Large wireless shares not only in France but in UK, Spain, Poland. Also has Orange brand Internet service. I like the numbers: 9.6 fwd CF, 1.7 PB, less than one Price to Sales and a dividend above 5 with way more FCF to cover it and FCF steadily growing. ROE above 16 and I could go on. It has been lagging and at some point is likely to move up nicely. I put real $ in.

Their Orange division merging with DT's T-Mobile is sure to benefit them both, and with such a high dividend...why not buy?

A safe place (balance sheet) to stick your money in uncertain times. Also I like the dividend yield.

High yield strategy: TMFHighYield says to look for "high dividend payers from the S&P 500 from diverse sectors, relatively low debt, and a history of increasing dividend payments." This is my technology pick.

Given how I think the dollar will perform against the euro (poorly) and the dividend, I'll rate this an outperform.

Since their acquisition of Orange business services last year, FTE has been earning accolades from their customers. Despite the European downturn, I think this stock is now below fair value.

Some pluses
French government still owns a significant stake in FTE. It is likely the government will want to keep getting the dividend in these tough economic times.
FTE has exposure to Africa where growth can be expected to continue even in times of trouble in the developed world. FTE's operations in Eastern Europe should also outperform Western Europe.
FTE got out of Argentina already in 2003
Orange is a strong brand comparable to Vodafone
When would I sell: If FTE tries again to buy TeliaSonera or another major operator where synergies are not very clear. Hopefully the credit crunch will put a stop on such plans for now.

Nice large cap, just showed up in my dividend screener. This sounds like the perfect time to buy large, boring, normally expensive large cap stocks.

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!
