Description: UNIT Uniti January 16, 2026
Uniti Group Inc. (NASDAQ: UNIT) is a U.S.-based fiber infrastructure REIT that builds, operates, and markets high-capacity fiber networks under the brands Uniti Wholesale, Kinetic, Uniti Fiber, and Uniti Solutions, serving over one million residential and commercial customers with mission-critical connectivity.
Key metrics that analysts watch include its 2023 total fiber mileage of roughly 13,000 route-kilometers, a year-over-year revenue growth of 12% driven by expanding wholesale contracts, and a dividend yield near 5.2% that reflects its REIT status. The company’s performance is closely tied to macro trends such as rising data-center construction, the acceleration of remote-work bandwidth demand, and the need for robust backhaul for 5G deployments, all of which support long-term traffic growth in the fiber sector.
