I think you may need psychiatric help

@simmon, Why dont you dump it? What’s the point of owning capital destructive crxp like this? I sold out at 72, wrote off the loss and invested elsewhere. This has gone from over two quid a share with 4.5 pc dividend to 30p. It’s a dog of a biz with a scumbag ceo who has used it as a pigs trough. It’s an itv, a card factory, a relic, empty estate agents offices and some idiots driving around in mini’s covered in what looks like a tired brand. The U.K. is facing a hardcore recession and as the U.K. has relative debt issues worse that Greece I can’t see anymore stupid schemes to subsidise house buying. It was getting better before brexit, shares up to 110 I think, then the self harming brexit fiasco put it in the toilet with all other U.K. stocks and sterling and this is where we are, now juiced by covid and Putin. Buy some Microsoft and Goog, quality denominated in USD that double every 5 or six years. Ftse 100 now same price as Dec 1999. Shocking and in terminal decline. Real problems ahead and fat Boris and the brexit loonies won’t be much help.

ITV is a terminal business, it has a declining business model. Jesus this U.K. listed dross is death anyway especially since brexit, but its like buying bricks and mortar retailers when amazon were coming down the tracks. It isnt a cheap share becos it has no growth, they are going to have to spend every penny on content and they still wont be able to even slightly compete. All advertising is moving to digital, its why wpp are fxxked. Ftse 100 full of terminal dross hence only 300 points now above where it was 21 years ago. You would be better buying bitcoin than this sorry shxt.

No not just made up, the investment they need to make will suck that in from cash and then some. The city has already worked that out, 30pc, HENCE THE 30PC FALL IN SHARE PRICE YOU SIMPLE FXCK. This will be back at covid lows, and stay there, dump it. It’s a dog, another Woodford style back brexit britain black hole investment.

Seriously doubt they will be able to pay that dividend for long, 30/40 pc drop in profits slated for next year. This is where ITV ( and shxtty bbc ) hit the wall against Netflix/Amazon/Disney etc. They don’t have the financial firepower and should have hooked up with or sold out to a major player years ago, the CEO has always been crxp, she was useless at Easyjet. Who watches TV anymore anyway? The whole dog index of the world ftse 100 FULL of this capital destructive, growth-less dross, it was bad before brexit and has been dire since, then covid. FFs make life easy for yourselves, buy Amzn, Apple, Msft etc, they double every seven years or so, U.K. crap just halves every ten years ( faster in itv’s case ) can’t believe I used to own this at 235, I sold it at 168 for a loss because I though Netflix was coming on strong. I dont think the U.K. indexes are investable anymore.

Jesus sought out your spelling, did you go to school?? Re Vod, back to 110 ish, Cevian wont lift the price they are not a big enough investor, shares are below the value of Vod ‘ ( massive ) debt.. Dividend will likely be cut again, telecoms now in terminal decline having their profits regulated away and too much competition. If Elon Musk’ starlink takes off most of these players are soon doomed. Russian sanctions will backfire as they always do, europe and U.K. in for even poorer performance ( U.K. index only 500 points above where it was 21 years ago, and don't cite dividends, not much point buying 5 pc yield a year when you lose half your capital ). Money will flow to strongest market and most liquid currency, US market and USD. I’d dump Vod while you can still get over a quid for it and buy Msft, Amzn and Goog.

The obsession with yield with U.K. investors is absurd. All this dividend stuff has been a disaster, all the financials are less than half the price they were 12 years ago, fags, even U.K. oil companies, BT, Vod, ITV, the list is endless, WHAT is the point of buying yield when you lose half your capital. BUY GROWTH ffs. You make much more owning the likes of Msft or Goog doubling in price over say 7 years than picking up yield but losing half ( or more ) of your capital. The U.K. market is a fxxking graveyard for investors, look at what has happened to even Lindsell Train backing dogs like HL and Ulvr and Pearson. Woodford and his back brexit britain lunatic investing. Buy yourself some blue chip big tech and growth denominated in USD and stop self harming. These companies like itv are in TERMINAL DECLINE. The other problem is most of these sanctions going on against Russia will backfire in Europe and U.K., they always do, the U.K. economy is heading for the wall on a number of levels not least parabolic inflation/energy/taxes/interest rates, it writes itself. Buying falling knives hoping someone might take it over or a 5 pc yield? Jesus h tapdancing Christ wise up.

