Although Porsche's way of putting things is not my style he is probably talking sense.
Vodafone are down from about 2.20 to 91p in the last 5 years. Apple are up about 325% & Microsoft up about 305% over the same period. THAT DOESN'T MAKE VOD A NO BRAINER BUY now as some on here keep spouting. It is 91p for a variety of reasons.
So 20K in VOD 5 years ago is now worth below 9K, the same in Apple would now be worth about 65K etc etc, need I say more & that's without any dividends being factored in.
Casshy posts ... Over 8% yield...plus no doubt capital appreciation up to this date...a gift.
Go very careful if you are thinking of investing here.
Just say the dividend is cut nest week, it is definitely a possibility & then Casshy won't get his 8% yield & the SP will be in the 80's ... then it may be a nicer gift !!
I like your optimism xxxAcc & I sincerely hope you are correct with your guesses.
On the free cash front I see that India is playing up again … Cash-strapped Vodafone Idea (Vi) has paid only 10% of its licence fee dues for the March quarter and sought more time from the government to clear the balance 90% in multiple tranches.
I hope this doesn’t spell dividend woes.
Thanks Strictly always great to read your 'sagacious' offerings (that fellow posters is my newly learned word for May).
Does anyone know when the next announcement from PSN is?
Until then bated breath!
Well said Rob.
danielh is about as good as judging personalities as he is at investing & that’s what makes him so bitter & twisted. How many people on here has the fool fallen out with. God help anyone who has any view contrary to his own. As for me I certainly do not want anyone to lose money, including the aforementioned fool. My posts are intended to assist others thinking of investing here, that’s all. Use your filter Danny boy if you don’t like reading my posts.
Careful Jax that last comment could be construed as being negative and daniel won’t like that all. He only wants to read positive posts and all posters must do as he says and yes Gutter and Mikey that means you as well.
Perhaps Dan you yourself could post something of worth to others, just saying..
Vodafone has now invested over €22 billion (euros) in the German market, revenue is seriously declining there & the interim CEO remarks “We can do better”. I hope she had the German investment in mind when making that remark. VOD is now all about results & these are coming soon. Is the money coming in to service the massive debt? Is enough money coming in to keep the dividend? It looks like it is thankfully but the market will want to see growth before there is any rise in the share price, particularly growth in Germany..
I wanted my 1000th post on LSE to be positive so I’m going out on a limb by saying that LGEN will end up on the day by close of trading today, ha! (Currently down a smidgen).
Seriously good luck to all holders, this is a great company deserving of an equally great CEO whoever she or he may soon be.
Narcus - Not so wise (Wisebear) continually posts that he “sees positive news is imminent for Vodafone”.
Perhaps he is one of those paid rampers you read about because one thing is certain and that this is a debt laden, no hope, crock of cr ap in which many decent folk rue the day they got involved (eh Daniel?)
Mr Math you say this will accelerate to £4, I sincerely hope that you are spot on but this has only just crept above £3 once in the last ten years & that was only for a short time.
Treat this as a dividend play “utility share” & you won’t go far wrong, a bit like Vodafone used to be, but that’s now another story, a complete debt laden basket case.
Gazza - It's fairly obvious for those that can see that is, that Tom & his BOD chums are still taking their lovely salaries, their exorbitant expenses & first class flights / hotels & giving the square root of F' all back. It's your money that you brought EME shares with that they are spending & when it's gone you won't hear a word from them ( a bit like now). This happens all over the AIM so you have been warned, just don't buy any more shares it only encourages them.
Dividend to be cut by 50% & the SP will be 50p.
Don’t think this isn’t possible because it most certainly is.
Revenue is seriously declining & the massive debt can’t be serviced from what’s left.
Costs are continuing to rise just to stand still.
Is it any wonder this is the biggest dog share out there.
Mr Cautious don’t concern yourself with Danny boy, he is sitting on a hefty loss here with his stupid decisions to buy this crock of sh t when it was a lot higher & his feeble brain thinks that by insulting others who are simply making salient points it will make him feel better. He is the worst kind of keyboard warrior or telephone tough guy. An odious individual if ever there was one.
Android perhaps you have it wrong.
Vodafone’s income is declining month by month which may well mean they can’t afford to pay the next dividend. There is simply no wriggle room here as the companies debt is enormous. Without the pennies coming in the first thing to be cut will be the dividend. A 50% cut will still mean a yield of over 4% but just imagine what a cut will do to the SP.
