#4 - Orange (NYSE:ORAN)
If you’re willing to take on some international exposure, Orange S.A. (NYSE: ORAN) is one to consider. This is a French telecommunications company and, to be fair, it hasn’t been a great investment over the last five years. Despite a dividend yield of over 6%, ORAN stock has only delivered an average total return of 7.34% in the last five years.
That’s the definition of a range-bound stock. The reason for that was a difficult regulatory environment in Europe. That’s not going to go away, but at this point the worst may be priced into the stock. If so, then investors should look at the company’s actions to mitigate costs, which should boost margins and earnings.
Institutional buying seems to support that idea. Buyers have outnumbered sellers by more than two-to-one in the last 12 months. And analysts give ORAN stock a consensus Buy rating with a consensus price target of $13.08 which would be a gain of around 9%.
