This is a FWIW regarding VOD. You already know M*'s view, here is what Value Line is saying. We expect increases in the regular semiannual dividend to moderate. Any further significant rise in the payout ratio seems unlikely until the status of VZW is resolved. Too, Vodafone doesn’t seem in a rush for another special dividend, such as 2012’s $0.62-a-share payout, which was funded by a distribution from VZW. The U.S. service provider has since paid two more dividends, but Vodafone is using the first to fund share repurchases and plans to retain the second. Even so, These ADRs will likely appeal to income-oriented investors. This equity offers a yield in excess of 5%, and it also gets a high mark for Price Stability, which makes its suitable for more-conservative accounts. Robert M. Greene, CFA June 21, 2013
