The analyst notes that Cogent Communications’ adoption of ARIN’s RPKI and IRR for its legacy IPv4 allocations enhances routing security but introduces new dependencies on ARIN’s infrastructure and data integrity. He believes that any RPKI failures, such as misconfigurations or compromise of signing systems, could still cause route validation errors, service degradation, or renewed exposure to route hijacking risk despite this added protection.

The average CCOI stock price target is $31.67, implying 70.41% upside potential.
