I hope it does get to £1 again and more, preferably in the not too distant future. It does seem an absurdly low MC for such a huge company so logically it should rise from here. From the sound of it robleo, you certainly deserve a change of fortune here having endured 6 years of disappointment as a VOD holder. MP's suggestion that it'll be taken over sounds plausible and may happen sooner than we think due to the current low valuation.
Vodafone will get well above 100p in time and it more likely than not it will be the result of a takeover.
Garonne, I agree with most of what you said, but not sure changing the CEO will solve the problems, we need to see some good results from this share
This industry has required expensive infrastructure costs and also this is a very competitive market, and i expect bad management has also contributed to some of the problems
I've been invested here for over 6 years, and every year i have thought it will get better, unfortunately every year it's got worse
Obviously the whole point of risking your capital in the stock market is to try and get a better return than you would get from a bank or building society, unfortunately that's not worked out with this one
Having said all that it takes time for a new CEOs decisions to take effect, getting rid of the dead wood etc
Personally i think the current share price is very low even by Vodafone's standards, and think it would be worth holding to see if it can at least get back to a £1, but i maybe wrong as i have been in the past
what does everyone else think ?
68p pleases
It's clear from the dismal shareprice guesses for Friday's close that investors' expectations are very low for VOD. The company is universally unloved with a BOD who seem incapable of even attempting to improve sentiment. Maybe they'll redeem themselves this week with some great new but somehow I doubt it. The negativity on VOD is becoming entrenched and with Labour likely to win the next election I'd say the 3 tie up is a non starter as Labour will do the bidding of their paymasters, UNITE and block the merger. I have thought about cutting my losses here but it's a difficult strategy to execute!
67 for me please

Jax, then I would recommend to you to sell your shares asap and move on from here.
Saying that all blue chips are down is a desperate cop out.
Where was Vod during the heavy gains?
Vod doesn’t need an invitation it’ll end up down in the end
And as for MDV what a tool
Garonne, welcome to the shirtless club lol, early days yet fingers crossed, it can't get any worse can it? you don't have to answer that guys
Accolade this week goes to Exil, well done

RR didn't Avocet! Maybe I'm bitter because I sold out of RR and bought in here, initially @ 90p, having been attracted by the dividend. Apart from a brief blip to £1 it's been a s***t show ever since. I'm now in a significant loss even after averaging down, so feel less than charitable towards Margherita and her team. Let's hope she can pull something out of the bag to reinvigorate this FTSE stalwart and soon! I'd even settle for a takeover @ £1 to get out with a bit of profit!
Garonne, all blue chips have ensured heavy losses this week, the start to 2024 was less than rosy. No suprise vod got dragged down with the others.
I guess we should be thankful for small mercies. The shareprice is up, not by much but up! There will however be a lot of disappointed posters who took part in this week's guess the SP, myself included. At the end of last week it felt like there was a bit of optimism around but it didn't last as seems to be the norm for VOD these days. And still the CEO stays schtum.
I emailed the CEO but got no response!
And I would be retiring early 👍
65 looks probable to me, maybe lower.
The lower this goes the better my buy in price, so "warn" all you like. You need to lean to play the game Jax.
