Here; viewtopic.php?p=418517#p418517

I believe that some HYPers hold BT Group in their HYPs, so this item may be of interest to them.

Yes, very, very interesting. Several of my HYP shares have unexpectedly started to do well and ended up in a takeover situation. E.g. John Laing, RSA, things like Royal Mail have taken off after performing badly for a long time. TalkTalk taken over for an absolute bargain price :-(

BT seems to have a large barrier to entry for competitors and it’s quite carefully regulated which reduces risk for me. Probably will not shoot the lights out but it’s been good value for a long time.

I notice BT are up over 6% today, and are up over 43% since the turn of the year...

Life in the old dog yet, it seems...

Cheers,

Yes BT has performed very well since its share price depths of around 100p. From a purely capital perspective I am very pleased I did not sell out of BT, but rather held my nerve and held onto my shares. Though overall I am still down in capital terms.

I am not sure the news of this investment is necessarily all good for anyone currently taking an income from their portfolio. The buyer seems focussed on long term growth and may well therefore have an influence on management to reinvest in the business rather than restart paying dividends to shareholders.

Do folks see BT as a hedge against inflation?
Higher interest rates would significantly reduce their pension burden, which would lead to a re-rating of the share.
No idea of the sensitivity of this versus their debt load.
