Nice!
What's happening? Happy and keep going!
Big spike in VOD a minute ago not sure why - any ideas ?
Hopefully if i keep saying that i can keep being wrong and it will go up each day :)
Stop talking to yourself Danny boy
Well its that time of day again - is the usual downward drop going to happen - thats the question .
Sounds like large share holder is going to shake things up with the board. Look out for some gentle persuasion for some resignations
They are most likely a quiet operator and want results with little fuss an publicity. All good. No worries. Strong buy
Results solid with price rise coming through across eu. If VOD similar and no surprises, is that enough for now pending news on strategy, ceo etc?
'% buying make any difference'
Supply and demand. 108m shares can make a difference
They have bought over 14%, others have bought big too, the price is under a pound, why would some small extra ,% buying make any difference?
'If they thought the results will drop the sp, they would have waited.'
E& have gov approval to buy 15% so they may have split 60% before results and 40% after. Either way, there should be more buying. Also more hybrid bond buybacks (€2Bn) in this FY too I think
They know nothing more, if they did that would be illegal and insider trading. Honestly the dross posts on here beggar belief.
E& increasing stake so close to results announcement. If they thought the results will drop the sp, they would have waited.
What do they know that we don’t?
VOD was never 2p so nobody bought at that level.
Including dividends, well over 90% of purchases since March 2013 will have a negative return to date. Just a few brief days in that 10 years would see buyers marginally ahead (including dividends), centred around the March 2020 lows, Oct 2020 and the end of last year beginning of this. I imagine most holders have made the majority of purchases in the last 10 years so are understandably frustrated.
Purchases made around the dot com peak are also underwater including divs, 23 years later.
Very long term holders have done OK with the stock returning about 7.5% per annum including divs since 1996.
Will the next 10 years be like the last 10, or more like the early days of growth returns?
Oh no lol
Sorry - i was a day early - back to usual tomorrow :)
Very poor judgement by mikey today, it's nowhere near a red finish
News of boardroom intervention and stake increase worth nothing. Astonishing really.
Classic Python chart shape as it goes back down it's hole
Proactive Investors - Vodafone Group’s (LON:VOD) largest shareholder, the Abu Dhabi-based Emirates Telecommunications Group Company (aka e&), has been in discussions with the debt-riddled British telecoms company regarding the composition of its board of directors, Bloomberg today reported.
It is unclear what direction e& hopes to pursue, but analysts have called it a departure from the investor’s typically hands-off approach to governance matters.
Erhan Gurses, Bloomberg’s telecoms analyst, said the Emirati company’s push “is a change from its original position, suggesting it may become a proactive force to ensure execution aligns with its long-term strategy”.
“This is a substantial change in position for e&... which has previously stated full alignment with Vodafone's strategy,” stated Robert Grindle, head of European TMT research at Deutsche Bank.
Grindle suggested that e&'s interest may be in Vodafone's African unit Vodacom, which Vodafone is hoping “to extract maximum value from”.
Vodafone’s board ousted chief executive Nick Read last December following prolonged frustration with his ability to turn the group’s tumbling market valuation around.
But Vodafone has yet to secure a suitable replacement.
Meanwhile, e& has steadily increased its stake in Vodafone in the past five months, from 11% in December 2022 to 14.6% as of today.
You are been positive - 0.50p up we will be lucky - more like in the red
Haha you cant use my words they are trade marked - true though - decline has started
And the daily decline starts :( We will be lucky to be 0.50p up by the end of day
at last poor us shareholders.
On Bloomberg, they also want to shakeup the boardroom, nice
