VimpelCom ( VIP - Analyst Report ) is the second largest cellular carrier in Russia with over 25% market share and continued expansion in regions of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), operating GSMbased wireless services.

We are encouraged with VimpelCom's successful sales growth trend and the company's ability to retain subscribers on a recurring basis, even as overall economic factors remain weak.

<> Additionally, the ongoing expansion initiatives into emerging Asian markets are expected to boost opportunity in wireless. We reiterate our Buy rating while...

New Global Telecom Index Connects Investors to Dividends

<>
<> As investors search for defensive stock investments and high dividend yields during the current bear market turmoil, they need look no further than telecom services companies. In contrast to many of the existing telecom ETFs (the four listed below are all down by about 40% on average in the last year) which have large positions in Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T), the ETF Innovators [ETFI] Global Telco Dividend Income Index is structured as an equally-weighted, all-world index among the top 35 rated compani...

Dialing for Dividends in Telcos

<>
Although not completely immune from the current global economic slowdown, many telecom services companies are currently yielding higher amounts than tobacco companies and the Utilities Select Sector SPDR (XLU). Although many of the foreign telecom companies included in the ETFI Global Telco Services Dividend Income Index issued special one-time dividends over the past year which inflates their trailing 12-month yield; both Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) are currently yielding over 6% each while trading at multi-year lows.

Vimpel Communications: Compelling Russian Play Poised for Growth Graphic_rating_buy VIP
-40.76%
in 538 days

In the world of investing, Russia seems to get ignored. What was once one of the most powerful countries in the world as the U.S.S.R., has been reduced to a third world power. Constant political friction and instability make this a skeptical choice by many, but it shouldn't be.

<>Russia is well placed in the world of inflation as they are an area of plentiful resources, including the world's second leading producer of oil behind Saudi Arabia. This influx of money flowing into the country has been underestimated. With Europe's outsourcing of manufacuring into countr...

VIP is still a buy, the market is effecting it's share price, however this is not directly related to the company. Many hedge funds and institutions have been selling to free up capital which has been dragging down the market in the last few weeks which is causing a surplus of excellent priced stocks out there. VIP is at a bargain price to buy and hold as it will get a lot better over the long run.

Market moving, may swing up, if the market returns to the bull. Good time to buy those great stocks, which were hurt during the down turn. The rest of this week will show if there is strength to keep this going till the beginning of the year. Some great earning reports and projection will sustain an upward trend.