Terminal rubbish even by dog index of the world brexit wrecked ftse 100. Carolyn McCall A disaster wherever she has been. This is a .50p stock. Buy US growth, U.K. uninvestable dross priced in a perma declining currency.

Could do without Zelensky trying to drag everyone else into ww3. NATO stuff on Russia border was a red rag to a bull and pxss take, usa didn’t like it with Russia and Cuba ( Cuban missile crisis ) . Need this resolved or this like Eurasian natural resources will be taken private for pennies, shareholder wipeout, and relisted. This is too dodgy to own right now, total wipeout of value possible.

Will end up being taken private and re listed in Moscow down the line. Shareholders will be wiped out. Same as with Eurasian natural resources. U.K. dividend shxt is terminal, stick to msft and Amzn.

Shxt results, shrinking business, this is heading back to 350 post dividend, it is growthless, a lot of smoke and mirrors in those results. Basically giving investors their own money back. Just shows how pointless chasing ftse dividend rubbish is. Over next five years goog shares will double, this will be lucky if it is still in businesss. Has lost half its value in 12 years, dire. Ftse 100 450 points above where it was 21 years ago. Stick to US growth stocks, in fact you would be better in btc than capital destructive crxp like this.

What a load of naive drivel you idiots write on here, you're all too thick to understand geo politics, stick to buying dogsxxt like HL shares. At least with the Russian market tanking the U.K. is not THE worst market in the world anymore.

This crxp is going to zero, Foxtons has no value. Yield curve on bonds is inverted, hardcore recession en route, parabolic taxes, inflation and low pay, property market will slump 30 pc over next two years, house builders already sold off and still falling, it writes itself.

This has turned into a real dog since Andy Briggs got involved, the dipstick chairman taking off to be mayor of london, what a joke. Too many shares coming on the market for this from poxy abrdn and other institutions, the ftse 100 really is a total dog of an index, either terminal banks telcos and other assorted dross with no growth dying a slow death or your dividend stuff like mng and direct line and phnx etc that have become equally dire. Just think its an index to steer clear of, it was rubbish before brexit but much worse since. Hoot to see HL getting hammered, so much for their brexit backing majority shareholder and his new Jerusalem, HL shares cut in half.

I took my money and my family and moved to Andorra after brexit vote, best move I ever made, getting out of that damp self harming depressing dump.

Told you all this was a pile of shxt. That’s the end of Chris Hill. Being a 100 remain voter loving seeking Peter Hargreaves the total brexit fraud getting hammered. One of the reasons ftse 100 is the utter dog index it is now is because of brexit.

Exited BT at last, omg relief. Basically a giant pension deficit with a telecoms attached. Open reach worth 2 quid a share, the rest doesnt even have a value that matches the debt. Another ftse 100 dog. If Drahi exits this is back to 140 and I cant see him hanging around for years while BT endlessly spunk money into fibre that wont get a return for a decade.

Jesus the market cap of this is 10 pc lower than its debts. A credit junkie company with little growth and a declining business model, terrible ceo, perfect for dog index ftse 100. I can’t see how dividend doesn’t get cut again, shares at nosebleed levels at 1.38, quid a share seems generous, every Vod street shop I walk past is empty, should have flogged Italy off at least try to pay down some debt. Assume pick up due to outside interest that would look at break up. God this dividend stuff has been a terror ride, in the time the likes of amazon have 4xd their shares buying U.K. dividends has cost most people half their capital. Buy growth.

Only thing that will save this now is Nelson from Trian. The whole ftse is dross, was dying anyway along with sterling and brexit was the the final nail, only 600 points above where it was 21 years ago. Shocking. Stick to buying US growth.

Those brokers targets still look generous to me, S&N still trading on 18x earnings, and it’s listed on the dog index of the world, the brexit damaged ftse 100 at 600 points only above where it was 21 years ago ffs, why bother? It s a dog. Nobody buys U.K. shares anymore, capital destructive rubbish. The NHS is a useless black hole, if U.K. moved towards an insurance system this would be 40 quid a share.
