BancBoston Robertson Stephens senior eCommerce analyst Rick Juarez today
reiterated his Buy rating on PSINet, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSIX). The company,
headquartered in Herndon, Va., is a leading business centric provider of
facilities based Internet access and electronic commerce products.
"We are reiterating our Buy rating on PSI. We are updating our recent
call on the company's acquisition of Transaction Network Services, Inc. (TNI),
which we believe will produce revenue upside of $200 million and EBITDA
increase of $60 million in 2000," said Juarez. "We estimate that the closure
of this transaction will lift 2000 revenue to approximately $900 million to $1
billion and EBITDA to $150 to $170 million.
"In addition, PSI's acquisition of TNI confirms our Virtual Brick thesis
of increased outsourcing of business-to-business applications and the
accelerating need for turn-key services," said Juarez.
