Description: UNIT Uniti

Uniti Group Inc. (NASDAQ: UNIT) is a U.S.-based fiber infrastructure company that builds, operates, and delivers communications services to more than a million residential and business customers. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, the company operates through four brands: Uniti Wholesale, Kinetic, Uniti Fiber, and Uniti Solutions, serving the wholesale, residential, and enterprise connectivity markets.

Although its underlying business is telecommunications infrastructure, Uniti is classified under the Real Estate sector (GICS Sub Industry: Other Specialized REITs) because it leases fiber capacity to other carriers and service providers. As a REIT, Uniti is generally required to distribute the majority of its taxable income to shareholders. The company trades on NASDAQ with a mid-cap market capitalization and has been publicly listed since April 2015.
