		<description><![CDATA[Spanish telecom giant Telefonica (TEF) reported results for the first nine months of 2010 with earnings per share of €1.95 ($2.57) above €1.17 in the year-ago period. Despite weak Spanish operations, revenue growth in Latin America led to strong results for the period. Notably, earnings per share more than doubled year over year to €1.12 ($1.47) in the third quarter. Net income jumped 65.6% year over year to €8.8 billion ($11.6 billion) for the first nine months of 2010. In the third quarter of 2010, net income tripled to €5.06 billion ($6.65 billion) from €1.88 billion in the year-ago quarter. Third quarter profit was led by the company’s acquisition of remaining 50% stake in Brazilian wireless Vivo Participacoes (VIV) from Portugal Telcom (PT). During the first nine months, consolidated revenue ]]></description>

Currently, the stock has Zacks #2 (Buy) Rank. We believe the overhang on the stock has been removed following Telefonica’s acquisition of its remaining 50% stake from Portugal Telecom (PT) in their Brazilian wireless joint venture, Vivo Participacoes (VIV). The increased stake will further promote diversification and increase Telefonica’s exposure to the growing Brazilian market. Telefonica will merge Vivo with its Brazilian fixed-line voice and broadband unit Telesp (TSP), which is struggling to perform. Furthermore, first half 2010 earnings were higher than the year-ago levels. Consolidated revenue increased 5.4% year over year from strong growth in Latin America and Europe as well as a recovery in Spain. However, the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week the stock market had a good week, and the bond market corrected a bit. Still, relative to the yield on the 10-year t-note of 2.71% on Friday, stocks look extremely attractive. The S&#38;P 500 is trading for just 13.4x consensus expectations for 2010, and 11.6x 2011 expectations. That translates into earnings yields of 7.46% and 8.62%, respectively. However, an earnings yield does not provide you with that much cash in your hand. For an apples to apples comparison, it is the dividend yield that is worth looking at. Of course, that which is not paid out in the form of dividends is held on your behalf to be reinvested in the business, or is returned to you by the company buying back stock. From a tax efficiency standpoint, ]]></description>

Revenues &#38; EBITDA Vivo, a joint venture between Spanish telecom giant Telefonica (TEF) and Portugal Telecom (PT), posted net revenues of R$4.40 billion ($2.47 billion), up 9.9% year over year, driven by sustained growth in data and value-added services (VAS) revenues partially offset by decline in handset sales.

Currently the stock has Zacks #5 (Strong Sell) Rank. We believe Telefonica’s fight with Portugal Telecom (PT) for the full control of its Brazilian wireless joint venture, Vivo Participacoes (VIV) may push the share price downward. Portugal Telecom&#8217;s board and shareholders refused the Telefonica bid to acquire the remaining control (50%) of Vivo, with support from the Portuguese government. According to the government, Vivo is crucial to the growth prospects and development of Portugal Telecom. Exclusive control of Vivo will enable Telefonica to merge the entity with its Brazilian fixed-line voice and broadband unit Telesp (TSP), which is struggling to perform. This will make the combined entity a full-service ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spanish telecom behemoth Telefonica (TEF) remains desperate to grab full control of Brazilian wireless kingpin Vivo Participacoes (VIV) as it has reportedly raised its bid to €6.5 billion (US$8 billion). However, the offer has been rebuffed by Portugal Telecom (PT), which remains adamant in its decision against disposing its stake in Vivo. Nevertheless, the Lisbon-based operator has convened a shareholders’ voting on Telefonica’s revised bid, which it views as inadequate. Telefonica has offered two options to Portugal Telecom with its new bid. The Portuguese carrier can either immediately sell its entire stake or can do so at its sole discretion over a three-year period. Telefonica also has offered to sell its 10% share in Portugal Telecom if the revised bid is accepted. Vivo, a 50-50 joint venture between Telefonica and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spanish telecom giant Telefonica SA (TEF) is aggressively preparing to delve deeper into the lucrative Brazilian telecom market, representing the principal growth engine for the carrier over the last few years. The operator recently revealed its plans to invest as much as R$5 billion ($2.8 billion) this year in Brazil, representing a 50% year-over-year increase. Telefonica will direct the budgeted capital expenditure for improving its wireline broadband and wireless network infrastructure in Brazil. The operator recently entered into a three-year managed service deal with Ericsson (ERIC) under which the Swedish giant will manage and run the wireline network operations in Brazil. Telefonica operates its fixed-line telephone and broadband services in Sao Paulo (Brazil’s largest and most lucrative market) through its subsidiary Telesp (TSP).

