Company’s strategy:
Currently, Windstream Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:WIN) is shifting its composition of revenue in the direction of broadband and enterprises services. There are some factors which can play a deciding role in the future of the company.
In 2012,in 16 states, the company was awarded with 16 broadband stimulus projects.Clearly, the company is trying to penetrate into the broadband market. Jeff Gardner, CEO and president said, “Once we build out these stimulus sites, they have very high penetration rates. Well over 50 percent of the homes passed will subscribe to our service.”
Though the company is making more revenues in 2012, the Earnings per Share (EPS) of the company reduced due to the cost structure of the company and this describes the declining trend of the share price.
