Hi Dan, well it's a nice thought but i think you know the only thing that influences me is seeing the share price rising, i realise the changes won't happen overnight, but let's hope it will start going in the right direction, everything's a bit unsettled at the moment
best of luck
Rob. I think the new C.E.O. can improve the share price, but it is not by buying millions of vod shares with her own money, it is by running vod well, not by hyping the sp. Garonne has been invested in vod for 1 year, so has a lot to learn. Deutsche Bank predicted £2.50 plus many years ago as I did , but we both got it wrong. Deutsche bank are the house broker for vod, so will always hype, but they may be right of course, let's hope so.
Maybe you'll get another chance to sell at £1.40, robleo. Deutsche Bank think so. Keep the faith. 👍
Gar, let's hope so, i do think £1 is achievable here but lets hope we don't have to wait too long, personally though i wouldn't over indulge in a share that's yet to prove it change direction, but that's only my opinion i don't expect anyone to agree with me, dividends are good but not when it's at the expense of capital erosion, twice i had the chance to sell this for 140 but held on hoping for more, never thought this would drop back to the 60s, i should have invested in a good crystal ball, let's hope the new CEO can improve the share price it won't happen overnight
I only started investigating here last year robleo, initially at 90p, which quickly went up to over a pound and then the descent began! But, to me if it was worth £1 a share just over a year ago, then it must be worth at least that now, following recent changes. It is very frustrating being stuck at these low levels but I feel once interest rates start to move down this could move up, significantly. BT is recovering so why not VOD? Let's hope we all have some better fortune here going forward.
Garonne, I'm not sure what you are hoping to get from this share? I fear your expectations may be too high, this has been under performing for years in a very competitive market, hopefully it's currently under valued and i can get close to 90p my offloading price preferably before next years dividend cut, will it get there i just don't know, most of my shares are under performing right now, just hoping things will improve when interest rates start reducing, but best of luck i hope you get rewarded for your investment here
Every time folks get their hopes up that a slight recovery may be happening, down she goes! Mind you the general market malaise is not helping. God help us if Marine Le Pen's National Rally tops the vote in France this Sunday. If that happens Monday will be a blood bath.
Moore teribble pane for ocado stocke hollders toodaye. Deffinittely one too avvoid I is finking.
Jus downt bye em I wuldunt.
Downt be temmpted, they is goin downe .
Browker target £2.15 butt I finks they is heading for zero.
Sorry a little bit eager there to put my message on, it should have been 0.01 :-)
I’ve just seen it have an impact on the sp. It’s just ticked up by 0.1 of a penny :-)

Sale of shares to satisfy tax withholding obligation....
Apologies, just noticed that further down the page. Thanks.
That's the first two entries, Kev. Scroll down for the purchases.
"Vesting of performance and retention shares as part of the Global Long Term Incentive (GLTI) and Global Long Term Retention (GLTR) plans for Senior Leadership Team members."
I'd say it's neither nonsensical or misleading.
Any recommendation should be treated with caution, but surely if an analyst is going to make a share price prediction/recommendation, they will include their reasoning to add weight to it. The German cable-TV unbundling etc. are unfolding events that could have a material impact on the share price one way or the other. They are not in the rear view mirror and the true extent won't be known until later in the year, so are legitimate causes of ongoing concern/speculation.
"I think it makes sense to buy back notes expiring in 2037 and 2043, if one thinks interest rates will go down. I do not understand why Vodafone is also buying notes expiring in 2025. Anyway, this decision should impact positively on the stock price"
Arguably, what you have written is more questionable. By your own admission, you don't understand why Vodafone is buying up notes expiring in 2025 but still state that it should impact positivity on the share price rather than this already being factored into the price as it is.
Some large purchases by directors have been announced today. Maybe this is an attempt to persuade the markets that the stock is undervalued. Which in my opinion it is. Certainly they're showing they have confidence in their strategy.
KewRow you are right, it is worse than nonsensical, it is intentionally misleading, precisely because Vodafone recognized already on May 14 (see the article you mention) that the new regulation would have a significant impact.
That information should already be incorporated in the current prices.
Reiterating the same bad news again and again is a typical technic used for coordinated attacks.
"probably the price movement yesterday was a consequence of Beremberg’s nasty (and in my opinion rather nonsensical) comments…"
They were negative but I wouldn't say nonsensical?
The two main points seemed to be that growth will take a hit due to German cable-TV unbundling and consumer price index-linked pricing meaning they won't be able to put up their prices by as much. Both of which seem reasonable and the main discussion would be to what extent they will hit growth, or if they can find growth elsewhere/cut enough costs to mitigate.
Vodafone seem to have a similar view:
https://www.standard.co.uk/business/vodafone-lose-4-million-customers-germany-regulatory-change-to-contracts-b1157575.html
"Vodafone today said it was set to lose more than 4 million customers in Germany as the telecoms giant prepared for a 400 million euro (£340 million) knock from regulatory change in its biggest market."
I know the main subject here is Guttersnipe.
Sorry for introducing a different one.
I think it makes sense to buy back notes expiring in 2037 and 2043, if one thinks interest rates will go down. I do not understand why Vodafone is also buying notes expiring in 2025. Anyway, this decision should impact positively on the stock price; probably the price movement yesterday was a consequence of Beremberg’s nasty (and in my opinion rather nonsensical) comments…
Gutter,
Thanks for all your messages! You've got a unique way with words—it's like Shakespeare met autocorrect in a dark alley! I'm trying to wrap my head around your trading ordeals. Are we talking about a Shakespearean tragedy, or is it more of a comedy of errors? Either way, I'd love to hear your master plan for Vod stock!
Gutter, take some advice from my wife, and stick to the building society and premium bonds, this share will put you in an early grave, we are all getting worried about you, you as you seem very confused
GutterSnipe, you poor soul, you've had a very stressful day, just make yourself a nice cup of tea and have it with a few biscuits. Put a wee drop of brandy in it and Relax Relax Relax you poor lad !!
stop writing **** english,you making yourself a laughing stock
GutterSnipe
Every single UK stock got hammered today. Nothing to do with vodafone shares. Figure it out mate
Funny how the feed has load of green filtered messages on a down day but hardly ever on an up day - maybe its fluke that those are the days he is let out of the nutty farm
