Now what
The company closed 15 new contracts with wireless carriers in the second quarter, up from seven in the year-ago period. With a backlog of 78 distributed antenna installations yet to perform, Boingo should deliver solid revenue growth for the foreseeable future.
The stock has now gained a market-beating 116% over the last 52 weeks and 233% in a three-year period. It's no surprise to see the stock chart pushing upward again when Boingo Wireless delivers rapid-growth results of this stellar caliber.
