Mexico cellphone firm Iusacell stock plummets

Monday December 13, 2:01 pm Eastern Time

MEXICO CITY, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Mexico's No. 2 cellphone
company Nuevo Grupo Iusacell skidded 12.82 percent on the
bolsa Monday as the company corrected from last week's steep
gains and was hurt by a downgrade on its stock, traders said.

Iusacell V shares eased 2.18 pesos to 14.82 pesos while its
ADRs (NYSE:CEL - news), or American Depositary Receipts, fell
1/8 to 15-5/8 on Wall Street.

Last Thursday, Iusacell shares jumped 25 percent after Morgan
Stanley Dean Witter said the company was its top pick in the
Latin American wireless sector and set a new end-2000 target
price of $19 for the firm's ADRs from previous $16.50.

Iusacell was also boosted by news it had placed $350 million
in seven-year senior notes. The issue was increased from $225
million originally planned.

``It's a natural market correction ... on Thursday we had a
very sharp increase and new life-high at 17 (pesos) and
besides it didn't trade Friday on the local market,' said
one trader.

Iusacell is not traded every day on the Mexico City exchange
as the stock is not very liquid.
