Orange: not gone bad

Article Abstract:

Orange has performed well since Mar 1996 when the company was floated, but this is not reflected in its share price. The company has increased its market share and achieved subscriber targets. Orange is not expected to report a profit for some years so valuations have to be made with forecasts of cash flows. The market looks set to grow and the company is well placed to withstand competition. Orange has a digital network which provides better quality than analog networks. The company's churn rate is also low.
