Fibernet (FTGX): Merriman Curhan Ford Initiates

Posted on December 15, 2006

We were pleased to see that Merriman initiated coverage of Fibernet  Telecom (FTGX) this morning with a Buy rating and an $8.25 - $9.50 price target.  We have not had a chance to review the report in detail, but we should mention that we think the analyst’s numbers are too low and that FTGX will hit the analyst’s 2008 numbers in 2007.  Notably, the analyst’s free cash-flow numbers are absurdly low given that FTGX’s annualized FCF from the last quarter  is  already double the analyst’s 2007 numbers. Finally, there is little discussion on FTGX’s replacement value, which we  value at over $10. Overall, the low-ball numbers should help propel FTGX shares higher in 2007, as management is able to exceed these estimates, as we expect.
