not really, although timing is everything and sometimes you have to miss a move because the prices aren't lined up. what I have noticed over 20 years or more, is that BT and Vodafone move largely in tandem. I think a lot of the buying and selling is done by fund managers who have themes, and UK telecoms tend to sit together. that said, BT tends to have more extreme oscillations. Vodafone is much more static. I suspect this is because BT has a much bigger army of small, private investors, and they tend to react more sharply when the price rises or falls. anyway, there are moments when you can make the jump, and the trick is to figure out when you should make the move. I don't take much interest in the share prices in isolation, it's more the % difference between the two prices
Hi, I read a lot of comments willing the share price up, but maybe this is not as crucial as it seems. a high dividend, low cost share has a lot of attractions too.
I move between BT and Vodafone collecting as many dividends as I can. I use them to pay the cost of living. I do the same for my daughters, but theirs are reinvested into more shares and their share volumes have increased 40% over 3 years. In the end, should any of us want to cash out then yes, the share price is the main thing, but until then oscillating between two stable shares, both paying good dividends , is just as profitable as rapid growth on the sale price
I agree it's going well, but the missing ingredient is sales. I don't mean samples. I mean signed orders for thousands of units. The company is now living on loans. It's not a problem just now, but there will be an issue if money doesn't start coming in. even if big deals are reached in the first few weeks, there will still be payment issues: schedules, late payment etc. I am waiting to ramp up my shareholding, but I want to see a first big deal, or at least some evidence of a sales pipeline. Not samples, not a pilot, not a feasibility, not a memorandum of understanding ... commercial contracts worth six and seven figures.
hello, I've been reading the posts for a year or so and thought I'd join the forum. My view is that this is a decent investment but a slow burn. I don't think anyone's going to come in with a takeover bid, Deutsch Telecom always struck me as being a background influencer, they've been hovering around for decades, and Drahi/Altice look like they're more interested in Vodafone/Germany right now. The UK Economy really is a labour of love right now and who wants to be more exposed than they need to be? Certainly not the Europeans. But that aside, BT is solid. Not exciting, but it's reassuring to see such a clear revenue path and there should be an improvement to ARPU , domestic and corporate, when/if the UK economy picks itself up off the floor. I also think BT will become an AI managed company over the next few years, leading to a scaling down of wage bills, plus a gradual reduction in Pension liabilities. meanwhile, 7+% dividend? not bad for an income share and not bad for reinvestment to create a compound effect over 5 yrs. This is one to leave as a solid share and use other money to gamble on a growth stock.
Hello, I've been watching the posts and following the share since it floated. I've got 30k shares, thinking about doubling that this side of the new year. Very interesting to see people's comments. I agree that this is an exciting opportunity. They are doing things in exactly the right way; less razzamataz, more substance. the one gap in my knowledge is their actual order book. Given they have a tested product, a place to manufacture at scale, we need to start seeing evidence of sales. So far there have been several non-binding MOU's, collaborations around design and testing, but the IPO windfall has clearly run out, finance is now coming with (gentle) strings attached, and it's time for AMTE to show it can become a commercial success. The stage is set.
