If you bought the rumour and sold the news then you may have made a whole 1 percent
What’s that saying ? Buy the rumour and sell the news or something like that !
Classic example here.
Woof woof 😹
I dont think its so much the market doesnt like the deal, I think its not a done deal yet before the regulators approve it and the statement that says not closed till 2024 has something to do with the lack of spike...
A buy of £54m @ 72 a share got processed, which appears to be a trade from this morning which they have now put through, suspect in the background some serious buying and averaging down is happening
In a way the current pricing action is ideal as there won't be any gaps left on the US side for algos to chase in the future.
I just fail to understand the "optimists" posting here today. VOD has come all the way down from £2.58 in May 2015 - Eight blooming years ago - in a steady fall. No intervening recoveries of 20% or 30% and yet there are posters claiming it'll be 100p by tomorrow and Nirvana will shortly arrive to shower you all with profits.
One flippin' merger in a telecoms market saturated with suppliers, where price is the only motivator to buy the product, or stay with it, is going to do this? I don't think so. Umpteen generations of senior management have utterly failed to manifest anything remotely like a recovery., since the Mannesmann merger twenty years ago. What on earth leads you to believe that this merger will change eight years of loss making SP failure?
The thought arises; I wonder if following a share, or shares, with an upward trend might do your wallets more good, than this mongrel. A remote possibility, I agree, but it just might.
As predicted -- last week -- the market is not liking the deal.
VOD share price is now at its lowest level since 1997, in the last century!
Vodafone is taking on a rubbish network, extra debt, and 1-2 years of nagging uncertainty while the Britain-hating CMA authority decides at its leisure whether to give the red or green light (probably red).
There is a painful road ahead.
May be Vodafone should change the logo to green like EE so the sp might start moving up :-)
Wow - is it any wonder I sold up.... gravity to zero!
It's only Vodafone UK and Three UK that are merging. In the event the merger goes through, there'll be no share split of any of the companies involved. Vodafone will own 51% of the new company and Three will own 49%. Vodafone will transfer around £4.3 Billion of debt to the new company and Three £1.7 Billion in debt.
Flipping hek. Cant believe this.... What a joke...
The Yanks will do us a favour - for once !!
I is getting a sing song going to cheer em all up
Is there going to be a share split and what is that calculation for the merger? What if 1000 vod shares are converted to 500 in the merged company.
This is laughable
about to go red.... flipping hek. what a **** stock...
Its gone from 3% up to 1.5% up within 20 minutes of them talking.
And sing like you is hear 🎵 🎶
Dont tell me its going red today on this news...
I could drink all of your beer 🎵 🎶
I could bend you right over 🎵 🎶
🎶🎶
Watching this lose all the initial gains is pitiful. We this pain ever end ?
If this was an american stock then it would be 50% up today. This only up 2 percent lol...
So Call and put options in place and we shift about 72% of the debt vs owning 51% on NewCo. so shifting 21% of debt.
Where does it say £11b more. it only says £11b investment, they would alead have to invest so the te £11b isn't incremental. In fact they are saying the combined MergeCo will actually spend £700m less (CapEx & OpEx) per year less than they would as standalone entities
