Shares of TLS have been on a protracted downtrend since mid-February when their shares traded as high as $5.22.
Earlier this week, TLS Chairman John Mullen met with institutional investors to assure them that the dividend is unlikely to be cut further.
Telstra announced in September that its 2018 full-year dividend would be reduced by 30% to 22 cents a share…..which Mr Mullen said is effectively the floor.
At the current price of $3.45, a 22 cent dividend pencils out to a 6.3% yield.
It’s our base case that most of the bad news about TLS is priced in and accumulating shares in this price range is a reasonable investment.
