Context and risks
Elevated governance risk in France due to state ownership and regulatory pressure on telecom prices. The 3.74x net debt/EBITDA amplifies exposure to interest rates, although the ECB is raising rates, increasing the cost of debt service.

Verdict: Hold: the stock is cheap and the dividend is attractive, but debt and the rate environment limit upside potential.
Main risk: The main risk is the high debt (ND/EBITDA 3.74x) in an ECB rising rate environment, which increases financing costs and pressures the balance sheet.
