I think I'll just need to monitor VOD more closely than most of my other stocks.

Thus, if the stake were to be sold to VZ, then I would consider selling my VOD position, although my decision would depend on what VOD's management would decide to do with the proceeds.Dividend Growth Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304571550687216360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800029095243726187.post-14465162549985466592013-05-25T20:49:23.725-04:002013-05-25T20:49:23.725-04:00DGM,

This may mean the possibility of a VOD special dividend next year, but I am more uncertain on the medium term growth profile of VOD, as in my view VZW stake is really the strongest driver of revenue growth currently.Integratorhttp://financiallyintegrated.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800029095243726187.post-80210847518626076462013-05-23T21:54:43.632-04:002013-05-23T21:54:43.632-04:00Martin: I agree that a dividend cut is unlikely; i...Martin: I agree that a dividend cut is unlikely; it is fairly well-covered by their free cash flow. However, I wonder a bit about the prospects for dividend growth over the next few years while the European situation is still being worked out.Dividend Growth Machinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304571550687216360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800029095243726187.post-58908812374930129312013-05-21T23:40:11.628-04:002013-05-21T23:40:11.628-04:00I think Vodafone is a strong carrier in Europe alo...I think Vodafone is a strong carrier in Europe along with T-Mobile and Telefonica so I think there is no big risk of lowering the dividend. They may stop increasing it, but the cut is quite unlikely. Also the crisis will not take forever, so my opinion is that buying now when everybody is freaking out could be a good move. I am somewhat optimistic about European stocks. Theywere beaten down significantly, and many of them are very good businesses. I believe VOD is one of them.Martinhttp://www.hellosuckers.netnoreply@blogger.com
