Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Frontier Communications Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "We are impressed with the company's focus to rake in more profits through customer retention, market share gain, new product introductions, broadband expansion and improved sales and marketing initiatives. The company is trying to derive benefits from the growing Business Service Segment. Meanwhile, foraying into North Carolina through the rollout of ‘Vantage TV’ IPTV and broadband services also bode well. Howover, the company continues to suffer from the loss of legacy fixed telephony business to wireless and decline in access lines and wireless backhaul revenues due to customer migration to Ethernet solutions at lower price points. Reports about outages, bad telephone service and problems with billing have sprouted. Over the past three months, the stock price moved down 49.22% whereas the Zacks Wireline–Regional (Rural) industry declined 27.63%." (7/17/2017)
• 2. Macquarie analysts commented, "We think both are important to instill confidence in investors on the sustainability of the model. Our target goes to US$2.65 from US$3.40 based on 5.5x our ‘18E EBITDA, assuming a 50% cut to the dividend and implying an 8% yield." (4/13/2017)
• 3. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "lumpy."Goldman comments, "Results disappointed as an on-going account clean-up contributed to steeper revenue declines and an EBITDA shortfall. We expected FTR to soften the implied EBITDA outlook, though not to this magnitude (~5% at midpoint), particularly in light of solid cost cutting. Amended bank terms ensured no covenant violations, though the leverage story worsened. Despite the print, we see light beyond a lumpy 1Q with improving trends and dividend support." (2/28/2017)
