BUZZ-European Telcos: JP Morgan finds difficult to advocate buying
** JP Morgan sees little justification for buying Telcos on fundamental grounds, with sector revenue growth still elusive and relative valuation unexciting
** However, brokerage says out-performance could be supported by industry M&A
** Brokerage downgrades Sweden's Telia to "neutral" as it sees continued pressure on Swedish EBITDA and says valuation is now less attracitve
** JPM continues to expect some upside on the cashflow and dividend front, but notes two downside risks: deteriorating Sweden weighing on EBITDA (organic: 9M18: -2%, 4Q18e: -6.5%) and integration risks related to Bonnier
** Brokerage names top picks, which include BT, Elisa (EUREX: 813397.EX - news) , Euskaltel (Berlin: 28655195.BE - news) , Orange (LSE: 0OQV.L - news) , PROX , and Vodafone
