Yeh you’re right at these prices the dividend yield is still quite attractive.
Another 9.5m buyback today. With 1.8bn in treasury 25.449bn shares outstanding I suspect we will see another cancellation in the next few weeks.
I wonder what they are aiming for as a target for shares in issue? With another 2bn for buy backs we should be getting to 22bn ish by the time they have finished

Not long to go till dividend payment day. I wonder how much they have “saved” in dividend payments by doing buybacks?
Oh dear big drop today guys. I read the ONS and it didn’t seem too bad to me stable revenue and additional buybacks. Oh well chance to buy more on the cheap I suppose
Bought some this morning with bat dividend at 66p thinking the sp wouldn’t go any lower, now 65p 
I haven’t bought any vf for a long time maybe it’s time to top up, at least to get my average under 80p
Happy dividend payment day everyone.
Vodafone are going gangsters on the buy backs right now, nearly 75m shares bought back in the last 3 days.
Money received just waiting on the notification
Another 28m bought back on Friday one more day and we will be at 2billion shares in issue. I wonder if we will see a cancellation at some point this week?
Another 10 days and the shares in issue will be under 10 days and shares in issue will be under 25 billion.

Vodafone share price is plummeting, what’s going on? This ‘turn-around’ isn’t materialising. Any thoughts? 
I think we need to be patient with this one. They are currently streamlining the business selling parts off paying off debts and doing buy backs.
Hopefully we will be left with a smaller more profitable company.
We also have the 3 merger to look forward to although I reckon Vodafone will just buy them out.
I don’t think we will ever see 1.40+ for a long time (unless the Africa market booms) but I can see this getting to the 80-85p mark by the end of 2025. In the meantime I have faith this company will continue to trade so I have no issue taking the dividend until then.

The buy back seems to have slowed down to a trickle. I was hoping we’d be under 25 billion shares in issue by now.

Another nice rise for Vodafone today. It seems they have cancelled nearly a billion shares they had in treasury recently which is the reason for the rise.
In the past few days I’ve bought over 3000 shares nearly doubling my holdings in Vodafone. I’ve managed to get my average under 80p so I’m happy. I reckon Vodafone will come good in the long term but at least in the short term the sp is stable. Next target 10000 shares for sometime next year
We broke 70p happy days
Buyback update we are now down to 24.9 billion shares in issue. That’s a buyback of over a billion shares since November.
I wonder how much is left of the buy back pot. Will we end at 24.5 billion shares in issue?
Great buying opportunity for Vodafone can’t go wrong at under 70p. Also 10 million shares bought back today the highest I’ve seen for a while.
Wow what a difference 5 days make. Excellent news for shareholders.
Judging by the spike in share price I’m guessing this wasn’t expected.
To top it off another 2 billion euro buy back. Might be a bit ambitious but here’s hoping we can get the shares in issue under the 24 billion mark.
I’m glad I doubled my holding when I had the chance. If the merger with 3 is confirmed I can see this hitting 90p maybe even 1 pound per share. Have you seen the pb ratio for this share 0.39!
Update after reading the accounts. Net debt is 10 billion lower than last year (22 billion euros now).
Financing costs are 700 million euros lower than last year as well!
All in all the p+l hasn’t really improved but the company is certainly much healthier now.
