Uniti Grp. Inc. (UNIT)

[jugs]

There are far too many question marks out there for me to give you a pat answer. I can tell you this much although I'm not certain it will hold value for you:

1. I was expecting the divestiture of the Latin American towers. While the service is critical to the several countries concerned, business is business and those countries' concerns don't guarantee profitability for UNII---in the future.


2. REIT distributions are based on the payout of 90% or greater of earnings AFTER deducting for expenses. Thus, the Latin American tower sale will be recognized as but one item in a whole long list of income producers. I do know these towers do not represent a lot of potential income at this time. I believe their acquisition was built in part on the expectation of further development of the asset.


3. For me, at least, it's far too early to predict anything although there's a lot of talk about the distribution being cut by as much as half.

Just now looked at the unit price and find it'[s down by a whole dollar and a couple of cents. Something about distributions may have come out but I'm not current at this moment.

Good luck to you.

There are other more reliable picks out there paying 12%, by the way. Look at NGL. It's my largest position by far, is rock solid (stable and on the rise strongly. I added each day this week and will probably continue to do so today. The IHUB NGL board is as good as they get. I'm a moderator there.
