BT Group share price has crashed in the past few weeks, moving from the year-to-date high of 218p to the current 194p. It has moved to the lowest level since July 24 this year, but is still up by over 48% higher than the year-to-date low. Here are some of the top reasons why it has plunged and whether it will rebound. <\/p>\n

BT Group share price has plunged because of profit-taking<\/h2>\n

One of the main reasons why the BT share price has plunged in the past few days is that investors are booking profits after a highly successful start of the year. <\/p>\n

BT started the year at 134p and then surged to a high of 218p. At its peak, it was up by 135% from its lowest level in 2024. It is common for an asset to pull back or have a retracement after having a strong surge in a while.<\/p>\n

This performance is in line with what has happened with the FTSE 100 Index, which has pulled back a bit from the year-to-date high of \u00a39,356 to the current \u00a39,235. <\/p>\n

BT’s financial results and growing capital expenditure <\/h2>\n

The BT share price has also retreated after it published its first-quarter results<\/a>, which showed that its business was struggling across the board.<\/p>\n

BT Group\u2019s consumer revenue dropped by 3% in the quarter to \u00a32.32 billion, while its business segment dropped by 6% to \u00a31.8 billion. The business segment has constantly underperformed the other businesses because of the robust competition in the industry.<\/p>\n

BT Group stock also plunged after its profitability worsened. The pre-tax profit was \u00a3468 million, down by 10% from the same period last year because of high financing costs and depreciation.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the company announced a boost in capital expenditure that was higher than expected. It plans to spend about \u00a35 billion this year, higher than the consensus.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, analysts have also downgraded its outlook. The median revenue estimate<\/a> for the second quarter is \u00a34.97 billion, down by 2.2% from the same period last year. <\/p>\n

Analysts also expect that its full-year revenue will be \u00a319.9 billion, down by 2.2% from last year. The annual revenue will likely remain in this range in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Still, on the positive side, the company is cutting costs and slowing its OpenReach spending in the coming years. <\/p>\n

BT Group stock price technical analysis <\/h2>\n

Technicals have also contributed to the ongoing BT Group stock price dip. The decline happened after it formed a double-top pattern at 217.3p. This is one of the most bearish patterns in technical analysis. <\/p>\n

The stock has moved below the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages, while the MACD and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) have continued falling. <\/p>\n

Therefore, the most likely scenario is where the stock will continue falling as sellers target the support at 180p. The alternative scenario is where the stock rebounds and hits the year-to-date high of 218p.<\/p>\n
