Frontier Communications (NASDAQ:FTR)

Dividend play

Another good dividend stock that has taken a beating in the last 6 months. This telephonic communications company is a good candidate for a takeover. Hold to $7 and then sell.
BTW, this stock is paying a whopping 17% dividend.

I may be catching a falling knife here but their cash flow looks like it can support their dividend and the selling volume today looks like a crescendo.

I think Mags can hold the dividend for at least one more year.

Strictly a flyer for some long term gain.

This stock is priced for the short-term, with people fearing a dividend cut and seeing its costs from Verizon assets going overboard. But they are reaping bonus depreciation by upgrading their structure now and should really improve their sheet in a year or two as a result. Management is also conscientious of trying to maintain the dividend.

Selloff way overblown. Landlines shrinking but rest of business is stable or growing.

The rule of 72.
72/14.60% (dividend yield as of 1-2-2012) = 4.93
This means if the yield stays the same, my investment will have paid for itself in under 5 years. That would be with no price increase during that time.

close to bottom, great yield

Frontier is clinging to a landline business in a cellular world. It is not without growth potential, but there's little chance of it keeping up with the economy at large.

better operating performance than expected, maintaining the current dividend

High dividend yield

I am debating on selling out

They have the territory,they just did to get there act together

Wireline revenue is the core of this company and it has and continues to invest a lot of capital in expanding high speed internet via DSL (wireline). DSL can't currently compete with cable on speed. And frankly, most people who are still paying for a wireline phone are also paying for wireless. Soon they are going to figure out, as many already have, that they only need one and it won't be wireline. I work for them, I watch it happen. I own No FTR.

Frontier is doing an excellent job of integrating Verizon's recently purchase territory into their company plan, look for dividend to increase by middle of next year after cap ex needed to update outdated/decrepit Verizon infrastructure is well spent.

not sure if this is a magic formula pick or not, but will hold it because of the dividend. I think this pick should come out on top sometime.
