BT needs to cut back on its farcical expenditure on football rights, from what I understand viewing figures have dropped off, or viewers are moving to separate platforms, some which I have heard are free, just showing highlights, This trend is also replicated in the United States NFL

23/10 RBC Capitol Markets reiterated 'outperform' rating with price target of £4.10, 24/10 Numis reiterated 'buy' rating with price target of £3.90.

Can't see where any good news will come from - so I am resolved to the strong possibility (not certainty) that the share price will take a serious tumble next week. BT is hated at the moment, so sentiment can't do much to mitigate the negative impact of poor financial performance or other operational difficulties i.e. pensions.

If the update is horrific....GP's position is untenable !

The Monday morning bulls came in punting for the update, hoping for a relief rally in the shareprice. This could go either way, 285p or 265p.

[kmann] 24/10/2017 08:34

Remind me, what caused the sell off from the 2nd week in August? Thanks

[kmann] 23/10/2017 22:47

What kind of block sizes are you guys trading?

5 year lows possible on horrific update, otherwise 325-380p this-next year

[kazoom] 23/10/2017 21:11

This btw - now gives me the lead on Shanieboy who bought back in at 280 earlier in the month.

easy money ;-)

You can hope for such winner31 - and indeed the share price is higher than it was 6 days ago (but not yet a week) for the first time in a while.

However you only have to look back to September when it last looked as though the chart might be bottoming out, but that was about 3% higher than now.

On a fundamentals basis, something seriously bad (and new) would have to come out to justify the share price being this low or lower; but on a sentiment basis, I can't really see any reason yet to conclude this is a bottom.

Nevertheless I took another chunk in the short term trading section of my portfolio today.

I will not pretend (although some would) that it was in those very few minutes when the price apparently spiked down to 271.

[winner31] 23/10/2017 20:15

Hopefully we've seen the bottom

Do we detect a softening attitude of HMG towards regulated utilities.
May's energy cap hostility is fading, as is Ofcoms aggressive attitude to BT.

The regulated utilities, apart from exceptions such as Thames Water, have done a great job in upgrading the UK's creaking infrastructure.
To do this they have accumulated massive debts in return for a modest return on assets for the owners and risk takers, the shareholders.
This has created jobs and growth. They were privatised so that they could do this as efficiently as possible.

Hopefully, BT with its huge potential, can recover strongly over the next couple of years.
HMG should not let Corbyn dictate the agenda.

About time ofcom got a telling off!
No company can afford to invest off its own back and be expected to just give away its product so others can profit as well.
Also, if you want a better product than you have now you should expect to pay more for it for goodness sake.
Ofcom wants everything for nothing, it can't happen. And don't get me started on the leaches that are Sky and TT....grrr

Dr Biotech - you may think BT paid far too much for the UK Champions League rights but they're not the only one's... hxxps://technology.ihs.com/592044/sfr-and-altice-score-european-football-rights-in-france - they're paying 350M Euros a season. I believe Sky have the rights in Germany and Italy.

[dr biotech] 23/10/2017 08:44

Perhaps 270 is the floor? Will be interesting to see how many watch the champions league with the 5 English teams looking good for the knockout stage. Still paid far too much for the rights though.

Article link from the Telegraph on Karen Bradley support

[18bells] 23/10/2017 07:45

What's wrong with the pricing this morning on all stocks???? Showing a Friday and today trade with same units.

[scemer] 22/10/2017 22:29

Nice to see Karen Bradey helping ofcom try see some sence!

[careful] 22/10/2017 16:51

Todays Sunday Times article about Gavin and his possible future survival with the new chairman is broadly positive.
Jan du Pleasis seems to be very highly regarded.
Maybe BT can recover from this bad spell that has seen its share price almost half.

[smurfy2001] 21/10/2017 12:53

Well that's nice of them free speed boost.

[toon1966] 21/10/2017 07:58

Which? now laying the boot in, see article on broadband dissatisfaction

[essentialinvestor] 20/10/2017 19:26

I watched PMQ's live on the day Cameron shouted at Jeremy to resign,
Corbyn looked utterly dead and burried politically.
The Labour resurgence since is beyond remarkable.


The scale of today's mobile contract story should be clearer by Monday?

[stewart64] 20/10/2017 18:32

Careful...no chance of putting Corbyn in a box. And be sure houses in Islington and seven figure public sector final salary packages will have special dispensation from tax come his day, he can then get stuck in to the 'wealth extractors' who invest in Equity leaving them to the crumbs off his Metro elite table.
