UK approves Vodafone-Three merger with conditions
Now updated to:
UK grants security clearance to Vodafone-Three merger with conditions
That’ll Work 🥳🥳
Great news....here's hoping these conditions are favourable to the Sp, took a few more...atb
Good news!
Hopefully means that the competition authority will also likely approve the deal. So over 70p tomorrow.
On top of that expecting news next week - could be over 80p before you have a chance to blink!!!
That is Tuesday morning 8am!
Sentiment suddenly extremely positive - how things change quickly!
Best of luck to all.holders especially the LTH!
See you all on Tuesday :)
I am buying more tomorrow,looks to be a nailed on rerate about to take place on that news,in my opinion.
this is very sade for gutter****e. he well be suffering moch uver the next few trading sassions
Just to be clear, last night's news was that the UK cabinet office approved the prospective merger from a SECURITY point of view, there is still an outstanding CMA review looking at the merger from a COMPETITION standpoint. Nevertheless, it is one hurdle cleared and IMO the CMA will be under significant pressure from Gov to allow the deal to proceed. Today's positive market reaction might dissipate over the next few days , BUT as a holder I am comfortable with a high divi and a process to divest, simplify the structure and clear debt. I don't expect fireworks but I expect divi + gentle SP accretion to meet my inflation + 10% target.

Strong B U Y
Reducing share of only growth market as have no cash to develop it due to woeful financial management pandering to profit now investors, with that strategy still firmly in place.
Strong sell.
@mole_man - I think you are suffering from being too close to this company for too long. Yes, it will be a long time before investors break even to £2.40 or whatever high point but that misses the point for new investors today. Spain, Italy, Hungary (and India) are over and Vodafone is a much smaller company .
What investors need to look at today is how the smaller company compares to the market and if there is sufficient upside to improve from the current position. How does it compare to the sector?
I think on most measures Vodafone is looking positive right now. Please tell me where in Telecoms you are seeing better value right now? The opportunity is not Vodafone doing something amazing to become what it was in 2000s - they will never do that. The opportunity is that growth in Telecoms market as prices harden results in re-alignment of Vodafone (and BT) to the sector.
The security approval is one of approving processes to overcome security concerns.
Vod already had to establish a security committee to manage its relationship with E& - so it is hardly surprising that it can come up with a similar solution for 3/CKHH.
What the CMA will do is anyone’s guess….bureaucrats may be looking to their future under a new government rather than care about the current govt….and the election could come before a decision which someone is going to criticise…..there are probably no votes in supporting the deal.
Looks like its gutteridiot who will be disappointed at the end of the day.
Very disappointing day for gutteridiot. I was afraide for him of this happening.
Sadely I fink he wil not be tu happy over the next treding sassions.

Gutter you are always sad and afraid when it goes down, so you I think you care a great deal. You care because you have skin in the game, and sadly it's going against you. You predicted 50p by February. Looks like you are very mistaken.
Avocet. Why don't you just give it a rest? We all know by now, gutter is a complete moron, who crawled out of the gutter. Time to give a rest. Just ignore him. You seem to just love having an argument.
Dan, i wouldn't want to get into an argument with anyone over Vod's share price, we have been here long enough to know this one will do whatever it wants, rather than what we want it to do, needs a stick of dynamite up it's backside this share, let's hope next week will be kind to us
have a good weekend all and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts

Bit rich Daniel
You're the one who continually reacts.
Now you're lecturing others!
You're a manchild caricature of a real human.
Embarrassing.
Let's get back onto posting relevant material about VOD chaps, just put GutterMuppet & anyone else who irks you here on ignore, happy days.
Hi Rob I would never get into an argument about vod's share price. I just hope it will rise as I am a Long term holder. It may fall, but I think it will rise. But I am certainty not lecturing anybody. Shame about forensic bloo & his strange manchild, bell end comments, he makes no sense to me. Have a good week rob, Gary, & all vod shareholders. Happy Tuesday!?
Dan, good evening mate, i just try to ignore the name calling , i'm more interested in seeing where is is going from Tuesday onwards, not expecting any fireworks, but it would be good to see this moving towards 80p for starters, just need it to start climbing those ladders again, let's hope the results are good enough to move it in the right direction
best of luck to you and all fellow voders
Name calling. Hello Rob The? The point is, gutter name calls himself & takes pride in it. But as Gary points out, you are very fair, so we all love you?????!!!!! Shame about ForensicBloo, Embarrassing.
