We need to see a string of quarterly results that prove the case. Personally I think the long game is £2-3 per share, but that's over 2-3 years. It could also be that the dividend lags the growth in the SP. Overall if you look at the BT price for a kind of comparison, Vodafone has a lot of room for rapid growth. Both my eyes on July 25th

I reckon signs of recovery in Germany. My bet is 85p by the end of July. Could spike higher but anything above won't hold

4,700 tons pa x £30k per ton = £141m pa revenue. Obviously some variation but is that a fair calculation?

Vodafone came from a very low point. BT has risen a lot in the last year. It might be worth a bit more of a rise but there's bad news coming from America today. Apparently there's a group of idiots running the country. My guess is that the share price will drop slightly and then recover. It's a good divi share. Always attracts a crowd

It would be nice to hear viewpoints about Vodafone, rather than people sneering at each other. For the people squabbling over who's the smartest, the answer is none of you. Just empty voices clogging up an investor discussion board. I ask you all, post your thoughts, ask questions of each other's posts, but shut your yap after you disagree once. You know it's just going to get personal and nasty beyond that point

The increase in dividend is needed because the results are a bit underwhelming.

This was approved the other day. I'm pretty sure the rise is because of this. Share plans usually involve shares being bought and placed in Trust until the employee fulfils X years of service.

I wonder if the stampede into American stocks is reversing now that Trump is in office?

Steady as she goes. This really feels a safe investment, despite being a startup.

I used to sell Mitel phone systems for BT. Hated them. They didn't have a LAN proposition so you had to buy HP switches to make them work properly. Anything else, Cisco etc would create problems and Mitel product team couldn't help. Om The other hand they were very good at paying for drinks and picking up restaurant tabs

I'm as bad as typist as i am an investor. 2,000.

I sold all but 2 of mine today. Took the hit as I reckon this is no short term blip. I'll buy back at £1.10

******* popups. anyway, the way i see it, it's the company strategy, execution and performance that matters over time. vodafone are very diverse which is a good or bad thing depending on how you see it. i think too much emphasis is placed on germany and not enough on opportunities for growth in eastern europe and the middle east. maybe one day we'll trade with russia. who knows. these things are inconceivable to state telcos like bt, but the world is fair game to vodafone. so long as they have the propositions and the means to market and deliver profitably. i like companies who can spread the risk. i can't understand the attraction of bt. a one trick pony if ever there was one

Marcus, my view is that the sh

I don't think this share is treated fairly. I see BT doing better despite their evident decline. Vodafone are in growth. Yes they have been a mess but not now. Yes Germany is struggling but the majority of the business looks increasingly robust. I'm holding and may add in a couple of months.

Unlucky Investor. The negative reasons out forward are not speculative platitudes. The only substantiated concern is debt, but that is diminishing. It seems a safe bet to me that the operating costs will reduce with AI. and that means a greater percentage of investment costs coming from organic sources. Vodafone may have exited some markets, but they are also expanding, technologically and in growth areas around Eastern Europe and the Middle East. I'm holding, not just for dividends but also to see the share price rising. It might not be spectacular, but as time goes by the current price is seeming more and more false. I'm enjoying the turnaround. It's a huge complex job and MdV has been admirable in her delivery

71.5p for me please

I'm looking for both, but not necessarily from the same share. I've got growth stocks that are pretty much a gamble and dividend stocks that I may never sell. Dibi

I support a football team who sacked their managers every six months. Did them no good at all. Only when they stopped did they start to make progress. MdV has been excellent. Imagine if Vodafone had not exited Spain & Italy, and they had declined too? Doesn't bear thinking about and we used to have a CEO who couldn't restructure to save himself. Credit to MdV for completing the job on schedule. Now we have a business in growth despite Germany. That's how resilient Vodafone have become in a very short space of time. Lots of challenges ahead but still - corner turned, bullet dodged
