Holding this just for that sweet sweet dividend...

because I like new zealands new law making it more economic friendly for foreigners to start startups there

Great dividend, good numbers, good industry. May buy a small amount as a dividend play for real portfolio, verify all numbers before doing that.

So many good things here. Big company, low P/E, High dividend/yield, low price per share... A real gem.

The dividend is too enticing to pass up.

Telephone services are always needed. Nice dividends too!

Since owning over a year, this has risen 21% for me. I still see this going up. Dividends also rock.

Dividend Yield Looks good mate!

Solid company in the region but there are worries that outside companies will enter market. Good dividend

The dominant Telecom in New Zealand, with an excellent 9% dividend and a P/E of only 11. The NZ dollar looks strong, and the government conservative financially, suggesting that the NZ dollar will rise relative to the US Dollar. Since NZ consists of two large islands, separated from Australia and other land masses, their telephone company has a built-in barrier to entry.

Significant local market dominance in New Zeland provides a steady base of support. Expansion efforts into Australia and Asia provide for growth in the future. They are the largest telecom provider in New Zealand, the third largest telecom provider in Australia, and are growing in other areas of Asia. Growth is available in both basic services and advanced services, ranging from baseband and cellular communications to cloud computing, off site storage and disaster recovery solutions.
