Wednesday, May 29, 11:37 AM Portugal Telecom (PT -2.8%) slumps in response to a downgrade to Hold from Berenberg. The downgrade comes shortly after the Portuguese/Brazilian carrier reported a 9.5% Y/Y revenue drop for Q1, as wireline sub losses and price pressure offset broadband/pay-TV growth. Goldman upgraded PT to Conviction Buy last month. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]

Thursday, April 4, 1:00 PM Goldman upgrades Portugal Telecom (PT +4.8%) to Conviction Buy from Neutral, stoking a rally in shares of the European/Latin American carrier. After rallying to start the year, PT shares had slumped over the last 2 months thanks to European macro concerns. Comment! [Tech, 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, 3:12 AM Portugal Telecom (PT) and U.K.-based Cable & Wireless (CBWYY.PK) agree to sell their combined 79% holding in Cia. de Telecomunicacoes de Macau to China's Citic Telecom for $1.16B. Portugal Telecom will receive $411.6M for its 28% while C&W will receive $749.7M for its 51%. The sale is part of the European telecom companies' strategies to streamline their operations. Comment! [M&A, Tech]
Wednesday, September 5, 2012, 12:31 PM Portugal Telecom (PT -2.6%) falls after JPMorgan downgrades shares to Underweight. Like other peripheral eurozone telcos, weak mobile services demand and huge debt obligations have been weighing on PT. 2 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
Friday, April 27, 2012, 11:25 AM A check of fund flows in Europe shows the first positive money going into telecoms in 2 years, notes the team at HSBC, which also notes international funds remain underweight the sector. Not surprisingly, what money is flowing is going into northern Europe, but the Club Med states are catching up. Some telecom picks. 2 Comments [Global & FX]

Sunday, April 24, 2011, 9:35 AM Portugal again revises up its 2010 budget deficit, this time to 9.1% from a previous estimate of 8.6%. This is way above the eurozone limit of 3% and even the government's target of 7.3%. The new figure is another setback as Portugal negotiates it bailout. 13 Comments [Global & FX]
Tuesday, January 11, 2011, 7:20 AM European banks are higher and the euro flat after Japan pledges to join China in helping to prop up one of their best customers. Separately, Portuguese PM Socrates denies the need for a bailout. Euro buys $1.2946. Stoxx 50 +0.89%. Portugal +1.65%. 4 Comments [Global & FX]
Wednesday, July 28, 2010, 7:28 AM Telefonica (TEF) reaches an initial agreement to buy Portugal Telecom's (PT) stake in Vivo (VIV), but declines to provide a price for the deal, which must still be approved by the boards of both companies. Sources say Telefonica offered €7.5B ($9.8B), marking its third bid increase and a 32% jump from its initial offer. Comment!
Saturday, July 17, 2010, 3:17 PM Telefonica (TEF) abandons its pursuit of full control of Vivo (VIV), its JV with Portugal Telecom (PT). Sources say the next step may be a legal battle, with Telefonica poised to ask a Dutch court to break up the JV. Comment!
Tuesday, July 13, 2010, 8:44 AM Shareholders of Vivo (VIV) and Portugal Telecom (PT) won't be in suspense much longer, as Telefonica (TEF) has ruled out extending its €7.15B ($9B) offer for PT's Vivo stake. "This ends July 16," says Telefonica Chairman Cesar Alierta. Comment!
Thursday, July 8, 2010, 7:31 AM Europe's highest court rules against Portugal for blocking Telefonica's (TEF -0.5%) €7.15B ($9.04B) bid to buy Portugal Telecom's (PT -1.8%) stake in their Vivo (VIV) JV. Portugal is expected to divest its shares, but it could take months to implement the ruling. Comment!

Jan H. Lessner
What's happening here? Any reason why peers like $TSU and $VIV perform less worse than $OIBR? Parent company $PT is also performing better.
