BT Group shares slumped as much as 8% on a report that Sky would invest in Virgin Media O2’s broadband plans.
BT Group BT.A, -5.19% fell as the Sunday Telegraph said Sky is closing on on a deal to back the fiber rollout, a threat to BT’s Openreach. Virgin Media O2 is a venture between Liberty Global LBTYA, -2.99% and Telefonica TEF, +0.53%, and Sky is owned by Comcast CMCSA, +2.29%. Analysts at UBS say a fiber JV/cable wholesale combined could add more than £300 million of EBITDA to VMO2 and was worth more than $3.5/Liberty Global share. The same analysis said BT could lose over £600 million of “very high margin” revenue or some 30 pence per BT share.Broader European stock markets saw little movement in afternoon trade.
U.K. supermarket chains including J Sainsbury SBRY, +3.66% rose after the weekend auction for Wm. Morrison MRW, -3.74%, which saw Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, submit the winning bid with a 287 pence per share, or £7.1 billion offer.
