Selling at £1.21, highly likely at a loss??Could then buy back in at £1.10, yes, I get that. But logic is now out of the window, bt now at £1.04??

Most of the country will be working from home, everyone wants fibre their companies will pay for it, need it for teleconferencing. Rather be in BT than airlines.

Cash maybe the only choice then bt has plenty to worry about

oil has dropped over 50% last 12 months because of consumption, now the covid has kicked in so you really think that demand is going to increase? there's recession on the cards so oil can continue to slump. BP isn't the right choice

bp is my only buy now stock.

A 30% cut is already expected by the market for 2021 (source: Stockopedia) and that was before this crisis. So I would expect a further cutting of the dividend....and frankly given the market....looking to buy into a dividend seems crazy...as all bets are off given the world shock going on...That said...yes this is probably a more defensive stock....but it will still likely fall further....so not buying in might be an appropriate strategy..depending on your own risk profile and your own research ofc....

This share closely correlates with dividend, but expectation is a divi cut due to pensions.

Pensions shortfall massive increase due to stock market shock, but might have a slight improvement in liabilities. The shortfall from the stock market far more significant so expect a divi cut.

Whats the dividend yield at current share price? 15%?

Forgive me for my nativity, but with the surge of people working from home in the next few months, and the shift in companies attitude working from home and internet based meetings post Coronavirus does this not make BT a defensive play?

no, the market is saturated so limited uplift for broadband packages, and possible compensation as the backbone crumbles with increased bandwdith.


With regards to refunding customers for sports packages, one would assume that BT in return gets a refund for the airing rights the purchased?

Yes, they should get a refund but subject to contract. The contract with people is a different kettle of fish.

Not good. The idea is you buy the rights and sell the viewing for a profit. refunds mean a reduction in profit, even if they get a refund from the sport clubs.

BT lines up former Kingfisher chief Cheshire to join board
The FTSE-100 telecoms giant could announce Sir Ian Cheshire’s appointment to its board this week, Sky News understands.
Sir Ian Cheshire, the former boss of DIY retailer Kingfisher, is being lined up to take a senior post on the board of BT Group, Britain’s biggest telecoms company.

Sky News has learnt that Sir Ian is close to being named as a non-executive director of BT, which is in talks with the government about a multibillion pound investment programme to deliver full-fibre broadband across the country.

A source close to one leading boardroom headhunter said they understood that Sir Ian's appointment could be announced as soon as this week.

He is likely to be a candidate to replace Nick Rose as BT's senior independent director when Mr Rose steps down from the company's board in the coming months.

The arrival of Sir Ian will come during a period of transformation at BT under Philip Jansen, who became chief executive just over a year ago.

BT disclosed last week that Mr Jansen had become the first prominent corporate figure in the UK to contract the COVID-19 virus, although he is continuing to run the company while he is isolating himself at home.

Several of his colleagues and competitors have also been self-isolating after attending meetings with him during the last fortnight.

What morons are selling at these prices, somebody please remind me what the IPO price was?


= = = =

Right, the IPO was £1.30.
...and the 'morons' who were selling at 'these prices' (£1.21 at the time of your post), are the same morons who could have bought back at £1.10 on Friday.

If the game is not being played it cant be broadcast!

[ekuuleus] 14/3/2020 09:13

It would be stupid commercially not to refund customers. Gi e anrefund now and keep the subscriptions in the future.

[ribblewader] 14/3/2020 09:06

Cant see customers getting a refund for something outside of BT's control

[nw99] 14/3/2020 07:22
