I've been threatening (myself) to buy Partner Communications for the last 2 years. Ever since I stumbled into them on a dividend hunt. Since then, they have gone through some changes. The primary being the transfer of the majority ownership from Hutchison Telecommunications Intnl. ltd., a large Hong Kong telecommunications company, to Scailex Corp., Ltd. on
August 12, 2009. Scailex Corp is an Israeli company that is transfering its money and operations from oil to cell phones. The transfer went smoothly and the dividend hasn't been reduced (yet) so I've enlisted its help in my retirement fund restoration project.

As with all my picks: A very attractive P/E, excellent EPS growth rate and high five year growth prospects.

This is a stock I had bouth at 15 and sold. With the recent draw back, I am fullspeed ahead on a buying back in. At a 6+% dividend, overseas stock, and adding in the necessity of mobile communications in Israel, if it goes below 21 the DIV would be even better and I would fill my pockets some more... Get on the DIV train and get paid to wait.

More people will be moving to Israel in the coming years, and they will want cell phones. Look for Israel's economy to be a steady gainer no matter what the world market does.

Looks like a solid company, with steady cash flow, great growth potential and in a thriving economy that's growing close to an annual rate of over 5%.
Good for long term.

Just MHO!

"The Company operates a mobile telecommunications network in Israel."

Sales grew about 17% last year and are growing at the same annual rate so far this year. EPS more than doubled last year and are growing at about a 20% annual rate so far this year. The pretax profit margin has fluctuated between 12% and 19% over the past 4 years, so no clear signal is given by this fluctuating performance. The EPS/book value (% earned on equity) has risen in each of the past two years. The debt-to-equity ratio has varied greatly over the past 4 years, and according to Yahoo! now stands at about 137%. This is a decrease from last year and a huge drop from the year before but is still higher than I would like it to be. However, since the debt-to-equity ratio dropped from 330% in 2005, the trend is in the right direction and they have made huge strides to pay down their debt, so this is a positive sign. The current P/E ratio is considerably above their 4-year trailing average, which is bad, and is in fact higher than it reached in 3 of the past 4 years, which is very bad. While some P/E increase could be justified by the declining debt levels, I think this might be excessive, so the stock might be overbought at this time. The current payout ratio is about 52%, which is fairly reasonable, so their dividend, currently yielding a very nice 4.6% according to Yahoo!, should be secure. (Interestingly, TDAmeritrade states their dividend yield is 6% while S&P states it is 3.44%, so 4.6% seems to be the average of the three estimates.) The trailing PEG ratio is a very reasonable 0.80, so that is good. The trailing averages signal on this stock is very bullish, with a strong divergence between the 50-day and 200-day moving averages and a strong divergence between these averages and the S&P500. The MACD signal is bullish. Interestingly, Yahoo! says that no analyst they cover is rating this stock but they say the analyst opinion on this stock is a strong buy. Not sure how that works, but I know other analysts have also rated this stock a buy.

Due to the current strong performance and the very nice dividend yield, I am keeping this stock. However, since my data suggests that this stock is fairly valued at this point, I will not reiterate my outperform rating at this time. While I think that the stock will outperform the S&P500 over the next year, I am not so confident that it will do so over the 5-year time horizon that I look at, which is what I base my outperform calls on. Therefore, while I think this stock is well worth holding, (for both the stock appreciation potential and the very nice dividend), I will not reiterate my outperform rating on this stock at this time.
