This one bothers me with the large short ratio nearly 14 days but I still like the dividend.

With low volatility--21% differential between high and low over a three year period, and a pretty consistent dividend, CZN might qualify (the debt?) as a "widows' and orphans' " stock; I do however think it is very fair to call it a bond alternative. My take is outperformance in market downturns, and underperformance during upswings.

I'm generally bearish on (fixed) telecoms. call costs are dropping towards free, and many of these companies have large debts from infrastructure investments.

“A blue sky” is all what we see with Citizen Communication (CZN), offering telecommunication services to approximately 2.3 million access lines, spread across 23 cities throughout the U.S. Amid a 71-year long sojourn, the company has primarily catered to rural areas, and small and medium-sized towns as an incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC). Subsequent to the divestiture of its Electric Lightwave unit, Citizen is a pure-play ILEC, offering internet, voice, data, and television services.

Pacing up the ladder, Citizen intends to acquire Commonwealth Telephone Enterprises, the fate of which is expected to surface in mid-2007. The combined company would be the seventh largest local telephone exchange company in the U.S., with high-speed Internet subscriber base leaping above 3.3 million. The merger is expected to achieve annual cash synergies of approximately $30 million, maintaining Citizens’ strong balance sheet and enhancing the sustainability of the company’s dividend program.

The telecom service industry, comprising firms providing cable and satellite services, data, wireless, and teleconferencing services, has displayed strong momentum during last year. Going forward, wireless and broadband remains the key drivers. Moreover, the expenditure on internet services is expected to reach $34.8 billion by 2009, with an annual growth rate of 5.3%. Endorsing the trend, Citizen is also working on new technologies and has started building and operating Wi-Fi networks to complement its existing DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) services. Strategically moving, the company is also planning to launch a hybrid product akin to AT&T’s homezone product to generate revenues from video on demand.

As consolidation among peers continues to march forward, Citizen is somewhat protected, as the competition is less prevalent in the rural markets where the company primarily provides its service. Furthermore, the proposed acquisition of Commonwealth is viewed favorably, as it enhances Citizens’ long-term fundamental outlook and helps the company to garner improved penetration in the region. With a revenue momentum story ahead and a high return on equity, its not easy to substantiate bearish sentiments for the scrip.

This has been a good performing stock for me. Not so much stock value growth but good consistant dividends.

with increasing rural membership this will help growth, they have good FCF with more than half going back to investors. With the growth of cell based GPS and the use of existing communities infrastructure these all help CZN in the future

A dividend play (7%+). Quiet trade and low volatility due to Wall Street's lack of interest in this stock. Seems safe.

Great dividend. Good leadership. I think its a lock to go double digit for the next few years. However, it may get gobbeled up.
