195p my forecast for BT, after Lloyd's lost pension rights case yesterday regarding equal pension rights for women, could cost other companies big time with large pensions.

Classic.

Good figures, they should have waited until these figures to sack Gavin Paterson.

Get up there............. go BT!

[dr biotech] 01/11/2018 07:42

Forward guidance which is often the key driver is slightly up (ie higher end of guidance). Not expecting a big movement either way...

[nerja] 01/11/2018 07:41

eaaxs06 got me on that one , they have put it at 4.62p, clear as mud

Making all the right noises regarding rollout of faster broadband speed and the focus on delivery. In the semi rural areas, and that includes all the new green field developments, you have no choice apart from using BT as they are the only ones with the infrastructure. I think the money men will like the growth forecast for EBITDA.

However, my personal experience of requesting a new 20mb+ broadband service from BT is not great. At the begining of this week sales promised my site survey would be completed by today only to be told this morning the survey date has been pushed back by OpenReach to 7/12. Also the house marked as being in a post code that is supported by Ultrafast broadband but I've been told they can't provide more than 24mb. In summary there is a huge gap between the marketing hype and reality, and the investers know this.

int divi 4.62 was 4.85.
4.7% down.

looks mixed.
cash flow down.
eps up
debt up.

not a disaster.
now we will see what the new CEO and chairman can do.

wonder what the pension deficit is.

[eaaxs06] 01/11/2018 07:25

The dividend isn't down, nerja, it's just this wacky, mad-cap idea they have for paying 30% of the previous years total dividend, as a new interim payment.

2017/18 yearly total 15.4p.......... 30% of 15.4p = 4.62p


EDIT: typo

[nerja] 01/11/2018 07:20

Revenue down
Debt up
Dividend down
Profit up

mixed bag but looks a down day to me

[holly1000] 01/11/2018 07:17

Ebitda up 2% Global starting to do better .

[chapchip] 31/10/2018 14:28

hhm..could claw back to level by close

[wendsworth] 31/10/2018 12:38

eaaxs06 : Let's hope you're right. Have just bought in . NEVER been a holder of this stock previously . Mine wasn't the 1.million purchase ...either !

[eaaxs06] 31/10/2018 11:46

Tomorrow could be too late, Action, buy some today in the mid 230's.

[action] 31/10/2018 11:29

ex-Divi date in Dec18. Watching for any weakness tomorrow to buy back in time for divi.

[eaaxs06] 31/10/2018 11:26

Chapchip – it’s always good to dream some times, it brightens my day up.

Toon – I’m glad to hear it gave you a smile, let’s hope we’re all laughing tomorrow.

Eodfire – I bought at 237, 235 and 233, but no, I wasn’t the 1m buyer, and my pockets aren’t that deep.

Joking apart, I’m still hopeful of good figures tomorrow. I thought the Q1 financial report wasn’t as well received as it should have been, with good progress made. I see no reason why that improvement shouldn’t have been maintained for the half year.

Get in quick folks, only another 5 hours to get in under 250p, buy now or regret it forever. (I bet that caused another titter, toon)

Good luck everyone.

[toon1966] 31/10/2018 11:09

No doubt someone on BT's board is engaged in some 'insider' trading.....

[eodfire] 31/10/2018 11:05

Whoever just bought 1m shares has probably got an idea about what's in results?

[toon1966] 31/10/2018 11:04

eaaxs comment did make me smile! share price very volatile at present!1

[eodfire] 31/10/2018 11:03

Nice 1m buy just in.

[chapchip] 31/10/2018 10:58

eaaxs....£2.50 by tomorrow is a pipe dream

[veryniceperson] 31/10/2018 10:42

Or someone has seen the figures !

[mbmiah] 31/10/2018 10:35

Quite a steep drop before results. Maybe somebody wants shares.

[eaaxs06] 31/10/2018 10:30

.......... and some more at just under 235.

[ernieshoe] 31/10/2018 10:21

Agree "careful"
Add Royal Mail and WPP as recent newbies doing same

[eaaxs06] 31/10/2018 10:09

First top-up buy of the day triggered at 237, have more limits set at 235, 233 and 227.

Looking for 250+ by this time tomorrow.

Good luck everyone.
