Uniti Group is considered a 'strong buy' due to the positive impact of merger synergies.

The company exceeded its 2025 pro forma revenue and EBITDA guidance, achieving $3.79 billion in revenue and $1.54 billion in EBITDA, showcasing strong operational momentum.
Management is focusing on significant fiber expansion and plans to sell non-core assets valued between $500 million and $1 billion. These strategic moves aim to reduce debt and potentially increase EBITDA by up to $100 million. This focus on core assets and debt reduction is expected to strengthen the company's financial position.
