Goldman analyst says, "Our Sell rating on Portugal Telecom was based on our negative view of the surprisingly rapid acquisition of Oi, an asset facing long-term structural and competitive risks and with high corporate governance uncertainty given its complex ownership structure. We were also concerned that severe austerity measures in Portugal would undermine the benefits of an attractive domestic market structure and PT’s sector-leading investments in FTTH rollout."
