* Compares to: CBB FTR CMCSA T
* Pays 12% Dividend yield currently, so little risk. Ex-divident is Oct. 12th. payable Nov. 1st and quarterly.
* Potential to double on Fibretracement to $24 into early 2019 and upward by end of 2019 into 5G massive MIMO communications and fiber optic cable lines for markets served.
* Will be positioned to grow into 2019 with dividends and then catch 5G services growth and target by year end 2019 likely $28-30, as Telecom stocks grow when profits made.
* EPS Growth was -386800%, just indicates it is making progress with profitability vs industry average 144%, but it is a small cap.
* Mkt Cap $914M, 2018 sales will be $1.4B, that's a bababa-billion. Enterprise value with recent upgrade is paultry 3.25B, or shows undervalue ratio 3.25/0.914 = 3.55 and poised to grow customers. Book value buy?
* Debt however is high and will reduce with growth as small-cap to mid-cap (expected for market and opportunity).
* Insider buying is small, but a positive 27,000 shares/yr. last 2 yrs.
* With telecom & cable industry at current prices not sure if it'd be an acquisition target?

CNSL short from Weekly Rising WedgePrice has funneled higher in a rising wedge pattern. Now we have price closing beneath the rising trendline and previous horizontal support / resistance level. Best entry would be to sell a break of the most recent bar. There is a good chance that the trendline will be tested from beneath. However, price should not close back above the trendline if the pattern is correct.
