Everyone said the dividend would be held or slight cut.
There is a forecast showing the dividend being slightly shaved to 7.5p , by one of the big boys . Another shows the dividend being halved.
Is it really possible? I really want it maintained

Please look up advisory referendum & that Uk doesn’t allow for binding referendums. Many voted on that basis to protest.
Please also look up vote leave. Leave.eu & Bleave campaigns campaigning for three different forms of Brexit collecting all these votes into a binary choice. Would love to hear how you think that’s democratic
Then of course Russian money, interference, illegal money and use of campaign funds & Cambridge Analytica
Id like to point out it’s you who stated your ridiculous notion of misrepresented democracy. A ridiculous notion of winner take all, otherwise known as a majority tyranny.
Democracy relies on a degree of decency & honesty. The leave campaign destroyed all resemblance & pretence of these things in the UK. A disgusting, ridiculously pathetic, dishonest, grotesque abomination of a democratic process.
Talking about Brexit .. boring
Gentlemen, please look up DEMOCRACY and MAJORITY in a dictionary. Then please STFU about Brexit. Its done.
Savage, if that’s your view are you sure that investing in equities is the best place for your money ?
Come the revolution you’ll lose it all!
No Aus not missing anything I didn’t dispute that Brexit has caused its share of problems merely that it’s overly simplistic to think all UK problems started in 2016.
The stuff I listed has been acknowledged by economists and other interested parties for years as contributing to the undervaluations on the UK market endless news articles and academic musings are online you don’t need to look very hard.
It may suit your argument to say it’s all down to Brexit but the slippery slope started years before that and Brexit merely made things worse.
Fleccy
Barnier 1 Johnson 0 .... Johnson with few shots on target !!
Fleccy
The likes of Boris Johnson, David Frost, Dominic Raab were all so arrogant and thought the EU would bend over and negotiations would be a push over ... Boris for one thought the EU would easily give in to what he wanted ..
One by one they fell like flies , as it became plainly obvious that they had woefully under estimated who and what they were up against
To suggest it was down to some treacherous groups acting to making them weak ..is...in my opinion...with little merit
I'd suggest these various anti Brexit players weakened the Government so much, they strengthened the hand of the EU negotiating team to ensure we got a bad deal, quite treacherous in my opinion.
with respect Fleccy...I have to say that I feel that is one of the most ridiculous suggestions I have read on the subject
"weakened the Govt so much" .... holy moses ....
I'd suggest it was the various political figures and Billionaire investors who poisoned the UK political well. The LIB Dem's, Labour and SNP aided by John Bercow, a card carrying remainer who drove around in a car with a b0110ck5 to Brexit sticker in the car, tried to overturn the referendum result by any means; Billionaires like George Soros financed anti Brexit groups to march and heavily canvas politicians to ferment political instability.
Brexit in itself wasn't damaging, it was various powerful players who didn't like the result and wanted to stop it all costs, by fermenting political instability. I'd suggest these various anti Brexit players weakened the Government so much, they strengthened the hand of the EU negotiating team to ensure we got a bad deal, quite treacherous in my opinion.
It would also appear that the UK Government has no real power in this country, where the judges and foreign courts now seem to control UK policy by neutralising Government policies. It's about time they scrapped the House Of Lords and brought in proportional representation, the two party system no longer works and is unrepresentative of the majority view.
I would never vote in favour of rejoining the EU, since we'd get a rubbish deal and have to join the Euro; That said, UK politicians seem hell bent on ruining the country irrespective of us being in the EU.
Be interesting to see how this pans out, we’ve already got the “National Treasure” and “British Institution” arguments saying it should never happen, but the bid came in and the share price went up even when the bid wasn’t provisionally accepted.
DYOR
Aus, UK is already a basket case... sadly seems many are happy to welcome the return of rickets and other Dickensian era ills, expansion of thoroughly run down/deprived communities, rising unemployment, declining house prices, weak equity prices, growing food bank queues, medicine shortages, perpetually late running trains/buses, rivers converted to defacto sewers... it's a sad state of affairs but... growing 5G and FTTP rollout is one of the few diamonds in the rough!
Hi expat, I think you might not be looking at the full “round” of Brexit.
Apart from Brexit making Uk weaker, harder to trade with & looking like a basket case to investors, who let face it, have other options to choose from, Brexit being a reason not to invest here in the sunny uplands.
The bit I think you miss, is, you can follow Brexit back to the political madness that has poisoned.the uk. These lunatics wouldn’t have gained power or positions of power without the disruption of Brexit
It’s not difficult to join the dots. Leave voters have got the politicians & chaos they deserve.
"The key here is 2016. I don’t think there is an example where uk stocks have so under performed……"
nothing to do with 2016 get over it for goodness sake ,talking about several shares in general its all down to cancel of divi during covid , no specials ,fear of wind fall taxes , msm stamping feet about share holder still get divi with poo in the thames ,and bods bending over in fear of hmgov , and we all wonder why lack of investment and hedge funds going elsewhere ,and all you can do is blame 2016 boo hoo open yer eyes uk was the forth largest exporter last reports ,didnt hear that on the beloved bbc did we ??far from it just doom and gloom,reserect maggie she would be out swimming the channel with a knife in her teeth to puncture the boats not bowing down to the echr ,she would have left that the day after the 2016 ref, now the gov is considering allowing eu boats to come sandeel fishing for fertilizer ,independence my ar5e just smoke and mirrors
Yes pokerchips, seems my 165p prediction was incorrect/premature... I still reckon BT will prove an immensely sound investment, at these prices, within a 0-9 month ahead time frame and its why I'm continuing to buy up more tranches as and when I can afford to.
Agree with duncb, sell off of BT Ireland could make sense if theres some combination to both clear some debts down and to divert some supporting funds towards the 5G and FTTP rollouts too.
Recent annual profit of about £30m at BT Ireland.
If selling to reduce debt and interest payments it might make sense, it depends how much money the business makes. If it just a project for the new chief exec to justify her position then no.
£3.50 is a realistic target in 3-5 years time . Anything around that and I’m out
LOL £5 a share, maybe in our dreams but that was an old joke years ago on here, might be £5 a share at some point in the future and if lucky i our life times?
Poker, isn’t it the case that if you take out the best bits of any country’s statistics they won’t perform as well?
Aren’t the numbers supposed to include everything?
"The UK has overtaken France and the Netherlands in exports" isn't that strange?
well there isnt much between them and take out the London advantage of Financial Services and you may well find the UK is behind ...

Savage ,
You were saying " £1.60-65p very soon" back at the end of December .... "114p shortly" now seems like a bit of an admission of prediction defeat
A private equity firm offered an insulting 150p per share. For all the bad stuff about BT, the valuation is ludicrous and an obvious buy if a private equity firm will pay that. Fair value would be 500p. Just load up and don't worry!
Expatwelsh, good post. If you saw PMQ`s yesterday one MP also stated that "The UK has overtaken France and the Netherlands in exports" isn't that strange? 8-))
