21-Oct-16 UBS Buy - 1,310.00 Reiteration

Some friends went yesterday and they are also at a loss to explain yesterday's fall.
The audience response was favourable and there was no sense of concern amongst the invited guests.
Even today's LEX column said the mobile numbers were easily deliverable.
The Sky share price always seems to have unknown forces moving it? - Rupert?

But now the market is unsure about Sky's mobile phone...........

Early days for Sky Q.Always bugs in early days.

Ordered sky Q which took 5 weeks to install,thought fair enough it must be selling well.

However on delivery unit has a known fault which Sky they have been aware of for at least 2 months with no resolution (small unit locks and fails to respond to commands only cure is full re boot and re-link small box to hub which is a pain)Google sky Q small screen.

There is an 11 page thread on this on Sky's own site.

Disappointing.

Sadly hit by U.K. advertising market declines - agencies blame it on Brexit.Germany and Italy OK.Rather unfair given Sky is a subscription (TV, Phone and Broadband) not an advertiser funded model.But tomorrow's another day.

The best analogy for this company is that they are trying to run up a down escalator - always having to invest like stink just to maintain their market position - and its only going to get harder as long as you have a low cost alternative streaming business like Netflix offering a much better value proposition.

Sorry folks but shares oversold here but going nowhere fast ...

Really can't see a recovery coming anytime soon. Possibly not reach £9 again for about another 3 years :(

Sky will hold a Capital Markets Day at its headquarters campus in Osterley on the 20th October.

First such event for over 25 years so likely to be positive.

NOT ....

Looks like investors not too impressed.:-(

[anley] 20/10/2016 10:44

Its Thursday and it has popped DOWN........is it no one likes the open day?

[topdoc] 18/10/2016 20:04

Will pop up on Thursday

The news is mixed and the markets can't make their minds up so the shares will drift sideways until positive signs come forth.

I shall sit and watch especially in these markets where interest rates are moving the markets as is Britex which is a difficult one to read!!

Sky fair value £5

[argylerich] 15/10/2016 10:04

Has Murdoch changed his passport again?

[anley] 13/10/2016 10:15

I wonder what the City scribblers will make of these figures - lots of £ and Euro's and growth..............so what is their to hate I wonder BALL DEAP?

Time is short now imminent reversal in SV just weeks away now like I said from the start. I have been informed that SKYs Saudi Arabian owners are going to be living in skid row soon with their pants around their ankles. They meddled with the stock and soon they will pay a heavy price for their low IQ interference. Hahaha I reiterate : reach for the door NOW, bail the hell out this stock or open a short on plus500 you will not be disappointed I promise you that, it has gone nowhere in 12mnths and is going nowhere in the next 12mnths other than negative. Don't listen to the blatant rampers trying to support this Saudi Arabian stock.

[sicker] 06/10/2016 08:46

Good start then,1/2 div drop regained already :-)

[boix] 06/10/2016 06:56

Should loose 21p at open as ex div.

[boix] 04/10/2016 12:21

Short Sterling and long Sky working well!
Happy days for me but UK economy????
But that's Brexit!

[raffles the gentleman thug] 03/10/2016 22:01

RSI approaching 70 - over bought and time to short

[boix] 02/10/2016 20:39

Sterling taking the next leg down will offer further support to the Sky share price.

[ball deap] 02/10/2016 20:18

Everyone loves a dead cat bounce.

Sky was a gainer on Tuesday amid a retread of speculation that 21st Century Fox, its biggest shareholder, might be drawn into another takeover approach.Kepler Cheuvreux turned positive on Sky with an £11 target price. Worries about football broadcast rights inflation and a potentially shrinking market mean Sky has derated to a 45 per cent discount to its historical average, which puts its UK business on an implied valuation of just 7 times earnings versus a sector at 16 times, the broker said."In our view, this huge valuation gap may revive interest from 21st Century Fox," Kepler told clients."While [Fox chief executive James] Murdoch said at a recent conference that Fox was not lining up big deals in the short term, the 15 per cent decline in the pound, and a 23 per cent share price fall in Sky year to date, has made it nearly 40 per cent cheaper than what it was in dollar terms."On trading, Kepler forecast Sky's revenue growth to keep outpacing peers thanks to innovations such as its Now TV streaming service and Adsmart, its personalised advertising platform.And on broadcast rights, the broker highlighted that Sky's English and German top-league football deals run until 2020 and 2021, respectively, which is said gives the company a two-year period of "exceptional visibility on major sports costs".Sky closed up 1.6 per cent at 847.5p.
