SPK- Spark NZ (TELCO)

[couta1]

I see very good value at current price, yield 6+% and Spark is growing (cf other yield plays on nzx) down trend and momentum is not in our favour though. I'm buying a few at current levels, should return to $4

Yep a better divvy play than the power companies at current prices and the share is not overvalued like they are.Disc-Buying

im picking the new ceo will not be as good as moutter , the business will decline slowly and the div will reduce next yr. my assumptions are based on the change of guard

I have done a small amount of research - she has a very strong finance background, always good to have someone who "knows there numbers". I'm quietly confident.

yep bean counter , doesnt mean there good at managing such a huge business. look at telstra. penn was a cfo like the current spark appointed and precided over a massive loss in s/h wealth since his appointment. who knows if the same will happen at spark we will only know in hindsight but it adds risk to any investment because the person is unproven esp in a very challenging industry. i will be the first to congratulate if she succeeds but thats for a future date to decide

southern cross building new cable will mean no div to spark , i think moutter say if they do this could shave 1c of div?

I recall from the HY result conference call during QA, either Moutter or the CFO said they will still pay a 12.5c dividend, even if they don't get paid the Southern Cross dividend.

While predicting the future is difficult I am unsure given the high penetration of fiber to the premises in New Zealand whether 5G will produce the sunlit uplands Spark are hoping for.

Boop boop de do
