Hi guys I'm in today for the divis.
Am I dumb?

I am expecting a reduced dividend.. may be 5 cents.

I was assuming that but maybe not this time?

Well, given there are more shares outstanding now...even if they paid out the same amount as the interim dividend, it would end up dropping (on a per-share basis) to 7 cents.

Let's see what Martin has to say tomorrow. After the RP purchase, and with SANZAAR rugby rights etc coming up for tender soon, I imagine the final dividend could be reduced to make sure the Balance Sheet is strong.

People buying the stock for dividends might be disappointed if that is the case.
The long-term investor, however, won't give a sh1t. If the money can be used more effectively by the company (as opposed to distributing as a payment that is subject to tax to the shareholder) then the company should retain the capital in my view.

Yes, the wall is in trouble. (watching Game of Thrones (S8) at the moment)
The main reason I would consider SKY is for Live Sport. For me that is the key to their survival.

Is it confirmed that Sky NZ will lose the rights to broadcast Disney shows once Disney+ is live in NZ?

Or do that just have non-exclusive rights to Disney, meaning consumers will be able to watch Disney as part of their Sky Basic package, NEON or go to Disney+ direct?

I'm really surprised it's happening so soon, and that there hasn't been an announcement by SKY.
Will they still have the Disney channel?
Will they still get broadcast rights to Disney Group Movies?
Does it change the cost of their rights if it's no longer exclusive?
Will they have a partnership with Disney to offer Disney+ cheaper to SKY subscribers?
Will Disney partner with Lightbox like they've done with Hulu in the States?

All of this will have an impact on revenue/costs and therefore share value. And if SKY doesn't have the answer to all of those questions, then what have they been doing for the last 12 months?

Sobering for shareholders and investors who invested for yield - final dividend cut from 15c to 12.5c to 7.5c to zero!

Back to the early days when Sky paid no dividends when its focus was on building up subscriber numbers?

Let's do the time warp again!

The divie made SKT look attractive.
No divie, SKT share price may look rather ugly.
