Benchmark initiates coverage on Cincinnati Bell (NYSE: CBB) with a Buy. PT $5.00.
Benchmark analyst says, "CBB is investing cash flow from its steady telecom businesses into faster growing and more strategic data centers. Data center EBITDA represents 19% of total EBITDA, and growing. Yet the company trades below RLEC peers at 5.9x EBITDA, discounting the data center cash flow. A successful transition towards data center colocation should offset cash flow declines and enhance value."
