Cogent - What Now?
CCOI (holding update): Sprint Wireline acquisition struggled - $470M ARR→$156M, waves growth <100/mo vs 500 target, $140M network costs not initially disclosed. Refinancing $750M unsecured notes w/ secured debt, selling ~50MW DCs for ~$300M (likely to Antin), using proceeds to deleverage from 6.8x. Massive asset value: fiber network worth $3-5B, 20M IPv4s=$400M, IP transit=$1-2B. Sees $40-90 upside near-term via refinancing success, $200+ if waves scale (currently $55M ARR, +90% YoY). Bottom branch=$20 if ops don't improve.
