Stock Track | Uniti Group Surges on Potential AI-Driven Fiber Network Demand

Stock Track08-08

Shares of Uniti Group Inc (UNIT) soared 5.21% in intraday trading on Wednesday, as investors speculated that the telecommunications company could benefit from increased demand for high-capacity fiber networks driven by the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

The surge in Uniti Group's stock price followed a significant rally in Lumen Technologies (LUMN), a rival telecommunications company that secured $5 billion in new deals from major tech companies, including Microsoft, for its fiber networks. According to analysts, the surge in demand for fiber networks is being fueled by the massive investments in AI by tech giants.

Raymond James analyst Frank G. Louthan noted that other carriers, such as Uniti Group and construction firm Dycom, could also see a boost from the AI hyperscalers' investments in fiber networks. "We believe other carriers are getting some incremental business from the AI hyperscalers in addition to what they are spending with Lumen," Louthan wrote.
