEO Talks Shrinking UK Broadband Market Share and Future of AltnetsThe CEO of ISP Zen Internet, Richard Tang, has today shared a new interview with the CEO of BT Group, Allison Kirkby, which touches on everything from how they’d “love to” participate in the future consolidation of alternative networks (but not for a while) and the way that building a more valuable asset via FTTP broadband may compensate for having a smaller UK market share. In case anybody has been living under a rock for the past few years. The BT Group is currently, via network access provider Openreach, investing up to £15bn on rolling out a new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premise The BT Group is currently “investing £4.8bn this year, and we did that last year as well,” said Allison, before adding that a “large chunk of that is in the fibre upgrade” via Openreach. This is all in service of helping to create a “new asset for the next 40-50 years.” But despite building at an incredible rate of over 1 million premises passed per quarter, and growing take-up to 36% at the same time, Openreach is still rapidly losing broadband lines to a new generation of rival networks. Openreach lost 707,000 such lines to rivals in 2024 and line losses reached 243k in just the last quarter to March 2025 (here), although most of these tend to come from the areas where Openreach have yet to build their new FTTP network (i.e. areas on their slower copper-based lines, where rivals may have built something better before them). Hence, the need to build ever faster. However, Allison said she recognises that, in the future, “we’ll have a smaller market share, but it’ll be a more valuable modern-day asset that delivers a much better customer experience … even with that lower market share” (i.e. cheaper to operate, better experience and more loyal customers = better product that she says will still get a return on their investment). But equally, BT’s boss noted that they’ve still “got to be competitive, rather than just accept that every line we can lose forever“. Allison pointed out that the company itself is similarly having to evolve with the market. “BT needs to transform. We need to be a more modern day, more nimble company that moves faster … We were about half the productivity of our peers .. that’s what we had to address,” which she said is coming through various stages of modernisation (inc. copper retirement, redundancies, significant fault reduction within their Openreach network etc.). BT’s CEO also expects Ofcom to deregulate as the market evolves. “My retail businesses do not have monopolistic, you know, incumbent market share positions. I’ve got just under 30% retail market share in mobile, I’ve got about 35% broadband market share in retail. It’s only in the wholesale business of Openreach where we had the 75% market share. But in the future there are now two, sometimes three, providers of fibre access and so over time those areas should definitely be deregulated.. is my view,” said Allison. Ofcom has already indicated that any big changes on this front may have to wait until 2031 or later The interview then moved to focus on the often-tedious question of consolidation, particularly with respect to the markets many alternative broadband networks. “It’s pretty clear that it will not make sense for the UK to served by a hundred different fibre providers in the future. I don’t think it would be necessarily good for the country’s resilience and not all of those providers will make an economic return on their investment, it’s just not going to happen, it’s a very competitive market,” said Allison. Most industry folk would probably agree that more consolidation is inevitable, although they might not agree with how BT’s CEO sees things ending up. “The way it’s playing out over here, I think there will only be one nationwide wholesaler in the end. So I think large parts of Openreach will probably stay regulated. I think there will be one, possibly two, other alternative wholesalers across the country, but they might not be everywhere. And then you’ll have a concentration around the city areas with some of the alternative networks, but there will need to be consolidation,&rdquo However, Allison notes that consolidation is currently going slower than she expected, which she attributes to a lot of investment having already gone into the ground and high value expectations of those assets, which she thinks are “unlikely to materialise“. BT’s boss said altnets need to get more realistic about the value of their networks, which she believes will “start to play out in the next 2-5 years.. but I think we will be in to the next decade before we really see the end state” of this market. On the subject of consolidation and whether the BT Group might get directly involved, Allison noted that Openreach is “not planning to build everywhere” itself (i.e. their target is up to 30m by 2030, but that still leaves c.4 million) and “there will definitely be partnership opportunities in the future, but it’s not here at the moment” (i.e. they’re focused on their own Openreach fibre build for now). “In terms of participating in consolidation, we’d love to. I think it’s problematic at the moment, certainly in wholesale … [yet] priority is not making acquisitions, for the moment“. But clearly there’s a hint that Openreach may look to acquire some rival networks, albeit seemingly only those that cover those in the final c.4m of hardest to reach premises (there’s not likely to be many of those and some, like B4RN, are community benefit societies that cannot easily be acquired). Finally, on the subject of the BT Group’s dramatic 50% increase in share price over the past year or so, Allison explains that this is more about how they’ve given the market a clearer roadmap: “BT’s share price is very much linked to the free cashflow that it throws off. When we were throwing off £3bn in cash our share price was about £3, when we were at peak investment phase on fibre and were throwing off about £1bn we were about £1.” Allison explained how she “inherited a guidance to the market” that BT Group were going to get back to the £3bn mark by the end of the decade, but the market “wasn’t giving them any credit” for that. So she “mapped out how they were going to grow” to that target, showing the market a path that it could then give them credit for as progress is made (i.e. in fibre build, company modernisation etc.). The full interview doesn’t contain any earth-shattering revelations, but it does offer a unique insight into the group’s strategy and that’s relevant for many of those in our wider readership – including consumers, retail ISPs and physical network operators alike. |
Posted at 22/5/2025 17:32 by davius Great day, only regret it that I only added 2000 shares early doors. Should have had the faith and bought heavier. C'est la vie.JPMorgan cuts BT price target to 286 (290) pence - 'overweight' Clearly they view the results as unacceptable, haha... Though 286p would do just nicely. Anyway, this from II: Among the biggest risers, BT Group staged a significant turnaround over the course of today’s session to maintain the run that has now lifted shares by 17% this year. The widely held stock returned near the two-year high seen in April as investors eventually warmed to annual results, including reassuring guidance for the current financial year. BT also pledged to accelerate the full fibre broadband rollout programme, having passed the point of peak capital expenditure in the 2024 financial year. By the end of the decade, the capex figure is set to decline by more than £1 billion from the 2025-26 level. Bank of America, which lifted its price target by 2p to 210p following the results, said: “BT is 12 months away from free cash flow inflection as network build matures and current dividend growth can accelerate. UK consolidation is an upside optionality.” |

Companies like bt group are redefining their core strategies to focus on high-growth areas, offloading non-core assets that drain capital and distract from profitability. BT’s impending sale of its 50% stake in TNT Sports to Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) epitomizes this transformation— The Burden of TNT Sports: A Strategic Divestiture Unveils BT’s True Potential TNT Sports, a joint venture with WBD, was BT’s ill-fated attempt to leverage sports broadcasting as a lever for broadband growth. Launched in 2022, the venture aimed to lock in subscribers with exclusive Premier League content—a strategy that backfired. Fierce competition from Sky and Amazon’s deep-pocketed bids for sports rights, coupled with rising operational costs, turned TNT into a financial anchor. Its £187.5M pre-tax loss in 2024 alone underscores the futility of this experiment. By divesting, BT gains two critical advantages: capital reallocation and strategic focus. The UK telecom giant can now redirect resources to its core broadband and mobile businesses, where it holds dominant market share. With CEO Allison Kirkby’s pledge to spin off international operations into a standalone unit, BT is sharpening its focus on its home market—a move that aligns with shareholder demands for higher returns. WBD’s Acquisition: A Play for Streaming Supremacy Warner Bros Discovery’s acquisition of BT’s stake is no mere acquisition—it For WBD, this is a low-risk, high-reward bet. The transaction likely closes below BT’s £750M stake valuation, given TNT’s underperformance, but the long-term upside is immense. HBO Max’s European rollout, enhanced by sports content, could attract millions of subscribers, transforming WBD’s streaming business from a cash drain to a profit engine. Financial Realities: A Catalyst for BT’s Shareholder Value Analysts forecast BT’s stock to rise to $2.34 in the next 12 months—a 6.69% premium from its current price of $2.19—a figure that understates the true potential. While