Verizon Shareholders Lose, Frontier Shareholders Win With Deal Approval

Summary I initiate coverage on Frontier (buy at $38.50) and Verizon (hold at $39.53) due to the merger's impact on shareholder value and growth prospects. Frontier benefits from a 30-40% premium deal, offsetting its negative cash flow and financing concerns, making it a favorable buyout. Verizon faces increased debt and management distraction risks, with potential EPS benefits not expected until 2027, justifying a hold rating. FYBR stock's quant rating driven by deal momentum; excluding this, it would be a sell, highlighting the buyout's significance for struggling Frontier. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Verizon's Deal To Buy Frontier Will Face Regulatory Challenges

Summary Frontier Communications is being acquired by Verizon for $38.50 per share in cash, expected to close in 18 months.

Frontier shareholders should consider selling near the deal price due to regulatory hurdles, while Verizon investors should be cautious of the 18-month timeline and risks.

Frontier Communications Parent Q4: Upgrading My Rating To Buy On Positive EBITDA Growth

Summary I upgrade my rating to a buy due to expected positive EBITDA growth and improving financial outlook. FYBR's expanding fiber footprint and increasing adoption of higher-margin services should drive ARPU and EBITDA growth. Management guidance for at least 5% EBITDA growth in 2024 is achievable, marking a turnaround from past negative trends. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
