In this product we rank the most positive and negative domestic stocks, filter the symbols by market-cap and trading volume, and then divide the companies into sectors and groups. We then manually look through charts leadership/changes, bottoms-up/top-down ideas, short-term patterns that may have long-term significance, etc. We believe you will find this product valuable as significant price and relative moves begin in the daily charts.

2Q25 Broadband Trends

What’s new: in this report we discuss one of the drivers of slower broadband growth – a rise in mobileonly households. While we do not have the data to support it, we discuss the reasons why we find it a plausible explanation for the slower industry growth. We also update our industry forecast and reprise our work on competitive positioning of the operators based on relative cNPS scores.

Autumn for Broadband 2Q25

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. Net adds remained nearly flat compared to a year ago (when adjusted for ACP impact) but were within the pre-pandemic norm. Industry subscriber trends have mostly stabilized over the past 3 quarters, but y/y growth remains below pre-pandemic levels.

Mobile and broadband pair trades to consider this summer

While we have been intensively focused on such things as a Presidential intervention to prevent a Chapter 11, we admit that our mind occasionally drifts to thoughts of summer. So to help others who may have similar thoughts, we thought, in honor of summer beginning, we should provide our thoughts as to which alcohols pair best with the purchase of the stocks we cover (actually, we just asked ChatGPT and, given its attitude about intellectual property, we have no fears about just cutting and pas...

EchoStar Certified More Licenses

Over the past week, EchoStar has filed numerous new buildout reports at the FCC, increasing the number of licenses that will be preserved if the buildout deadline reverts to June 2025. In this brief note, we analyze the reports to determine the amount of additional license value that has been protected, and the value still at risk.

EchoStar Defaulting on Interest Payment

EchoStar released an 8-K this morning stating that it has elected not to make an interest payment due today. They have a 30-day grace period before this becomes an event of default. They hope to get relief from the FCC in that time. Our quick thoughts in this very brief note.

AT&T: what exactly are they buying from Lumen

This report leverages Broadband Insights to explore the markets where AT&T is buying fiber, including market demographics, the future upgrade opportunity, Cable companies at risk, and overbuilders at risk. We also distinguish the infrastructure that AT&T is buying in these markets from what they lease under IRUs and what they wholesale. Finally, we show our forecast for customers and penetration.

LUMN / AT&T: quick thoughts on fiber transaction

We provide quick thoughts on deal terms, the structure, the pending JV, and implications for Lumen, AT&T, the other wireless operators, and the Cable operators in this note. We have lots more work to do on this transaction in the coming weeks. AT&T is a big winner, in our view. This transaction supports our Buy recommendation (though we don’t expect to get paid on this thesis tomorrow).

Autumn for Broadband 1Q25

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. Net adds declined from an already weak pace a year ago and are well below the pre-pandemic norm. The expected recovery following the end of ACP didn’t materialize. We ponder whether growth is structurally lower, or whether temporary ACP-related pressures have persisted longer than expected.

LUMN 1Q25 Quick Take: Revenue & EBITDA beat

Revenue was better than expected in Business and Mass Markets. In Business, management seemed more confident in improving trends than they were last quarter. In Mass Markets, fiber deployment and net adds were below expectations, but ARPU growth was well ahead. EBITDA was better in both segments, with signs that costs are being taken out as promised. Guidance is unchanged, but management said they were ahead of their plan so far; they are just being conservative.

Further thoughts on AT&T Lumen Transaction

We published a quick take on the Bloomberg story that AT&T was in talks to buy Lumen’s Mass Market fiber asset earlier. We now wonder whether there was something missing from the story.

AT&T in talks to buy Lumen fiber assets

Bloomberg reports that AT&T is in exclusive discussions to buy the fiber business for “more than $5.5BN”. We are not at all surprised that the deal is happening or that AT&T is the buyer. We are surprised by the price – it looks too low. Our quick thoughts in this brief note.

The Lumen transaction report series

The biggest transaction likely to happen this year will be the sale of all or part of Lumen’s Mass Markets business (we expect other much bigger deals, but these will likely take longer to emerge than some seem to expect). We have covered the potential Lumen transaction in three reports in the last week: 1. We explored the Mass Markets asset in a detailed report last week that leverages Broadband Insights. This covered the markets where Lumen has deployed fiber so far, the number of competitor...

LUMN: a closer look at the infrastructure for sale

We published a report earlier this week arguing that the three national wireless carriers should all be targeting Lumen’s Mass Markets assets. In this follow-up, we provide a breakdown of Lumen’s Mass Markets assets, detailing where fiber has been deployed, how many copper locations can be upgraded with good returns, and who they compete against in fiber markets, upgradeable copper markets, and residual copper markets.

LUMN: AT&T leaves the door open

AT&T made comments at the Morgan Staley conference that we think left the door open to an acquisition of Lumen’s Mass Markets business. Our quick thoughts here.