GF Value’s $1.86 estimate reflects near-term uncertainty, the strategic clarity of this deal could catalyze a re-rating. BT’s core UK telecom business is already profitable, with strong cash flows and minimal debt. Offloading TNT removes a major earnings drag, freeing capital for dividends, share buybacks, or reinvestment in growth areas like 5G and cloud services. The March 2026 deadline for the stake sale adds urgency. Investors who buy BT now could benefit from a potential premium if the deal closes above current expectations—a possibility if WBD accelerates its timeline, as rumors suggest. Why Buy BT Now? This deal is a strategic pivot with three key catalysts: 1. Immediate Earnings Boost: Shedding TNT’s losses will improve BT’s bottom line, likely driving a multiple expansion. 2. Shareholder Returns: Freed capital could fuel buybacks or dividend hikes, appealing to income-focused investors. 3. Long-Term Growth: BT’s core UK telecom business is primed for 5G adoption and enterprise cloud services, with minimal competition in its home market. WBD Closing Price Conclusion: BT’s Bold Move Signals Telecom’s Future BT’s divestiture of TNT Sports is more than a cost-cutting move—it’ Investors should act now: BT’s stock is undervalued relative to its post-divestiture potential, and the March 2026 deadline is a looming catalyst. This is a rare opportunity to buy a telecom leader at a discount, poised to benefit from both its own operational excellence and WBD’s streaming ambitions. The sell-off is over—BT’ Time to act before the market catches up. |

Posted at 19/3/2025 10:46 by freddie01 BT Group share price hits key level: can it surge to 200p?BT Group stock price has rallied to a key resistance level. The company's business is doing well as the management executes a turnaround. Technicals suggest that the BT share price may jump to 200p soon. BT Group share price has done well this year, mirroring the performance of other popular UK stocks like Lloyds and Rolls-Royce. It jumped to a high of 162.90p on Tuesday, a key resistance where it has failed to move above in the past. It has jumped by almost 70% from its lowest point in 2024. BT Group’s business is doing well in a tough market BT Group, the parent company of EE and OpenReach, is doing well at a time when the British economy is slowing. Data released last week showed that the UK economy shrunk in January as consumer spending and business environment remained muted. BT Group’s business does well when the UK economy is thriving because it is one of the biggest telecom firms in the country. The most recent half-year results showed that BT Group’s revenue dropped by 3% to £10.1 billion. Its profit after tax dropped from £844 million to £755 million, while the earnings per share dropped to 7.5p. Most of BT Group’s slowdown is coming from its business brand, whose sales dropped by 6% to £3.86 billion. This business was formed by merging BT Global and its enterprise units. It created a single B2B unit where customers would get products like connectivity, networking and cloud, phone and mobile, and security services. BT Group’s consumer segment started to stabilize in the year’s first half, with its revenue falling by 1% to £4.83 billion. The management continues on a turnaround strategy focused on five pillars. It aims to grow the reach of its OpenReach business, gain consumer growth, digitize most of its operations, and optimize the portfolio and capital allocation. As part of the turnaround efforts, BT Group has announced plans to lay off thousands of workers in the next few years. It hopes to replace some of these workers with artificial intelligence tools. BT share price has also done well as the management insists that it will achieve its target. Its guidance is that the annual revenue will be down by between 1 and 2%, the adjusted EBITDA will be about £8.2 billion and capital expenditure will be less than £4.8 billion. BT Group share price has also done well because of its dividends. It declared a 2.4 pence per share in the last results and maintained that it will have a progressive policy that grows the payout each year. The weekly chart shows that the BT share price has been in a slow uptrend in the past few months. It has jumped from last year’s low of 100p to a high of 161.20p, a notable level since it was the highest point in 2021, 2022, and 2023. BT Group has formed an ascending triangle pattern, a popular continuation sign. It has moved above all moving averages, and most recently, it formed a golden cross pattern as the 50-week and 200-week moving averages crossed each other. Oscillators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the MACD have continued rising, a sign that it is gaining momentum. Therefore, the stock will likely keep soaring as bulls target the key resistance level at 200p. This price is both a psychological point and the highest level in 2018. It is about 25% above the current level. |
