Spain's Telefonica Has Agreed To Sell Its Unit In Argentina For Around €1 Billion

<a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/telefonica-confirms-internal-ticketing-system-breach-after-data-leak/">https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/telefonica-confirms-internal-ticketing-system-breach-after-data-leak/</a>
Spanish telecommunications company Telef&oacute;nica confirms its internal ticketing system was breached after stolen data was leaked on a hacking forum.
Telef&oacute;nica is a Spanish multinational telecommunications company operating in twelve countries with over 104,000 employees. The company is the largest telecommunications firm in Spain, operating under the name Movistar.
In an email to BleepingComputer today, Telef&oacute;nica confirmed its ticketing system was breached and are investigating the incident.
&quot;We have become aware of an unauthorized access to an internal ticketing system which we use at Telef&oacute;nica,&quot; Telef&oacute;nica told BleepingComputer
&quot;We are currently investigating the extent of the incident and have taken the necessary steps to block any unauthorized access to the system.&quot;
This confirmation comes after a Telef&oacute;nica Jira database was leaked on a hacking forum, with the breach claimed by four people using&nbsp;the aliases, DNA, Grep, Pryx, and Rey.&nbsp;
One of the attackers, Pryx, told BleepingComputer that the &quot;internal ticketing system&quot; is an internal Jira development and ticketing server, used by the company to report and resolve internal issues.
BleepingComputer was told that the system was breached yesterday using compromised employee credentials, with Telef&oacute;nica blocking their access today after performing password resets on impacted accounts.
Using the compromised employee accounts, the threat actors say they were able to scrape approximately 2.3 GB of documents, tickets, and various data. While some of this data was labeled as customers, BleepingComputer was told the tickets were opened with @telefonica.com email addresses, so may have been tickets opened on behalf of customers.
Pryx says they did not contact the company or attempt to extort them before leaking the data online.
Three people behind this attack, Grep, Pryx, and Rey, are also members of a recently launched ransomware operation known as <a href="https://www.watchguard.com/wgrd-security-hub/ransomware-tracker/hellcat">Hellcat Ransomware.</a>
Hellcat is responsible for a recent <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/schneider-electric-confirms-dev-platform-breach-after-hacker-steals-data/">breach of Schneider Electric</a>, where 40GB of data was stolen from the company&#39;s JIRA server.

An asset is typically considered oversold when the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/rsi">RSI is below 30</a>, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

The proven Zacks Rank system focuses on earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find winning stocks. Nevertheless, we know that our readers all have their own perspectives, so we are always looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong picks.
Looking at the history of these trends, perhaps none is more beloved than value investing. This strategy simply looks to identify companies that are being undervalued by the broader market. Value investors rely on traditional forms of analysis on key valuation metrics to find stocks that they believe are undervalued, leaving room for profits.
In addition to the Zacks Rank, investors looking for stocks with specific traits can utilize our Style Scores system. Of course, value investors will be most interested in the system&#39;s &quot;Value&quot; category. Stocks with &quot;A&quot; grades for Value and high Zacks Ranks are among the best value stocks available at any given moment.
One company value investors might notice is Telefonica (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tef#NYSE">TEF</a>). TEF is currently holding a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy) and a Value grade of A. The stock is trading with a P/E ratio of 12.68, which compares to its industry&#39;s average of 16.68. Over the last 12 months, TEF&#39;s Forward P/E has been as high as 14.44 and as low as 10.61, with a median of 12.83.
Another notable valuation metric for TEF is its P/B ratio of 0.84. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock&#39;s market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. This stock&#39;s P/B looks solid versus its industry&#39;s average P/B of 2.06. TEF&#39;s P/B has been as high as 0.93 and as low as 0.62, with a median of 0.76, over the past year.
Value investors also frequently use the P/S ratio. This metric is found by dividing a stock&#39;s price with the company&#39;s revenue. This is a prefered metric because revenue can&#39;t really be manipulated, so sales are often a truer performance indicator. TEF has a P/S ratio of 0.57. This compares to its industry&#39;s average P/S of 1.07.
Vivendi (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vivhy#OTC">VIVHY</a>) may be another strong Diversified Communication Services stock to add to your shortlist. VIVHY is a # 2 (Buy) stock with a Value grade of A.
Vivendi is trading at a forward earnings multiple of 11.91 at the moment, with a PEG ratio of 0.92. This compares to its industry&#39;s average P/E of 16.68 and average PEG ratio of 1.59.
Over the last 12 months, VIVHY&#39;s P/E has been as high as 16.77, as low as 9.36, with a median of 10.91, and its PEG ratio has been as high as 0.96, as low as 0.80, with a median of 0.87.
Vivendi also has a P/B ratio of 0.65 compared to its industry&#39;s price-to-book ratio of 2.06. Over the past year, its P/B ratio has been as high as 0.65, as low as 0.45, with a median of 0.57.
Value investors will likely look at more than just these metrics, but the above data helps show that Telefonica and Vivendi are likely undervalued currently. And when considering the strength of its earnings outlook, TEF and VIVHY sticks out as one of the market&#39;s strongest value stocks.

