Argus Starts Vodafone (VOD) at Hold

Argus initiates coverage on Vodafone (NASDAQ: VOD) with a Hold rating.

The analyst said although company efforts should boost earnings over time, they believe that Vodafone's growth prospects are already reflected in the stock's premium valuation of 33.3-times their FY18 earnings per ADS forecast, well above the peer average of 20.1 for diversified telecom services companies.
