written by December 19, 2024

Investing.com — Shares of BT Group PLC (LSE:LON:BT.A) edged up by 1% today following the dismissal of a class action claim alleging overcharging for landline services.

The Competition Appeal Tribunal ruled in favor of the company, stating that while pricing was found to be excessive, it did not breach competition law.

The claim, which sought damages of approximately £1.3 billion on behalf of 3.7 million consumer customers, was a significant concern for shareholders.

The tribunal’s decision today removed a major legal overhang for the telecommunications giant, providing relief to investors and potentially restoring confidence in the company’s stock.

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) analyst Terence Tsui commented on the outcome, stating, “The case was an overhang for the shares, so the outcome is positive.”
