France Telecom (ADR) (FTE)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company provides consumers, businesses and other telecommunications operators with a range of services including fixed telephony and mobile telecommunications, data transmission, Internet and multimedia, and other value-added services.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Boring, old France Telecom doesnt innovate but sports a hot dividend. Telecoms innovated a lot, now it's time to get profits. Bandwith increase gets fairly cheap since all the investment in fiber optics is already done, nowadays upgrades are done just replacing the transmissors with faster ones, but...More

Here is a five-star stock with at least 50 all-stars picking it to outperform, and it is within 5% of its 52-week low.

Blind pick based on big dividend and big market cap. I've read enough bad things about Orange UK to think twice about going in with real money ... well, maybe briefly to poach the dividend.

Price to cash flow is listed at 4, and the yield is listed at 5.9 - that's good enough for a CAPS pick.

Another large cap high yield stock in my new list of stock that are too big to fail, yet priced as if that were imminent. I will happily take the 6% yield even knowing that the earnings are due to decrease in the short term.
