Telefonica: The perfect choice for a DIVIDEND strategy
Here at Human Traders, we've been following Telefonica closely. Its fundamentals look better than ever. They reduced its debt from €56Bn in 2011 to €25bn in 2021. Alvaro Pallete, CEO of Telefonica has done an incredible job in term of debt reduction and company management. The dividend is also very interesting. We bought Telefonica when the dividend yield was more than 12%. Still the dividend yield now is more than 6%, one of the bests in Spain, a country where almost every company offers attractive dividend yields. In terms of competition, the telecommunication sector has always been fierce, but Telefonica remains as the main company in the sector in Spain and strong presence in LATAM. With Movistar+, they follow the same strategy plan as AT&T with streaming services.
Regarding technical analysis, you can clearly see the downtrend of the last 15 years has been really strong, but we believe this time there could be a breakout of the main resistance level. It will take some time, but with this high-dividend yield, we can wait as long as we need. If you follow a dividend strategy, we recommend to have this one in your portfolio. For those who follow performance only, wait for the breakout of the resistance level to enter, o enter on the bottom area of the last channel. As you can see there was an important bullish divergence last year, and we don't expect the stock price to fall below that area, unless there is another market crisis like the one we saw back in March 2020. There is also the possibility of a rally in the telecommunication sector, one the most smashed sectors in the last 15 years, but interestingly, it's one of the most important ones in society.