Is Telefonica Stock Undervalued Right Now?

The Zacks Diversified Communication Services industry is likely to benefit from the diminishing supply chain adversities, increased fiber densification and accelerated 5G deployment across the globe. However, high capital expenditures for 5G infrastructure upgrades, unpredictable raw material prices, geopolitical conflicts and elevated inventory levels amid a challenging macroeconomic environment and uncertain market conditions have dented the industry&#39;s profitability.
Nevertheless, Swisscom AG (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/scmwy#OTC">SCMWY</a>), Telefonica, S.A. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tef#NYSE">TEF</a>) and Telenor ASA (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/telny#OTC">TELNY</a>) should benefit in the long run from a higher demand for scalable infrastructure for seamless connectivity amid the wide proliferation of IoT and transition to cloud networks and related next-gen technologies.
Industry Description
The Zacks Diversified Communication Services industry comprises firms that provide a wide array of communication services, including wireless, wireline and Internet, to business enterprises and consumers. These companies offer mobile and wireline telephone services, high-speed Internet, direct-to-home satellite television and other value-added services. In addition to providing integrated information and communications technology services to businesses and governments, some of these companies operate as local exchange carriers or full-service providers of data center colocation and related managed services in state-of-the-art data center facilities. Some industry participants also provide IP networks, private lines, network management and hosting services, along with sales, installation and maintenance of major branded IT and telephony equipment.
What&#39;s Shaping the Future of the Diversified Communication Services Industry?
Focus on Low Latency, High Bandwidth Applications: The industry participants are investing considerably in LTE, broadband and fiber to provide additional capacity and ramp up the Internet and wireless networks to meet exponential video and data demand. These companies are rapidly transforming themselves from legacy copper-based telecommunications firms to technology powerhouses. At the same time, the industry participants continue to focus on leveraging wireline momentum, expanding media coverage, improving customer service and achieving a competitive cost structure to generate higher average revenue per user while attracting new customers. Also, these firms offer the flexibility to better manage data traffic by leveraging indigenous software-defined networks to enable low-latency, high-bandwidth applications for faster access to data processing.
Diminishing ROI: Video and other bandwidth-intensive applications have witnessed exponential growth owing to the wide proliferation of smartphones and increased deployment of the superfast 5G technology. This has forced the industry participants to invest considerably in LTE, broadband and fiber to provide additional capacity and ramp up the Internet and wireless networks. These companies are rapidly transforming themselves from legacy copper-based telecommunications firms to technology powerhouses with capabilities to meet the growing demand for flexible data, video, voice and IP solutions. At the same time, the industry participants continue to focus on leveraging wireline momentum, expanding media coverage, improving customer service and achieving a competitive cost structure to generate higher average revenue per user while attracting new customers. Although these infrastructure investments are likely to be beneficial in the long run, short-term profitability has largely been compromised. High raw material prices due to elevated inventory levels, economic sanctions against the Putin regime and intensifying war-mongering conditions in the Middle East have further affected the operation schedules of various firms.
Integrated Bouquet of Services: To improve profitability, the companies are increasingly focusing on providing support services to various small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) with an integrated portfolio of voice, data and technology services. The firms are tailoring their services to suit individual business needs and are facilitating SMBs to better adapt themselves to necessary technology advancements.
Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Bullish Prospects
The Zacks Diversified Communication Services industry is housed within the broader Zacks Utilities sector. It carries a Zacks Industry Rank #46, which places it in the top 18% of more than 250 Zacks industries.
The group&#39;s Zacks Industry Rank, which is basically the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates bright near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Before we present a few diversified communication stocks that are well-positioned to outperform the market based on a relatively modest earnings outlook, let&#39;s take a look at the industry&#39;s recent stock market performance and valuation picture.
Industry Lags S&amp;P 500, Sector
The Zacks Diversified Communication Services industry has lagged the S&amp;P 500 composite and the broader Zacks Utilities sector over the past year, primarily due to macroeconomic headwinds.
The industry has lost 11.3% over this period against the S&amp;P 500&#39;s growth of 27.4% and the sector&#39;s decline of 3.6%.

