^^ [continues at Bloomberg]: Liberty Global has expressed interest in a deal and held on-and-off talks with Vodafone in recent months, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the information is not public. Any transaction may value Vodafone’s stake at more than €2 billion ($2.2 billion), according to some of the people.

It’s unclear if Vodafone is willing to sell, and there’s no certainty the discussions will lead to an agreement, the people said. If successful, Liberty Global could later possibly merge the Dutch fixed and mobile operator with its Belgian cable company, Telenet, to create a large Benelux operator.

Representatives for Vodafone, Liberty Global and VodafoneZiggo declined to comment.

European telecommunications operators are increasingly looking to consolidate their operations after years of telling regulators they need scale to boost returns. Politicians in Brussels have warmed to the idea and will unveil new telecoms regulations at the end of this year that could prompt a new wave of deals.

Liberty Global and Vodafone created fixed and mobile operator VodafoneZiggo as a joint venture in 2016 with both companies holding 50% stakes. Negotiations have moved slowly as Vodafone has focused on sales of under-performing markets such as Spain and Italy.

Liberty Global Chief Executive Officer Mike Fries said at a conference last year that while the joint venture has been successful, “seven years is a long time for a joint venture. So, we need to think about where we’re going with that business.”

Liberty Global started a restructuring last year to revive its share price. It listed its Swiss fixed network Sunrise Communications AG and split UK-based operator Virgin Media O2’s fixed network into a separate company. This model is likely to serve as a framework for what Liberty could do with other European telecoms assets.

the share price got above the 200dma twice last year. let's see some persistence above it and ideally get above 80p before getting too excited. the only trend i see is that the downtrend might have ended. it might get rangebound. the good news is that it is quite a while before it goes xd again, which gives it some time to stay above the ma's
am in overall profit now but would like some more before i get out. vod owes me, and probably quite a few others on here. a few pennies on the share price makes a big difference

This was on the NYSE:VOD news feed 3/3/25'Vodafone and AST SpaceMobile Sign Agreement to Create European Direct-To-Device Satellite Service ProviderSource: Business WireVodafone Group Plc (Vodafone) (LSE: VOD), a leading European and African telecommunications company, and AST SpaceMobile Inc. ("AST SpaceMobile") (NASDAQ: ASTS), the company building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network accessible directly by everyday smartphones, designed for both commercial and government application, have signed an agreement to create a jointly-owned European satellite service business ("SatCo") to serve mobile network operators (MNOs) in all European markets.SatCo will seek to provide 100% geographic coverage in every part of Europe to give consumers and businesses access to secure space-based cellular broadband connectivity via their MNO.The new venture will exclusively distribute AST SpaceMobile's satellite services to European MNOs under a single turnkey arrangement. This will be underpinned by a full network management and network operations centre capability, based in Europe, drawing on Vodafone's advanced engineering expertise. SatCo will build and run a network of ground stations to provide backhaul services from these MNOs across Europe to the satellite network in low Earth orbit.SatCo's solution will fully support European digital sovereignty. AST SpaceMobile's satellites already operate as remote radio heads where the core network capability remains with the MNO. SatCo builds on this by providing fully sovereign backhaul capabilities under Vodafone co-ownership, with European headquarters and management.'

Wash rinse and spin...what happens if the share price goes down to say 40p...cut divi again?...Germany has been a drag for how many years...


While disappointing to income investors, Vodafone sought to soothe the blow by pledging share buybacks and stressing its “ambition to grow [dividends] over time“.


Vodafone also continues to struggle in its biggest market. While group service revenue growth accelerated to 5.2% in quarter three, the decline in Germany worsened to 6.4%.

II morning report:

Vodafone hailed an acceleration in service revenue growth during its third-quarter, amid a "step-up in the UK". The telecommunications firm, however, said trade in Germany was hurt by a TV law change. Total revenue in the third-quarter to December 31 increased 5.0% to EUR9.81 billion from EUR9.35 billion a year prior. Service revenue alone advanced 5.2% on-year on an organic basis, picking up speed from a 4.2% advance in the second-quarter. Organic service revenue in the UK rose 3.3% in the third-quarter, after a 1.2% rise in second. In Germany, however, it fell 6.4%, "primarily due to the impact of the TV law change". A law change in Germany last year saw the end of bulk TV contracting in multi dwelling units. Elsewhere, Vodafone hailed a "strong performance" in Turkey and Africa. "We are continuing to invest in the turnaround of our German business and we are starting to see improving customer trends, although conditions have become more challenging in the mobile market," CEO Margherita Della Valle said. "During the quarter, we completed the sale of Italy for EUR8 billion and received regulatory approval for Vodafone's merger with Three in the UK. When the UK merger completes in the next few months, we will have fully executed Vodafone's reshaping for growth. We are on track to grow in line with our full year guidance for this year, which we reiterate today, and are looking forward to a stronger Vodafone in the years ahead." Vodafone still expects adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation after leases of EUR11 billion for the full-year. It achieved an adjusted Ebitda after leases of EUR11.02 billion in financial 2024. The firm also announced it will kick off a EUR480 million share buyback, the final tranche of a EUR2 billion programme.

That reporter could have asked Madam why VOD share price keeps going down...
Posted at 20/12/2024 09:35 by davius
Not quite year end but...

1st January the VOD share price was 68.62p, now 66.53p, down 3%, FTSE up 4.5% in the same period.

Including dividends (5.7p) then the overall gain on VOD is 5%. The average yield on the FTSE is 3.68%, so overall VOD has still underperformed by 3.2% or so.

The fall in the FTSE through December will be hurting the Brucie Bonuses of the traders, so perhaps there's still time for an artificial Santa Rally...

The dividend is pretty much the only thing going for VOD, the share price has been a spectacular disappointment.

Since Stellar Fail became CEO the shares are down 29.2%, and they are well below the 77.53p at the time the board decided to award themselves an eye watering £30.4m in performance related shares.

Of course, the fall since then has been tempered by 13p in dividends so in reality they've already profited. However "fat cats" on huge salaries don't tend to need access to these funds and can let them run as long as they remain in post, unlike those of us in the real world.

Some might say they are typical board members with "snouts in the trough" as all they do is take with no real input. I couldn't possibly comment, save to express my frustration as a part owner of Vodafone, that the board have failed to make use of Vodafone's size and strengths, yet continue to view their own performance as worthy of such rewards.

Buybacks is good sometimes at low prices???...let me get this straight...so they buying now and what if the share price drifts to say 40p or 30p or lower?...VOD has been buying well above current prices and share price has been drifting lower...lost the plot...so when and what price is the end game?...




Theory of buy backs is good sometimes at low prices.

The main news from Vodafone's (VOD) results is that the approval processes for their transactions in the UK and Italy are "nearing conclusion". In most other respects, the figures show no change from the recent past, which has been characterised by slow growth and an underperforming German business. In Italy, Vodafone is selling its business to Swisscom AG for €8bn (£6.67bn) in upfront cash and completion is now expected in early 2025. At a similar time, Vodafone is also expecting to complete its merger with Three UK. This deal includes a promise to invest £11bn in 5G infrastructure. The Competition and Markets Authority said last week the tie-up could proceed if this commitment is met.The scale of investment needed and the intensity of competition has been a sticking point for telecoms companies. The combination has made it difficult to generate returns on investment but the aim with the Three UK merger is that by increasing its scale Vodafone can spread the costs across more customers, increasing the returns to 5G investment.Focusing on the UK seems sensible as it is one of its best performing markets. In the six months to September, revenue increased 2.1 per cent year-on-year to €3.44bn while adjusted cash profit rose 10.5 per cent. This was partly the result of foreign exchange movements, but also because of lower energy costs and 'other cost efficiencies'. These efficiencies should grow if and when the Three merger is completed.The problem market has been Germany. It makes up over a third of revenue but saw revenue decline 3.9 per cent. In part, this fall was because of a law change that stops landlords from bundling cable TV into mandatory tenancy charges, but even without that, service revenue was down 2.4 per cent in the second quarter.In fact, price increases last year have continued to drive German customers away. In the half year, the broadband customer base declined by 88,000. In response, Vodafone has already said it is laying off 3,100 workers, a sign it doesn't expect growth to pick up again soon.The consequence is that there was a free cash outflow of €1.1bn as capital spending crept up slightly to €3bn. It is anticipation of this outflow that caused Vodafone to slash its dividend earlier this year, meaning its yield fell from 11 per cent to 6 per cent.There is a chance that once these deals go through Vodafone will be able to return to profitable growth. But the last six months have just been more of the same and until we see evidence of change, we stick to hold.
