On CAPS, 95% of the 200 members who have rated Telecom Argentina believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Earlier this month, one of those Fools, dreamjob, highlighted several of the stock's positives:
I found this on my own 'Surprise, Surprise' screen (high earnings surprises in the last 90 days, strong revenue growth in the last year, and low to moderate P/E ratio). [Free cash flow] and Owner Earnings are growing. [Return on invested capital] and [cash return on invested capital] metrics are also very solid (20 % each), and growing. Foolish Flow Ratio is below one for the most recent year. ... Revenue and EPS / Earnings are growing very nicely. It's 5 stars, and this looks very cheap right now. I think this should be priced somewhere in the $60 or greater.
Of course, despite its five-star rating, Telecom Argentina may not be your top choice.
