What's happening to bts subscriptions. I would imagine it's way up due to the lick down am pretty amazed at this share price

Agree, let's hope we have a greyhound, quick out the traps next Thursday.

Monty, every dog has its day.

[poikka] 30/4/2020 15:48

That is very true, diku.

BT has been the dog of the Ftse100, not only a dog but a dog with fleas. But I think their is life in the old dog, any kind of dividend would give the shareprice a boost.

Going by Shell today anything is possible on dividends, that sent shockwaves through the city. BT I would say 50% cut, but who can say.

Looking in from the outside if they pay the divi of 10.78p that would suggest they know the entire financial impact from the Coronavirus whilst it is still unravelling....somehow I don't think so...better to under promise and over deliver than the other way round...

Poikka..."Is anyone actually expecting bt to maintain the divi!?"

I'm expecting BT to pay the H2 10.78p dividend totalling 15.40p, and expect dividends to be cut to 10p for the full year going forward. However, I think that this virus gives the BT BOD the opportunity to cut this years H2 dividend. Time will tell, not long to wait now.

It's very odd/worrying to me.
BT not taken part at all in the recent rally that has raised the FTSE above 6000.
Full year results out a week today
DB now cuts to 110p
Yes, business will be up here surely, but maybe poor elsewhere

Been buying over last 6 weeks with a break even of 118p
Tempted to top up prior to results, but something just seems 'off' somehow.....

[diku] 30/4/2020 12:11

monty...how many of those Italians are paying their bills?...look beyond UK...

DEUTSCHE BANK CUTS BT GROUP PRICE TARGET TO 110 (146) PENCE - 'SELL'

[diku] 30/4/2020 11:44

Don't tell monty....I sincerely hope it goes to 200p and beyond over the coming years for you get your money back....



I cancelled my BT Sport package as no point paying for something I can't watch, same with Sky, I'm guessing I won't be alone.

[wllmherk] 30/4/2020 11:38

Is there anything BT can sell to reduce debt, is the Italian division still up for sale?

[wllmherk] 30/4/2020 11:25

I think a dividend cut is nailed on to be honest. Unfortunately, I hold these from over 200p so any return on my investment looks a long way off. 50%-70% would be my guess although I wouldn't be surprised if they passed on the dividend altogether. As you rightly point out they have the perfect excuse in the current climate.

I'm a bit surprised these haven't rallied more as people will keep using their phones and the internet, although I appreciate they have other issues (Pension/debt). I cancelled my BT Sport package as no point paying for something I can't watch, same with Sky, I'm guessing I won't be alone.

Shell has big problem if oil price remain lower than it's own cost base.BT has no such problem . It is regular income from subscribers. If they withhold divi completely it will be share holder's revolt on the card.

[poikka] 30/4/2020 11:09

With net debt of some £15bn, cutting the divi completely would knock that back by 10% - not a great impact, but it's cashflow that would be the determining factor - going forward - I guess.

Most of the debt is due 5 years plus away. Here's my guess, fwiw, a 2/3rds cut in the divi to 5p, saving £1bn and giving us a yield of 3.5% at 140p - much the same as RDSB, lol.

Any guesses?

[diku] 30/4/2020 08:38

No divi is the new norm...if you cannot get any returns from saving rates why should others...

[fhmktg] 30/4/2020 08:32

Shell's dividend cut will spook the market ....not a good omen for BT?

[diku] 29/4/2020 20:25

And Not the retailers...but is Telcos about to join them?...

[action] 29/4/2020 19:53

For all investor here hope that miracle do happen. Secondly people were saying if BT Sales Mast it has or list it separate company it can unlock underlying value.Also some said here long back that when they replace copper wire with fiber broadband ,copper itself is worth alot. So look beyond the noises in the market. DYOR as always. Also who will pay you divi this year Not your banks.

[diku] 29/4/2020 18:36

Look at that header chart...yesterday they closed it above 120p and today below 120p having been up all day only in the coat tails of FTSE rise and not specific company strength......to keep that lower highs and lower lows intact...

[oakville] 29/4/2020 18:31

Something is not right here?
