Vod will do a rolls royce

[spacedust] 07/11/2024 14:39

And there buying billions of shares reducing shares in issue.

Once deal is done it'll turn a corner. Selling at historic lows is a bit loony I think loony tunes abidiabidi that's all folks

SP should be higher given recent news, Three merger, Telefonica deal also today.
Debt will be down to around €20Bn also.

Won’t make any difference whether the deal goes through or not, the direction of travel for Vod as a company is self evident to anyone with a reasonable IQ. Terminal.

[spacedust] 07/11/2024 11:52

I'm just thinking usually fantastic news results in a tank in the share price I am deep in with VOD after I sold Rolls royce

I'm pretty sure this will go through:

“We believe this deal has the potential to be pro-competitive for the UK mobile sector if our concerns are addressed,” said Stuart McIntosh, chair of the inquiry group leading the investigation.

“Our provisional view is that binding commitments combined with short-term protections for consumers and wholesale providers would address our concerns while preserving the benefits of this merger.

“A legally binding network commitment would boost competition in the longer term and the additional measures would protect consumers and wholesale customers while the network upgrades are being rolled out.”

Just following BT lower today after their interims, down 5% over there. Their CEO saying they have concerns over spectrum allocation with VOD / 3 deal

[spacedust] 07/11/2024 09:15

Selling vod when its around its historic ever low.

Are you gambling that the deal won't go through? Or do you believe that once deal is signed, the share price will tank?

For once I managed to get it right, been selling various shares today, including a third of my VOD holding. Dumped about £20K all told to move into a decent pile of cash. Early doors almost everything I held was up strongly, now of the 11 shares still held 8 are down.

US indices up between 2% and 3%, we get shafted again with the FTSE now negative.

[diku] 06/11/2024 13:51

It's like a huge oil tanker, slow to get going.

Merger now looking highly likely. We may finally be turning a corner.

[diku] 06/11/2024 08:28

From the Telegraph

05 November 2024 8:25am GMT

A £15bn merger between Vodafone and Three is on course to be given the green light after Sir Keir Starmer vowed to “rip up” red tape blocking investment in Britain.

The two mobile operators have been told they must freeze prices for the next three years if they want their tie-up to be approved by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

Regulators also demanded that the new companies must make a legally binding commitment to roll out 5G high speed mobile internet in Britain following an in-depth investigation.

The CMA set out its conditions for approving the tie-up, which would create the UK’s largest mobile network. It comes after the Prime Minister laid out plans last month to boost economic growth by tearing down planning barriers and “ripping up the bureaucracy that blocks investment”.

Speaking at an international investment summit in the City of London, he told the leaders of 300 of the world’s biggest firms it was “time to back Britain”.

The CMA concluded in September that the Vodafone and Three deal could lead to higher prices for customers and could harm the position of rival mobile virtual network operators, such as Sky Mobile, Lyca, Lebara and iD Mobile.

However, it said an agreement to invest in the rollout of 5G over the next eight years across the UK would help allay its concerns, as well as a commitment to retain certain existing mobile tariffs and data plans for at least three years.

Stuart McIntosh, the chairman of the CMA’s inquiry group leading the investigation, said the view of the regulator had not changed despite the Prime Minister urging it to prioritise growth.

He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “The CMA’s general position is that strong competition promotes innovation, investment and growth.

“If we look at the Vodafone and Three case, were we to conclude that the merger should be cleared on competition grounds, that, in part, would be because there’s a positive impact of the legally binding commitment on network investments.

“And it is also, therefore, likely to be positive for growth.”

Vodafone and Three said in a joint statement that they would need to study in detail the CMA’s proposals but “so far, the companies believe it provides a path to final clearance”.

A spokesman said: “An appropriate balance appears to have been struck by ensuring that the significant benefits of the merged company’s investments can be realised in full and at pace to the benefit of the country and its citizens, while addressing the CMA’s stated concerns.

“However, it is essential that balance is preserved through to the end of the process, reflecting that the parties have offered extensive remedies, including by making their future network roll-out fully enforceable.”

The CMA’s final decision on the merger is due by Dec 7.
