DA Davidson Starts Lumos Networks Corp (LMOS) at Underperform

DA Davidson initiates coverage on shares of Lumos Networks Corp (Nasdaq: LMOS) with an Underperform rating and $11 price target.

The firm highlights the acquisition of Verizon’s (NYSE: VZ) properties, allowed the company to become the main provider of incumbent telecom services in West Virginia.

An analyst at DA Davidson comments, "We think LMOS’ fiber network could be worth 6x-8x EBITDA, but, with ~$60 million of run-rate EBITDA, this would result in a value of $360-$480 million—which is below the current enterprise value of $527 million for all of Lumos."

For Q4, the firm forecasts EPS of $0.09 on $50.9 million in sales.
