Citadel Securities initiates coverage on Windstream (NASDAQ: WIN) with a Add. PT $15.

Citadel analyst says, "We rate WIN Add and consider it the best long-term investment of the three RLECs we cover. Windstream’s current valuation appears less favorable than CenturyLink’s, but we think the modest premium is justified; on our 2013 estimates, their valuations largely converge. Beyond that, we believe Windstream has better prospects for sustained revenue and EBITDA growth. Thus, while CenturyLink may offer more near-term upside, we think patient investors will be better rewarded with a long position in Windstream."
