Park West Asset Management Reveals Fresh Bet On Internap Corp (INAP)

Is Internap Corp (NASDAQ:INAP) a good investment? Peter S. Park seems to think so. His fund, Park West Asset Management, has initiated a position and has accumulated exactly 3 million shares, according to a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fund’s stake amounts to approximately 5.2% of the company’s outstanding stock.

A provider of internet infrastructure services, Internap Corp (NASDAQ:INAP) has seen its stock plunge to historic lows during 2016, having lost 75% of its value between January and December. The company has started 2017 with a plan to reduce costs, reorganize its operations and recapitalize its balance sheet, while also aiming to bolster its sales team as it develops two new business units: Colocation and Cloud. At the end of December, Internap issued a press release that included some forecasts for 2017: revenue of $275 million to $285 million and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $84 million to $87 million. The company also said it will take into consideration selling some of its non-core assets and terminating programs that are not profitable.