3 Diversified Communication Services Stocks to Invest in
Swisscom: Headquartered in Bern, Switzerland, Swisscom offers mobile and fixed-network telecommunications services across the country and Italy.

Berkshire Hathaway, Chipotle, More NYSE Stocks Hit With Trading Halts Triggered By Technical Issues (UPDATED)

General

Telefónica Targets 2024 Revenue Growth Of ~1% YoY, With EBITDA To Grow Between 1%-2% YoY

Telefonica Q1 2024 Adj EPS €0.10 Beats €0.09 Estimate, Sales €10.140B Versus €10.05B YoY

Telefonica S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEF#NYSE">TEF</a>) announced that O2 Telefónica <a href="https://www.telefonica.de/news/press-releases-telefonica-germany/2024/05/first-5g-core-network-in-the-cloud-for-an-existing-operator-o2-telefonica-sets-new-impulses-in-the-core-network-together-with-nokia-and-aws.html">launched </a>a new 5G core network built entirely in the cloud, using technologies from European network equipment provider Nokia Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOK#NYSE">NOK</a>) and from Amazon.com Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The 5G Cloud Core will&nbsp;be designed&nbsp;for a capacity of up to 1 million customers in the first phase.
Selected O2 Telefónica customers will benefit from the advantages of the cloud, which include, among other things, higher availability and reliability&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;faster software updates.
O2 Telefónica is the first telecommunications provider with an existing network to operate its core network on AWS.
This initiative underscores Amazon&#8217;s ambitious foray into global telecommunications, according to a report from Reuters.
While several telecom networks have migrated peripheral operations to public clouds, Telefonica&#8217;s move sets a new precedent as the first existing mobile operator to transition its core network to a public cloud, signaling a shift in industry norms.
The report noted that major cloud-computing giants like Amazon and&nbsp;Microsoft Corp&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) have long sought entry into the telecom sector, eyeing substantial revenue opportunities.&nbsp;
However, skepticism among operators regarding the efficacy of public clouds in managing mobile networks has been a barrier.

Mallik Rao, Chief Technology &amp; Information Officer at O2 Telefonica, articulated a forward-looking strategy, expressing a desire to assess the cloud&#8217;s performance over several quarters and&nbsp;aiming&nbsp;to migrate a significant portion of the customer base by 2025-2026.
Transitioning the core network to a public cloud is expected to streamline operations, reduce costs, enhance scalability, and facilitate seamless repairs without service disruptions,&nbsp;thereby&nbsp;bolstering efficiency and reliability.
U.S.-based Dish notably adopted AWS cloud for its core network in 2021, a move facilitated by its greenfield approach, in contrast to existing operators with established systems, the report mentioned.
The telecom cloud market, poised for exponential growth, is projected to surge to $108.7 billion by 2030, presenting lucrative opportunities for industry players like Amazon.
Amazon stock has gained more than 78% in the last 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Consumer&nbsp;Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>) and&nbsp;Vanguard Consumer Discretionary ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VCR#NYSE">VCR</a>).
