- Despite some friendly talk around consolidation, Cablevision (NYSE:CVC) is an "un-acquirable asset," says a key telecom industry analyst.
- Craig Moffett of MoffettNathanson thinks shares are overvalued and artificially high since a wave of roiling M&A action following the breakup of Comcast's takeover bid for Time Warner Cable.
- The company has too much competitive overlap with Verizon (NYSE:VZ) FiOS, he says.
- "After factoring in its already below-market trailing growth rates, and its FiOS-affected forward growth prospects, Cablevision's shares appeared markedly overvalued even before the latest round of speculation," Moffett writes.
- Today: CVC +4%.
