BT Group (ISIN GB0030913577) is facing a lower Barclays target of GBp 155, down from GBp 165, after the broker retained its Underweight rating on October 20, 2026, as Yahoo Finance reported. BT Group stock was trading at EUR 2.57 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 6:36 p.m. CEST.
Cash flow remains the key measure
S&P Global Ratings affirmed BT Group's BBB/A-2 ratings on October 1, 2026. Its assessment projects adjusted free cash flow of GBP 1.20 billion in fiscal 2026 and GBP 1.67 billion in fiscal 2027, while adjusted EBITDA margin is forecast to rise from 39.7 percent to 44.8 percent.
The same assessment puts BT Group's fiscal 2026 revenue at GBP 19.6 billion and adjusted EBITDA at GBP 7.8 billion. It also identifies a structural constraint: fiscal 2026 line losses reached 825,000, with 800,000 more expected in fiscal 2027.
Stock stays below its yearly high
BT Group's Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 2.57 on October 27, 2026 can be compared with the EUR 2.75 high cited for October 24, 2026. On the London Stock Exchange, the share-price range for the 52 weeks to October 22, 2026 was GBp 173.00 to GBp 242.09, while the quoted price was GBp 211.70.
Results date sets the next marker
BT Group's investor-relations calendar lists November 5, 2026 for the H1 FY27 results webcast. The date gives investors a defined checkpoint for the revenue trend, fiber rollout, cost savings and cash generation that underpin the current analyst debate.
What the target cut changes
The Barclays move sets a more cautious valuation marker in pence, while the wider consensus remains at GBp 224.35 from 17 analysts, according to ADVFN on October 22, 2026. The gap between the individual target and the consensus makes the November results especially relevant for judging whether cash-flow progress can offset pressure on revenue.
