Premium contentOur PAST TOP PICK with VOD has triggered its stop at $9. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. When combined with previous buy recommendations, this will result in a net investment loss of 4%.
Premium contentPremium contentWe reiterate VOD, who is teaming up with Amazon to provide satellite based service into Africa and Europe, as a TOP PICK. The project is set to begin in 2024 and avoids land-based fibre optic investment. It trades at 13x earnings and under book value, while supporting a 20% ROE and growing cash reserves. We continue to recommend a stop at $8, looking to achieve $12 -- upside over 25%. Yield 0.9%
(Analysts’ price target is $13.72)Premium contentThe recently announced proposed merger with another network provider has great upside potential and is called a "game changer" for bringing more competition to the UK mobile market, while allowing economies of scale for a 5G rollout. The company trades at 9x earnings, under book value, is growing cash reserves, and supports a 20% ROE. We recommend placing a stop-loss at $8, looking to achieve $13 -- upside potential of 33%.

A hard one to look at. You will see red if you have held it for a while. This is due to their spinout. Your book price is higher due to the fact it does not take into account of the dividend from the spinout. Tends to build up companies and then spins them out. There is growth however. Brexit was the biggest impediment for them. UK based companies now should do pretty well. Good for income.
Darren SissonsNot a tech company, but does provide access to the internet. Overexpanded and took on a lot of debt. Great business in the UK and Europe. How do they integrate 5G and the cable business? Will have a lot of capex going forward. He'd rather own a Canadian telecom like BCE. Good yield.

Just sold his when they announced the deal. But it has done well since then. You have to know what is act two in the play. He thinks you will get something, perhaps a special dividend. He left for a better opportunity but there is nothing negative on the horizon. Great yield and lots of cash on the balance sheet.
