France Telecom (ADR) (FTE)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company provides consumers, businesses and other telecommunications operators with a range of services including fixed telephony and mobile telecommunications, data transmission, Internet and multimedia, and other value-added services.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Boring, old France Telecom doesnt innovate but sports a hot dividend. Telecoms innovated a lot, now it's time to get profits. Bandwith increase gets fairly cheap since all the investment in fiber optics is already done, nowadays upgrades are done just replacing the transmissors with faster ones, but...More

Growing well in emerging markets, French banks expect 20% down and less than 30% mortgage payments, nice dividend, nice cash no debt.

Plain and simple, I like France. I like french fries, 35 hour work weeks, the Eiffel Tour, Cannes and France Telecom. What isn't to love. While VZ and T and S still fight over the USA, FTE can have France. But that isn't all, like the other big 3 European telecoms (VOD and DT being the others), FTE is going into other markets.

I like FTE the best because they are going to initially harder markets in Africa and SE Asia, but I think these plays will pay huge dividends. Speaking of which, FTE also sports a great dividend of around 10%, much more than debt ridden VOD.

J'aime France Telecom!

If dividend is maintained it could easily beat it.
