"Why is stock so low"

Nobody is taking this company seriously anymore until they change their leadership. A decent quarter doesn't mean anything - just look at the stock price drop the last 5 years. Confidence in leadership will sell stocks - obviously Wall Street doesn't have any confidence in TT and his Zombie teams.

Action speaks louder than words - and no matter how many name changes or whatever they talk about in their 'auditions' at the Merrill Lynch Conferences - the stock reflects what shareholders - or in WIN's case - lack of shareholders really feel about where this company is heading.

You never saw the stock drop this low and keep on going low with Jeff Gardner as CEO - he may not have made popular choices with the employees, but he said the right things so the stock stayed at a decent price.

When will they get Jeff's replacement? This interim CEO still can't cut it after 4 years at trying to figure out how to run a company.

Why is stock so low? Quarterly numbers weren’t bad actually and where is that court ruling?

Stock tanking below $3 soon. Wall Street won't seriously pay attention to this company until they get new leadership - starting at the top. Maybe the real value of this company is stock around the $1 to $2 range, even then the CEO pay needs to drastically be cut. How can you ask the employees to work and not get a decent raise, and yet you make over $5 million a year and ruining what was once a good company.

The Board of Directors should be booted as well as the executive leadership - probably the most clueless Board in telecom!

Outsourcing the executive leadership is the only way to save the company - TT you can still make a difference and do what is right! You might even be allowed to take Cobra health insurance after you are canned!

Wouldn't that be a Christmas miracle?! Just think if TT and the rest of the execs cut their pay to $300k or less and share it with the rest of the company? I know we talk about TT all the time, but even the execs made $850K - $1.2M in 2017. Just check out the Yahoo finance profile page for proof!

"We looked at a group of companies with market capitalizations under US$200m, and the median CEO compensation was US$296k."

Hey Windstream Board Of Directors - why are you paying this clown over $5 million dollars a year - when clearly he is being overpaid? Cutting his salary will enable the company to use that money for better things. Downgrade the salary with the size of the company. WE isn't a '1 Billion Dollar Company' anymore, and soon it will be less than $100 million. Tough financial times need tough financial decisions.

Get with it - make the necessary salary adjustments. Oh yeah, that's right - you guys aren't allowed to make decisions without final approval from TT! LOL!!!
