BT Group recovery

BT Group stock has been in a strong bullish trend in the past few months as investors focus on the company’s turnaround strategy. The most important part of this strategy was the decision to boost its broadband and mobile rates.

In a statement, the company said that it will hike prices by about 14%, in line with the consumer price index (CPI) plus 3.9%. In all, customers will pay about 58 pounds more per year. Therefore, the company is expected to see higher revenues and profits in the coming months. 

The most recent results showed that the company’s revenue slipped by 1% to £15.5 billion in the nine months to December. Its profit before tax also dropped by 15% to £1.3 billion while the profit before tax jumped to £1.32 billion.

The other important telecom news in the industry was the upcoming merger of Three and Vodafone. The combination will create the second-biggest telecommunication company. Vodafone and Three are now the third and fourth networks in the country. Still, the impact of this merge on BT will be minimal.
