It has formed the bullish cup-and-handle pattern, pointing to a rebound this year.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BT Group reaches major deal with NIE<\/h2>\n<p>BT share price rose on Tuesday after announcing a surprise deal with NIE, a top utility company in Northern Ireland.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The deal, worth $200 million, will see it provide a suite of products, including network infrastructure and cybersecurity solutions. Also, it will be responsible for ensuring services and support across the business. The company\u2019s CEO said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith our experience in supporting critical services and our long-standing presence in Northern Ireland, we are in a unique position to provide the secure, trusted connectivity and specialist expertise that will help strengthen the network for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BT Group\u2019s business is continuing its turnaround efforts<\/h2>\n<p>The BT share price has jumped by over 20% from its lowest level in November last year, helped by the ongoing turnaround efforts. It is also facing some major challenges, including the loss of broadband subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>The most <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2026\/01\/08\/bt-group-share-price-forecast-2026-faces-elevated-risks\/\">recent results<\/a> showed that the company&#8217;s revenue dropped to \u00a34.97 billion in the third quarter from \u00a35.13 billion in the same period a year earlier.<\/p>\n<p>This slowdown was mostly because of its international business, whose revenue dropped by 14% to \u00a3522 million. The company has been reducing its presence abroad in a bid to focus on its local business. For example, it sold its US business last year to 22nd Century Technologies.<\/p>\n<p>BT Group\u2019s business segment also continued slowing, with its revenue dropping by 6% to \u00a31.92 billion. This segment has been under pressure for years because of the rising competition and the struggling legacy voice business.<\/p>\n<p>BT Group&#8217;s consumer segment made \u00a32.468 billion, down by 1% from the same period a year earlier. Its profitability also retreated, with the consumer, business, and international EBITDA falling by 1%, 11%, and 7%, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The company shed over 210k broadband customers, and now expects to lose 850k in the full year, lower than the previous guidance. This slowdown was offset by a surge in its Openreach business, whose customers jumped to 21 million.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent consensus document shows that its annual revenue will be \u00a319.6 billion, down by 3.4% YoY. Its annual EBITDA is expected to come in at \u00a38\u20192 billion, flat from the previous year.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BT Group share price technical analysis<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><\/figure>\n<p><em>BT stock price chart | Source: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/LSE-BT.A\/\"><em>TradingView<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The daily chart shows that the BT Group stock price has rebounded in the past few months, moving from a low of 171p in November last year to the current 206p.<\/p>\n<p>A closer look shows that it has formed a cup-and-handle pattern, which is a common bullish continuation sign in technical analysis. It has already completed the cup section and is now in the handle section.<\/p>\n<p>The stock remains above the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). It has also formed a harami candle, which often leads to a recovery. Harami is a two-candle pattern that forms when a big bearish candle is followed by a smaller bullish one.<\/p>\n<p>If this happens, the next key target level to watch will be at 216p, the upper side of the cup. A move above that level will point to more gains, possibly to the next major target at 250p. This rebound will likely happen after its full-year earnings report in May.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2026\/03\/25\/bt-share-price-cup-handle-pattern-forms-will-it-jump-to-250\/\">BT share price cup &amp; handle pattern forms: will it jump to 250?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\">Invezz<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BT Group share price rose by over 3% after the company reached a new \u00a3200 million deal with Northern Ireland Electricity Networks (NIE).
