Late last month, one of those Fools, IUB620, succinctly summed up the Cellcom bull case for our community: "Today it is Israel's leading cellular provider. It has over 3 million subscribers. The company is profitable and issues regular dividends. [Cellcom] is one of the more stable technology stocks."
However, the company recently cut its second-quarter dividend payment, and future payments will also be under review.
