Not all Aqua. BT = both. IMO, Brexit is a major contributor to the destruction of this SP.
Look at the charts. BT hit it's year peak after Westminster passed the Bill last December. Shortly after the Tory gov then started adding caveats. From that point on the BT SP started its most recent retrace. Of course Covid added further downward pressure.
Yes, if there is any serious bid then BT will go up but that won't happen. If the Tory gov can prescribe the BT management team to unhook the Huawei kit, then you can be sure they have no intention of letting a TO to go ahead. IMO
This is a Brexit play stock and the SP will continue to head south in tandem with all things Brexit related.
Until there is certainty over how the UK resolves Brexit, then......
