“Cogent Communications Holdings (Communication Services, Special Situation) Cogent was the largest detractor as the timeline for generating meaningful Wavelength revenue extended beyond expectations.”

Cogent Communications Inc. - June 2025
“ Cogent Communications Holdings Inc. (CCOI) historical core financial results continue to grind forward as we await monetization of its wavelength and data center businesses.”
Cogent Communications Inc. - June 2025
“Our worst performing IT stock was Cogent Communications (CCOI). CCOI is an internet service provider that carries nearly 25% of the world’s internet traffic on its global network. The company recently announced the addition of a new service for existing customers called Wavelength Services, which provide high-capacity, low-latency networking connections using advanced optical technology that allows multiple, private, high-capacity circuits to be delivered over a single pair of optical fibers. Wavelength Services provides dedicated, secure bandwidth with a high degree of reliability. Expectations were high for this new service as a growth driver and the company missed those expectations slightly, sending the stock sharply lower. After several meetings and conversations with management, we’ve since used this weakness as an opportunity to add to our investment in CCOI as we believe this is an overreaction to a small but fast- growing revenue line that’s experiencing some early growing pains.”
