SPK- Spark NZ (TELCO)

[peat]

business as usual with hoped for small incremental growth combined with cost savings and increased free cash flow to support dividends

well there is the obvious , focus on wireless and 5g , kind of stuff , but I still dont know whether they are a content provider or not and I am reading that as NOT part of their main strategy anymore despite sill having Spark Sport.

The announcement meant another round of redundancy in the background. And this time it will be huge.

A very lightweight announcement overall, nothing to inspire. A lot of words about culture and diversity and ensuring 40% or roles are filled by women, 40% by men.... TBH and expecting a backlash here for lack of political correctness - I couldn't care less what gender, ethnicity, sexual preference a person is in any role, only thing that counts is whether they have the skills and capabilities to do the job!

lot of fluff alright around diversity etc but as for growth the push into healthcare space looks interesting if they can do it. 1 billion potential market they reckon

Is that the same as making stuff up?

still useful to have diversity though, just like a portfolio in my opinion.
(unless you believe in diworsification that is, eh Mav)

not really lol. some times the truth isnt what is said, and it needs to be unravelled , and some people are better at doing that than other. whether you think RGR is good at that is up to you. Certain contributors have proved their skills in this strategic area. Not me tho I tend to read what is written and just try to simplify it into something meaningful.
