(CNVRG) has hit its two million fiber port rollout target for 2022. This cements CNVRG&#8217;s status as the largest fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network in the Philippines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Converge disclosed that it has expanded its port deployment primarily in the National Capital Region (NCR), Rizal, North and Central Luzon and Mindanao. As of end- November NTC, CNVRG has extended its fiber footprint to more than 613,000 kilometers, consisting of subsea, aerial, and terrestrial fiber optic cable network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Analysis and Recommendation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the rollout, CNVRG is prepared to meet the growing demand for high-speed internet connectivity. As of 3rd quarter 2022, CNVRG has covered 14.3 million homes or 53% of households. It is on track to hit its accelerated 2022 target of 55%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, with most schools back to face-to-face arrangements and workers now going back to offices, we believe that subscribers&#8217; growth has already peaked and churn rates are rising. With growth flattening, the market is no longer valuing CNVRG as a high growth stock. Trading range should normalize with an immediate price resistance of P20.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><em><em><em><em>This report is prepared by PinoyInvestor\u2019s partner broker below.
