What did you buy your employee shares for? Ugh. Starlink doesn’t need a fiber line…like cell towers. Cell towers might become the next Fixed Wireless Internet ..too expensive to maintain…..who knows what the future holds.. Starlink putting a data center in space doesn’t need fiber lines either does it… yikes... I remember when Windstream sank below $5 a share.. then below $1 a share… and remember all those angry coworkers that invested in stock….almost seems like that was just yesterday.

@1f3 $4.20 is literally upon us WTF
@25d I’ll take the gas
One gallon of gas cost more than one share. What a world.
@216 Sadly it's likely successful IPO's in AI and failures of IPO's in AI will both hurt the stock. The IPO takes investor money away and then if the IPO looks bad it will also pull money out.
@20v nothing to do with "super intelligence" or data centers today, but it is true that all telcos will face pressure when bad news emerges like anthropic or x.ai tanking or any major data center projects stalling will keep chipping away at telco stocks
@20t Data center strategy has been misguided from the start. AI needs research funding. The data center land-grab has been doomed to fail but the goal is to see who can become TOO BIG TO FAIL and get the bailout(s) and thus control as much territory as possible.
The Data Centers need networking and other things which may prop up some telecoms and announcements by telecoms about AI are mostly hype-cycle cash grabs
@201 Cracks in the AI and Data Center market are emerging which does not help but isn't all of it...
Holy moly in the 4’s we go. What’s going down?
super intelligence will awaken a greenstreak on the stock price just wait you haters
@1m0 Mutilization of shareholder value continues
@1f3 getting close! $5.07 right now, but did drop as low as $4.98 today.
When it hits $4.20 I think we should all get the day off let's see what happens.
Dang with all those smart VP’s you’d think it would be soaring!
Maybe they just promoted their buddies to VP so they all get a better severance package when they are bought out and all jobless in this shrinking industry. Have you looked up former VP and executives of Windstream .. very few if any are still in the fiber/former telecom industry….
Who’s on deck…. Batter up!
Please update to 5 dollars a share
@ry why would they need to be worried? what are you going to do....oh nothing. run your mouth again
@rp spoken like a Director or VP that got called out… Good job the comments about your great leadership must have been really good for you to post this on the layoff site, you should be worried.
Boycotting the employee survey sends a stronger signal than negative feedback. The feedback isn't the metric, only "engagement" matters. FWIW
Glad I quit that dumpster fire earlier this year. Then my manager quit probably because they were going to get fired for fraud and having 9 jobs.
It'sike people forgot how many coworkers poured money into the ESPP under Windstream only for the actions of the CEO and the legal bimbo to make that stock worthless.
It was the rumors of a purchase by T-Mobile and another group that drove the price up months ago.
Look at how this dumpster fire runs and if you're investing money in it I have some oceanfront property in Arizona we should discuss.
@bq Fool me twice, shame on y...me...fool me once....hey it's just not nice to fool people, ok?
@OP If the fiber assets are bought will the copper business keep HQ in Arkansas?
Don't worry. All the new Frontier Leaders will show us the way. hahahahahah
@de Expect more lawsuits
@bq There was a lawsuit or two over the 401(k) issue because "It's not a matter of if we win the lawsuit, it's only a matter of 'when' we win the lawsuit" was the messaging from the king of all finance wizards TT at the time. Some people believed it and lost substantially. 401(k)s will prove to be one of the biggest scams ever in general because financial engineers like TT and KG pump and dump the economy which 401(k)'s are premised on.
They used to pay 401k match in stock. A lot of employees rode it down to $0 when the stock was cancelled during the first bankruptcy.
$5.64 a share… next all those bonuses and magnys payouts will be paid in stock to try and keep its head above the water.
@bf Symmetrical speed was proposed but was biased to fiber but standards used to definitely favor cable, fiber, and improved copper
@b1 Yeah and it wasn't that long ago that symmetrical speed above certain level was required to get BEAD/CAF/etc funds. The nation needs more fiber and terrestrial infra in general but it's not looking good now that Musk has dirt on a president.
Starlink still needs a fiber backbone. The lobbying game is what it's all about. All the engineering happens in D.C. and StarLink by-way-of SpaceX, has primed the pump. SpaceX is something like 80% an AI company now and if that market implodes, which it increasingly looks like it will, it could at least level the playing field for a while but the collateral damage of AI imploding will be felt so far and wide that it will not trickle down to Uniti any time soon and will possibly hurt it in the short-term...
Finance doesn't drive the truck. After Uniti bought the company Kenny froze finance out from all the Kinetic decisions. Kinetic has been spending money like a drunken sailor on shore leave hiring friends in VP and SVP positions with no responsibilities and bringing in vendors with dubious contracts that get nothing done.
FINANCE DRIVES THE TRUCK!!!!!!!!
Maybe down because of the news article out today "Can Uniti Afford it's spending bill?" $10 billion in debt and $100 million a year going to pay the interest. They are walking a tightrope.
