About BT.A

BT Group is the incumbent telecommunications operator in the U.K. It is the owner of Openreach, the largest fixed-line network in the U.K. Openreach operates as a separate entity due to regulatory requirements but is still 100% owned by BT. Since 2020 Openreach has accelerated its fiber investments and expects to have 90% of the U.K. covered with FTTH by 2026. In the consumer division, BT has approximately 30% market share in broadband and mobile services. The enterprise segment serves large corporations while the global services division provides communications consultancy services.

Whether the turnaround will be successful in the long term remains to be seen. And this is a risk investor need to consider before making an investment decision.

Yes. BT Group shares pay a cash dividend at an average 38% payout ratio. Dividends were cancelled in early 2020 due to the pandemic. However, in early 2022, dividend payments resumed.