		<description><![CDATA[With Spain mired in recession, Spanish telecom company Telefonica ADR (NYSE: TEF) has had to rely on Latin America – and Brazil especially – for much of its growth. Yet Telefonica has to fight increasing competition for everything in the Portuguese-speaking nation. For one, the local government backed a union of Brasil Telecom ADR (NYSE: BRP) and Telemar. It hoped that, together, those local companies could better challenge their Spanish rival. Then, last November, the French media and telecoms company Vivendi ADR (PINK: VIVDY) beat Telefonica out for GVT, a fast-growing Brazilian fixed-line business. In January, Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim – owner of America Movil ADR (NYSE: AMX) – made a move of his own. And he’s already begun implementing his goal of integrating his mobile and fixed line businesses. ]]></description>

Consolidated revenues grew 1.7% year over year to €13.93 billion (US$22.1 billion). Latin America contributed 40% of the group’s revenues followed by Spain at 33% and Europe at 25%. Result by Segments Telefonica Espana The operator’s Spanish revenues declined 5.7% year over year to €4.6 billion (US$6.4 billion), impacted by a reduction in mobile termination rates (inter-operator fees) and a soft economy. Wireline business revenues dipped 7.7% year over year to €2.8 billion (US$3.9 billion) due to lower access and voice service ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Vivo Participacoes (VIV), the largest wireless operator in Brazil, reported results for first-quarter 2010 with earnings per ADS of 27 cents missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 35 cents. However, net income surged 44.3% year-over-year to R$191.9 million ($107 million) on the back of higher revenues, healthy subscriber accretion and lower financial expenses (down 33% year-over-year). Revenue &#38; EBITDA Vivo, a joint venture between Spanish telecom giant Telefonica (TEF) and Portugal Telecom (PT), posted net revenues of R$4.23 billion ($2.36 billion), up 4.8% year-over-year, driven by sustained growth in data and value-added services (VAS) revenues which more than offset declines in access and usage revenues as well as handset sales. Vivo benefits from favorable trends in the Brazilian wireless market, new operations in the northeastern region and expanded coverage for ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wall Street seems obsessed with pigs these days. PIIGS, that is – Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain – the smaller economies in Europe. Many people worry whether these countries can honor their sovereign debt because of high, already-existing debt levels. And the U.S. Senate might even investigate Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) for allegedly hiding Greek debt from European regulators… Talk about locking the barn door after the Trojan horse has already bolted. Also foolishly, investors have vilified every single company in those countries. Fears have spread that neighboring economies are suspect as well, by association. And in response, investors have either backed away from that region altogether or full-out shorted related stocks. Either way, they don’t know what they’re missing out on. But not to worry. That very panic ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Telefonica SA (TEF), the incumbent telecom carrier in Spain, has released its 2010 capital expenditure (CapEx) guidance for its Brazilian subsidiary Telecomunicacoes de Sao Paulo (TSP). The Spanish telecom giant plans to spend more than R$2 billion (US$1.14 billion) in Brazil in the next year. This is marginally lower compared to R$2.4 billion (US$1.38 billion) earmarked for 2009. The company plans to allocate a major portion of the budgeted CapEx for expanding its broadband network infrastructure in Brazil. Telefonica is boosting investment in broadband to improve service quality. The company contends with decelerating revenue for its fixed-line business. Brazil’s telecom regulator Anatel suspended Telefonica’s fixed-line operation between June and August 2009 due to customer complaints about poor service quality. Telefonica operates its fixed-line telephone and broadband services in Sao Paulo ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spain’s incumbent telecom carrier Telefonica SA (TEF) has reportedly made an all-cash bid to acquire Brazilian telecom operator GVT Holding SA in an effort to expand its presence in the lucrative Brazilian telecom market. The Spanish operator’s Brazilian fixed-line subsidiary Telecomunicacoes de Sao Paulo (Telesp) has offered BRL48 (US$27.2) per share of GVT to acquire atleast 51% of the company, equating to a total investment of €2.55 billion (US$3.75 billion). This offer, which is subject to regulatory and shareholders approvals, has outbid the BRL42 (US$23.8) per share offer made by France-based media company Vivendi SA in September 2009. Telefonica targets to eventually acquire 100% stake in GVT. Large telecom carriers across the US and Europe are increasingly focused on expanding their foothold in under-penetrated markets given the limited growth prospects ]]></description>
