Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Buy the Pullback Again Our outlook remains bullish following the S&P 500's multi-month base breakout above 5670, alongside healthy market dynamics which have continued to improve. Two weeks ago, our election day Compass report (11/5/24) was titled "Buy the Pullback," and with the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 (QQQ), and Russell 2000 (IWM) all pulling back to their respective 20-day MAs, we believe it is time to buy the pullback again. We continue to expect significant upside into year-end and the early p...

LUMN: What is Lumen worth now?

We skipped publishing on the implications of up to $12BN in new contracts for Lumen and others because we didn’t officially cover Lumen when the news broke, and we assumed others would get to the right insights before us (and we had our hands full with results for the companies we do cover).

Autumn for Broadband 2Q24

In this installment of our Autumn for Broadband series, we provide a quick update on trends in the broadband market based on what we have seen from the companies that have reported so far. Industry net adds were down substantially from a year ago, but trends have leveled off sequentially and they look to remain stable in 3Q24 (adjusting for one-time ACP impacts). We continue to expect growth to recover once the ACP headwind has passed.

LUMN: quick thoughts following the call

In this note we cover the implications of the big contract wins announced last week as well as our thoughts on improving trends in Mass Markets and the value that Lumen is creating in that business. Lumen’s Mass Markets business has gone from consistently disappointing to one of the better performing assets in the group. The results they are delivering are very supportive of our positive view of broadband assets generally.

2Q24 Broadband Preview

Broadband industry growth has slowed over the last couple of quarters. For 2Q24, we expect reported broadband net adds below last year and pre-pandemic levels. We estimate that after adjusting for the one-time impact of ACP related disconnects, net adds were still below last year but were in-line with pre-pandemic levels. We think consensus expectations for the quarter are a little too negative, especially for Cable, and we expect reported adds to be slightly better than expectations.

US Broadband: Updating NPS for May and June

We have now updated the broadband NPS data from our 1Q24 broadband trends report for the months of May and June. Most Cable and Fiber operators have shown an improvement in NPS over the last 3 months. FWA NPS worsened slightly closing the gap between itself and other technologies. The worsening of FWA’s NPS was driven by Verizon FWA’s NPS which continued to worsen with lower scores across all drivers.

The broadband Open Access model

We created a model to better understand the economics of Gigapower for both AT&T and Blackrock. Please use the model and give us your thoughts. The model clarifies the value of broadband assets generally. It also clarifies why we are likely to see similar JVs from Frontier, Lumen, and others. We will adapt this model for those instances in due course.
