Consider CenturyLink: Because the Future Belongs to Cheaper Broadband

Posted on November 04th, 2010 in CenturyLink, ctl, India Shares, telecommunications

Filed under:

Telecom/broadband play CenturyLink Inc. (CTL), formerly known as CenturyTel, appears to be well-positioned for a promising 2011 and beyond, and is worth a review.

Louisiana-based CenturyLink is a rural telephone carrier that operates in small/mid-sized cities in 23 states. Its acquisition of Embarq increased its telephone access lines to about 6.9 million.

CenturyLink also has 2.3 million broadband subscribers and is involved in a partnership to provide wholesale satellite service to about 600,000 customers.

CTL’s 2010 revenue breakdown: 44% voice, 26% network access, 24% data, 10% fiber transport/other.

Verizon: Back Up the Truck

Posted on November 01st, 2010 in cellphone service, India Shares, telecommunications, Verizon

Filed under: ,

Slow growth/dividend play Verizon Communications (VZ), first discussed here on February 12, 2009 at a price of $29.86, is registering more growth than expected, and I obviously still like the shares here.

Moreover, Verizon’s chart appears to be forming a cup-with-a-handle — a bullish formation.

Verizon will likely post 2-2.5% revenue gain in 2011, after flattish revenue in 2010, with data services being the key revenue increase driver. Cell phone subscriber additions should lead the sector, but competition may hurt overall subscription prices. Further, if unlimited service for a flat fee becomes the sector norm, that would further dent wireless revenue. As of June 2010, Verizon had 93 million wireless subscribers, with another 8 million devices connected to its network. A rock-solid $1.95 annual dividend – good for a 6% yield at the current stock price of about $32.50 — adds to the positive mix.

Filed under: , ,

AT&T logoWednesday morning, Standard & Poor’s announced that it may cut AT&T‘s (T) credit rating because the company could have trouble reducing its debt load within a “reasonable timeframe.”

The ratings house placed the communications firm on CreditWatch negative with implications, which includes the company’s “A” rating and its “A-1″ short-term and commercial paper ratings. S&P stated, that it expects “a potential downgrade of the corporate credit rating, if any, would be limited to one notch.” This news has had very little impact on the stock, as shares of the titan of telecom were trading near break-even by late morning.
