- Wednesday, April 3, 9:14 AM France Telecom (FTE) -3.5% to $9.83 after UBS downgrades shares to Sell. FTE is now within striking distance of its 52-week low of $9.46. 4 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, March 27, 10:29 AM European tech and telecom stocks are underperforming as continental equities sell off on Italian concerns. STM -3.9%. ALU -2.3%. NXPI -1.4%. FTE -4.3%. TEF -2.1%. TI -4.3%. VOD -1.7%. One exception is Nokia (NOK +0.3%), which is benefiting from an upgrade to Buy from Swedbank. 6 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, March 20, 1:05 PM Vivendi (VIVHY.PK) is thinking of spinning off its SFR French mobile phone unit, four sources tell Bloomberg. One proposal involves SFR, which made up ~40% of Vivendi's 2012 sales, assuming most of the conglomerate's debt. The sources caution a split could take 3-5 years to pull off, and would likely happen following the sale of Vivendi's 53% stake in Morocco's Maroc Telecom. Vivendi closed up 4.4% in Paris on the news; SFR rival France Telecom (FTE +3.1%) spiked higher, and is seeing decent gains in the U.S. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, March 14, 2:22 PM European carriers rally as continental equities move higher and an EU summit in which budget rules are taking center stage gets underway. FTE +6.1%. TEF +3.8%. TI +5.2%. VOD +2%. BT +5.4%. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]

Thursday, March 14, 9:15 AM
Premarket gainers: MW +15%. EBIX +14%. ARWR +8%. BLDP +6%. FTE +6%.
Losers: ANAD -8%. NBG -7%. DCTH -7%. ETFC -7%. VRA -6%. Comment! [On the Move] - Monday, February 4, 11:47 AM Debt-laden European telcos are having a rough day following major declines in continental indices thanks to fresh Spanish and Italian woes. FTE -5.2%. TEF -4.7%. TI -5.7%. PT -5.8%. Vodafone (VOD -1.6%) is posting a relatively small decline in spite of being hit with a downgrade to Neutral from Citi. 2 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Monday, January 14, 12:22 PM Alcatel-Lucent (ALU +4%) is higher after Bloomberg reports the company's submarine optical cable unit has received buyout interest; the business is estimated by one firm to be worth $1.1B and to have a 40% market share. P-E firms Permira (previous) and PAI Partners are said to be weighing bids, as is French sovereign wealth fund FSI. Also, France Telecom (FTE) has said it makes "industrial sense" to own the business - there's a good chance the French government is playing a role here. Alcatel has reportedly hired an i-bank to explore sales for other businesses. (Nov. report) 3 Comments [Tech, On the Move, M&A]
- Wednesday, November 21, 2012, 12:16 PM Facebook (FB +5.8%) is rallying again in the wake of last Wednesday's lockup expiration; shares are now up 23% since 773M shares became eligible for sale. While short-covering ahead of Thanksgiving weekend is undoubtedly a factor, Facebook's trading volume is well above average on a low-volume day. This morning, French carrier Orange (FTE) announced Party Call, a service that allows Facebook users to place individual and group calls to each other via their smartphones, no numbers required. 3 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, July 26, 2012, 1:39 PM France Telecom (FTE +7.7%) surges after reporting 1H revenue fell 3.2% Y/Y to €21.8B ($26.5B), a little better than a €21.7B consensus, and reaffirming guidance for 2012 operating cash flow of nearly €8B. The numbers are soothing to investors on edge over macro issues, huge debt obligations, and competition from French discount carrier Iliad. FTE is hoping its phone subsidies and retail footprint will allow it to maintain a price premium. TEF +6.2%. TI +4.4%. BT +4.7%. Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]

Premarket gainers: GENE +33%. PSDV +24%. IBIO +21%. S +18%. WDC +17%. AKAM +16%. PCS +14%. TEX +13%. FTNT +13%. STX +11%. WFM +11%. GNC +8%. UN +7%. CROX +7%. BBVA +7%. PHM +7%. SVU +6%. SAN +6%. PSTI +6%. EQIX +6%. ABB +6%. IOC +6%. AEM +6%. FTE +6%. MRVL +6%. NOK +5%. OVTI +5%.
Losers: ZNGA -40%. NG -29%. STRA -17%. GLUU -8%. IPG -6%. ESI -7%. GRPN -6%. FB -6%. ALU -6%. STB -6%. ABX -5%. LVS -5%. 1 Comment [On the Move] - Friday, July 20, 2012, 11:25 AM Telefonica (TEF -8.6%), Telecom Italia (TI -5.9%), and France Telecom (FTE -4%) slump following Vodafone's (VOD -2.3%) disappointing FQ1 report. The carrier reported Y/Y revenue declines of 7.7% and 10%, respectively, for its Italian and Spanish ops. A downbeat Spanish GDP forecast and a general selloff in Euro stocks probably aren't helping either. 3 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Friday, July 13, 2012, 12:17 PM The EU is backtracking on plans to force incumbent telcos to charge lower fees to rivals to use their networks to deliver broadband services. The decision, which is part of a broader effort to set rules aimed at stoking the continent's broadband investments, appears to be giving a lift to the shares of debt-laden incumbents. BT +3.9%. TI +4.5%. FTE +5%. DTEGY.PK +5.7% on the Frankfurt exchange. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]

Roaming agreements will bring in €1B in revenue over three years, an acceleration of an earlier prediction of €1B in six years. Confirms forecast to have "close to" €8B in operating cash flow this year. Shares +3% in France. Comment! [On the Move, Tech, Earnings]
