MCI Communications Corporation: Case Analysis
Introduction
MCI Communications Corporation is facing a situation that numerous businesses encounter at one time or another in business: how to persistly grow. ... MCI’s stock has been to some extent listless, in an otherwise buoyant market, and has shown signs that stockholders are becoming impatient from the corporation’s lack of steady growth.
In order to tackle the stockholders lack of enthusiasm, MCI turned to an external consulting agency intended at improving financial strength swiftly. ...
In a conference held by MCI, a plan was proposed for the organization to repurchase some of its outstanding common stock. The plan would be to increase MCI’s debt financing, which would eventually double the existing debt to equity ratio to approximately 80%. Even though this seemed like an extreme measure, Gavin Phillips, a director at MCI, declared that the debt to capital would remain at a modest point given the stated industry. To repurchase the stock MCI would be required to take on a further $2 billion in debt. ...
In the meantime at the same meeting, other supporters within MCI felt that Gavin’s measures were too extreme and they proposed an open-market purchase plan.
