Barnes - the market will decide - and it’s in auction which isn’t a good sign. I’m a holder and have been for years fortunately not overweight.

Zombie company - desperately high levels of debt yet insist on buying back shares. Bet they ant wait for interest rates to come back down again so they can refinance and make themselves look competent.

Shareholder returns (share buybacks): The Board also approved a capital return through share buybacks of up to €2.0 billion of the proceeds from the sale of Vodafone Spain. The Board anticipates the opportunity for further share buybacks of up to €2.0 billion following the completion of the sale of Vodafone Italy, which is expected to occur in early 2025. So far in FY25, an initial tranche of €500 million of share buybacks was completed on 6 August 2024, resulting in the repurchase of 591 million shares. A second tranche of €500 million of shares buybacks commenced on 7 August 2024 and is expected to complete in November 2024. It is expected that the commencement of the third tranche of €500 million of share buybacks will be announced shortly thereafter.

When you have a hotch potch built undoing the hotch potch is like buying time...not rocket science...

This company should be a leader not a follower. EE and Virgin killing them in the domestic market. So much potential here.

Agree with most of that, the bod have tried to simplify but at the same time they've not created any value or tried anything new. There are a couple of interesting parts (e.g that payments platform m-pesa) but if this was a US company they would not have languished for so long. Time for a more dynamic leadership team imo

Actually things are not so bad. Despite the FTSE languishing, Vodafone has not sunk back to the sub 65p level and remains above 70p The merger when it comes will definitely make a difference and that's only 4 weeks away.

[diku] 08/11/2024 10:12

Look at household BT after all these years still trading around 130p...like these telcos have gone back in time...never really recovered after Italian fiasco when shares were trading around 500p...yes 500p...

[watfordhornet] 08/11/2024 09:58

It's a utility. They have to price like that as that is what customers expect.Who cares these days whether you go with Vod or EE or 02. It is just based on price and very difficult to create any USPsBig mistake being so heavily invested here.Unfortunately bod don't have strategic mindset to develop new unique offerings etc, company too big and not nimble enough

[diku] 08/11/2024 09:54

No growth because of fixed pricing with giveaways...all you can eat texts, minutes and data...good for the customer...not for company...customers are hooked on phones particularly younger generation... if these telcos were pricing per calls or per texts usage then more growth...shot themselves in the foot with competition...somebody has to service, maintain and upgrade infrastructure that costs money...

You need good growth and earning to be Rolls Royce type! Threr is no growth with VOD.
