Windstream Corporation (WIN): Should We Follow Insiders Into Windstream?

Page 2 of 2

But high leverage keeps me away

I am worried about Windstream Corporation (NASDAQ:WIN)’s overleveraged balance sheet, with a debt/equity ratio of as much as 7.3, while AT&T and Sprint Nextel Corporation (NYSE:S)’s debt/equity ratio is only 0.7 and 3.4, respectively. Thus, even though insiders have accumulated Windstream shares in the past month and the business has been generating good cash flow, I would stay away from Windstream at its current price.
