- Consolidated Communications Holdings changed its policy for capital allocation in April 2019, which was basically a complete dividend suspension to pay down debt.
- The share price collapsed right after the announcement. Investors were not pleased with the change of direction.
- Be that as it may, the financial fundamentals have been improving in small steps since Q2 2019.
- Patient investors can now add a much more solid Consolidated Communications Holdings at around book prices.
- I'd rate the stock as a hold and I'm keeping my position, because I believe that the focus on developing fiber infrastructure will eventually pay off.
