Garmin, Level 3 Communications and Lamar Ad Shares Rise, Boosting Nasdaq 100
NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of Garmin Ltd. and Level 3 Communications Inc. helped push the Nasdaq 100 to a higher finish Thursday, after the index wavered between gains and losses for much of the day.
The Nasdaq 100, which includes 100 of the largest nonfinancial securities listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, rose 2.55 points to finish at 2,105.56. The broader Nasdaq composite added 4.14 to 2,733.57.
Garmin Ltd. shares added $4.43, or 4.6 percent, to $100.95. Following two days of losses, the personal navigation device maker bounced back after a Deutsche Bank analyst said the sale of Navteq Corp., which provides Garmin with map data, is not a threat to Garmin's business.
Level 3 Communications shares climbed 21 cents, or 4.4 percent, to $5.
Shares of Lamar Advertising Co. rose $2.15, or 4.2 percent, to $53.02, after a Morgan Stanley analyst said the outdoor advertising company may top his forecast for the deployment of 350 digital billboards next year.
On the declining side, shares of wireless carrier NII Holdings Inc. sank $4.34, or 5.5 percent, to $74.48.
Shares of pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts Inc. lost $2.15, or 3.9 percent, to $53.69.
Akamai Technologies Inc. shares fell $1.06, or 3.4 percent, to $30.01.

Will Level 3 (LVLT) Drive Down Akamai (AKAM) Margins
Alley Insider is reporting that as Level 3 (LVLT) moves into the content delivery network business dominated by Akamai (AKAM) that it will undercut what the industry charges most clients by a significant amount. The site reports that "Level 3 plans to sell CDN services at the same rates it sells plain-vanilla Internet bandwidth."
Akamai's shares are already under tremendous pressue from lower pricing offered by several private companies and by recent IPO Limelight Networks (LLNW).
Akamai traded for almost $60 last February. It now changes hands at $30. Limelight traded above $24 after its IPO and now sits just above $9.
Because Level 3 has such a large network and bandwidth of its own, it may be able to offer content delivery at a large discount. It is hard to imagine that it can make much money by pursuing the tactic.
It could be that, as prices drop for customers, all three companies lose.
