NXLK leads Motley Fool "Heroes" for 9/29 Evening News: "Facilities-based competitive local exchange carrier NEXTLINK (Nasdaq: NXLK) (N) (S) gained another $2 1/2 to $25 3/4 after rocketing from its IPO price of $17 on Friday. The company, which is 79% controlled by cellular telecom entrepreneur Craig McCaw, is run by former AT&T Wireless executive officers. Based on multiples to trailing operating figures, the company looks horrendously expensive, but year-over-year growth rates on revenues are running well into the 70% plus range. With a cash infusion from the IPO and $400 million in debt, the company is set to expand into the New York and Los Angeles markets, going after enterprise customers with high-bandwidth needs. If it can reach half the efficiency of WORLDCOM (Nasdaq: WCOM) (N) (S) by 1998, in terms of gross cash flow to capital employed, then NextLink is selling at 7.5 times 1998 gross cash flow, or about 23% of WorldCom's current valuation." source: fool.com Doug (no position in NXLK)
