We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
thanks. that is great to know. hope they can do the same with the fibre network that they are building now. can sell and lease back. most important money received must pay down the debt.
too much debt is not in fashion now.
good to hear at lease there is hope to reduce the number of vehicles.
for now if bt has not put trackers in their vehicle bt may want to do so, that will allow better insight to what is happening in their business. like is there hot spot that the vehicles always congregate. are these problem area that need better preventive maintenance.
lesser vehicles is also a green act. ev although produces less carbon. electricity generation are only about 45% effecient.
vodaphone uses 11k vehicles to servce over 13 european market.
is 30k vehicles way too many. so much problems in BT services?
is BT providing too many free vehicles for personal transport?
time to look at outsourcing this. go asset, go people light. also helps to
reduce number of indirect labour in management.
fusion98, greetings.
i m not a politician. many things in life are in contradiction position. it is up to the management to make it work. to improve is to start to measure then a road map to make things better.
hope to see productivity plan soon. things like direct, indirect labour ratio in work. can things be outsource etc. far too many employees.
someone mentioned h&s as difficulties. but that is the law and every business operates under the same law. if other business can improve productivity why not bt? break down processes and see how many can be removed without affecting work that needs to be done. or is some work not needed at all. number of employee must reduced. lesser people lesser h&s cost.
bt should work towards giving worker better wages not only beating inflation but exceed it.
but increment cannot come at the expense of shareholders profit.
bt really need to take a serious look at improving the productivity of BT workers. so surprise at the large number of call center staff. wonder if BT has any productivity improvement plan so that head count can be reduced so as to be able to pay better per worker. think about it. annual increment cannot jsut appear from thin air. customers will not keep paying more. your compeitora are looking at acquiring your customers. you have it too good for too long already,
no need to feel angry about no dividend.
the price has already discounted the no dividend.
no need to feel unhappy about the price no recovery when many are recovering, just sell it and move on.
when the selling is done, the price will start a slow recovery.
chart by month and one will see that it takes many years to reached the top and as many to this price.
will take that long again or this time is different?

dividend hunter will go on their journey to hunt for dividend with growth.
those with stable income like data center, patent protected business, essential service provider
like water, electricity. good luck. these will not give the multi bagger jump in years ahead but small stable dividend return. good luck.
if one has a flu like illness. please wear a mask. it will help reduce the chances of one passing the infection to the next person. if all practice this wearing of mask when having flu like illness, the
covid-19 or flu will not spread so widely.
learn to not touch your face especially nose, eye and mouth. if one must then use the back of your hand, it is probably cleaner then your palm side as one will touch and handle all other things with that side of your palm.
if one has no mask and need to sneeze/cough at least cover nose/mouth with a tissue paper before the action. throw away the tissue paper after use.
if no nothing to block the sneeze/cough, at least use the inner side of arm between upper arm and forearm to reduce your body liquid from spreading into the air.
some common sense practice.
not a medical advice, please check with your dr. if you need one.
fleccy, greetings.
my estimates are estimates only base on past experience. i have entered 2 batches base on current low. reserve a few more batches as the price falls.
why i think it is a good buy.
sellers are focus on cost of building the fttp, 5g network, falling revenue, high debt and pension related problems.
to me these are concerns, not problems at all.
building infrastructure is like building a property. build once, collect benefits long long time.
using 20/80 rule , my estimate is around 100 pence. that will be super super value stock to me
for long term investment.
current div return is 15/154 = 9.7% return almost like junk bond. bt credit rating are at lowest investment grade rating.
Hope bt cuts dividend pay out, stop stock dividend, use the cash to address city's concerns
a faster roll out of fttp and 5g will raise market share.
market is choosing to have issue with short term cash spend instead of the next 20 years return. faster roll out will stop the negatives.
after the final leg fall it will be on the long path to recovery.
the current price does not reflect the potential of fttp, 5g in the next 20 years.
my opinion only. vested interest.

the price actions said that BT is a no body child. there is no strong parent to defend the price.
the share for dividend is not helping the price as well. any big holder will surely sell after ex-div to lock in the price at that moment and the selling itself will force the price down resulting in more shares allocated. i wonder how BT number of shares has changed over the years. better to stop this share for dividend thing.
better for BT to reserve their cash for 1/3 dividend, 1/3 for share buy back and 1/3 for business growth.
it that way BT price may take a 1 time hit. but after that their share buy back will be able to benefits all shareholders instead of just those who opted for shares.
over a period of time dividend will growth as number of shares reduces.
if one has no parent then one has to self help. unless the big is bullying the small.
