Last year one investor put £3200,000,000 in a long term investment in BT.a.

This blue-chip generates plenty of cash

Kirkby says the group’s on track to meet long-term cost savings and cash flow targets, so we can assume the dividend’s safe. The forecast yield’s 5.59% for 2025, rising to 5.71% in 2026. That offers a solid base return, but what about the share price?

The 13 analysts offering one-year share price forecasts have produced a median target of just over 200p. If correct, that’s an increase of a whopping 37% gain from today. Only time will tell. Given BT’s cheap price to earnings ratio of just 7.96 times, there’s certainly scope for growth.

Positive comments.

Mittal said: “This investment demonstrates the confidence we have in BT and in the UK. BT has a strong portfolio of market-leading brands, high-quality assets and an experienced management team with a compelling strategy mandated by the BT board to deliver value over the long term, which we fully support.

“BT is playing a vital role to expand access to full-fibre broadband infrastructure for millions of people across the UK. Its focus on strengthening its networks, driving consumer growth, and optimising every aspect of its business makes it well placed to consolidate its position as a leading global telecoms company.”

Allison Kirkby, the BT chief executive, said: “We welcome investors who recognise the long-term value of our business, and this scale of investment from Bharti Global is a great vote of confidence in the future of BT Group and our strategy.

“BT has enjoyed a long association with Bharti Enterprises, and I’m pleased that they share our ambition and vision for the future of our business. They have a strong track record of success in the sector, and I look forward to ongoing and positive engagement with them in the months and years to come.”

Nice blue day, far to cold for shorts.

Enormous potential.

"We're delighted to have completed our investment into BT," said Sunil Bharti Mittal, Founder and Chairman of Bharti Enterprises, in a short statement confirming the transaction.

"Bharti has long recognised the enormous potential of the business," Mittal said. "BT's renewed focus on optimisation, strengthening networks and driving consumer growth makes it well placed to consolidate its position as a leading global telecoms company that delivers long-term value for investors."

It was clear from the start that this share acquisition is very much a financial investment and not an indicator of a future takeover bid from Bharti.

Now this is a vote of confidence.

Sunil Bharti Mittal, an Indian billionaire, has made several comments about his investment in BT, including:

Vote of confidence

Mittal said that his investment in BT was a vote of confidence in the UK's growth prospects.

Stable investment destination

Mittal said that the UK is an "attractive, stable investment destination and great home for long-term capital".

Network, network, network

Mittal has said that "the telecom business is about three things: network, network, network".

Physical infrastructure

Mittal mentioned that BT already has a tremendous amount of physical infrastructure in the UK.

Quote of the year 2024 goes to Allison Kirkby.

“I always love to squeeze the shorts’

Hedge funds burned as BT shares surge.

‘‘True, but up just under 40% since May thanks to our new CEO Allison Kirkby”

Plus the excellent dividend!

Roll on 2025

BT Group plc's (BT-A.L) share price has increased 16.20% year-to-date.

Plus a very nice dividend.

Roll on 2025.

That is true Unlucky. Yes, I was HandyMandy in those days, then Son of Mandy when mum passed. Re you second point about multiple accounts. I haver never had more than one account at the same time. I have changed my moniker several times and have always been open and honest about doing so. Whether there is any truth in the rumour on here that Phat is also Greenacres, I don't really know or care. Same goes for fleecy. What I do know is that BT engineers control the narrative on this board, and mostly post a load of tripe. They sound a bit like the old East End women I used to know back in the day, always got a bad word to say about someone or other. And the leader of the pack, their chief whip you migt say, appears to be the Lord fleecy - master investor and predictor of bright futures for BT (always futures, mind you, never the here and now or medium term. Been this way for 7 years (look back and see for yourself). Just sick and tired of hearing it. Surprised you lot aren't. But then your mission is to keep your jobs for eternity. Merry Christmas Unlucky. I feel your luck is changing. Hope you get over the woke mind virus soon. Toodle Pip

I was checking to see if I was on your filter list.

Any chance you could put me on it?

The share price is now the same as before ex-dividend.

How good is that?

It’s been like this since they removed Jeremy Kyle from daytime television.

Competition Appeal Tribunal dismisses class action

Today the Competition Appeal Tribunal ("CAT") handed down its judgment in the case of Justin Le Patourel v BT Group plc ("BT Group") in which the CAT has dismissed the claim and found that BT Group's conduct did not breach competition law. We take our responsibilities to all of our customers very seriously and welcome today's ruling.

Only 5 days to ex-dividend day.

Rod £5.65, keep an eye out for this lowlife behaviour.

“Lesson 1: Remember, BASHERS NEVER Bash A BAD STOCK. Check the boards for stocks with no potential. They never have any Bashers. Bashers only go after stocks that are moving up or have excellent potential to do so. Bashers work to bring the price down to either increase their position at the expense of others or help a Short make their bones.

Lesson 2: BASHERS ALWAYS BRING UP OLD NEWS THAT YOU HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES. New startup companies always have a few bits of bad news. The Basher will post this over and over again. Unsophisticated Bashers will try to freshen up old news with a new date or by-line in an attempt to fool you.

Lesson 3: BASHERS POST MANY TIMES A DAY. They try to wear you out. They comment on everything, every other post, and can answer every question. THEY KNOW IT ALL! There is no positive comment they won't Bash. They try to control the board. True longs may have to confront the Bashers or they will appear to the newbies as being the people with all the information. This is best accomplished by posting positive, well researched data on the company, repetitively, while trying hard not to engage the Bashers in direct repartee. REMEMBER - LONGS... RESIST USING THE BASHERS ALIAS”
