Uniti Group remains a 'strong buy' following an 81.9% surge post-merger, driven by robust fundamentals and strategic execution. UNIT's merger with Windstream resolved its largest risk, diversified revenue, and accelerated fiber network expansion, notably through the Kinetic segment.
Uniti (UNIT) saw its shares surge in the last session with trading volume being higher than average. The latest trend in FFO estimate revisions may not translate into further price increase in the near term.
UNIT's Kinetic tops 2 million fiber premises across 18 states, marking a key milestone in expanding high-speed internet access.
