BT Group shares forecast: Can GBX 220 support hold ahead of earnings?
BT Group shares are giving back some of their recent gains as attention shifts towards the upcoming results. With the half-year report approaching, the risk of sharper price swings is starting to increase.

BT Group will publish its first-half FY2027 results on 5 November, according to the company’s official financial calendar. Investors will be watching cash flow, capital expenditure and the performance of Openreach particularly closely.
According to BT Group’s consensus estimates, analysts expect second-quarter revenue of £4.314 billion, down 1.0% year on year, and adjusted EBITDA of £2.022 billion, a decline of 0.4%. For FY2027 as a whole, normalised free cash flow is forecast at around £2 billion, with capital expenditure of £4.36 billion.
BT Group shares risk further losses if GBX 220 support breaks
BT Group shares have followed the scenario outlined previously. The price slipped below GBX 225 and pulled back to GBX 221, stopping just short of the GBX 220 target.
GBX 220 is now the key support level. If the shares break below it and remain there, the risk of a deeper decline towards GBX 217–215 would rise sharply.
The stock also remains relatively stretched after the recent rally. RSI (14) has moved out of overbought territory but is still holding at elevated levels.
A reminder for short-term traders: carrying positions overnight ahead of the results is particularly risky. The report could trigger a wide price gap, so it may be safer to wait for the market’s initial reaction before considering fresh positions.
Earnings uncertainty puts risk management first
With the report approaching, risk management becomes especially important for short-term traders. Even a strong set of results may not be enough to lift the shares if market expectations are already too high.
Weak numbers or cautious guidance, meanwhile, could trigger a sharp repricing. In that environment, trying to anticipate the direction of the move before the release carries elevated risk. Waiting for the results and the first market reaction remains the more cautious approach.
