Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc. (CCOI): A Bull Case Theory
SHARE

Recently, an analysis on Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc. featured on Compound & Fire’s Substack caught our attention. In this article, we will distill the bullish perspective surrounding CCOI. As of September 18th, Cogent’s stock was trading at $37.92, with trailing and forward P/E ratios at 94.04 and a staggering 5,000 respectively, according to data from Yahoo Finance.

Cogent Communications Holdings (NASDAQ: CCOI) emerges as a noteworthy deep-value prospect amid its façade as a heavily leveraged, transitioning telecommunications entity. One might perceive concern upon noticing the $2.3 billion debt coupled with persistent net losses and the divestiture of CEO shares. However, a closer examination reveals Cogent is home to undervalued assets and potential growth catalysts that are often overlooked.

In a game-changing development, Cogent acquired Sprint’s wireline assets from T-Mobile for a mere $1 in 2024. This substantial deal encompassed an impressive 19,000 miles of intercity fiber, 1,200 miles of metro fiber, 482 central office buildings, alongside a segment of the Global Mobile Group enterprise. Additionally, it included a $700 million subsidy from T-Mobile spread over 54 months. These previously dormant assets are being revitalized into highly profitable optical wavelength services and data centers, thereby amplifying Cogent’s operational terrain to 2 million square feet and offering 212 MW of power. The capital expenditures are projected to peak in 2024 and later stabilize at around $150 million annually.

Moreover, Cogent is poised to benefit from a tax shield extending until 2030, allowing EBITDA to convert directly into cash generation. The prospect of monetizing 24 non-core data centers and 38 million IPv4 addresses could amass between $1.8 billion to $2.6 billion. This influx could potentially abolish net debt and favorably reduce interest expenses. Envisioning an emerging wavelength business that aims for $500 million in revenue by 2028—with gross margins nearing 90%—augments a traditional, stabilizing legacy business. This trajectory significantly propels long-term EBITDA growth to approximately $500 million, coupled with anticipated free cash flow reaching $278 million. Even a cautious outlook suggests a yield exceeding 10% in free cash flow, further complemented by a robust dividend rate of 10.8%.

While some may raise eyebrows at the CEO’s share sales, it is essential to understand that these transactions are largely independent of the company’s core performance. Cogent’s strategic direction remains steadfastly oriented towards high-margin optical wavelengths and data center interconnections. With plans for asset monetization, aggressive debt-clearing strategies, and a booming demand for optical transport services, Cogent reveals an enticing risk/reward scenario. This is further substantiated by tangible catalysts and the potential for a favorable market reevaluation, establishing it as a leading deep-value proposition within the telecom sector.

Earlier, we discussed a bullish thesis on Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc. (CCOI) authored by Aaron Chan in January 2025. This analysis shed light on the company’s wavelength network that capitalizes on Sprint’s fiber assets, ROADM-enabled hubs, and scalable solutions catering to hyperscale clientele. Interestingly, the stock price has experienced a decline of approximately 48.06% since our previous coverage. Nonetheless, the foundational argument remains valid as CCOI’s network is fully operational. Compound & Fire echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the catalysts of deep value including tax shields, data center monetization, and ongoing debt reduction efforts.
