Blackrock sold approx 1% of the share's in issue, dropping from 4% to 3%
Probably because they sit together in managed funds. It's not BT or Vodafone that gets bought and sold, it's telecoms. I wish they weren't so coupled up. There would be good opportunities to trade between them if they were more independent of each other
Why is BT also dropping...
What a trash stock.... Meanwhile US stocks anything to do with Ai is pumping like mental and good old companies like vodafone keep dropping...
The whole stock market is a complete and utter joke at the moment.
best off going liquid and stocking up on water and ammo.
Not going to lie, the reaction in the SP is more than disappointing.
So VOD will load £4.3b of debt onto MergeCo and will only 51% of the £6b debt, so basically reduced debt by £1.2b. On the flip side before synergies we are losing £250m EBITDAaL for that £1.2b. But with annualised savings £700m x 51% = £357m that more than makes up for the EBITDAaL loss, whilst opportunity for further Revenue and cost synergies (eg if we both get a 1% discount on procurement, MergeCo should be able to squeeze that a bit more on more volume etc). The synergies they talk about will mostly be duplicated functions etc. Just seems a small piece of the puzzle at the moment
Day traders live and die by a few % spike like that.
Guttersnipe - Is there something wrong with you?
You keep posting rubbish on here trying to bait others, no-one is taking a blind bit of notice of you.
You're coming across like a complete childish P ratt.
And how many people or funds did that..... very few compared to the amount that are underwater currently.
I expect the current weighing down of the shares is funds in the background buying everything cheap, once they have drained the well this will jump to the 80's
Not if you bought just under 72 recently and sold the spike at over 75. A nice 4%-5% there.
On the positive side I think the announcement helps to underpin the VOD divi at the current level.
They would not want impact the deal by substantially impacting the company valuation in the interim.
If you bought the rumour and sold the news then you may have made a whole 1 percent
What’s that saying ? Buy the rumour and sell the news or something like that !
Classic example here.
Woof woof 😹
I dont think its so much the market doesnt like the deal, I think its not a done deal yet before the regulators approve it and the statement that says not closed till 2024 has something to do with the lack of spike...
A buy of £54m @ 72 a share got processed, which appears to be a trade from this morning which they have now put through, suspect in the background some serious buying and averaging down is happening
In a way the current pricing action is ideal as there won't be any gaps left on the US side for algos to chase in the future.
I just fail to understand the "optimists" posting here today. VOD has come all the way down from £2.58 in May 2015 - Eight blooming years ago - in a steady fall. No intervening recoveries of 20% or 30% and yet there are posters claiming it'll be 100p by tomorrow and Nirvana will shortly arrive to shower you all with profits.
One flippin' merger in a telecoms market saturated with suppliers, where price is the only motivator to buy the product, or stay with it, is going to do this? I don't think so. Umpteen generations of senior management have utterly failed to manifest anything remotely like a recovery., since the Mannesmann merger twenty years ago. What on earth leads you to believe that this merger will change eight years of loss making SP failure?
The thought arises; I wonder if following a share, or shares, with an upward trend might do your wallets more good, than this mongrel. A remote possibility, I agree, but it just might.
As predicted -- last week -- the market is not liking the deal.
VOD share price is now at its lowest level since 1997, in the last century!
Vodafone is taking on a rubbish network, extra debt, and 1-2 years of nagging uncertainty while the Britain-hating CMA authority decides at its leisure whether to give the red or green light (probably red).
There is a painful road ahead.
May be Vodafone should change the logo to green like EE so the sp might start moving up :-)
Wow - is it any wonder I sold up.... gravity to zero!
It's only Vodafone UK and Three UK that are merging. In the event the merger goes through, there'll be no share split of any of the companies involved. Vodafone will own 51% of the new company and Three will own 49%. Vodafone will transfer around £4.3 Billion of debt to the new company and Three £1.7 Billion in debt.
Flipping hek. Cant believe this.... What a joke...
The Yanks will do us a favour - for once !!
I is getting a sing song going to cheer em all up
