Orange, just wait and see after the VoIP goes nationwide. It won't be long. The FCC and the baby bells can't stop it no longer. Plus WiMAX, and on and on. This has a good chance to get into a nice run, soon, very soon, IMO.

I got quite a few shares here, and still loading at this price.

As a long time Covad stock holder and member at Yahoo Groups I invite any/all members here to come to the Yahoo board and read/research/post - it's a good source of info about Covad, and free of almost all nonsense (as opposed to RB, and unusal for a Yahoo group by and large).

Registration is required if I remember correctly, but it's simply a matter of emailing and requesting being added as a member.

Cheers - Yahman

Anyone picking COVD here at these bargain prices? I think the worst is behind them, uncertainty starting to fade, and there was even an insider purchase by the CEO of 25,000 shares.

I think it's manipulated on the OTC, but that we have a double over the summer as the GoBeam deal goes forward.

[firered1]

Right now I am using Covd as a trading stock. Not holding more than a few days. Got burned bad on Covd last year and now hold no individual stocks for long term especially in this economy. Bought on 3/30 at $2.28 and sold today at $2.48. Waiting to see the jobs report out tomorrow.

I am thrilled it is going up--sure as hell can't go down any further!

Kaufman Brothers

NEW YORK, March 31 (New Ratings) - Analysts at Kaufman Brothers upgrade Covad Communications (COVD) from "hold" to "buy." The target price is set to $4.

Shares of Covad Communications, a provider of digital communication networking and firewall technologies, are currently trading at $2.21.

According to Kaufman Brothers' research note published yesterday, the company's share price recently witnessed a sharp decline. The company is likely to regain its reselling contract with AOL in the near future, the analysts say. Covad Communications’ contract with AT&T offers more visibility into the company’s growth prospects, the analysts add.

According to Kaufman Brothers, Covad Communications is expected to close its GoBeam acquisition by the end of May. The company expects its VoIP segment to contribute meaningfully to earnings growth in the long term, the analysts say. The current overhang on the company's stock is on account of UNE-P related regulatory issues, the analysts mention. Since Covad Communications is a facilities-based provider, UNE-P related regulatory outcomes are unlikely to affect the company’s growth prospects, Kaufman Brothers believes.

The EPS estimates for 2004 and 2005 are -$0.24 and -$0.06, respectively.
