In one respect a low share price is good for Vodafone's finances, as it significantly reduces the cost of mitigating dilution by buybacks in relation to MCB's.
As far as Vodafone's institutional shareholdings, the top institutional shareholders hold around 50% of the issued shares, with Total institutional shareholdings adding up to around 80%; The likes of us only own around 9% of the company.

Can someone give some insight into why this is dropping everyday ?
Keep the comments Constructive like yours ?
Well done Cheap. All we need now is the sp to get back to cheap as chips! £1.50 at my local chip shop. Let's try & keep the negative comments constructive please. Not the same old sack Nick Read, sack Nick Read, because it is getting very boring. I think we all get the point by now? I bet he has got very nice shoes? Better than mine I am sure.
It’s is very cheap
I think it’ll go cheaper
I’m waiting for 100p
The dividend makes this a worth it.
This thing has dropped through my buy in price but not sure now if I should wait a bit, I don’t like it when I don’t understand at least the rationale behind the move and this is dropping hard. One answer to the question what would someone else do better. I worked on some of the VF acquisitions from 1996 to 2013 (very small cog) and commented when I left in 2013 that this leviathan no long made sense and should be broken up. It’s parts are worth way way more that the whole.
Bought back in at 108.55p
Nice to be back here!
Well the divi is the main thing if it was cut the sp would suffer. I’m not seeing that now.
Anyone saw the Hungary sale is landing Vod another $1.8B it’s good money as sterling is weak.
Cheap
I’ve sold our earlier but I cannot help being tempted now as it’s below 110p.
All the best to shareholders I hope you win
Cheap
Ignore anything Porsche posts, he/she hops from from forum to forum trash talking any UK listed stocks; Shows all the signs of a spam merchant/bot.
Why take over target? What would acquirer do differently that's not already being done?
Why would anybody take it over? There are a dozen operators in europe and most of them are in far better share than vod. This has been making disposals to try and pay down the insane debt level but that wont stop the dividend being cut. This is going to .80p, everything listed in U.K. along with sterling is being crucified ( thanks brexit/tories ) but debt ridden stuff like this is terminal. People had their chance to dump this at 1.40 if they didnt take the smaller loss and get out thats their own fault. UK is going down the toilet I’m afraid, 1970’s all over, and its taking the index with it.
So don't go lending your shoes to gary then guys, but seriously, will topping up here at these lower prices be rewarding, would appreciate your thoughts on that
Cheers
I'm contemplating buying these at this price. Surely they will become a takeover target at some point ?
Mikey that’s a negative post mate we’re only having positives today, especially on the day St Liz is giving us all some respite from the gas / electric debacle.
As for Mr Read it’s easy to criticise when you don’t know what he has to deal with, the old saying springs to mind … “Before you criticise a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you do criticise him, you'll be a mile away and have his shoes” Gotta laugh.
Not been funny Gary but the analysts have been saying this for over 3 years - many have come out with downgraded price targets lately . Despite what certain people think on here about me I am not against vodafone , I want it to do well , but I do have a moan about the CEO who just comes out with the same **** every AGM or half yearly about providing value to shareholders then does bugger all about it .
As an ex holder I keep popping back to read what is being said here, same old with Mikey but I sense some love towards the lad from most. I also sense some despair as the SP goes under 1.10 so I thought I’d post the following as an attempt to cheer the lads up. My recent research shows that on the whole analysts seem positive about the stock & there’s a consensus Buy rating. Morgan Stanley analysts believe the shares could reach 1.80 which represents a 60% upside. I’ll be back in if it gets to £1, the benefits of 5G will have an effect sooner or later.
Please only post positive messages today …
Mikey that's always the case though mate, the big guys at the top always seem to get their big bonuses regardless of whether anyone thinks they have deserved it or not, but come on there much more to vod's problems than just nick reed, massive infrastructure costs for instance and a very competitive market, not to mention the company's debt, the big question of course is can they turn things around and provide that value for shareholders, I'm not sure, so will leave someone else to answer that question if they can ?
mehmehmeh, i understand what you are saying, i think most people are aware that the coming months are probably going to be a bad time for investors in general, not just vod share holders, for myself i will just be hoping all the dividends keep coming in while we are waiting for some sort of recovery, but not much point of worrying about what we have very little control over, hopefully some good events will ease the situation, don't think everyone's in the same situation as mole-mans circle of friends, but as usual the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, just my thoughts, wish i knew the best way to deal with the share situation in difficult times
cheers
Robelo, worried about 3 things. 1 energy costs rising and not completely hedged. 2. Buyback ending soon. 3. Increased investment needed in Germany.
Just a bit of banter........keeps the spirits up Captain Danielh
Don't panic Mr Manwaring, oh Dan i meant
Think it's just going to be a crap winter for shares guys, but not a lot we can do about it, will just have to sit it out, unless anyone's got a good plan , if so please share it with us
Ah.. Could it be don't panic Mr Manwaring. Me panic? No way?
Hi roofer. Just trying to de cypher Danielh Dads army? Am I just being a stupid boy? Or am I obessed? Have you been on the sherbets, by any chance? Good on you? Cheers?
mehmehmeh, for what reason are you saying the dividend will be cut, it went down to a £1 before with the dividend at the rate it is now, or are you just getting in a panic about it for possibly no reason
