Uniti Group Inc. (UNIT) Presents at Bank of America Leveraged Finance Conference Transcript
Uniti Group is a top holding in my concentrated portfolio, rated a "Strong Buy" due to its transformative merger with Windstream. UNIT is positioned to capitalize on explosive growth in generative AI and fiber markets, with management targeting significant market share and revenue expansion. Despite a high debt load, UNIT's robust fiber network, rising penetration rates, and ambitious growth targets offer massive upside potential for shareholders.
Uniti Group Inc. is rated a buy after Q3, following a transformative merger and a pivot to become a premier insurgent fiber provider. UNIT's new structure, operational synergies, and leadership improvements position it for aggressive growth, especially in fiber and AI-driven connectivity markets. Kinetic division shows strong subscriber and penetration growth, while Fiber Infrastructure benefits from hyperscaler demand and high-margin deals.
Uniti Group (UNIT) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.16 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.18 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.08 per share a year ago.
Despite a disappointing Q2 and lowered guidance, I reaffirm Uniti Group as a 'strong buy' due to the transformative Windstream merger. The Windstream deal removes counterparty risk, accelerates fiber transition, and positions the company for significant long-term growth. Pro forma estimates and attractive EV/EBITDA multiples suggest substantial upside potential, with annualized returns possibly exceeding 30%.

Uniti (UNIT) was a big mover last session on higher-than-average trading volume. The latest trend in FFO estimate revisions might not help the stock continue moving higher in the near term.
Uniti (UNIT) has been upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), reflecting growing optimism about the company's earnings prospects. This might drive the stock higher in the near term.
The market has overreacted to Uniti Group Inc.'s recent performance; shares dropped 23.7% despite strong financials and promising merger with Windstream. Revenue and adjusted FFO exceeded analyst expectations, but minor guidance reductions led to a stock price decline.
